My wife and I stayed at the Captain Jefferd's recently for a long weekend. We were able to bring our Shih-tzu, Shelby because the Capt. Jefferd's is one of the few B&B's in the area that allows dogs. We stayed in the Hideaway which is tucked back behind the main house, accessible by its own private staircase. The door to... More

We stayed at the Captain Jefferd's Inn From May 6th through the 10th and it was a lovely stay. We originally had the Terrace room, which I was disappointed to find looked out onto the shared patio that everyone used and the doors looking out onto the patio were almost the only source of light so it was either been...

1. Great location — easy walk to the shops and restaurants of downtown Kennebunkport. 2. Great building — a wonderfully restored antique home transformed into a spotlessly clean and tremendously comfortable B&B environment. 3. Excellent service — everyone we encountered from the moment we walked in until the moment we walked out was friendly, welcoming and upbeat without being intrusive.... More

My husband and I stayed at the Captain Jefferds Inn for 2 nights to relax before my Maine Coast Marathon. I have to say that the atmosphere and surroundings are perfect for making you fall asleep, and I mean that in the best possible way.

What a beautiful facility and room.....walk every where in this gorgeous community The staff went beyond expectations in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable....the only slightly negative noticed by us and another couple was the complete lack of interaction by the innkeepers with the guest Definitely a return visit in store

It's great to GET AWAY from the craziness for awhile. CJI is a blessing, Great Customer Service, Beautiful rooms and grounds, Excellent Breakfasts, Historic Architecture, and right next to the town commons. If you want more excitement, downtown Kennebunkport is Just a short walk away.
