I have been vacationing in the Kennebunkport area nearly every summer for most of my 48 years.
Started out as a toddler, when my parents first began renting beach houses for a week or two in Biddeford Pool/Fortunes Rocks (and one VERY cold and ROCKY BEACHED week, in Owl's Head, remembered only for LEAVING EARLY! I think I was only 5 or so at the time!).
I must say this was THE best place I have ever stayed in the area, and the breakfasts ARE indeed awesome! And the best part for me is that every day, no matter what, a fruit breakfast is featured! (MY FAVORITE!)
I went with my friend Peggy (I had originally scheduled this for myself, but when she mentioned she wanted to go, I said "No Problem"!), and despite that we had to run from the village back to the Inn to escape a thunder/lightening storm on Sunday, that was the ONLY dim moment of the whole trip.
We even checked in on Friday the 13th, and it was anything but unlucky! (Although when we checked out on the 16th, luck was NOT with us, and 4 bottles of Shipyard Export went crashing to the middle of the sidewalk out of the bottom of the carrier! After all the rain/humidity, must be the glue just could not hold any longer!)
Wish we could have stayed MUCH longer, and definitely plan on a return trip!!!
Hurray for Dan and Tony!!!! Plan on coming back again!

Kennebunkport would not hold the same enchantment for us if we did not have the Green Heron Inn to go to for our stay. Dan and Tony the innkeepers always give a warm welcome to their guests. The rooms are very homely and very comfortable but the biggest surprise for us was the excellent breakfast. The food is of a very high standard and home cooked, even the snacks and nibbles which are put out for the guests during the day are home-baked. The proof of the excellence of the Green Heron is that many of their guests return again and again knowing that the service will always be first class.

My husband booked a long weekend at the Green Heron Inn for our one-year wedding anniversary, and we had such a wonderful time!! Dan and Tony, the innkeepers, were so warm and welcoming (which was so nice for us, because we've only had one prior experience at a B&B, also in Kennebunkport, which was a much more impersonal experience). They made us feel right at home at their charming inn and were gracious in answering any questions we had, but were also very respectful of our privacy (which we had sometimes worried about with the whole B&B concept - at least before finding the Green Heron Inn!).

I loved our room - it was charming, clean and comfortable (the whole inn was that way), but all without a stuffy feel. We had a great little deck with a cast iron table and two chairs, as well as access to their lawn and chairs, which both have the beautiful view of the inlet and little bridge. We got to sit together and just take in the surroundings, watching the various types of birds frolicking in and around the inlet and with the sun and breeze on our faces. It's hard to put words to that type of experience, but it was so wonderful and relaxing.

The breakfasts, made by Tony, were oh-so-yummy. We had these awesome, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits with maple and/or brown sugar....Those were soooo good, I could have had 5! And the pumpkin pancakes were out of this world! Each afternoon, they had fresh baked goodies available for the guests - including an awesome banana cake with vanilla frosting, macaroons and all sorts of soft, warm cookies, as well as tea and coffee, which were pretty much always available! Yummy!

The breakfast/dining room also has a whole wall of windows, overlooking the inlet view, which we totally took advantage of at each breakfast sitting.

The inn itself is within walking distance to the ocean and also to all the shops in town. It is in a great location, and everything around us was just so beautiful!

Dan and Tony took time to talk with us and answer all our questions about the types of birds, the history of the inn, and restaurants in the area. They are both very sweet and excellent hosts, and just made us feel so comfortable and welcome at the Green Heron Inn and in Kennebunkport.

I almost forgot! - My husband and I had forgotten to empty a whole drawer of our belongings, and didn't realize until we arrived at our home (almost 3 hrs away)! My husband called the Green Heron right away (was a Saturday evening) and Dan answered and checked the drawer in the room as they were talking and assured us that he would ship our items promptly, which he did! They arrived within the next couple of days, and we felt so silly and embarrassed for leaving our things, but Dan and Tony were so helpful and understanding of the whole situation. That was so, so nice of them.

We will definitely, without a doubt, be staying at the Green Heron Inn again, and I can't wait 'til our next visit!!!

We’ve joyfully stayed at the Green Heron Inn twice a year over the past several years, Having just returned home from four nights here last week, I am constantly delighted with each new experience. As a business consultant who travels all over the US and internationally, I so welcome the opportunity to travel by car for a change to relax and enjoy a casual, friendly environment.

I continue to be amazed by the number of shop owners throughout Kennebunkport who ask where we are staying and then express their wish that they, too, could still have a delicious breakfast at the Inn. Breakfast is now open only to guests instead of to the general public, so we as guests are always the top priority. I feel so privileged to enjoy Creme Brulee French Toast with raspberry sauce (best breakfast I've EVER eaten), excellent blueberry pancakes, and lots of other delicious, creative breakfast specials. The homemade snacks, lemonade, and other delectables always draw us back to the dining room late afternoon to savor the newest special treat for guests.

Dan and Tony, the owners, are friendly and welcoming. They make each breakfast at our own table for two a wonderful way to start the day. They are fun, sensitive to needs, dog friendly, customer service oriented, and a joy to be around while on vacation. No request or need is ever a problem. We enjoy the view outside of watching the friendly hummingbirds dash around the many feeders and seeing the green heron land on the pond as we enjoy our breakfast each morning.

While the Inn is simple in its décor, it is most welcoming and my favorite home away from home. The Green Heron is conveniently located for lovely walks and also provides easy two-minute access to town for lunch, a stroll, browsing, or serious shopping, while always ensuring total peace and tranquility upon our return. If you don’t stop here, you’ve missed a very special experience as part of your vacation. We are already eager to return!
