Our coastal Maine Bed and Breakfast is one of Kennebunkport's finest independent, owner operated, historic Inns. We offer understated, casual luxury and modern comforts coupled with traditional New England charm. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood next to the 15th fairway of the Cape Arundel Golf Club, we are only a short stroll from bustling Dock Square's shops, restaurants and art galleries. Our five guest rooms are well appointed with queen size beds and private bathrooms. Many have fireplaces (seasonal) and there are spa tubs in select rooms. For that extra special accommodation, our one bedroom suite is equipped with a king sized bed, two person walk in shower, oversize spa tub, fireplace, refrigerator and in-room coffee maker. A three course breakfast is prepared fresh from scratch each morning using local and organic ingredients. Coffee and hot drinks are available 24 hours a day in our dining room . 1802 House is an ideal destination for relaxation and as a base to explore everything the south coast of Maine has to offer.
This is a lovely and cozy inn, nestled on a quiet street but still within walking distance of downtown Kennebunkport. Breakfast each morning was delicious (thank you Lars!). The Innkeeper, Julianna, was always accommodating to our needs. She is definitely a people person who loves what she does. We had a wonderful stay and return every year. This inn is highly recommended!

Very comfortable and quiet - and spotlessly clean - B&B. Julianna is an extremely kind host and she makes all her guests feel welcome and appreciated. Delicious breakfast in the morning. Easy walk to town, which we greatly appreciated as Kennebunkport can get crowded!

Wonderful, historic home. Clean and inviting. Breakfasts were amazing and Julianna is a treat to talk to. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with a main entry sitting area to read or the dining area to sit and play a game of cards after dinner. Overall a great time and a great experience.

We stayed in the large suite upstairs. roomy, private balcony, comfortable room. Reasonable prices. The innkeeper is an awesome lady, friendly goes out of her way to accommodate you. I'm type 2, and they modified my breakfast every day! I didn't ask for it, in fact told them I was fine, I'd eat whatever they put in front of me, but they insisted. It's a bit of a hike into town, walkable, but cars and bikes are better options. Half way through our stay we found an Uber-like company, that helped a lot. Will stay here again.

No one there to greet us. Door locked and phone number posted when we arrived. Not what you would call welcoming. Garden was a mess. Front porch was dingy, and the outdoor furniture looked like it hadn’t been used for months. In fairness, we didn’t go inside. But the disrepair outside was enough to dissuade us from venturing further. It’s about a mile from town. Wouldn’t call it an easy walk. When we called later to air our concerns, got many explanations and excuses. We ended up finding other accommodations. No refund offered. Definitely not what is represented online.

Our recent visit to the 1802 house was no less than awesome. My husband ere celebrating our 30th anniversary. We actually stayed at the 1802 House 32 years ago the weekend we were engaged. Juliana was an amazing host and the daily breakfast was delicious!

This is a truly beautiful New England Bed and Breakfast with fabulous host. The rooms throughout are delightful and the breakfast in the morning was delicious and varied. A perfect location, being a short walk from the centre of Kennebunkport.

Beautiful rooms that are very comfortable, scrumptious 3-course breakfasts, and a short, easy walk to town with fun shops, wonderful meals, and interesting things to do. We enjoyed our first visit to Maine and loved our stay at the 1802 Inn. Innkeeper Julianna made it even more special by recommending fantastic restaurants, places to see and things to do. We look forward to staying there again to see this area in another season.
