Fodor's Expert Review The Nonantum Resort

95 Ocean Ave., Kennebunkport, Maine, 04046, USA

Hands down the most family-friendly resort in the Kennebunks, this place is a dream for parents who want to have a quality family vacation without stress. Right on the water, the historic inn has a sweeping lawn with picnic tables and fire pits. There's also the seasonal Camp Nonantum, a kid-centric spot on the lawn with activities all summer long, from knot-tying to crabbing (bookable in advance)—so parents can enjoy the pool or simply have a relaxing afternoon.

PROS

  • comfortable beds from local Portland Mattress Makers
  • seasonal, Maine-centric childrens' activities
  • friendly, service-oriented staff

CONS

  • wedding events add to bustle
  • heavy visitor traffic
  • no indoor pool
