Probably won’t stay again
Pros:

Very close to everything

Cons:

The breakfast was nonexistent on my first morning there. Had to even ask to get plates and tables cleaned. I chose to go off property to get breakfast.

Breakfast was the one thing that could use improvement in my opinion! Plates were out 2/3 days as were muffins and then brought out cold. Loved the location , flowers, service to the rooms daily!! Heated pool was great too!

Cons:

We enjoyed our stay and would love return in the near future.
Pros:

All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Nice and clean. Quaint location, wish the weather was nicer so we could have enjoyed the pool.

Cons:

The beds were uncomfortable. Charger stations, bathtubs, rust on the floor, under the table, and the countertops could use a little updating, but definitely not a deal breaker.

Cute lodge in a scenic location
Pros:

The setting is beautiful, and the room was spacious and nicely decorated. The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The lodge is conveniently located but still private.

Cons:

Some of the window coverings were difficult to use. Parking could be an issue for the building I stayed in when they are at full capacity.

Awesome location and the activities offered were great!
Pros:

The location was perfect, if you have a car it is about a minute drive from downtown Kennebunkport. They do offer free rental bikes, so it's a quick ride into town. I really liked all the free activities included in the stay, along with free breakfast. I really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge on the Cove!

Cons:

The only thing I would improve, is our sink. The drain was very slow.

Pros:

Cute property, nice location.

Cons:

Room smelled like a pool. Entry door was cute but not practical because you can’t pull the curtain closed when you leave the property- and I don’t love having all my belongings on display. I didn’t care that all the empty rooms were lit and visible at night because it made it more obvious which ones were occupied.

Nice place to stay with children
Pros:

The location, away from main coastal road and town center yet close. The bikes lent by the hotel made it even closer and great to explore local beaches.
The room was spacious and pleasant.

Cons:

Breakfast was that of a cheap highway-side motel : it is a motel, but not cheap and we expected better. There was no bread, only industrial cake in plastic wrapper, and only disposable paper plates and cups and plastic cutlery.

I would highly recommend this property.
Pros:

The property was adorable. Perfect for a pet friendly, romantic couples get away. They left a deck box full of s’mores kits to make at the gas fire pits by the water. Close to Kittery shopping and kennebunkport town shops.
