Rhumb Line Resort, Kennebunkport, Maine

Article and photo by Eric H.

The stunningly beautiful southern Maine oceanside town of Kennebunkport isn't always the center of affordable Maine vacationing. With grand old inns and bed and breakfasts and many high-end restaurants, boutiques and galleries, Kennebunkport has a grand rocky Maine coast sheen, many times, meant for special getaways with a hefty price tag.

Like any other well-to-do vacation spot, however, Kennebunkport does have some budget-friendly travel elements.  For lodging, it's hard to beat the value of the Rhumb Line Resort.  More of a very nice looking motel with great features than a true resort, the Rhumb Line possesses all the lodging bells and whistles that one would seek in a budgeted vacation -- spacious guest rooms, suites with kitchenettes, air conditioning,cable television, Wireless Internet Access, direct dial phones and small refrigerators in every room.  But wait, there's more -- a cozy fireplaced lobby, free continental breakfast in a friendly lower-level dining room, indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs, a fitness center, a summer poolside outdoor restaurant called the Admiral's Table (with lobster bakes!) and attractively landscaped grounds nestled within a four-acre wooded setting. While not directly on the Maine coast, the Rhumb Line resort is a very short drive to the spectacular Maine coast and its beaches. The appealing, quaint downtown Kennebunkport with its nice mix of shops and restaurants is also just a few's minutes away by car. Fortunately, the in-town Kennebunkport trolley stops in front of the Rhumb Line to bring you to all the downtown attractions.

The Rhumb Line is really a terrific family lodging choice, as well as an informal weekend getaway for couples. The prices are well below the expensive norm for this area (we recently stayed off-season for under $100 a night) -- a wonderful incentive to travel to one of Maine's truly classic coastal towns during a tough economy.
