It is officially springtime in Kennebunkport, which means it’s time to plan your summer vacation to the Maine Coast.
While there might be a little snow remaining on the ground, the trees are beginning to show signs of buds, and that means the tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths are not far behind.
So summer is surely on its way, and getting a jump on the game by planning for your summer vacation means more enjoyment and less stress later!
So here are the 3 important things to consider when planning your summer getaway to Kennebunkport Maine:

- When will you travel? July and August are prime time in Kennebunkport, because of the warm temperatures, longer daylight hours, and calmer waters on the coast. But both June and September are incredible months to visit the Maine Coast. June is ideal if you are more into sand than surf because the water is still a little chilly, while September boasts the warmest water temperatures and fewer families visiting the area. The Kennebunkport Festival kicks off summer officially during the first week of June, followed shortly thereafter with the LAUNCH! Festival, which celebrates the seafood and seafaring traditions of the area. Best of all our Early Summer Special starts at just $169 per night!
- But do you travel midweek or weekend? And how long should you stay? Midweek visits tend to feel a little more laid back than weekend ones, but time away from work can be harder to snag than a quick weekend escape. Often weekend trips can feel a bit to short to really relax and enjoy all that the Kennebunkport Maine area has to offer. Can’t sneak away for a whole week? Extend your weekend by a day or two on each end, and you’ll return home feeling significantly more recharged. Plus, more there will be fewer cars on the road if you travel on Monday or Thursday instead!
- What kind of experience are you looking for? Are you looking to celebrate an anniversary or special occasion? Or are you anxious to check out all of the beauty of the Maine Coast? Is this an R&R trip or a romantic getaway? Or both? Whatever your answer, the Maine Stay Inn can help craft your ideal experience, starting with the perfect room or suite for your trip. The concierge staff can assist with selecting ideal restaurants and making reservations or planning day trips and daily itineraries.
Now that March is drawing to a close and spring is upon us, it is the perfect time to plan your summer vacation to Kennebunkport Maine!
