Cape Arundel Inn

Cape Arundel Inn began as Seacrest, a shingle-style summer cottage built in 1895 for a wealthy Ohio family, and it is now the only oceanfront inn and restaurant in Kennebunkport.

Kennebunkport Resort Collection reimagined it in 2013, about seven rooms in the main house and roughly 19 keys across the property, and John Calvin Stevens's Maine cottage vocabulary still reads from the road.

The Cape Arundel Inn overlooks the Atlantic at 208 Ocean Avenue in Kennebunkport, Maine, in a shingle-style summer 'cottage' built in 1895 and originally named Seacrest for a wealthy Ohio family. Its turreted, wood-shingled form is characteristic of late-19th-century New England seaside architecture.
The only oceanfront inn and restaurant in Kennebunkport, it was reimagined in 2013 by the Kennebunkport Resort Collection and now operates with its Ocean restaurant as part of KRC / EOS Hospitality, offering roughly 7 rooms in the main house and about 19 accommodations across the property.
