I always prefer mom and pop motels, but for some reason have never noticed the Fontenay Terrace in 45 years of Maine trips. As with almost all of the best of these types of accomodations, the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the furnishings were dated but not beaten up. Room rates seem reasonable considering the location, which... More

We had a wonderful extended weekend at the Fontennay Terrace, from the warm welcome to the heartfelt goodbyes! The room was warm and comfortable with so many extra touches...a lit Christmas tree in the room when we arrived, a beautiful live poinsettia plant in the window, home made cookies in a china plate on our table, and wonderful hospitality from...

We enjoyed our stay and were made so very welcome. The room was large and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect - quiet and relaxing but close to all the amenities. Ideal for mature couples.

This was our second time at this property. Wonderful location. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and you can't beat the price. We will definitely come back. Owners are very nice and friendly. Facility is a few short steps away from the ocean. Great quality at a great price = great value. Quiet, peaceful and a better deal than... More

This is our 6th year of returning to the Fontenay Terrace Motel. This is a clean comfortable independent motel that is consistent in all categories.Although this may not be the best choice for families with young children or infants due to having no pool, playground etc, it is an excellent choice for couples. It is comfortable and quiet. We are... More

Once again, a restful, peaceful and inspiring trip to the Fontenay Terrace. It proves itself a gem each time I go, and as always, the Fontenay offers clean, comfortable and accomodating rooms. Although, to it's advantage, it is out of the way of all the hustle and bustle, it is only a short walk to the village for shopping, restaurants,... More

I've stayed at four other lodgings in Kennebunkport over the last 20 years and Fontenay Terrace has become my favorite. It's far enough from Dock Square so you're away from the hustle and bustle of those on bus tours, but close enough that you can walk there for a meal, whale watching, or shopping. In the other direction is the... More

This is a perfect place to stay in Kennebunkport. It is close enough to walk to town and only a block from the beach. We were lucky enough to get room number 8 which has a picture window overlooking the inlet. I did not see the other rooms, but we were glad to spend a little extra to have the... More

The Fontenay Terrace is very high on our list of places to stay in Kennebunkport. We have been staying there over more than a decade when we travel to Maine and we have never been disappointed. The rooms are very clean and great care is given to make the stay just perfect. The Fontenay Terrace is in a most convenient... More

Clean private little gem! Within walking distance to town and the ocean. We will definitely return! Grounds are imaculate and there are two friendly little felines to greet you. Owners Paula and David Reid are wonderful hosts!
