The total ending cost to guests remains the same as before. :) Welcome to The Nest! We offer a beautiful private studio suite in Kennebunk, Maine! We are half a mile from downtown Kennebunk Village and less than 15 minutes to Kennebunkport and local beaches! A keyless entry makes check-in a breeze!
