Climb under crisp Frette sheets at the Captain Fairfield Inn (from $225; from $185 after November 1), whose young owners have created a rarity in these parts: a contemporary, luxe bed-and-breakfast with flat-screen TVs and a 24-hour guest pantry. Take the five-minute walk to Dock Square (the center of Kennebunkport) or the ten-minute stroll to the ocean, or just laze away on the private porch of the Library Room.
Choose from either the couple’s suites or the family-ready cottages at the Maine Stay Inn (from $229; from $129 after October 16). If you’re staying in the latter, avoid awkward communal-table conversations by having your breakfast—a warm apple-cranberry crisp; almond-crusted French toast with Maine maple syrup—delivered to your door.
In what could be an industry first, the quirky Colony Hotel (from $99) gives its main-house guests wireless Internet access but no TVs. Not that you really need either. The Georgian-style inn is right on the Atlantic and looks over a private beach. With ocean temps dipping, take a midnight plunge in the heated saltwater pool.
