    This BNB was very clean and the owner was kind and helpful. The reason for my lower rating is the front stairs are dangerous, I worried about my older mom using them, and while everyone else had a great bed, ours was like a box, it was terrible. Also we stayed upstairs and with the slanted ceilings the room was small.andbi banged my head several times.

    Quiet in spite of having the small room by the front door. Host and guests very respectful. Excellent breakfast with a number of options to choose from. Convenient location to the downtown shops. Host friendly and helpful.

    Very personable and accommodating owner, Connie. She went above-and-beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Great location: can walk to restaurants, LL Bean, and dare I say, Starbuck’s!

    The location was a deal for what we wanted to do. The breakfast was delicious. Connie was a very gracious hostess. The lock on the front door needs adjusting.

    The Candlebay Inn was a great stay! Staff was wonderful and the place was super cute and clean.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    The location was excellent, just a short walk into town. Connie was delightful and the perfect host. The room was large and the bed comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good although we don't think that we will ever come to terms with sweet and savoury items on the same plate but that is just our taste! nNothing, everything was fine.
