A Maid of Honor HQ Guide
Shingled cottages, blueberry pie, and oyster lunch on Goose Rocks
Kennebunkport is the bachelorette weekend that reads like a Nancy Meyers set. Pineapple-ketch sail at sunset, Tides Beach Club oyster lunch with the Atlantic at your feet, blueberry-pie class in the afternoon, Hidden Pond spa the next morning, a Cape Porpoise cottage with roses on the trellis — linen everything.
Three full weekends at three price points in about 60 seconds. Trip terms sheet included.
