What guests think
At Breakwater Inn, travellers praise the scenic waterfront setting, with a quieter location a walk or short drive from downtown and beach, while feedback on rooms, cleanliness, and service quality varies across buildings and seasons.
Rooms range from spacious and comfortable to small or dated, with some lacking USB ports or phones and others affected by noisy heaters or AC. Cleanliness is mixed, with clean stays reported alongside stained carpets, worn furnishings, musty odors, and occasional maintenance issues. Facilities include free bikes, a gym and spa, but parts of the property lack elevators and periodic renovations or construction disrupt the experience. On-site dining is inconsistent—hours vary and breakfast is basic—so expect a peaceful base with some trade-offs in consistency.

The staff is polite and friendly. Our room was quiet and clean with a lovely view. A market across the street is a delight. Parking for the hotel is in back of where you check in. You can easily pull up to either place and unload then go park the car. The breakfast gives good options. Not a lot of places to sit. Easily would stay here again.

Make sure to ask for an updated room. A lot of renovations going on in property. Place is fine. About a 20 minute walk or 3 minute drive to shops and restaurants. Mabel’s and coffee shop directly across the street

Stay away from this place! I booked it as it looked like a beautiful place. We arrived at check in and had two large suitcases. The staff behind the counter says do you have a lot of luggage and we reply yes. She goes ahead and puts us in the other building where we had to walk up four flights of stairs with all of our luggage and no elevator! So rude. The room was very plain and not even a tv or phone. We had to go all the way down and to the other building with all of our luggage and they didn’t even help. One good amenity was the beautiful gym.

The hotel was completely under construction. Nothing was open. No restaurant, bar, just dust, lumber etc. This should have not been rented out in this condition, or at least they could have told us in advance.

Booked into a 3rd floor room but did not know it was all stairs. Lights in upper floor hallways and stairwells spotty. Entry from stairwell from hallway was very tight. Had to bend over to get through plus get luggage up. Lighting in the room limited to 2 small bedside lamps with no other lighting. Television faced the bed but obstructed view from left side of bed due to bedpost. Backyard was lovely, easy walk to town or bikes, air conditioning was excellent, beautiful views. Just confirm which floor you will be on and decide if stairs will work for you if staying in original inn.

While the staff was amazing and helpful for the most part. We still have not received our emailed receipt for our stay as they stated they would send via email. The staff is friendly and seem helpful, however, none of them seem to be able to look up reservations, and answer questions regarding them. Just went in circles. The facility itself was not well kept. Needs some tlc. Our bathroom was yuck, toilet barely flushed, shower was moldy in and around the base outside of the shower. Water pressure was terrible, shower drain seems to be draining extremely slow, carpets didn’t look very clean, ewe. Definitely need some updating and some paint. We did have massages when there and the spa was nice. The view was amazing. We’d like to return but surely not until some improvements have been made.

The location on Ocean Avenue close to colony Beach and the proximity to the water along with a large veranda with comfortable chairs made this a great place for our three day stay, They always available free Bicycles Was convenient We did not have room service the first day and had to ask for it on the second day and the carpet had a number of stains, which should’ve either been cleaned or replaced Property could use some tender, loving care, but it was certainly comfortably enough for our stay The price of the room is reasonable and the quality was acceptable, but this is not a high-end resort

Such a quaint and pretty facility within walking distance to downtown and historic sites. There was no elevator in the section of the hotel we stayed in so it was two narrow flights of stairs each time we came and went. Some halls, walls and carpets were quite soiled, but our room was good. Staff was always helpful and kind.

Dirty, rude staff, outdated hotels. We were in the building away from the office and there was no staff present the entire time we were there. A dead roach was by the staircase leading to the rooms for the 3 days we stayed. Not worth the price, definitely not how they advertise themselves.

Beautiful location and very clean. Bed was super comfy and had great sheets. Our room was very spaciuos, and I appreciated the white robes. The coffee downstairs was amazing. Minor complaints…barely worth mentioning…no place to plug in a ISB charging cord. Typically lamps or outlets will also have USB charging ports, but there were none. Also, it would be nice to have a small Continental breakfast. There are places to go in town or outside the hotel, but having options available inside would be a great addition.

The staff was the best part of our stay. While we had a few hiccups- they bent over backwards to fix things (especially the maintenance man and night front desk clerk). The room was a little lacking in coziness. Not having a phone in the room- odd. Premium channels on the tv would’ve been nice. Drinking glasses needed. Better pillows definitely and the couch needs replacing.

The view was amazing the staff was friendly. The breakfast had eggs but no salt and pepper. You stay in a separate building from the breakfast but there's a restaurant in building you stay in so why not set up there? Instead we had to walk over in the rain. The room smelled pretty bad which could be due to it being on the water which is fine but maybe some type of air fresheners would be a nice touch.

The room was dirty when we arrived and the lobby smelled like bathroom spray the entirety of our stay. The transition from the main lobby to the stairs had a giant wet spot/dirty stain that was unappealing. We tried to eat at the restaurant the first night we got there and there was no host or hostess to seat us. Turns out there was one woman working as the waitress, bartender, and hostess. The menu in-person was not the same menu online and we ended up going to another restaurant. The gym was nice, but couldn't work out because it felt like it was 100 degrees in there. I call the front desk to cancel our 2nd night because it was so bad and she didn't ask why we were unsatisfied and didn't offer us another room. She wouldn't refund us. We left early anyways because it was do dirty and unsanitary. Would like a refund for not being able to stay the second night. Terrible service.

Amazing location, views and amenities. Mabel's, just across the street, is incredibly delicious. Great shopping on site, and convenient to the bustling waterfront village. We got a little aggravated over the night clerk not being able to access the beverage/snack station due to apparently not having a key, but overall a phenomenal experience.

Our stay at the Breakwater Inn was great! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a very nice woman who gave us clear instructions on where to park, where our room was, as well as menus for both the restaurant across the street Mabel's, and the restaurant in the hotel. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the water with two adirondack chairs. The bartenders were so friendly and made great drinks. Others that were staying at the hotel were just as friendly. I couldn't speak more highly of our experience. It's only a 20 minute walk to the downtown area where the shops and restaurants are. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Would’ve been happy to find out, but there was no one there to check us in waited for over two hours trying to get a hold of somebody using the main number called Expedia. They tried as well. Very sad experience had to leave and go find another hotel at 9 o’clock at night.

Dirty, rude staff, outdated hotels. We were in the building away from the office and there was no staff present the entire time we were there. A dead roach was by the staircase leading to the rooms for the 3 days we stayed. Not worth the price, definitely not how they advertise themselves.

When we first checked in, we ended up with an attic room on 4th floor …stairs only. It was too much for me and husband. We went to front desk and explained it wasn’t for us….they immediately changed our room to another building with an elevator at no additional charge. They were so understanding. It turned out very well. Thank you to the staff @front desk!

Location
Waterfront setting with scenic views and a quieter feel than downtown. It’s a 15–20 minute walk or short drive to shops and beach, which some find convenient and others find a bit far with fewer nearby dining options at night.

The view from our room was stunning, and we were very happy with the location- peaceful & tranquil spot on the outskirts of town center, and only a short walk to town beach.

Property is very different from pictures. and a good 2 miles away from the main center which means you have limited food options.

Our stay at the Breakwater Inn was great! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a very nice woman who gave us clear instructions on where to park, where our room was, as well as menus for both the restaurant across the street Mabel's, and the restaurant in the hotel. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the water with two adirondack chairs. The bartenders were so friendly and made great drinks. Others that were staying at the hotel were just as friendly. I couldn't speak more highly of our experience. It's only a 20 minute walk to the downtown area where the shops and restaurants are. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

The bed was exceptionally comfortable and room large and nice. We loved that the hotel is away from the busy touristy area of Kennebunkport, but within easy walking distance. We loved the free bikes; we rode to see the Bush compound on Walker’s point.

The staff were very friendly especially the young lady working in the bar. The in is about a mile out of town so dining options were limited unless one is happy to drive out. The walk into town is no problem ( for us) through the day but a bit far on an unlit road. The room was very small however that was only an issue as we took all of our cases up ) 2 large one hand luggage).

We arrived a few weeks prior to the opening of the Summer season. Our rooms w/balconies were great! Property is being renovated & will be really nice when completed. Also be aware there is not an elevator & the stairs are steep & narrow. Great location to downtown

Dining
On-site restaurant and bar hours are inconsistent, with frequent off-season or early-week closures; when open, some praise the food and drinks. Breakfast is basic or limited, though nearby spots like Mabel’s offer alternatives.

The staff is polite and friendly. Our room was quiet and clean with a lovely view. A market across the street is a delight. Parking for the hotel is in back of where you check in. You can easily pull up to either place and unload then go park the car. The breakfast gives good options. Not a lot of places to sit. Easily would stay here again.

Beautiful location and very clean. Bed was super comfy and had great sheets. Our room was very spaciuos, and I appreciated the white robes. The coffee downstairs was amazing. Minor complaints…barely worth mentioning…no place to plug in a ISB charging cord. Typically lamps or outlets will also have USB charging ports, but there were none. Also, it would be nice to have a small Continental breakfast. There are places to go in town or outside the hotel, but having options available inside would be a great addition.

The hotel was completely under construction. Nothing was open. No restaurant, bar, just dust, lumber etc. This should have not been rented out in this condition, or at least they could have told us in advance.

The room was shabby- desperately in need of a deep clean and renovation. Stained lampshade, carpet stains, horrible old tile floor in the bathroom. The bar/restaurant was closed ( this was not communicated until we tried to go there). Where was the free breakfast? Closed for the season ☹️

I thought the Inn had recently been updated, but this was not so. Also very strange that their restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, since this is a resort area. Since we were there on a Monday and Tuesday there was no opportunity to even get a glass of wine and sit in the shade on the patio in the afternoon. Overall a disappointing experience.

Happy with our room and staff. Had drinks by the water and dinner in the restaurant. Very friendly and great food. Overall enjoyable. Description a little deceiving with the views. Pick a balcony, otherwise you are just getting a picture window. I picked up on it, but others in our group did not like their view.

It was clean but that's about it. Staff were not super friendly nor helpful. No milk for cereal for breakfast. Had to track down to even find anyone to ask about it. Staff were not knowledgeable about local restaurants. No chairs were outside to sit in and even if there were the area around the outside smelled like dead fish. Restaurant was no open at all while we were there. Just not what I expected for the price we paid. Sorry. But I would not stay here again.

Location and proximity to colony beach are excellent. Size of the room was pretty big as well. Not a ton of amenities on the property itself though. I guess the main pros of breakwater are size of room, and AC (which Colony doesnt have). Still pretty expensive to stay though...
