Had a rough start to our booking, when 2 days before arriving we were called and said our room had flooded due to a pipe burst, and they had to cancel our reservation. However, after working through Expedia the Inn found us a replacement room. Checking in was a bit confusing, as the hotel is not clearly marked. There is a small awning that says Breakwater, but with shops on the ground floor we thought that was referencing the shopping plaza, and not where to go to check in. But alas, after circling several times we walked in and found someone. It was a beautiful location, and walkable to downtown Kennebunkport with a lot of shopping and dining options.

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.

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.

Under Construction

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.

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
