We had a wonderful time. The views were spectacular. Room was a nice size and very clean. The only this I advise is if you have trouble climbing stairs please ask for the first floor rooms. Had to carry our heavy luggage up 2 flights of stairs. But the view from the upper floors is great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room and view were great. Communication about how to check in was wrong and confusing. There was no previous mention that our room was on the 3rd floor with no elevator. Also, Hotels.com said I would pay half the day of booking and the remaining when I checked in. My credit card was charged the 2nd half of the payment 2 days after booking. The hotel said it was their policy to change the full price 15 days before the check in date so incorrect info from Hotels.com.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Our view from our room was of the harbor, with moored lobster boats and waves breaking in the distance. The staff were friendly, warm, and accommodating. If you are looking for a romantic, iconic Kennebunkport hotel, this is it.

We had a lovely stay here, the view was gorgeous and getting to sit outside with a cup of coffee looking out onto the water was special. It’s very kid friendly - our son was able to run around watching boats, throwing rocks, looking for shells on the waterfront. It’s simple, beautiful, clean with great everything you could want.

Great stay

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.

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.
