At the point where the Kennebunk River feeds into the Atlantic Ocean — a captivating Kennebunkport hotel sits directly on the water — the Breakwater Inn. One of the most beautiful hotels in Kennebunkport Maine, our original 1880’s cottage architecture evokes the soothing tranquility of a bygone era — where the allure of a good book or a glass of wine enjoyed in an Adirondack chair by the water never goes out of style.
Begin your morning with complimentary coffee or tea or head out to our waterfront lawn and beach to soak in the unrivaled views of the cove as the day begins.
For breakfast or a quick bite, explore several local favorites just a brief stroll away including: Mabel’s Pantry – our onsite breakfast restaurant.
For your relaxing Maine stay, choose from accommodations in our Harborview Building, Oceanview building and private waterfront cottage. Thoughtfully designed with elegant, tasteful interiors for ultimate comfort.
Our beloved in-house restaurant featuring classic seafood, steaks and a full bar. Enjoy dinner and a drink on our large patio overlooking the water as the golden hour winds down the evening.
Our boutique hotel in Kennebunkport Maine is set by the Kennebunk River on a charming, quiet street about one mile from downtown Kennebunkport.

Or for a more scenic walk, head away from town to follow Parsons Way as it trails Ocean Avenue along the craggy shoreline of the Atlantic.
