At the point where the Kennebunk River feeds into the Atlantic Ocean a captivating hotel sits directly on the water — The Breakwater Inn. One of Kennebunkport Maine’s oldest inns, 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.
The Breakwater Inn blends the intimacy of a coastal Maine bed and breakfast with all the amenities of Kennebunkport’s top luxury boutique hotels.
Inn Rooms (stair access only) combine classic nautical elegance and water views with modern comfort. Other rooms overlook the Kennebunk River. The spacious River Top Cottage features a deep soaking whirlpool and views of yachts and boats as they glide out to sea.
Our onsite restaurant, Stripers Waterside Restaurant—acclaimed as one of the best dining experiences in Maine—is a favorite of our hotel guests and Kennebunkport residents alike. Our locally sourced menu features the freshest Maine seafood, while our location offers beautiful waterfront views.
Our hotel is set by the Kennebunk River on a charming, quiet street about two miles from downtown Kennebunkport. Guests love strolling into town to explore the quaint cafés, art galleries and upscale boutiques of Dock Square. 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.
