Pamela F.

This hotel was so charming. The decor had a classic Maine maritime feel. The views to the Kennebunk River were breathtaking. The service was wonderful. It was exactly what I envisioned for our Maine seashore adventure.

View from our room

My fiance and I wanted a weekend getaway. I was so happy to find this place. They had a deal that was buy one room and get the second night half off. We booked a room with a Waterview in the inn area. The views are beautiful! If you book a room here I would say to find a room with a view. Especially if there are discounts. For the price, it was under 200$ a night. April is definitely a good time to check out this area. Also, our room was clean. Also! We splurged and got a massage and facial at the spa. I got a facial and was soooo happy. My fiance got a massage. Definitely check them out. Overall, we are both happy and will visit again.

Hugely Disappointing..... Hopefully this review will help you avoid making the same mistake I made. I was excited for a last minute getaway to Maine and saw the incredible pictures of the Breakwater Inn on their website. It looked like this amazing hotel that would be the perfect place for a getaway for my boyfriend and I and my sister who was joining us. Do not believe anything you see on their website....it's a dingy hotel and you'll be sorely disappointed if you're expecting what you see on their website. In addition, I was booking this the day before so called to ensure we could get a room with two beds as there were three of us. The person on the phone, Chuck, told me there were two queen beds and even described the property as a "resort".....both very untrue. We got there and was checked in and were handed keys to the room and arrived to a room with only 1 bed. This was not at all what I booked. I specifically called the day prior to ensure there were two beds and I was told there were two queen beds. The only good thing was they did give us another room to make up for their error but I was still paying $350 for a hotel that looks like it should be no more than $99/night. The hotel itself is so severely outdated that every ounce of it seems dirty. I'm not sure how you can ever clean a carpeted bathroom so wouldn't even go in there without shoes on. I didn't even shower there because I figured it was only one night and I would be better off showering at home where at least I know it was clean. The bed, sheets, and pillows were just as bad as the room itself. Could not wait to get out of here in the morning and was SO happy I only had to stay for one night. I was so embarrassed that I chose this hotel for our little getaway and was apologizing to my group the entire time for believing what was on their website and choosing this hotel. For charging close to $350 for one night, this place is a total scam. Do not believe what you read online. My stomach dropped when I saw the sign on my drive in because I was sure this could NOT be the place I booked. The place I booked was a beautiful hotel on the water in Maine...this is NOT what you think it is so beware. Here are some pictures of what it really looks like...

The owner, Mike,…read moreclearly understands hospitality on another level--he remembers the name of every single guest and you can tell he truly cares about the happiness of all guests during their stay. He gives a thorough overview of the inn when you arrive and always has great recommendations. I genuinely don't know if he sleeps at night because he's there to make you breakfast before 8:30am and is around at 10pm keeping the tea kettle hot for you. The rooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable, and the daily breakfast is generous and delicious. We also loved the thoughtful extras: a cozy tea bar, complimentary bikes, beach towels, and even Tommy Bahama chairs for the beach. Those little touches made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Location is great--close to a small beach and also the town. There are several restaurants even closer you can walk to as well. If you're looking for a place in Kennebunkport that truly goes above and beyond, the Harbor Inn is it.

Plus, it was a bit noisy at 7am -I could hear the people on the floor above me using the bathroom and creaking floors when they walked; I could also hear them putting out breakfast in the sunroom below with the clanging of the dishes and the doors closing. If you prefer to stay at a bed-and-breakfast, then this might be a good place for you. The house was nicely furnished; my Junior suite was clean and fairly comfortable (although for some odd reason, the furniture was unusually low to the ground), and it was interesting from a historical perspective. It just really wasn't my style. One last FYI if you decide to stay there - there's no yard or street signage at any of the houses except the Nathaniel Lord Mansion - I drove around in circles looking for the Jefferds house.....

We booked the Berwick Room which was on the first floor. It is a small and perfect room for 2 with a 4-poster high bed and of course, a step-stool! Extremely clean and comfortable with multiple pillow offerings and quality bedding. The bathroom was well-equipped with a walk-in shower. If you're an early riser and love coffee or tea, there is a Keurig in the dining area. For breakfast, we walked to the dining area just before 9 a.m. to beautifully set tables and piano music playing in the background. Colorful paintings grace the walls and many windows overlooking the well-maintained grounds. Right away, you'll know that quality ingredients are used in preparing your breakfast such as fresh juices, fruits, warm baked goods, tasty syrups and quality sausage or bacon. It's a 3-course breakfast! It is within walking distance to the many stores in Kennebunkport. If you choose to just sit and relax on the premises, you'll see at the entrance of the house, a large basket full of blankets for your comfort should you want to sit outside on their porch and there may be a chill in the air. They have a small gift shop just off the dining area that offers many items you may like to bring to your room. Just sign the sheet and it'll be added to your check-out. Julianna and Lars greet you with smiles and you'll feel their warm welcome. We are so pleased we chose the 1802 House for our getaway and you better believe, we will be back!

I am very curious at the type of training they get but they are FANTASTIC. Our waiter Tristan was great, very patient, went over to explain every dish and how it was prepared. Coffee and tea was served within 2 minutes, followed by complimentary dishes from the kitchen. We ordered three dishes: skillet breakfast, fluffy pancakes and lobster with polenta (sorry, forgot the exact name). OMG. Those pancakes were definitely fluffy and the chef didn't skimp on chocolate chips. The skillet breakfast was savory, nutritious, side salad was a nice touch. My husband loved his polenta with lobsters, he was in the carboloading mood that day.

She was full of recommendations (i.e. Goose Rocks Beach) and was friendly and kind without being overbearing. We showed up a bit late and the key was left in a coded lock box for us. The room was compact, but fine for my husband and I for our 2 night stay. We knew beforehand that breakfast would be boxed for us and that was fine. I was happy that they provided yogurt was Chobani and actually had some protein in it (unlike most continental breakfasts that are a carb party). We rented bikes and kayaks during our stay. It was great that they had these for us to utilize. The bikes should be covered during storage, however. They were a bit rusty. This was the priciest place that we stayed during our 7 night trip, but I wouldn't consider it the best. After our stay, I do feel that our stay should not have cost us so much.
