Stripers Waterside Restaurant serves local seafood with river views, while the spa facility offers four treatment rooms and certified therapists. The property includes a comprehensive fitness center with treadmills, stationary bikes, and strength training equipment. Guest rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and Gilchrist & Soames bath amenities, with some units offering water views and private porches. The Waterside Cottage provides a kitchen and Jacuzzi tub. Located at 127 Ocean Avenue, The Breakwater Inn sits mere steps from Petite Arundel Beach and 1 mile from Dock Square's boutiques and galleries.
Pros

On-site spa with four private treatment rooms and relaxation lounge
Complimentary bikes available for local exploration
Contemporary fitness center overlooks the working harbor
Cons

“The Breakwater Inn presents well-appointed rooms, many with striking water views, and a location that balances quietude with walkable access to Kennebunkport's attractions. Staff, like Brian and Natasha, are noted for their attentive and welcoming service, contributing to a comfortable stay. My exploration of guest impressions suggests this is a reliably pleasant choice for a coastal getaway.”
