Breakwater Inn Kennebunkport Reopens July 1, 2025 Following Extensive Renovation

Breakwater Inn, one of Kennebunkport's historic and most beloved ocean-view hotels, announces its highly anticipated reopening on July 1, 2025 following a complete renovation of its harborside guest rooms and the debut of a brand-new restaurant and bars. The project was executed by the same creators of wildly popular Maine establishments Mabel's Lobster Claw, Robert's Maine Grill, Bob's Clam Shack, and The Maine Catch, which are frequented by Martha Stewart, Seth Rogen, and countless other celebrities. Located at the picturesque point where the Kennebunk River feeds into the Atlantic Ocean, the boutique hotel seamlessly blends its original 1880s cottage architecture with contemporary comfort and style. The renovation, with interior design by Christina Hawkes of esteemed local firm Hurlbutt Designs, has refreshed each guestroom in the 15-unit Harbor Building while carefully preserving the property's historic charm and maritime character. The original Inn Building, featuring 20 spacious waterfront guest rooms, most with private decks, has also been refreshed and continues to offer guests an authentic glimpse into Maine's coastal heritage.
