Great place to stay. Beautiful xeriscaping in front and sides with a covered porch to rock and read under. The room was small (#6) but it had everything we needed. The towels and shampoo/conditioner/shower gel were lovely; we had plenty of towels. I loved the keyless/cardless door locks to the home and room. In the main living room there were myriad K cup coffee’s including soy milk, half & half, and oat milk in the fridge. A different fridge was stocked with little bags of ice to use in the ice bucket available to take to the room. If you BYOB you can label and put in the fridge as well. There was a freezer to re-freeze ice packs that we brought in our cooler. They had instant oatmeal, honey, and sweeteners available. The inn is close to the bridges that you can walk across and get some delish BBQ at Ore Nelle’s. Sit outside and watch the sunset over the water. Lots of restaurants in the town of Kittery, a Juicery, breakfast places and a Laundrette. It was a nice little place to stay and it was very clean. The staff were super responsive and had lots of great tips on dining places in sights to see!

always lovely

I loved my stay at the Water Street Inn in Kittery, Maine. This charming boutique hotel blends historic character with modern comfort perfectly. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and clean. The location is ideal, right on the water with beautiful views and just a short walk to Portsmouth’s shops and restaurants. Check-in was seamless, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks available anytime. Overall, it’s peaceful, welcoming, and feels like a hidden gem. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay on the Maine coast.

The Water Street Inn is a quaint, quiet inn in Kittery, ME just a short scenic walk across the bridge to Portsmouth, NH. We had a very pleasant evening here on our drive from NYC to Portland, ME area.

Comfy spot!

Cute little spot that is just across the bridge from the fun part of Portsmouth. Unfortunately the weather wasn't nice for us, but if it was, you could certainly walk there. The room was well designed and my wife really appreciated how comfy the bed was.

This is the cutest inn we've ever visited! I must commend the owner for being very informative, and all the necessities are readily available. This place truly feels like a beautiful home. It was a bit uncomfortable at first due to the self-check-in process, and we had some trouble locating the heater. However, overall, it was a perfect stay!
