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!

Enjoyed our stay. Room was clean, tidy and quiet. Bathroom fan was quite noisy when used. Wasn't expecting a room at the top floor but not a problem. Did not see the staff (hence the average rating) but all amenities were available. May be back at a future date and try a different room.
