Felt like home with nice chairs on front porch, and coffee , water, fridge accessible. Although there were other guests, we felt like we were the only ones there (quiet). Also, just a beautiful property and walkable to Portsmouth for the Halloween parade. Loved our stay!

We had an excellent stay at The Water Street Inn. The location is amazing to walk across the 2 bridges into Portsmouth, or into the small area in Kittery for restaurants and bakery. The inn has everything you will need from snacks, coffee, tea, and water. It was obvious the owners pay attention to detail and take pride in their property. When a phone charger was mistakenly left behind in the room it was no problem to reach out and they found it and we arranged to have it sent to us. Would recommend The Water Street Inn!

Quaint older inn. Great communication for check in and stay. Fantastic for a weekend couples stay. Highly recommend breakfast at Lil's Cafe and outdoor casual dinner at the Buoy Shack, both within walking distance. Kittery is lovely.

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.

Stayed in one of the attic rooms and would recommend but not to very tall people as the sloped wall can get in the way. Overall fantastic stay, staff were helpful and free tea/coffee and snacks were very handy. Parking is easy and very walkable into Portsmouth, 15ish minutes across the bridge. Would recommend and stay again.

It was a unique experience. The Inn is an old house and our room was in the attic - spacious and a view of the harbor.
