We have come to the Breakers the first week of May for the last 10 years. Built in 1900, it is a classic New England Inn. Unpretentious, it sits almost right on the ocean, so you go to sleep every night with the sound of the waves. The views are inspiring and the rooms are simple and comfortable. The second... More

The Breakers is a wonderful hidden gem on the Maine coast, located in the cottage community of Higgins Beach in Scarborough. Located across the street from the ocean - the views are spectacular, the breakfasts are very good and the rooms are very comfortable. A true Maine coast Inn. If you are looking for rustic pleasure on the Maine coast... More

We stay here every summer with my wife and her family. My wife's Grandparents have been coming here for 40+ years and 2012 marked our 12th consecutive year coming as a couple and now with our kids. We love Higgins Beach and the residential feel that allows us to let our kids play with little worry. The Breakers Inn and... More

I stayed at the Breakers inn Sept 2012. I absolutely loved this place. I had the best room at the Inn. Rodney the owner makes outstanding breakfest. I would get up every morning and would walk on the beach, watch the surfers, and i met some really nice folks. I would highly recommend The Breakers Inn.

The Breakers Inn is so relaxing, excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful views. I love it. I wish I could spend my whole summer there. Just looking out the windows and seeing the ocean is so peaceful.I look forward to going back as soon as I leave!

Last week marked my 31st year spending a perfect (no matter what the weather) summer week at The Breakers and Higgins Beach. I first brought my husband of 27 years when we were dating. My 24-year-old daughter spent her first week at The Breakers when she was one month old, and she promises that someday she'll bring her family. It's... More

This is the greatest B & B off the beaten path yet right on the ocean. Lovely rooms (I've stayed in most of them), the best food and service, and the kindest owners. This is my favorite place to which to escape.

Family owned and operated. Rodny and his staff make you feel right at home. We have been coming here for 20 years and have always enjoyed the food(breakfast), people, accommodations and the relaxed atmosphere. Make your reservations early for prime season, you'll be glad you did.

Frustrated by staying at Highway Chains, i awoke one morning and drove to water. Found Higgins Beach-perhaps the most beautiful beach I have ever seen-and walked into this beachfront 120 year old property to discover one room had become available 15 mins earlier. The smallest worst room at the inn and we loved it. A grand old 14 bedroom all... More

My husband and I have a 6 month old daughter, and with her being our first child we decided we wanted to start a new family tradition of going to Maine every summer. Last summer, while still pregnant, we walked Higgins Beach and looked up at The Breakers Inn's tower and thought to ourselves "Wouldn't it be nice to stay... More
