The Breakwater Inn
Riverside spa and seafood two minutes from the water
About this hotel
Bright rooms overlook the river at The Breakwater Inn, and the property leans into the setting with a seafood restaurant on site and a spa built for the between-rounds reset. Free breakfast and guest bicycles are included, and the bicycles make the four-minute walk to Colony Beach or the two-minute stroll to Port Fish & Chop House feel almost unnecessary to plan around. A bar and room service cover the quieter evenings, and accessible rooms widen who can stay comfortably. Air conditioning keeps rooms manageable through the summer humidity that rolls in off the water. What most groups remember afterward is the combination of spa and seafood restaurant on the same property, since it removes the need to choose between recovery and a proper dinner after golf.

Our take
This suits a couple or small group treating the golf trip as much as a coastal getaway as a golf trip, thanks to the riverside spa and seafood restaurant pairing. Larger buddies trips wanting a livelier bar scene or budget pricing should look further down this list; the riverside setting here carries a premium.
- Book the spa for the afternoon after golf rather than the morning, when treatment rooms tend to be less booked.
- Use the guest bicycles for the ride to Colony Beach; four minutes by bike beats the walk on a hot afternoon.
- Reserve a seafood restaurant table ahead on weekends, since it draws guests from beyond the property.

Why guests love itA couple extending a golf trip into a short coastal break here used the spa on their rest day and the seafood restaurant most evenings, finding little reason to leave the property after dark. The guest bicycles made the ride to Colony Beach an easy midday break between the front and back nine on lighter days, and the riverside rooms stayed noticeably cooler than expected through a humid stretch of weather.
