    Lovely property. Very well maintained and taken care of. The option of pool or beach is a plus. Although we didn’t utilize the activities available each day.. it seemed very family friendly. Definitely will be back but hopefully reserve a bigger room or suite. Charming outdoor seating on the huge lawn but mostly in the sun. An indoor lobby with some comfy seating would be great.

    Location Dog Friendly Food Parking Everything you would expect from a luxury hotel - it is pricy. Nothing negative.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We just love it there. It is our happy place. Beautiful grounds, comfortable, friendly and downy to earth staff. Wonderful place!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The Inn is absolutely beautiful and the staff is so kind and helpful. The dinner at Sea Glass was delicious and the best way to kick off our weekend in Maine. It was hard to leave our room because the ocean view was so picturesque. I hope to come back again!

    Gorgeous sea views.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This property was amazing. You walk into the lobby and can see the grass and ocean all at once. They have options to eat at the resort, have a bar and a pool. If you’d like, you have options to play games outside, make smores or walk down to the beach. It’s a beautiful walk. The loft we stayed in was beautiful, with gorgeous views. The bathroom has heated floors and there were two tvs, upstairs and downstairs. They even offer clue, scrabble and monopoly. Parking was easy, breakfast was available and the staff was nice. The rooms were very clean. Loved it here.

    We lived the location - very private and surrounded by nature. We could hear the ocean wherever we were. The meals were outstanding. Great chef. We also loved the hospitality by everyone There was nothing to not like.

    It was so pretty, the view was amazing , the dining onsite was wonderful, the room was spacious and way better than I expected....way, way, waaaayyyyy better. I guess, since I travel with me dog, I've gotten used to sub-par spaces. The Inn by the Sea's room was perfect. I can't believe I got a room with carpeting! A room that didn't faintly smell like pee! And the bathroom was-WOW!! I told this to the front desk...if a person books a room and it is indicated they are bringing a dog-please, please, please inform them that the beach, (probably the reason the place was picked) is closed to dogs...even temporarily, (the beach was closed to dogs for a few weeks because it's nesting season for a rare shore bird). Not the Inn's fault...but it was something known when I booked. I loved the hotel but I wanted a beach walkable to the Inn where I could play with my dog. Now, there was a beach that was nearby, (not walkable to though) that I was directed to and that was nice...maybe that's all that needs to be posted to people.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel enough - it was the perfect stay! Staff are incredibly helpful, the rooms are amazing, and the spa was awesome! 15 minutes from Portland and right on the beach, it couldn't get better!

    Clean. Great staff. Kid friendly

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    This was my first trip away since having kids 12 years ago. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The parking lot, lobby, halls and room were very clean. Our dinner and breakfast at the Inn were absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors complimented each other well. It was difficult to make a choice on what to order. We didn't have a pet with us but did see several dogs during dining and were impressed with dog menu. I would highly recommend to anyone to stay at the Inn and if you are unable to at least have a meal in the restaurant. We are already planning a longer stay next time.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    This was the utmost experience you could wish for. If you are looking for a get-away with everything perfect- The Inn at the Sea should be your # 1 choice. The stay was beyond our expectations- all A++ .

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Everything about the hotel and the property were exactly as we'd hoped. The room was beautiful, clean and fully stocked with everything we could need and the meals were creative and delicious. It's our first time staying here but it certainly won't be our last.
