Luxury comes naturally at Inn by the Sea, surrounded by the beauty of coastal Maine. Located on a mile of sandy beach in New England the Inn embraces an understated elegance with traditional coastal shingled architecture, but decidedly modern and stylish interiors. Inn by the Sea - part of the L.V.X collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts - has emerged as one of Maine's premier luxury seaside retreats and has been granted the prestigious AAA Four-Diamond Award. With just 61 rooms, spacious one- & two-bedroom suites and rooms, guests are guaranteed attentive service, elegant hospitality and an experience that promises to exceed expectations. Located in Cape Elizabeth, just 7 miles from Portland, the inn has managed to redefine coastal luxury with its sophisticated interior design coupled with a permanent collection of art created by renowned regional artists that grace public and private spaces. A private boardwalk leads onto the soothing shores of Crescent Beach, crossing through a sweeping wildlife sanctuary along the way. With such intimate surroundings, you might not expect the full-service amenities offered by larger hotels, but rest assured, Inn by the Sea is both full-service and fabulous.

Just try and find one single thing to complain about at this superb hotel ... you literally cannot. Situated on one of southern Maine's nicest beaches, with super spacious rooms facing the horizon, location is only one reason to come. Throw in friendly staff, excellent food, amenities galore, and their recent Wine Spectator Award, and you have all the elements of a PERFECT stay. Prices vary widely by season, of course, but deals can be had, and the value is there.

We had a wonderful four night stay at this beautiful inn. We have stayed a couple of times in the past few years when they offer the Habitat for Humanity special discount. The inn is beautiful, well cared for and the staff is great! Our king loft room was very clean, comfortable and had excellent amenities. The location is also great, with views of the beach and a boardwalk path to get to the beach. We look forward to coming back!

Five stars all the way - the property and room were amazing - gorgeous, clean, attention to details all the way around. Food and service was excellent - everyone was so incredibly nice. I also love that this property allows pups - they are an integral part here and that makes it all the better. Stayed in a 2 brm 1 bath suite second floor balcony - highly recommend.

We recently held a business event / meeting at Inn by The Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The staff went above and beyond to assist in the planning and execution of this event. Our attending customers were thrilled with the location and the Inn itself. It really does exude "Luxury Delivered Naturally" - this speaks to the venue itself and surrounding beauty but also the staff's ability to support a high end event seemlessly. A special shout out to Laurie Inness for her outstanding support and professionalism!
