Reviews for Inn by the Sea
Will hurry back!
Location was ideal. The staff was so friendly, and all the extras like a reading light, binoculars, snores night, coffee, beach activities - it all added up to a wonderful trip. 100% family friendly

Relaxing by the Ocean
You will not find more beautiful ocean views in this gorgeous property. Very relaxed setting. Friendly staff. Ate there four days. Ordered different things from the menu. Each deliciously prepared. Everyone an instant favorite. Complimentary fire pit with marshmallows and smores was a nice touch. Friendly staff. Nice location between Portland and Ogunquit, making for nice day trips. Minutes from the Lobster Shack by the twin light houses.

No better place for a family gathering
Our extended family of 17 enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. In a private room overlooking Kettle Cove we enjoyed terrific service and great seasonal food. Half of us were youngsters who enjoyed the chance to ramble between courses on the deck and well-kept lawn and gardens.

Do Not Miss ...Inn By The Sea
We have stayed here multiple times and in all seasons. NEVER had a bad experience. Rooms and suites are all excellent. The staff in all departments are extremely helpful. Even went out to replace ice cream and milk which mistakenly taken when they replaced our fridge. Sea Glass is a fabulous place to eat.

What a way to celebrate your 41st Wedding Anniversary
From the first time we stepped out of the car we knew it was going to be a fabulous day. The grounds are beautiful the rooms are beautiful and most importantly the dogs felt comfortable the entire time we were there.
