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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
