Reviews for Inn by the Sea
Amazing!
We chose to stay at the Inn by the Sea as recommended by the Maine Veterinary Medical Center where our dog was to have surgery. We loved everything about the Inn. Everything we needed was in the suite or delivered quickly! The staff are phenomenal! Can't wait to return!

Simply the best!
An incredible hotel with wonderful staff in a gorgeous location. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed and you can't beat the proximity to the beach.

Christmas in Maine did not disappoint!
We had a great time at Inn by the Sea for Chirstmas! We took our two dogs and it was fabulous. The suite was so big and beautiful. Room service was fast and the food was good. High recommend!

Lovely hotel with the best staff!
We were fortunate to spend some time at Inn By The Sea during the holiday season. This is my preferred accommodation when we visit relatives in Maine. The staff is incredibly warm and helpful. I want to express my gratitude to Alex, Sam, Shane, and the entire team for making our visits truly special.

A wonderful oceanfront resort for Christmas
My wife and I stayed for several days at the end by the sea over Christmas as an opportunity to visit with family living in Portland. The resort was wonderful, staff, responsive, and the accommodation is beautiful. We enjoyed several great meals at the hotel restaurant. As we were traveling with our young dog, we especially enjoyed how incredibly dark, friendly staff and guests were. No All night it made for a wonderful experience…
