Reviews for Inn by the Sea
Lovely Inn
Beautiful Inn that feels intimate and quaint. We stayed for our 35th wedding anniversary and were very pleased. The rooms are updated and comfortable. Dining at the Sea Glass was upscale. You can walk to the beach or enjoy the pool. It's only 15 minutes from downtown Portland. The staff are very pleasant. Would highly recommend.

We had a one bedroom suite overlooking the ocean. Great room, and since it had a kitchen, we ate breakfast in the room every morning. We love it here, and this is the second year we've met up with friends to vacation here. We'll be back next year!

Great getaway
Everything was wonderful from the time we entered the lobby. The staff was very attentive and friendly, our accomodations were lovely along with great food and service! It was a great getaway.....and our dog thoroughly enjoyed all the attention.

A+++++ We come back year after year and continues to impress!
The best part of our stay was pretty much everything. The Cove suite was perfect for our family of 4. Enough space for us all to hang out including a nice outdoor covered deck with couch and chairs. The location can not be beat - there is a very well maintained path to the beach and several walking trails. The beach is not private but felt like we had it all to ourselves. We had a couple drinks at the restaurant that were delicious. This is also a dog friendly resort and appreciate all the accommodations made ensuring everyone has a great stay. A phenomenal restaurant is on site but we chose to take some adventures into Portland which is a very close drive.

A beautiful, tranquil location with excellent dining.
Wonderful service! The dining was excellent & inspiring for our passion for cooking. The room was delightful & the bath was divine. We loved hearing the symphony of birds as well. Our little dog loved everything….including the staff’s kindness & the chefs cooking!
