Reviews for Inn by the Sea
best Maine vacation experience for our family
We visited Inn by the Sea in mid-August and cannot say enough wonderful things about our time there. The property is immaculately maintained and the hospitality of the staff was second to none. An unexpected benefit is that the property boosts natural flower gardens ne takes part in many environmentally friendly iniativies, which our family loved. My 10-year-old had a blast and did not want to leave. Among the highlights for him was a walk in the garden where a staff educator taught him how to spot monarch caterpillars feasting on milkweed. There was also a local animal rescue that came to teach kids about animal conservation. There are signs leading up to the beach about steering clear of endangering piping plovers that may be nesting on the beach. It was wonderful to be able to indulge on a vacation in a spot that aligned with our family’s values. Will definitely be back in the future.

Overpriced during peak seasons
Not worth the value during peak season - weekend wedding venue, mosquitos, outdated rooms. Great food however at Seaglass resturant.

Worth a night, not a vacation.
Not worth the price, but it's a beautiful location. Not a lot of the amenities you would expect from this caliber (and cost) of a hotel.

Rest , Relax , Repeat!!
It’s a wow from when you see the property! All the beautiful gardens, beach, pool. 62 thoughtful rooms. It breathes like a 5 diamond sleep away camp. I have never been more relaxed or slept better. Our loft suite felt like we rented a well equipped house. Food service was excellent. Everyday make room for the ice cream social and evening s’mores. Portland is only 7 miles away ( wonderful restaurants, shopping and boating). Take the ferry to Peeks island and ride the loop on bicycle . I will return as soon as humanly possible!
