Inn By The Sea is my hidden treasure, my oasis, my heaven on earth. There is nothing short of perfection that would describe my most recent visit as well as my past visits. The setting, the service, the food, the staff, the feeling of being among family, etc. makes this my favorite place for a vacation.

Extraordinary experience: The suites, the restaurant, the grounds and landscaping are superb. Combine that with the location, situated next to a protected area with exceptional views and access to Crescent Beach - stunning. Room for a bit of improvement in just two minor areas: The convertible couches need an upgrade to match the quality of rest of the suite details; and perhaps some updating of the pool surroundings and experience with families in mind.

One of the best hotel experiences we've had. Service was great, very attentive staff. The hostess during breakfast hours is the sweetest person ever. Access to the beach and amenities are also wonderful. The best experience was sitting out on the lawn and watching the fireflies dance as the water crashes in the distance. Distance to other beaches and food also a huge bonus. I WILL BE BACK.

First time to visit Maine. The Inn has views that are breathtaking…enjoyed breakfast at Sea Glass the onsite restaurant. The blueberry pancakes with blueberry butter and Maine Maple syrup were delicious. Getting to dine there with that spectacular view, made the weekend just perfect

What a beautiful, calm, quiet resort. Our room had a beautiful view of the water, with a balcony that we utilized every evening. The hotel was so quiet, even though there were a lot of guests. Great insulation between the rooms. Best bed ever!! I don't know the type of sheets that were used, but highly recommended. Food at the restaurant was awesome, more beautiful views of the water from the restaurant. The bathroom had heated floors and a great tub and shower. So many great touches and excellent service. We will be back.

My husband and I had a 2 night stay for some business in the area but also a relaxing getaway. The staff was amazing. My husband had a massage with Jake. He said it was the best massage he has ever had. We had dinner and breakfast in the Sea Glass, it was so good. I can't think of a single complaint.
