I love the nautical theme of the room. The building we stayed in was called the Pier. It was literally on the water. The view was fantastic any time of day. It was peaceful. The pool was nice. The staff are wonderful!! So nice and so helpful. I will be going back next summer

Lovely spot for a getaway!
We had a lovely stay here. The inn has everything you need from a big, delicious breakfast to kayaks and paddle boards for water activities. We swam every day in the ocean and enjoyed the heated pool afterwards. Our room had a nice balcony with a good view of the ocean. We met lots of people and really liked being out of the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor.

We loved the setting and the grounds and the location. The room lacked outlets for recharging devices. It was immaculate when we arrived, but they didn't clean it for the 4 nights we were there. They did supply clean towels, and empty the trash, but that was it. When we asked, they said they only did light cleaning.

Quaint setting with a little beach and a lot of kayaks and paddle boards to use. Breakfast was great and it was close to Booth Bay where there is lots of food options and shopping.

Arrived to a room with a broken sliding glass door with duck tape. It didn’t lock so we asked for a refund of 1 night or a new room. The owner told me she didn’t have that on the maintenance list, but I found a review from July 2021 stating a broken unlockable sliding glass door so not sure. She placed us in a new room, but we lost time waiting and had to move all of our things. Heated pool wasn’t warm. Breakfast options were not as good as other places. Parking was terrible! The view was certainly nice, but I wouldn’t return for the price based on what we received in return.

Clean, quiet, relaxing, beautiful, pool option, able to stay on property for most of the stay, delicious breakfast and dinner at restaurant on property, friendly staff. Would recommend reservations for dinner at the restaurant, and, the only improvement I would encourage is a more well trained, well organized wait staff at the restaurant to reduce wait time for meals for the excellent food that is being prepared by an obviously talented chef or chefs!

We had a wonderful stay! The included breakfast was delicious with offerings of pancakes, French toast, sausage, bacon, home fries, cereals, yogurt, granola, scrambled eggs and fried eggs. The saltwater pool was a great way to cool off without going in the ocean. There is corn hole, a fire pit, kayaks and paddle boards…so much to do. We had a wonderful time and will be coming back!
