nice rooms and breakfast was decent. parking was terrible, stairs to 2nd floor were not confidence boosting
Very nice location on the water. Salt water pool available. Kayaking and paddle boards for use. Restaurant on site. Room was updated. Bathroom is small, but room is decent size. Parking is a bit tight but restaurant provides alternate parking if needed. We were on the bottom floor of the Anchor Building. I think I’d recommend top floor as we had a heavy walker above us. Overall, nice stay and we’d stay again.
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
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.
Such a great place. Much better since new owners bought this place. Upgrades were nice

Great location … complimentary breakfast was one of the best anywhere.
Our bathroom in room smelled of urine which kind of permeated sleeping area as well .
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.
