We never stayed hardly could get in My confirmation said could check in at 2pm was told on phone not till 4pm the house attached is a private property with note to call people for info. It was the weirdest setup and most stressful setup couldn’t get any info I needed till just before 4pm and when finally got to see and check in it smelt like mold was freezing inside step one foot in and out I was already sick from stress off trying to make sure we had a place to stay with 2 kids and I had to find somewhere else to go was not going to make rest of family sick with mold or whatever that stench was. I was told we would be refunded but Expedia can’t seem to connect with them! However if you need a great place to stay only 30 mins away port inn in Kennebuck is great!

We were impressed by the @ home atmosphere of the owners offering a hot plate, sink, untensils, cookware, mini fridge. Very welcoming decor/bright & light. Management were very nice/courteous. The downside is that it could have been cleaner - floors and baseboards, etc. Shower wasn't that efficient re: hot enough water. We would return though. Waiting to make sure we get a receipt for staying an extra night and it not going through via the internet/just dealt w/ the management, directly.

Owner was very nice. We could not get the tv to work and needed more towels she was quick to help. The kitchen was not stocked very well and could use some deep cleaning, mold on shower liner, but was a place to stay at a reasonable price.

It was filthy. Manager was rude und unhelpful. You hear everything through the walls. The floors moved when someone next door was walking. Real treat! And I’m sure black mold was in the bathroom. It was stuffy but when you turned on air, you got a load of dirt floating around the room

Worst bed ever otherwise great place
The matresses need a serious discard they are by far the worst.I understand not being able to clean all the sand, maybe suggest leaving one for guests to do a sweep themselves through out their stay as it can easily get outta control

We never stayed. We were turned away because the property said we never registered which we did! So we lost the $185 deposit. I believe Expedia has proof of my payment. My card ended in 3320 Visa. I now have a new card if I can get my credit. Please help me with this and let me know. Thank you. Penny Tanner. We never stayed nor got our money back. That's the best I can do. PT

The room was very nice and wasn't like a traditional motel room. It was very clean and had a nice ocean theme. The bathroom was a little small, as well as the shower's. But i would recommend staying there.

Not only is this property not kept well . The floors were sticky, there was a smell in the room and the bedding doesn’t look or smell clean. The man who runs the motel is rude and made me pay TWICE. The man states that expedia does not collect money though I was clearly charged when booking. Th Ed man states this happens often and gets into fights with guests. Horrible service.

The property seems to be going through some renovations. Room was clean and staff was friendly. But, it was advertised as a standard studio with kitchenette - there were pans in the new cabinets, but no cooktop or toaster oven. Just a microwave, small refrig. and toaster. Location was good, walkable to see a performance at the Seaside Pavilion, and about a 15-20 min. walk to the beach.

While the motel was not the worst I’ve stayed in, it definitely was not what I expected from what it was advertised to be. When I booked the motel Expedia asked for a deposit which I gave, and said it would be taken off of the final price. When I checked in I was still charged the full price and the owner denied there being a deposit on Expedia. It turned out the deposit money was never taken out but I still ended up paying for than i had originally expected. In addition I found the owner to be very condescending and gave us some creepy vibes. Whenever he would see us he would ask if we got drunk or high then also remarked on how quiet we were which was just weird. End of the day nothing happened but I definitely didn’t feel super safe. The room itself was fine, not super clean but passable. The shower had some sand in it when we got there but that is to be expected at a beach motel. The location was a short walk to the beach but far enough away from the pier and town that it was not noisy.

The floors were very sandy. Floor had broken/shifting tiles. Bathroom / shower very dirty. Unclear if sheets were cleaned between guests. However, great proximity to the beach & pier.
