Beautiful location, quiet, but close to beach and shorelines. Lots of thoughtful luxuries provided like beach chairs, buckets, snacks, fruit and a nightly fire with smores.
Great pet friendly resort that allowed the dog to remain in the room while dining in the restaurant. Pet was allowed in the lounge area where they offered the same dining room menu, if you wanted to bring you pet along
. Pet treats and food and water dishes already in place in the room.
Our room was wonderful and the staff were great also. Food at the restaurants was very good. However, this hotel should have some form of shuttle service to and from the airport. We almost missed our flight home because of poor service from local private transportation providers. This really was a source of stress for my wife and I that was not necessary. This issue is well known to your staff.
The Inn is absolutely beautiful and the staff is so kind and helpful. The dinner at Sea Glass was delicious and the best way to kick off our weekend in Maine. It was hard to leave our room because the ocean view was so picturesque. I hope to come back again!
Couldn't recommend this hotel enough - it was the perfect stay! Staff are incredibly helpful, the rooms are amazing, and the spa was awesome! 15 minutes from Portland and right on the beach, it couldn't get better!
Everything about the hotel and the property were exactly as we'd hoped. The room was beautiful, clean and fully stocked with everything we could need and the meals were creative and delicious. It's our first time staying here but it certainly won't be our last.
This was the utmost experience you could wish for. If you are looking for a get-away with everything perfect- The Inn at the Sea should be your # 1 choice. The stay was beyond our expectations- all A++ .

Absolutely stunning property with beautiful ocean views! The spa was lovely and relaxing. The room we stayed in was clean, had gorgeous views while we sat by the fire in our living room. Staff was attentive and kind. A definite if you are staying in the Cape Elizabeth area.
Inn by the Sea was an excellent place to stay. The front desk during check-in was 5 star and very helpful. Our room was clean, cozy and comfortable. The spa was wonderful and relaxing. The restaurant food was delicious, a lot of variety. I would recommend the Inn By The Sea to my friends and family.

Splendid stay!
Right from the arrival, warm and efficient hospitality, nice room, nice, clean and well kept property, and most of al what a location. We enjoyed long walks at the beach and shall definitely come back.
This property was amazing. You walk into the lobby and can see the grass and ocean all at once. They have options to eat at the resort, have a bar and a pool. If you’d like, you have options to play games outside, make smores or walk down to the beach. It’s a beautiful walk. The loft we stayed in was beautiful, with gorgeous views. The bathroom has heated floors and there were two tvs, upstairs and downstairs. They even offer clue, scrabble and monopoly. Parking was easy, breakfast was available and the staff was nice. The rooms were very clean. Loved it here.

This place is very special, both in its gorgeous setting and in the lovely, comfortable suites. But what stands out especially is how everyone on the staff is so well trained, helpful and gracious. also, the food at the Sea Glass restaurant was wounded and the service perfect.
Inn by the Sea stands out for its beautiful oceanfront location, bright and comfortable rooms with large windows overlooking the sea, and its attentive, caring staff. The Sea Glass restaurant offers excellent cuisine, both for breakfast and dinner, with a relaxing view of the ocean.
