We can say, without reservation, that our vacation at Inn by the Sea was terrific. The setting, the staff, the food, the environment all were beyond our expectation. We had high expectations to begin with, but they were quickly surpassed.

When we first got to Inn by the Sea we were greeted at the door it was a pleasure checking in we had our bags brought to our room. The rooms are very nice and comfortable the bathrooms are awesome the showers are huge its a beautiful property you can go for a walk on the beach its really beautiful. I would like to point out that this hotel is extremely dog friendly so if you dont like dogs or are allergic i would not recommend others its a great place to stay even with the dogs it doesn't smell like dog in the hotel at all its extremely clean they even have a gourmet Gog menu lol we found this pretty funny you can even get it sent to your room its really fancy lol. The restaurant is good but its small but clean, its a fancy restaurant to eat at so be prepared and its up there on the price but it was worth we got the steak it was good but it was more like a 30 dollar steak not a 50 dollar steak but we were there on our Anniversary so what can you do lol

Inn by the Sea is small but very relaxed. Staff, in particular, is very friendly and efficient. Facilities are good. Meals are good but menu is limited. Resort doesn't have a lot of amenities. Beach and pool are central. We did not use the spa.

Lovely hotel 20 mins from Portland Airport with beautiful views of the ocean and white sand beach which was not crowded. Suite was fabulous and quiet. Lots of kids and a few dogs; very family friendly. Hotel dining room is excellent, both the food and the service, but it is slow which is hard if there are kids at the table, Only suggestion is that hotel also needs a really casual restaurant.

This is truly the most charming and lovely Inn. The food was absolutely exceptional! The Inn’s staff was very congenial, engaging and helpful. Our suite was constructed of the highest quality materials and could not have been more luxurious. Our family of 5 adults agreed it was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on and we travel extensively. Wish there was an oven in the kitchen to allow for more meals on site. The grounds and spa were just beautiful and we loved the private, uncrowded beach. Unfortunately, the price is extremely high. Beware of the additional $84./day resort fee, too.
