What a wonderful place by the sea. Located surrounded by a nature preserve and the beach, you can't ask for a better spot. The accomodations are luxurious, and pet friendly. Lots of trails and walking spots.

Food was great, however twice my meal was undercooked.

Location -off the beaten path, on the water, quiet, beautiful! Everything we needed was there - you thought of everything! It was just enough to feel cared for, luxurious, comfortable, but not too much that it felt crowded, stuffy or too fancy. The suite was spacious and lovely. I can't believe we could have our dog - that was soo great! The beds were suuper comfy, and there was plenty of hot water - even thought all 5 of us took long hot showers or baths.

Really, it is hard to find a flaw. It was a bit pricey for the off season. We were there for one night after Thanksgiving and it was almost $700 all told. We didn't have much a view (502)- which I could have been ok with for less $. Silly little issues were - Shower gel didn't come out, microwave plate was too big for the microwave, tub didn't hold water (but that was taken care of with a call!).

We arrived early & we were told our room was not ready. That was a little disappointing, but it gave us a chance to explore the area. So it was fine. The service, from front desk to wait staff was very friendly & professional. The dinners were wonderful & very unique! You knew the menu was very thought out! Kudos to the chefs! Breakfast was equally delicious, plentiful & wonderful! The location! Stunning! A super quick walk to Crescent Beach, which was so lovely! The grounds were just as stunning. The next time we visit here it will be for longer than 3 nights!

Would have been convenient to have an ice machine on the floor, or nearby. Although the ice was brought to us quickly, it took a little planning.

The grounds are beautiful even in the midst of March. Room was quite cozy, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom with shower and of course the ocean view.

There was nothing we didn’t like

The breakfast was superb! Great Maine bacon, fresh Maine farm eggs, wonderful English muffins and really good coffee ... lots of attention to detail there ... In terms of staffing, all staff were amazingly friendly and welcoming ... my husband Daniel and I found the inn to be enormously LGBTQI friendly ... and kudos for you for that

How you can you improve on perfection? Nothing to say here ...

Nice beach walk, old charming inn, spacious room and bathroom, outdoor seating area and fire pit, close to things to see and do

Did not use inn dining option, more menu choices needed

- The locations is spectacular - We loved the easy boardwalk access to the beach, the incredible view of the ocean, the Adirondack chairs for lounging on the beautiful grounds - The food was delicious, and room service very friendly and efficient - The staff was professional and friendly

- The mattresses were too soft for our liking

Luxury room with extra welcoming touches; boardwalk to the beach; couches and fire rings on the deck at night; delicious breakfast and very friendly and accommodating staff. A new favorite, worth the extra expense!

Excellent location with view of water. Super dog friendly.

Bit too high price for midweek in May especially when not fully booked.
