Luxury comes naturally at Inn by the Sea, surrounded by the beauty of coastal Maine. Located on a mile of sandy beach in New England the Inn embraces an understated elegance with traditional coastal shingled architecture, but decidedly modern and stylish interiors. Inn by the Sea - part of the L.V.X collection of Preferred Hotels & Resorts - has emerged as one of Maine's premier luxury seaside retreats and has been granted the prestigious AAA Four-Diamond Award. With just 61 rooms, spacious one- & two-bedroom suites and rooms, guests are guaranteed attentive service, elegant hospitality and an experience that promises to exceed expectations.

Reviews for Inn by the Sea

My favorite place to go.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

My favorite place to go every year at this time. The weather is cool but not too cold. The beach is beautiful for a walk. Close to Portland for some great food. Very relaxing and serene. Look forward to going every year. The best part is we get to stay at a great hotel with our dog.

A Truly Special Place – Our Home Away From Home

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We have been coming to Inn by the Sea for over 15 years, and each visit feels like returning to family. Whether we’re celebrating anniversaries and birthdays or seeking solace during difficult times, this incredible inn has always welcomed us with open arms and kindness that knows no bounds. A heartfelt thank you to Eva, Mark, Annie, Sam, and Michael for making every stay so comfortable and memorable. Your warmth, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness turn every visit into something truly special. Without all of you, our experiences wouldn’t be nearly as fun or interesting! Beyond the outstanding staff, the inn’s beautiful environment and serene atmosphere set it apart. Another thing that holds a special place in our hearts is their unwavering support of Pawsitively 4 Pink, a nonprofit that aids low-income women diagnosed with breast cancer. The Inn by the Sea consistently comes through with donations for our events, demonstrating generosity that speaks volumes about their values. This is just another reason we make it a priority to visit several times a year. The Inn by the Sea holds a unique place in our lives, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable getaway. If you’re searching for a place where every need is thoughtfully met, and every visit becomes a cherished memory, this is your inn. We can’t thank you enough, Inn by the Sea. You’ll always have a special place in our hearts. 💖 Michelle and Kathy

Inn by the Sea - Girls Weekend!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

Just an amazing experience at Inn by the Sea! Such incredible service from the staff, stunning accommodations, 10/10! We had our girls weekend there and it was the perfect place to unwind while still having your own private space. Would recommend!

Great place to just relax

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We’ve stayed there several times and always enjoy it. Super friendly staff, clean, nice view and great beds. We get the double-double rooms which have a huge bathroom and a big, big shower. Restaurant people are very nice and knowledgeable, decent selection on the menu. The bar makes a great Manhattan!

Must Stay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

A beautiful property to rest and reconnect. We stay here when visiting our daughter who is going to school in Portland. It is a short drive to downtown and all the action yet you return to a slice of heaven! We have stayed her twice now and would recommend it to anyone couples or families. We plan to return in the near future.
