We spent our 29th Anniversary here. We had an upgraded room with a balcony. It was absolutely amazing. Convenient to the beach, convenient to other sights in the Cape Elizabeth area and Portland, Maine. The staff was fantastic from front door staff, wait staff, room cleaners to the managers. They are over the top helpful. Definitely a return visit in the future.

Wonderful from start to finish! Excellent service and accommodations. Beautiful and well kept. On site restaurant with excellent food. The only way I could think to improve is to increase the pool temperature in the off season and add a jacuzzi.

The Staff were very professional, helpful, and courteous. The grounds were beautiful and well-kept. Parking was easy and available. The room was a loft and very classy. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was all-inclusive including a hot tub that was quite relaxing, a vanity, and a shower area which were huge in scope. The dining was superb and the waiter was very professional. I would reserve a room at the Inn By The Sea again without hesitation.
