Inn by the Sea, Cape Elizabeth, Maine
Inn by the Sea is a beautiful hotel right on the water in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I had the pleasure of staying here during my summer trip to Maine and I loved it!
Upon arriving at the Inn by the Sea, the first thing I fell in love with was the pristine lawn dotted with Adirondack chairs! It was my fantasy Maine hotel in person! My favorite feature of the hotel is how it’s located on the beach. You simply take a walking trail from the hotel right down to Crescent Beach.
All The Details on Inn by the Sea!
The coastal views and beauty of the Inn by the Sea make it a hotel to remember. The hotel is pricey but well worth it. All of the hotel amenities you would expect are available (free Wi-Fi, free parking, on-site gym, Spa services, poolside patio, etc.) and there is a fabulous in-house restaurant, Sea Glass, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I tried Sea Glass for breakfast and the Avocado toast was so good! During our stay at the hotel, there was a s’mores bar set up on the patio which was fun (and delicious).
The accommodations match the luxuriousness of the Inn. My husband and I booked a King loft suite. Loft suites are two-level accommodations featuring a king-sized bed on the upper level. The first floor of the guestroom offers a wet bar kitchenette including a mini-refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, glassware, and dishes. The kitchenette opens into a large living space with a full-size pull-out sleep sofa and executive desk.
A balcony opening from the living space features ocean views and seating for two. On the second floor of the Loft Suite is a lofted bedroom and oversized bathroom. The bathroom offers an air jet tub, a glass walk-in shower, and a heated floor.
Luxury But Make It Close To Town…
A great feature of the Inn by the Sea is its proximity to Portland, Maine. It was so convenient to stay at the Inn and then only have a 20-minute drive into Portland. Most of the activities and dining I had planned for Maine were in Portland, so a conveniently located hotel was key for me. Stay tuned for the full blog post I have coming on things to do in Portland, including a sunset cruise with Portland Schooner Co. Until then, rest assured that Inn by the Sea is close to all Portland, ME has to offer!
Crescent Beach
Crescent Beach is located just a short walking distance from Inn by the Sea. Simply exit the hotel and follow the delightful little wooden walking trail that turns to sand as you get closer to the beach. The hotel provides umbrellas and beach towels for your use, all complimentary!
Crescent Beach is a mile-long crescent-shaped beach with saltwater coves, wooded areas, beachgrass-studded sand dunes, and lots of rock ledges. The beach is perfect for picnics, nature watching, walking, swimming, boating, and fishing.
