Ocean Point Inn

Has anyone recently stayed there? I checked reviews and they%26#39;re not recent. It seems to be a beautiful area but the reviews weren%26#39;t very favorable for the Inn.

I haven%26#39;t stayed there recently so I can%26#39;t comment on the Inn.. but we were in Boothbay Harbor this weekend and noticed that it is up for sale. It appears the owners are retiring. Not sure if all that matters...just an FYI.

Hi Yackswife,

I can%26#39;t speak for the actual accomodations at the Ocean Pt Inn since I haven%26#39;t stayed there recently. But the location is excellent, the views breathtaking and the owners (yes it is up for sale) were wonderful.

I%26#39;ve dined at the restaurant and have been inside the lobby and both are charming and well maintained, as well as the outside grounds. I would imagine the rooms would be as well maintained as the public areas. Consequently, you might want to take a chance as again, the location can%26#39;t be beat.

Good luck and let us know what you decide :).

Thanks for your input. I was concerned about the reviews. I%26#39;m getting so frustrated trying to decide on a place to stay. If it was for one night it wouldn%26#39;t matter too much but we%26#39;re planning on staying 4 or 5 nights. I want a place that%26#39;s not too expensive, yet has a nice view and has a pool. I was also looking at the Rocktide. I%26#39;ll have to decide soon.

We stayed there in Auugust 2007.

We had such a great time and we recommend it to you.

We do not know if it has changed a lot in 2 years, but it should still be a great place, and the location is one of their assets.

We enjoyed the hotel itself, because it was clean and very well maintained. There is a pool and a very good restaurant/breakfast.

We also enjoyed the fact that it on the ocean, in a remote part of Boothbay Harbor.

Boothbay Harbor is a beautiful little town in Maine, so typical of the area.

We liked it so much, that we may return there this year.

Hi Yackswife,

I don%26#39;t think you could go wrong staying at either the Ocean Pt Inn or the Rocktide. Both are well regarded in the area, have pools, great views and good restaurants with nice views. The Ocean Pt.Inn also offers courts.

If you prefer to stay close to town where all the action is, then the Rocktide might be the best choice. Its on the east side of the harbor and about a 10 minute walk to town over the scenic footbridge. It also has great sunsets and views of all the boating activity and fireworks during July 4th and the Windjammers Festival.

If you prefer a more remote feeling with rocky coast, crashing waves, open ocean, islands and views to several lighthouses, then the Ocean Pt. might suit you. Though its only about a 10 to 15 minute drive from downtown BBH, it feels a million miles away. Ocean Pt. has been a summer colony of cottages for over a 100 years and has tons of charm, pretty gardens, neat old houses and is a great walking and picnicing spot. Here you can sit out on the rocks, watch the sunset, and then the lighthouses turn on, one by one.

Good luck and let us know what you decide!

Both sound like what we%26#39;re looking for. We%26#39;ll have to make a decision soon. Thanks for your help.
