We stayed at Richard's By the Sea in July of 2011. This hotel ended up being the jewel we found just before leaving. First impression was of a very friendly owner who was most accomodating over the phone. Needless to say, in person she was charm itself.. We felt just like home, welcomed in the owners home in fact. Our... More

Spent 4th of July Weekend at Richard's By The Sea with our daughter, her husband and 2 Grandchildren - weather was beautiful and Richard's was so close to the beach. The apt. was nice and homey as was the porch with a view of the beach. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back next year!!!! Eileen... More

I have been staying at Richard's by the Sea for many years and it is my favorite place, it is like my home away from home. Lisa and Paul are always very courteous and helpful. The rooms are always clean and every year they do some sort of updates, like fresh paint, new counter tops, etc. I wouldn't even think... More

We have been guests at Richard's by the sea for 3 straight years now. We waited to write a review because we wanted to keep this find to ourselves! It is a small motel by Old Orchard standards and that is why we enjoy it. Situated on a side street leading to the beach, the kids have a few feet... More

We love Richard's by the Sea, Lisa and family are so nice. We've never had anything but a relaxing time. Sitting on the porches and grilling as much as we want. Four of July fireworks were unbelieveable. We could see them from the top porch front of the house! No need to stand on the beach with 1,000 of people,... More

To say the least our trip at Richards by the Sea was AWFUL. Everything started off okay but then it quickly took a turn for the worst. They say that no one goes into the room during your stay so my boyfriend thought it would be okay for him to leave his jewelry in the bed stand while we went... More

My friends and I have stayed at Richard's By The Sea every summer for more than 9 years. Each year we are impressed but not surprised by the immaculately clean, superior accommodations of Richard's. If you are looking for a friendly, centrally located, affordable place to stay at OOB...Richard's is that place. Lisa and Paul (owners) are genuine people who... More

This was my first weekend up to OOB this year. I have stayed at Richards by the Sea many many times. Sometimes I go alone, with my teenage girls or with my fiance. I have never been disappointed. Lisa and Paul are great to do business with, but they are also wonderful to visit with. It is right on the... More

Great location and the owners seemed friendly - It was very very close to the beach - and it also had great curb appeal - Loved the flowers!! but, the BED WAS TO SMALL - not sure, but if I had to guess it was a "full" size. We have a queen at home and this bed seemed a lot... More
