“Pleasant place to stay - even in the off season”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010

I was traveling the Maine coast recently during the off season. I hadn’t been in Boothbay Harbor for many years. I saw a posting for Sur La Mer Inn noting their prime waterfront location. It was just as advertised. The view of the harbor and outlying islands was awesome. I felt as if on the deck of a ship from the large patio facing the sea.

The inn was clean and felt very cozy with the glow from the fireplace in the evening. The innkeepers were gracious and accommodating. They provided local knowledge of places to dine. These recommendations were right on target. I generally don’t write reviews of places where I have stayed but this place was an exception.

“Like One of the Family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2010

Having traveled and stayed at B&Bs throughout the US and Canada, this was one of the most pleasant experiences we've ever had. The service, well suffice it to say, made us feel as if we were the only patrons; as if we were part of their family and the house, ours. Excellent setting; knowledgeable and gracious hosts. Highly recommended.

“Perfect Location, Friendly Hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

Eclectic inn at fair prices. Comfy rooms - not too "precious". Very peaceful - 5 min. walk from downtown with huge ocean frontage. Decent bkfst (not gourmet), friendly hosts. They leave you alone (which I prefer to other more "intimate" inns/B&Bs).

“DO NOT stay here. Worst experience ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2010
3
people found this review helpful

We were charged 200$ for the worst B&B in our entire trip and experience as traveller. The worst part ( except the awful decor of the entire home, nothing matches, the linens are old and with holes) is that the ENTIRE place is filty. bathrooms are dirty, towels were dirty, floors etc.....and all for $200!!!

“A great house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

I'm surprised how tasty the decorations are. The owners own a restaurant and a gallery in town. We stayed in room 11, and it is VERY big! I feel like a millionaire living in my vocation house. The view is terrific with 270 degree+ views of harbor and bay!
