The historic Watchtide - by the sea Inn is very comfortable and has many interesting and unique furnishings. The hosts make you very comfortable and then disappear to allow you privacy. The room we stayed in was immaculate and furnished with antique quilts, very nice art work, lush bathrobes, and a private bathroom that was modern. Our king sized bed was extreemly comfortable. The views over the Penobscot Bay are glorious, we saw a red fox and a deer during our stay. Flowers were in abundance. We chose Searsport for it's central location on the Maine coast and were able to visit many scenic towns, parks, forts, and museums daily with only short auto trips North or South. Our hosts were very helpful with directions, arranged a sailing trip on Penobscot Bay, and gave us hints on interesting places to visit. We loved the gormet breakfasts every morning - the menu changed every day as did the china and place settings. The presentation of the food was inventive and beautiful and it all tasted delicious. Every request was met above and beyond. We can't think of anything we did not like about this Inn. Highly recommend a visit. We will be going back.

We found Watchtide by the Sea on B&B.com. We had a great time. There are new owners who are gradually updating the very large building. The sun porch, a large, sunny room where breakfast is served, was wonderful--furnished with a variety of chairs, sofas, and a wicker lounge that was my favorite. I could sit there, look out at an expanse of green with Penobscot Bay in the distance, and just enjoy the morning. There are other public rooms--a living room and a library--and all are supplied with books, magazines, and guide books. Breakfast was great with lots of variety during the three days we were there. Our air conditioner cooled the room with no difficulty. I'd go back in a minute!
