Because of a combination of factors, I had not traveled in over 3 years. I was in desperate need of a relaxing vacation and Terrace By The Sea was the perfect location. When I walked in our room and saw the ocean view I could instantly feel my tension easing. The room itself was very clean and well maintained. A couple of spots where the paint had peeled but otherwise very nice. A nice area outside our room where we could sit and enjoy the views. It wasn't exactly a balcony because it wasn't private but more of a deck shared by all the rooms but we were the only ones taking advantage while we were there.There was a nice size refrigerator in the room with a working freezer which is something I find to be hit or miss with hotel refrigerators. I was a little concerned about water pressure from the looks of the showerhead but I didn't need to be, it actually was better than my water pressure at home. The staff was amazing. Check in was a breeze. There is a wonderful porch overlooking the water set up for breakfast but we opted to eat outside as the tables on the porch were a little close for our comfort but mostly because it was a gorgeous day and we wanted to spend the time outside anyway. A staff member was drying off lounge chairs and immediately set us up with a table and two dry chairs. He also gave us lots of helpful information about things to do in Ogunquit. While I'm normally a fan of sleeping in on vacation, set your alarms early and walk the block to the beach and watch the sunrise. You won't be disappointed. This was my first trip to Maine but hope to return for a longer visit. If I return to Ogunquit, I will definitely be staying here again. One bit of advice, I normally travel with someone with mobility issues (I wasn't on this trip) and some of the rooms are only accessible by stairs. If mobility is a concern, make sure to let the staff know when making your reservation.

We stayed one night, wished we had made reservations for two nights. Great location, beautifully manicured lawn with lots of flowers, overlooking the beach and ocean. Pleasant staff, great room that was spotlessly clean! Would have given five stars, except I think the breakfast could have been more substantial to include a buffet of eggs, bacon, sausage, etc, However, I wouldn't hesitate staying here again!

Pros- right on the beachfront, full ocean view beautiful grounds and flowers, large room and bathroom, very clean and comfortable, quiet, chairs outside room and on lawn, serve yourself outdoor basic breakfast on terrace, parking close to room, quiet, clean, walkable/close to Winding Way Trail and shops and restaurants, decent wifi and charging port for devices, mini fridge
