LOVE. This place was so nice and you can't beat the view. I got a room in one of the cottages for one night, I wish I could've stayed longer. It's right on the water so you can watch the sunset from your private porch. The rooms are smaller, I got one with a king bed, but it was a perfect space for me being a solo traveler and would work for a couple. The staff is very friendly. There's a restaurant in the main building, though I didn't end up eating there. I didn't wanna leave the place, it was truly stunning. I'll definitely be back in the future and have been recommending it to people I know!

AMAZING-- I wish I could live here. Quiet and clean, beautiful view, comfortable room, convenient bar and restaurant attached. Drinks and food were awesome, but for the first time the service beat out drinks and food!! Mike, Donovan, Jim and everyone else we interacted with were so friendly and made it feel like we were coming home (this review coming from someone who is NOT a people person.) Can't wait to bring my whole family, and definitely plan to stay for more than a few days next time.

My family and I loved our stay here. We traveled with two kids (3 and 7 yr. olds) and stayed in a room with an ocean view (highly recommend). The staff were really welcoming and made us feel right at home. The kids enjoyed the pool and yard games. I also appreciated that we weren’t staying right in Boothbay Harbor as the distance allowed me to see more of the surrounding area. We will definitely stay here again. Stunning place and lovely people. Shout out to Jim and his sweet doggies Penny and Nickel.

Jim the general manager went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. We were traveling with a 5 month old we had extremely noisy neighbors above us. Jim and his team were able to get us into another room that was better for our infant. The property retains a true Maine feel while bringing modern accommodations. I also left some film containing family photos in the room and Jim and his team went above and beyond to locate the film and bring it to fedex for me.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Bluebird this past weekend for an anniversary getaway. We'd never been to Maine and the location of the property was absolutely perfect. The view, the sights and sounds were fantastic. The people working at the hotel were fairly attentive and personable- some needed lessons in hospitality. We were surprised with a bottle of Prosecco in our room which was lovely. The room wasn't very pleasant, which was disappointing. The bed was quite uncomfortable- sunken in and lumpy- so sleep was hard to come by. The room had a chemical odor- probably cleaning solution- but was awful. The sliding door to the balcony was broken. Actually, the balcony was the best feature of the room, as it was oceanfront and had an incredible view- plus rocking chairs. The room in general was uncomfortable, cold and very bland. The shower dripped (annoying!!) and the bathroom was quite small. The saving grace was the phenomenal location. If the rooms are refreshed and upgraded, this could be a 4 star hotel. If that happens, we will definitely be back.

We stayed in a King cottage. The view was incredible. We also are at OPK on site. Again an absolute awesome experience. The staff were very helpful in every way. But it was the king bed, the most comfortable sleeping experience in a resort or hotel. We want to get the same thing for home. This was our first time here, but not the last. Thinking twice a year to start.

We stayed for the weekend with our toddler and had the best experience! We loved how family friendly the facility and staff are. Amazing views, comfortable beds, and truly the most lovely team. The manager went out of his way to offer our toddler bubbles and cut up strawberries when she was hangry. We can’t wait to go again. Thanks, Jim, Penny, and Nickel!

There is a cool relaxed vibe at this property and it feels like a piece of heaven on the coast of Maine. ||The grounds are fantastic with a beautiful view and plenty of places to walk, sit and relax. We stayed in a cottage and brought our 14yr old Yorkie.||Mornings were wonderful by the water having coffee. During the day we went into the town of Boothbay Harbor which is 15 min away. Lots of food, shopping, art etc. No long waits and all friendly people. We took a 1.5hr boat tour and they allowed our dog. It was lovely looking at the other boats in the harbor, seals, lighthouses and more. ||At night we dined at the FANTASTIC restaurant at our Inn Ocean Point Kitchen. The chef is fantastic! Food was amazing and people came from other hotels to eat here. You will need reservations to secure a seat but if you forget to make them, you can order online and eat outside by the water. ||This is a place that you spend more time outside than inside and therefore the cottages are simple. The beds are very comfortable with extremely soft linens. Tiny bathroom but everything works and plenty of hot water. ||They have a nice outdoor pool area for adults and kids with towels and loungers. ||Thank you to Jim and the group for your hospitality. We will be back! Billy, Jen and Mikey 🐾

My family and I had a wonderful stay in the Seaward Cottage. We arrived later in the evening 7/4 and departed 7/6 mid morning. When we arrived the receptionist was so nice. She offered many tips and made sure we were all set. In the morning on the 5th we grabbed some coffee inside the reception area. We toured the gift store and checked out the restaurant menu. We needed a couple extra bath towels and the gentleman behind the reception counter was very helpful and accommodating. Our cottage was the perfect size for the five of us. We even made one bathroom work n with no issues. The bathroom is actually a pretty good size. The bathroom could definitely use some hooks throughout to hang towels and maybe wet bathing suits, etc. Especially since this is geared for a party of 6. We had no problem with hot water. The living room set up is also a decent size with a working fireplace and a table and chairs in the corner. The kitchenette is tiny but packs a lot in there. The beds were extremely comfortable and the linens were clean and soft. The porch was so inviting. We sat outside numerous times and enjoyed it. The WiFi worked great, no issues. We used the pool one evening and that was perfect after a day of walking. Towels are provided and the pool is heated but not super warm. We had no problem swimming in it. I like that the pool will be open slightly later 830/9 depending on dusk time. Only complaint is how fast some cars go out front in the property. My concern is there is many people in that area on and off during the day including children. But, that is no fault to them. Maybe speed bumps to help slow people down? Overall this is a great location with beautiful views.

Recently spent a few nights at Bluebird Ocean Point, and at nearly $500/night we had some higher expectations that they didn't really deliver on. We still had a fun time and enjoyed ourselves, but given there's a resort fee and the expense of the rooms we expected a little bit better. That being said, we wouldn't turn down staying here again in the future if we really wanted to come back to the Boothbay area. It's nestled in a cute corner of Ocean Point, with a bustling little rural neighborhood surrounding it. It feels old school in a delightfully quaint way. Staff was friendly and welcoming both at the front desk, and at the restaurant. The restaurant staff is actually a hoot, and we really enjoyed dining at the restaurant instead of heading into town for dinner. It's got a lot of outdoor space to hang out - Adirondack chairs and picnic tables along the water. Great place to settle down with or without a beverage and read or just enjoy the scenery. The room we stayed in was fine, though it was insanely humid and bordering on wet in the room. Turning OFF the air conditioning actually dried things out a bit, so that was odd. And please be aware, I'm from Maine originally. I am no stranger to humidity - but it was significantly more humid inside the room than it was outside. So we informed the desk that there might be an issue with the A/C. Our ocean-view room was indeed ocean-view but did look across the road and a parking lot before you could see the ocean. The patios aren't super private, but all the guests we encountered were very wonderful and friendly so that wasn't a knock. Overall it's just expensive for what it is, but it's still a good time. The value might not quite be there but it's a really lovely experience with some wonderful people.

the check-in check-out staff were horrible. Not accommodating at all, did care if we were there or not. Upon check-out, apparently I put her out by asking her to come to the front desk so I could check out. I explained that our stay was not very good. they asked why. I explained and they didn't care AT ALL. We will tell everyone we know to avoid this place.

I have reviewed this place before and I gave it 4 stars. I need to now downgrade based on my recent experience. Since it got taken over by new management, it has lost some of its coastal New England charm. If I were just reviewing the on-site staff, excluding the chef, I would give this another 4 stars. At the front desk, Liam, Sandra, Reagan, and Owen really want everyone to have a nice time, they are super friendly and responsive to everything. The room staff is also very attentive to requests at odd times. And the bartender makes a good drink. The rooms themselves were meh. The new owners made a lot of cosmetic upgrades but not much more. For example, someone went on Wayfair and bought a bunch of furniture. They also designed a shower without a door so the bathroom floor floods. Our room, the Dory cabin, has a sloping bedroom. So cosmetic is nice but structural would have added value to our stay. The toilet paper holder was hanging by a thread, and the hot water heater should have had a high lock on it so kids would not get into that closet. Not that it worked for more than a shower and a half. We lost hot water every day. And speaking of closets, there isn't one. Nor was there a dresser in the room. I'm not asking for much, just something more than an open bar with hangers. They've also taken away the free breakfast with items such as blueberry pancakes made with local Maine blueberries. Now you get a Costco-themed continental breakfast on a table with packaged salmon and store bought muffins. And they charge $15 per person. They also charge a resort fee now, which I just think is obnoxious. Not as obnoxious as the chef who refused to substitute broccolini for truffle potatoes and blamed it on needing to cover costs. Overall we were disappointed and I'm sorry I have to write this review. Hopefully the new owner will change course and not think he's some fancy destination with a Michelin star restaurant.

Clean room, nice staff, beautiful views--but not a good value. At close to $400/night I expected better. I paid for a premium oceanfront view. My porch/deck was not very private, and the first floor rooms are noisy if there's a family above you, as there was when we were there last week. The coffee supplied in my room expired in December 2023. There are no facecloths other than the color black. Have you ever had a black washcloth at a hotel? I haven't. Usually means they are hiding something gross. The housekeeping staff was very. nice and tried to help, but there is little they could do to overcome bad hotel management. Not worth the money.

Very quiet and nice locations. Fabulous views from the room and dining room. The only reason I give 4 stars is room is little dated. Very tiny bathroom. But functional. The restaurant is just too good. We ordered blackened haddock with sweet potatoes and feta cheese croquettes. ..and baby spinach. Forgot to take a picture because I got too busy eating.and it was so so good. We also had lobster roll which had lot of meat.

We went for pub night and sat at the bar. Donovan was amazing. His charm, fast service and one heck of a bartender! The kitchen was quick and really wonderful prep. The hummus, Pita and veg were fresh and a great started. The fish tacos were huge and the haddock was outstanding. There were so many grilled shrimp on the garden salad, it was overwhelming!!!. Each one done to perfection. Great grill and definitely fresh. I have to rave about Donovan's cosmopolitan. It was perfectly prepared. Oh and did I mention the view! Nothing prettier than Ocean Point. We even got to see the fog roll in. Just a perfect evening!

Nick, Katie, and Jennie did a great job assisting us. Had a housekeeping issue and they rectified it right away. This location is nice and relaxing. You are about 15 min away from Boothbay harbor. Came in for a wedding and had a lovely time. Beautiful scenery and they provide a full complimentary breakfast in the morning.

Absolutely stunning sunset spot in East Boothbay, well worth the drive from town for a bite and the view. Service was good, friendly and reasonably attentive. We sat outside on picnic tables across the street during the covid summer which is new for them. We love our light meal consisting of.... Mango salad. Perfect blend of greens w/ mango and a very tasty vinaigrette. Strong recommend. Crab cake appetizer. Good but not enough larger crab pieces, a little mushy. Good spicy dip mayo based sauce. OPI Lobster Stew. Honestly, it's a more of a thin bisque which is actually a good thing. Very tasty without being overly creamy or heavy. Loaded with big chunks of fresh lobster. Delicious and a must have. Check this place out. Arrive in summer at 6pm, sit outside and enjoy the perfect Maine sunset over cocktails and excellent, unassuming foods!

From salad to dessert food was scrumptious! Bread was fresh, great wine selection, heirloom tomato salad was fresh and amazing. I recommend the fish tacos for a dinner. Just the right amount of spice. And don't leave without having the blueberry crumble.

Has lost several steps in last couple years. I'm sure they are blaming pandemic. No housekeeping service during our 3 day stay. I had to send an email and wait til next day for response. Carpets filthy, bath crusty with peeling paint/wallpaper. DR prices sky high. Messages sent before our stay were ignored as I asked for a special anniversary treat for our dinner-- nada. This place used to take care of the little touches- it's why we always returned even though it's quite a plain, older facility.

It was not a nice experience at all. The room was supposed to be a sea view, it was not. Also, the room has window AC units that you could not sleep while it's on because they are so noisy. They did not allow us to check in till 4 pm. When we want to check out the latest, they gave us is 11:00 AM. Even though I spoke with the manager, she said we are fully booked, and we can't give you more than 11:30. During my stay I need to ask questions. I called the front desk (reception) and there was no one picking up the phone at 5 PM. Instead answering machine service answered me. Also, it was way overpriced. Never again.

I had reserved a room in the farmhouse (motel) section of this property for 2 nights through a travelzoo offer that included a rate of $99 per night for the weekend, a $25 dining discount and a few other offers that we did not use. The exterior was not overly impressive nor had the interior been remodeled in a number of years, but it was clean and served our purposes. The entire property is beautifully situated on the water and immediate area along Shore Road offers stunning views of lighthouses, offshore islands and anchored boats. I would not hesitate to return to this resort. We had dinner in the dining room our first evening and thought it was a pretty good value given our $25 discount. Otherwise, I think you would be better off dining at one of the restaurants in Boothbay Harbor. Included in our room rate was a continental breakfast which we could have upgraded to the breakfast buffet for $7. I checked out the buffet and decided to just grin and bear the continental. As it turned out, the continental was pretty sad. No fresh fruit, stale muffins and not much else. We settled on orange juice, coffee and toast.

Great view and location. Very quiet, beautiful view of the ocean/harbor. The people are kind and helpful. We stayed in one of the more economical rooms for around $100/night. We stayed 3 nights. We were looking to unwind so this place is perfect It was very cute, clean and roomy. A little outdated on the furnishings but it was very clean and pleasant. This place has more of a historic inn feel about it. If you want new furnishings and fine china at the inn's reasturant, this May disappoint you. The reasturant connected to the inn serves a fabulous buffet style breakfast. Dinners are above average but not the best available but again it is very good food and the waitstaff is super friendly and attentive. I would definitely stay here again

My wife and I spent a week touring southern Maine and we stayed a couple days at this wonderful inn overlooking the inlet to the Atlantic ocean. We stayed at the Ocean Point Inn in the past and always make a point of staying at this location when we visit Maine. The location, the food, and the atmosphere are all what you expect on a New England vacation. We highly recommend this resort. Terry & Janet - Abington, PA

Went a couple of months back. Reached out to the owners to address the issues. Heard nothing back. Pictures say a thousand words. Stay away from ocean point inn. I do not consider this worth the money they charged. Even the other guests advised us NOT to eat here.

Talk about unexpected! If the makers of the classic movie "Dirty Dancing" needed to re-shoot some film... they could bring their production crews to this inn right now and simply start filming. Blast from the past, retro kind of place. You drive and drive and drive out the peninsula to get to the Boothbay area, then to reach the inn you drive down another rural highway, turning onto a smaller rural road, then carefully curving through an unusual rural residential grouping until the road ends into the water and the inn is to your right. Old school from the get-go, hubby and I at age 47 and 49 where the youngest people we saw there in late June. Beautiful, jaw dropping setting... you are literally very near the eastern most point of land in the lower 48 - and the fabulous sunsets and sunrises that go with such. You check in with the quaint folks who work there, and are given a map to go find your room. Thee are multiple buildings, each with a name, and some private cottages, too. One interesting lesson with this trip.. while traveling the coast of Maine, you are going to encounter lots of lodging establishments that are multi level and do NOT have elevators. Really wishing I had brought less stuff, or at least lighter smaller bags, but thank goodness my husband is awesome. Other interesting point is this inn like many other businesses is not year round. They pretty much operate April - October, which might explain why renovations don't happen. Our room was large, and had a beautiful view where we were directly on top of the office where you checked in of the main house. It was sadly lacking in updates, however, with a very dated country décor from late '80s early '90s is my guess. The bathroom was small, and one of those where you had to shut the door to turn around in there, I really hate that in a hotel, with fair water pressure that wasn't very consistent on temperature. Our rate was only $125, and when you factor in the setting... I'd say that was still a good deal despite the shortcomings. One surprising plus that you wouldn't normally even think about is the room had two luggage stands, that was helpful. Adirondack chairs line the sea walls where you can go and sit and enjoy the sunset in peace. Several folks staying in some of the other buildings were doing so on their porches, etc. as well - it is a very tranquil place. Your stay includes a continental breakfast buffet that you can upgrade to the full buffet (in an adjacent room) for only $8 each - nice to have options. We did also have a light dinner (Margherita Pizza, $10 and a cheeseburger, $11 - we had enjoyed enough lobster by this point in our trip) in their dining room after we checked in and had relaxed a while... it was fine. They had a special deep dish raspberry pie ($6) that with ice cream was really exceptional, I will say. The biggest selling point is of course the fact that it's there, and you don't have to drive the 20+ minutes back to civilization.

We ate outside this evening. Some of our meals were cold and others slightly warm. The swordfish dinner included a very small cold piece of swordfish, fingerling potatoes that tasted so, so, and broccoli that was ice cold. This meal was not worth 28.00. The bill had an error on it. The server was pleasant and worked hard to serve us. Our overall food quality was disappointing. We would not recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I stayed for a couple days for our one year wedding anniversary, it was our first time ever in Maine and we were not at all disappointed! The view from our balcony is amazing and the room is extremely comfortable. Breakfast is great and the staff are all very accommodating and kind. This is a great place to go if you just want to get away and experience the bay community culture and environment.

Catherine B said it well ~ this is a destination where you can relax and enjoy the view in a tranquil setting. Unplug and take a step back in time. The cheery seaside decor and landscape full of colorful flowers was matched by a friendly check-in clerk who happily welcomed us for a one night stay. The sunset over the harbor was gorgeous and included well placed adirondack chairs for up close viewing. From our second floor ocean front balcony we had the full Maine experience of seeing early morning lobstermen pulling up their pots and then watching the fog roll in. Perfectly peaceful! Rooms and breakfast certainly nice if not spectacular. It's all about the setting here! Enjoy!

Had a great time! This is the most relaxing place I've been to in a long time. Spent a week and enjoyed every bit of it. Stayed in one of the lodges that reminded me of the motor lodges of the 1970's, and I mean that in a good way. Very friendly staff, on site restaurant was delicious, beautiful views. If you're looking for a modern 5 star hotel with all of the amenities, this is not the place..but if you want a clean, comfortable place with great people and great views, this is it. I was debating on 4 or 5 stars and was going to go with 4 (no on site laundry), but our restaurant waitress (CeCe) was so cool, I couldn't do anything less than 5 stars and have a clear conscience.

Want to be taken back to a more innocent time? Remember Bing Crosby's White Christmas movie? Visit this beautiful quaint waterfront inn and hotel and you'll be sitting next to Bing and Danny Kaye as you peer through your dining window toward the Atlantic Ocean. Ever mindful of their special late 1800's history, the two owners Tony and Mark, spend their waking moments preserving the best thing about this special area known as Ocean Point Maine. While the ambiance is second to none the food excels. With the private community pier right across the street this completes the picture and adds to your vacation enjoyment. This is not to say that this place has not adopted the best that is modern. Why they just installed fiber optics producing a 5G bandwidth! We should know: we're neighbors and frequently visit the restaurant and our visitors stay at the Inn.

Ok, I can't believe it's been seven years since my last review of this place. What's been missing is a sunset picture, so here it is. We've been coming here for probably 15 years, so I guess we're biased. If you're looking for five star meals, terry cloth robes, and mattresses that Scott Pruitt would ask his AA to look into buying, go somewhere else. If you're looking for quintessential Maine coast, book here. Thirty or forty units, all with ocean views. Lobstermen pulling traps almost all day, swim (if you're a penguin), paddle your kayak, or just watch the tide come in and out. Only thing, don't book 4th of July week because I don't need any competition. They now offer a FULL breakfast buffet, not the typical Hampton Inn one, but real breakfast. Dinner is very good. Go somewhere else for lunch, but BYOB to the seawall for afternoon of ocean watching. You see, big chain hotels can't build this close to the coast. Ocean Point is a one of a kind. Visit.

We arrived to the restaurant and went to the hostess to be seated. We said good evening, but the girl who was working there didn't even turn around to look at us. She was pretending she's busy with something. Her colleague (a waiter I suppose) told her that two gentlemen are waiting for her, but she ignored the information and continued to ignore us. Instead she started to call her colleague "a jerk" so loudly, that everyone could hear it. After really long five minutes or so she turned around, so we said again: good evening, we would like to have a table for two. She didn't say anything nor even looked at us. After another two minutes waiting we decided to leave. I must say I don't remember if I've ever experienced such a terrible service anywhere. It was so insulting. This girl shouldn't work here, but in my opinion it is also managers' fault they allow situations like that to happen. Luckily there are so many other restaurants in the area and new are coming every year. Nice sunset view is not enough. Especially when you can not even get a table and eat there. Avoid this place. For sure I won't ever come back there again.

My family booked a room here for a wedding. They had to cancel 8 days prior to their stay due to a medical emergency (and subsequent death). I can understand that a refund may not have been possible, but they were not even allowed a credit. Don't expect this establishment to be understanding of any emergencies (including death) - even 8 days before your reservation.

The view is breathtaking! The food NOT.....NOT Food portions are small. Cocktails are the tiniest! Group of 7, with varied dinner orders. Pasta with seafood- not property colandered (drained) so the pasta sat on top of flavorless water x2. Duck x2 served with COLD potatoes as was the scallop casserole. 5 smallish scallops in flavorless au gratin dish, barely seared. Veggies julienned were carrots and onions, portion approximately one heaping tablespoon. This place has summer cottage rentals so people do frequent the place. They need to greatly improve all around before any of us will go back with the exception of football season, a burger and big screen TV in bar (tavern) area. Again....dinky size cocktails for the price one can eat better at Tug Boat Inn, Mine Oyster, Ports of Italy on the peninsula OR (off peninsula) - the Petite Bistro in Wiscassett which is 5 stars plus.....oops the LITTLE VILLAGE BISTRO is the correct name.

I've never stayed here, but I go the restaurant regularly when I stay in Bootbay Harbor for vacation durning the month of July. I've been here at least 20 times. First of all, Ocean Point has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. The views from the restaurant are really amazing. It's a very romantic place to visit with your loved one. I find the food to be really good. I particularly love the lobster stew. It's very expensive, but it is awesome and almost always filled with lobster. Surprisingly, even their shrimp cocktail is good. I've been to much fancier and more expensive restaurants, but I've never had a better shrimp cocktail. The mussels are great, and the salads are solid. If you're from out of town and you'd like to try lobster, you can't really go wrong with their "lazy lobster." It's really awesome and a great treat. The service here is mixed. For some reason, many of the restaurants in the area need to hire people from other countries, at least during the summer months (I wonder where the heck all the locals are?). Often, these folks are pretty weak as servers, but not always. Overall, this is a great place. If the service were more consistent, I'd give it five stars.

Ocean Point is very tranquil. A bit off the main road but that's why it's so nice. The inn is nothing extravagant, but very relaxing. Beautiful views of the harbor. Great place to walk around the shoreline or take a walk on the dock across the street. There is also a pool. The owners recognize returning customers. Moderate rooms with cable TV. Also cottages you can rent if you have a large group. The restaurant is nice but skip the breakfast. It's way over priced and not that good. Have been coming here for 3 decades. However I won't spend money in Maine in 2010 after Prop 1. Somehow Maine's libertarianism only applies to straight white people, not minorities.

Stayed here this past weekend, and well ahhhh. Very peaceful & tranquil. We stayed in a 2nd floor suite, with amazing views. The rooms furniture are more up to date then their wallpapered walls. Tear that down and paint the room, will help make the room look less worn down. Bathroom could use a remodel too! King size bed was very comfortable, I slept through the night, which doesn't typically happen when I'm not at home. Their is a restaurant/tavern onsite, food is really good, except the breakfast is not worth 16 a person, go offsite for that. the hostess we had was very accommodating, and helpful. I wish I could remember her name, as I'd give a shout out to her! Overall, was worth the stay here, I hope to visit each year!!

I used to visit Ocean Point inn every year with my family. I sent an email to the inn stating just that and how excited I was to visit, but could only book for one night. The amount of available rooms and houses was plentiful for the weekend so I figured it wouldn't be a problem if I stated my case. My email was responded with a blunt "this is our policy." It seems like they would rather have empty rooms than accommodate a loyal patron.

I cannot even begin to tell you what a wonderful stay we had at this quiet gem on the Maine Coast. The Lodge Staff are so very helpful and knowledgable about the area. If you're from out of state & down south like us, they'll get a kick outta your accent and excitement to learn all about Maine. I've been spoiled with the slow and quiet life on the water and am hooked. The A-#1 vacation for me in the last 10 years. Ocean Point, you're the BEST historical resort with an at-home feel. Your waters are darn cold but with your all-day coffee, it helps to warm up the tootsies after the Polar Bear-like dip. :) I hope to see you again one day......although there's so much do and see in the rest of our good-ol U.S. of A. You've at least been a BRIGHT spot on my Bucket List!!!! Thanks East Boothbay Harbor Region and most especially, all the folks at Ocean Point Inn & Resort! We had a BLAST..... And don't even get me started on the Lobster!!!! ggaaaahhhh....drooool. (imagine Homer with Pinchey)

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful spots you can stay in Maine, and a bargain at that. I'll agree with some of the reviewers that amenities may be lacking but I don't miss them, and we think that the owners have struck an excellence balance between keeping the charm of a traditional seaside hotel and providing must-haves like good broadband and a pool for the kids. With the labor shortage in Maine the dining can be a little inconsistent but we've never had a bad experience and the staff was excellent in all respects when we had a small wedding reception there last year. Overlook the few shortcomings and enjoy a unique and charming experience.

I tried to make reservations along the Maine south coast for a long weekend to no avail.W decided to head further up the coast and found the OPI. We had a suite in the lodge that had a King bed and a seperate living room area. It is not the ritz but it is very nice, could do with some updating but all in all we couldn't have been happier. The room had a direct view of the ocean, very relaxing sitting on the porch. It comes with a free continental breakfast and you can upgrade to a full breakfast for $7, I would recommend doing that. The dinner was very nice as we went for the grilled swordfish, cooked just right. My wife and I had a very nice and relaxing 3 days and will be going back next year

Which room you rent definitely makes the experience. Second floor room had stellar views and ocean breezes. Saying the rooms have been fully renovated is a stretch given dropped ceilings and sad bathroom decor but that's easy to look past when the view is gorgeous and the bed is so comfortable. If you're staying more than a few days, you might appreciate a slightly larger in-room sink/fridge area. Save your pennies on breakfast and go elsewhere as other reviews have recommended; it's ho hum at best. Dinner,however, is stellar. Best scallops and filet mignon we've ever had. Quite a surprise, really, given the 70s era decor. Wait staff is just the right mix of attentive and absent.

If you're looking for a destination where you can relax and enjoy an amazing view of the ocean in a tranquil environment, then this place if for you! I would recommend reserving a room with an unobstructed view of the ocean, since this is one of the Ocean Point Inn's most outstanding features. The rooms are average and the beds are comfortable. The grounds are well landscaped and very attractive. We purchased one of the "packages," which included two breakfast buffets and one dinner. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the host was very friendly and helpful. However, dinner was a different story altogether! We were seated past our reservation time and the service was extremely slow and inattentive the entire evening. It was a rainy cool evening and they had the air conditioning on full blast! When we asked politely if they would turn it down, the hostess was reluctant and moved us to a table away from the blower. Needless to say, we decided to take our dessert back to the room! Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere for dinner. I gave this inn four stars despite the underwhelming dinner experience. The ocean views were spectacular! The location is ideal for unwinding and enjoying the best Boothbay Harbor has to offer!

We were a party of 6 with dinner reservations. We were seated and a basket of 5 rolls were placed on the table. We asked for an additional roll and water. About 20 minutes later, we received water and an additional basket of 6 rolls. We placed our drink and dinner order. Two drinks came relatively quickly. The remaining 4 drinks about 10 minutes later. Our food came, but, our salads never got to the table. This was most distressing for the member of our party who ordered an entree salad. We asked to chat with the manager--who never came to the table. We met him as we were walking to the hostess stand to track down our bill. He basically said there was nothing he could do. The first time we saw the dinner entree salad was on the bill. He did remove it--after we asked to not pay for a meal we did not receive. We were all disappointed with his nonchalant attitude regarding our dinner service and the missing meal.

I've never stayed here since we have a house on the point, but we ate at the restaurant tonight and dear lord it was horrible. Seriously bad. The lobster mac & cheese had no cheese. And it was $20. Nothing was good. Pretty sure the pizza was a frozen pizza from Hannaford's. This place is just bad. There is a reason in my 35 years of summering on ocean point I've only ate here once. Avoid. Seriously.

Had dinner here last night. Crowded but they found a table for us. Hostess was somewhat rude since we didn't have a reservation. Great waiter, very helpful and delivered food promptly. However, shrimp cocktail was undercooked. House salad was similar to a high school cafeteria version though dressing was good. Rack of lamb was okay though the herb crust overwhelmed the lamb flavor. Drinks were good. Fish baked and stuffed was okay. Not a great experience, especially at the price.

My husband and I enjoyed a few days stay in this beautiful, tranquil setting... the view is spectacular, the tranquility, calming and soothing.... just the perfect getaway from the hectic craziness of city living. The accommodations, while comfortable, are definitely dated... very much seasonal seaside traditional. The Adirondack chairs that line the shoreline are a nice convenience...they offer a lovely view of sailboats, lobster boats hauling in their treasure (The lobster here is truly the BEST), paddleboarders and the simple delight of listening to the gentle splashing of the waves against the ample rocky shore. The sunsets are gorgeous. A great place to relax, unwind and enjoy peace and quiet. We enjoyed our walks up to the point, there are some pretty spectacular homes lining the shoreline. The on-site restaurant offers a very nice selection of breakfast delights, including their famous blueberry muffins, the buffet is ample and delicious. The coffee here is also very good! We enjoyed dinner here as well, we were very pleased at the quality of the food and the menu selection, so much so that we ate dinner here three evenings and were extremely happy with each meal. The Lobster Ravioli, the Crabcakes, Lobster Stew, Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Brie and the Blueberry Pie a-la-mode were outstanding. We had heard so much about the Maine blueberries and we were not disappointed, they were delicious! The staff at Ocean Point were friendly and helpful, offering assistance with recommendations for lunch and excursions. Lovely place to visit!
