The Inn at Ocean's Edge

What a lovely spot nestled away down the long driveway only 15 minutes from Camden Harbor! When we made our reservation for a quick 1 night getaway (too short!), I had included a note that we were celebrating our anniversary. Not only did Erica at the front desk wish us a Happy Anniversary during check in but we also had the sweetest note left in our room to wish us many years of happiness, etc. along with a surprise treat in our mini fridge. Seriously the sweetest touch to our stay! :) The staff was great during our stay and the included breakfast was wonderful! |We stayed in the hilltop second floor and the view was just as beautiful if we had stayed in the main building. We took advantage of the hot tub, infinity pool, and sauna and took in the incredible views around the property. What a hidden gem this place is. A first trip to the Camden area for us and we'll definitely return! Thank you so much to the staff at the IOE - all of those small touches make you so memorable and we'll be spreading the word! Thank you! :)

We stayed 2 nights in the pool house at the end of September for our honeymoon. Upon arrival we found a lovely treat and note to welcome us in our room. This location is so gorgeous, couldn’t recommend it more. While the pool wasn’t heated, we still enjoyed a nice hot/cold cycle between the sauna, pool and hot tub. You can take the stairs down to the pebble beach and watch the lobster boats go by. Breakfast was delicious and the service was great. Our only regret is not staying longer. Would absolutely come back!

Location was stunning set on the ocean with spectacular views. Room are ok, large and clean but here’s where the whole thing fell apart for us||Day in arrival after a 9 hour drive, was looking forward to a nice shower, only to find no shower gel in the room. Asked at reception the next day to be promised it would be refilled, upon return to our room later in the day, still empty. Had to ask again and this time it was filled at the end of day two of a three day stay. No attention to detail. Given the refillable container was completely empty I would suggest it hadn’t been checked for weeks. ||Afternoon cookies are served from 2pm, on day two of our stay we went to reception (not knowing the 2 o’clock start for cookies) asked the guy at reception who promptly and assertively expressed that we were 3 minutes early and we could wait. The message in itself was fine but the manner of delivery was short and not in line with a $600 per night stay.||Day three breakfast, we understood it was a 7am start but turns out it was 7.30. We arrived at 7.27 and joined a small line up of people waiting. Staff milling around with no acknowledgement of our existence. I asked if it was self seating and was told we open in two minutes. Again the manner was blunt. It feels like all the staff belong to a union and will only work on the dot of start time and not before. It would have been very easy just to say, take a seat and we will be right with you but no we stood and in the strike of 7.30 the staff spring into action. ||Food was great at breakfast, no compliant there at all. ||If the attitude could be managed this would be a premier location for seasoned travellers, however based on what we experienced our business goes elsewhere next time in Maine.

A very cute little hotel with very cozy rooms and well maintained grounds. The rooms were well appointed and the beds were comfy. The highlight of this property is the made to order breakfast included with your stay each morning if you book directly with the hotel. Every member of staff was very kind and truly went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. They do not offer dinner service onsite so you will need to head into town however the front desk provided us a thorough list of recommendations and the places we tried were truly fantastic! I would most certainly stay again. My only feedback is the pool is advertised as “heated” but they heat it only until about 75 degrees, so it can feel a bit chilly.

Reference:  Stay 15-19 June 2025 Once again, we had an exceptional experience in late June 2025 at the beautiful "Inn at Ocean's Edge" where the management and staff team always provides consistent, exceptional guest experiences!  This is an extraordinary achievement over at least the last 12 years we have been guests.  And importantly, the team did not disappoint during our last stay when we visited with friends for four days! From the extremely comfortable rooms, complete with deep, dreamy mattresses and luxury linens, to the delicious afternoon cookies and morning breakfasts, to the beautifully maintained, tranquil gardens and pool, the environment is perfect!  Ocean's Edge transported my wife, our friends and me to a place where we could thoroughly immerse ourselves in the local area, unwind and enjoy our vacation experience on Maine's beautiful coast. Most importantly, the team is dedicated to unfailingly providing guests with friendly service, never intrusive, always laser-focused on the specific request.  "Can do" is clearly the team's objective! The team also knows the local area well and makes wonderful recommendations for sightseeing not always on tourist "must see" lists, like the Penobscot Narrows Bridge at Fort Knox, Prospect, Maine. Very few vacation resorts truly provide consistently exceptional guest experiences, year after year.  The Inn at Ocean's Edge is one of our "go to" vacation spots. We enjoy it so much, we already have reservations for late June 2026! If we could rate the management and staff team, accommodations and property a 12 out of 10, we would!  The total guest experience keeps us coming back year after year and highly recommending the resort to family and friends!!

I typically do food reviews, but considering how great our stay was, I wanted to let others know as well. The rooms and service were incredible. An additional surprise was the breakfast that was included was made-to-order and included a lot of incredible options. We stayed mid-week which was cheaper. The grounds and views of the ocean were amazing!

The staff was very friendly and the Inn was on a beautiful property which offers scenic views. Our room was quite large but the TV was quite small, may 30 inches, and the bathroom outdated without a walk in shower. Would have been good for a bath though. Good deal for the money though.

If you are trying to 'get away from it all', this is the place for you! Situated right on the Penobscot Bay, the Inn is located far enough off of the highway that there is no road noise, adding to the serene surroundings. The rooms are plush with every amenity you could hope for. Breakfast is superbly prepared offering fresh and local enticements. The infinitely pool is delightful, giving one the feel that you are about to float off into the bay. And don't miss getting a massage! Tracy was fabulous! If I could pick only one spot to escape to each summer, this would be it! So far away from DC in every way!
