Ocean Point Inn & Resort

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!

Stayed here this past weekend, and well ahhhh. Very peaceful & tranquil. We stayed in a 2^nd 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!

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 usually rent a house when we go to Ocean Point every couple of years. You can’t beat the location. The Inn is the only commercial establishment. Lodging is basic. The restaurant is not a good value but we go every now and then because it’s there, and comfortable. Staff is a mix of Eastern Europeans and local kids, not professionals. Cook your own lobsters or go to East BB or BBH for better dining. But you can’t beat OP for unlimited shore access and family friendliness.

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)

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.

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.

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

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.

Wonderful place. Right on the ocean. Nearly every room has an ocean view. Reasonable prices. Not real fancy, some of the rooms are single unit cabins, but all are neat, clean, and well-​mainained. Terrific adirondack chairs from which guests can command the waves (though the waves may not always obey). Complimentary coffee and muffins starting at 6 am. Full restaurant and bar. Friendly, low key staff. Outdoor pool and hot tub, fishing pier. Put your kayak in right in front of the hotel and paddle around the island. If you are lucky you may see a sea otter or harbor seal. Lobstermen perform every morning for you. Quiet.

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.
