Beautiful place to stay along coastal Maine. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. However, the bed in room 201 is in dire need of replacing. Sagging really bad on the left side

The beach house was in an excellent location right across the street from the beach and not too far from downtown. The decor in the room was cute and the beds were comfortable, but the bathrooms do need to be upgraded. Staff were super nice and great coffee and tea station!

The Beach House in is right on the water. It is a beautiful inn, inside and out. I gave it 3 stars for property condition simply because everything in my room was lovely except the carpet was heavily stained. It was a little bit disappointing because I treated myself to this nicer stay. It is close to town and the staff was great.

The view was great. Lobby area nice. Room was nice size but needed updating. Curtains were torn. Not all the blinds worked. Shower area grout was not clean. Bed on one side was sloping and slanted Pillows were so soft. No other pillow options. Light in entryway to room had no switch. You had to turn it off by undoing the bulb

This is the second time we have stayed at BHI. We absolutely love it. It is clean, warm, and homey. It is the perfect location and makes it easy to get around without being in the middle of hustle and bustle. We also traveled with our two young kids and they loved it as well! Plenty of room for all of us!

Wonderful stay

We spent two lovely nights at Beach House. The room was wonderful, bright, airy and with an amazing sea view. Nice selection of teas and coffees but no breakfast available. Would definitely recommend.
