A beautiful secluded resort just 2 miles from the bustling harbor! Affordable. The complimentary breakfast is by far the most generous I've experienced. See ships in the bay outside your window! more

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of June and while the weather wasn't great, the resort more than made up for it. Frank, the owner/manager and the rest of his staff, were accessible, very accommodating, helpful and attentive. Our room faced the waterfront with a private balcony and had been recently renovated. Everything appeared new - paint, carpeting,... more

I have stayed there 2 years in a row and have already booked another trip. The staff are friendly and helpful, the breakfasts keep you full for the day, and you can't find a room with a better view elsewheres. We stayed there this year with 4 generations, and there is something there for everyone. You can find the type... more

This is simple: The Ocean Gate Resort is the place to stay in Boothbay Harbor. We live in the Lakes Region of Maine and wanted to go someplace close, with lots of options for outdoor activities and private relaxation. The service was exceptional: the owners were ready to help us with our every need. They were friendly, professional, and respectful... more

We were very happy with our stay in a newly renovated waterfront king room. Even though we didn't have reservations, the owner was still able to give us the rate listed on the resort's website without any hassle. The upper floor room was very spacious with a comfortable bed and fantastic view from our private balcony. Even though the weather... more

My wife and I very much appreciated the excellent, friendly service provided by the Gaynors at their Ocean Gate Resort in the Boothbay Harbor region on Southport Island. We would definitely recommend this quiet waterfront resort. more

We read all of the reviews on TripAdvisor - and when we got there - we were completely satisfied. Rooms were basic with an amazing view. Food for b-fast was marginal - but good enough Activities on the resort were great - pool, mini-golf, playground, tennis!!! Plus kayaking that we didn't get a chance to take advantage of. Nearby restaurants... more

The Ocean Gate Resort is the perfect getaway. Located on the northern tip of Southport Island in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, it is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the wondeful scenery. Boothbay Harbor might be the prettiest stretch of seacoast in Maine. There is something here for everyone. The ocean is just steps from your room. Kayaks and canoes... more

After reading the reviews, we decided to book the Ocean Gate in Boothbay for a night on our way to Bar Harbor. We booked a room with double beds and a pull-out sofa in the Cedar building. There was one parking space allocated per room for the Cedar building. The views from the Cedar building were beautiful, but the accomodations... more
