Being from Arizona we were looking for a place with a view of the water. We found it here at the Inn. First Class property and would recommend highly. The rooms are fantastic-good size and outstanding decor. The bathroom was ideal with plenty of counter space. The private balcony is ideal for cocktails with a view. The staff is extremely... more

Great find on the Maine coast. Rooms were immaculate. Staff was friendly. Grounds and view were fantastic. Rooms came with binoculars to watch the sailboats go by. Hidden pool area was quiet and amazing with an infinity view of the water and a waterfall into the heated water. Above average coast for area, but worth it. Will go back. more

This is not your run of the mill cookie cutter hotel. All of the rooms our tastefully decorated like a magazine. A couple of the rooms have fireplaces and all had a beautiful view of the water. All of the rooms have binoculars in them we even saw a fox.The only negative thing I can say is the beds our... more

It's a small, family run operation with only about 14 units, each with its own spectacular view of a lovely cove. We watched the sun come up on a spacious... more

We stayed here for 2 nights the end of September and loved it. The whole property was clean and made us think it was brand new. The views were exceptional, and the walkway to the chairs by the water made it special. We enjoyed our large balcony even when it rained a bit- it was all very private and relaxing.... more

They had binoculars (nice ones) in the room to use to watch the sailboats go by. The balcony was very private. This was a great... more

We flew to Maine on the spur of the moment without a reservation to get away from the heat for a few days. We looked at half a dozen properties (believe it or not, they all had vacancies) and were very happy to find this one. It's fairly new, with very well-maintained grounds and a heated pool. Our room was... more

We stayed at the Island View Inn for a couple of nights on our 10 day trip to Maine in late September, 2005. We couldn't have been more pleased. The accomodations were lovely, the atmosphere peaceful, and the view (everybody gets the same gorgeous view) was fantastic. The room reminded us very much of the Yacht and Beach Club at... more
