Perfect, ideal location for Ogunquit; on the water with chairs on the grass for relaxing, a stone's throw from the bridge to the beach and the Marginal Way, and an equally short walk up the street to all the shops and restaurants. When I booked the room was listed as obstructed view, but when we got our room it was a corner room with full view of the sea. We couldn't be more pleased. Quiet evenings with sounds of the sea for a wonderful night's sleep, super comfortable bed, and a delightful continental breakfast that we could enjoy on the covered, cozy porch. Highly recommend Terrace by the Sea!Rooms: Super comfortable bed, bright white linens, sparkling clean bathroom, view of the sea, quiet night's sleep, just wonderful!Safety: Felt perfectly safe here, no issues whatsoever.Walkability: Easy, short walk to the bridge to the beach, Marginal Way, and the shops. Perfect location!Noteworthy details: Very clean porches and all areas of this expansive property, with beautiful flowers and shrubs blooming and well maintained.

HORRIBLE !! We had stayed here in 2021 after a wedding and really liked it. We then booked this place again for our stay on a road trip. We did not realize that pets were not welcome ( our fault). Once we realized we called to discuss 2 days ahead and 1 day ahead. Both times we explained the situation and neither time were they willing to refund any amount of money and would not even give us a credit to return another time without our dogs. I would never stay here again!

This property is in an amazing location, very close to the beach, and the local restaurants and shops, all very easily walkable. The house overlooks the water, and is set in lovely gardens, with an outdoor patio area and garden seating. On checking in, we were told that our room was a door directly behind us about 10 steps away from the front desk. There is no light inside the door until you proceed down the corridor to the main part of the room. The wardrobe area was another room accessed via an opening in the wall, and was separated from reception by a glass door covered by a curtain. We needed a torch to find the light switch for this area. which is on the opposite wall. The room was immaculately clean. It was very dismal and needed to have the lights on, given that the main window is completely covered by a tree growing directly outside. Another small window allows a view to the ocean. This window is directly next to one of the main doors to the building and had numerous people using that door looking directly into the room overlooking the bed. The blinds allowed through alot of light, meaning the room could not be darkened overnight as exterior lighting kept the room quite light, despite blinds being closed. In the morning, the light from the sunrise shines directly through the blind, and into our eyes the thin paper blind doing little to filter this out. At bedtime we found one of the sheets was badly marked, and had to have this replaced. The noise of someone vacuuming near front desk was clearly audible as we tried to sleep. Breakfast offers a good selection included in the price, with the option to eat on the patio area overlooking the ocean. However the noise from the staff preparing breakfast was quite intrusive so early in the morning.

We enjoyed our stay, just one night. Nice room. The only thing that would have been better was an elevator.

Terrace by the Sea is the perfect place by the sea to relax, refresh and recharge. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The Continental Breakfast offers vast selections of fresh fruit, mini-muffins, breads, cereals and yogurt. You have a nice selection to eat on the terrace on inside this lovely hotel. The staff is always available, they answer questions and responds quickly. The weather did not allow us to use the inground pool, but it was clean and properly maintained with lots of chaise lounges.

I didn’t have a view but room 112 in the main building was very comfortable. Great shower. Pleasant staff. Very nice breakfast spread. It’s well located short walk to the start of the Marginal Way. Restaurants all within walking distance. You really don’t need a car there. The room was on the second floor so be prepared to carry up your suitcase. Highly recommended.

Super cute hotel within walking distance to Ogunquit Beach. Our room had a queen bed (that felt more like full size) and a twin bed. It also had a small kitchenette. The bathroom was a little small but overall great stay. Breakfast is pretty basic with only bagels, toast, cereal and a good assortment of fruit. It also had juice/coffee/tea. There was no breakfast meats. Definitely will stay here again based on the location.

We’ve tried a bunch of locations in Ogunquit but this is by far our favorite. Close to everything so it’s easy to walk to beach, marginal way, perkins cove etc. The staff is friendly and overall we love it.

We got here and we're told our room number was changed. We get no instructions as to how to go to our rooms. To our great disappointment we did not have rooms with a view of any kind. Breakfast at the motel was 3 kinds of cereal, juice tea, coffee, yogurt, fresh fruits and assorted breads and little assorted muffins. You do have a view in front of the motel and a walkway to the beach which is about a mile. On our second day we received a phone call at 1:15 pm that we needed to move. We were to move to the room next door as our room was rented to long standing guests. We we're getting ready to go on a cruise and needed to board in 1/2 hour. After 15 minutes on the phone they decided to move all of our belongings to the room next door. Yes it was done when we returned to the room but the only difference between the rooms was a TV that was a little bit bigger. They do not know how to book reservations apparently.

Terrace by the Sea cancelled our reservation that we had made over 6 months in advance and did not inform us or the service we booked through.(We have the reservation email from Terrace By the Sea and Booking.com still shows the reservation as active.)When we arrived in Ogunquit for our vacation and went to check in, the front desk said the reservation was canceled and they had no room availability. Ended up searching for a comparable hotel for several hours on the first day of our 3 night stay and were forced to spend a lot more money booking the day of. Very bad experience.

The location is within walking distance of the beach. The front yard is lovely with an ocean view and lovely flowers. The rooms are okay. I would say shabby chic is a good description. There is a heated outdoor pool as well. The prices are reasonable and include breakfast in the morning and coffee and tea all day. The staff is great. Very helpful and accommodating. It’s a quick walk to a market and boutique stores. There are restaurants within walking distance as well. We stay there often and feel it’s a very good location.

We stayed at this hotel many times in past years but this past April was our last! We occupy several rooms in April each year for a friends retreat. This April 2023, one of the buildings burned down. Not one person from the hotel staff was on-site. We were woken by another hotel guest that came running through the halls, to notify us. We quickly made our way outside to safety. It was an adjoining building that was completely ablaze. Friends happened to be in a nearby building and we were unaware of their safety. Our vehicle happened to be parked close by the burning structure and as you can imagine it was totaled. Luckily no persons were staying in the building that caught fire. The most disturbing of this entire situation was that the emergency # that was left on the door for guests to call, lead to no contact. Police relied on us, the guests, to tell them that the burning building was unoccupied . The 2nd disturbing thing is that, Management NEVER acknowledged or inquired as to whether we were ok and NEVER mentioned or appologized for our loss. This happened on the first night of our stay and the following night we were to move into the structure that was now totalled and a significant loss. We continually confronted Management about our loss and we were told that compensation would be assured. Then, Management forced us, after having been so distraught from the situation to pack our belongings and moved us into a small corner room for the remainder of our stay, instead of moving incoming guests. In our haste to pack our belongings, we left items behind. When we asked to get those items, the Front Staff declined our request. The staff totally ignored what had happened and tried to cover for their negligence in this situation. There are many options for stays in Ogunquit and Terrace by the Sea, is no longer a choice for us. Management there is new, we felt they were inexperienced and uncaring for their guests and we worry about our safety being there. There was slight compensation for our troubles and how we were put in distress and were advised to seek a lawyer.....this is poor business practice. To this day, I see no information on their website with regard to the fire and condition of their property for guest booking currently. Please use caution here!!!!
