We enjoyed this eclectic inn. The collection of items made visiting the property interesting as well as the great view of the harbor It was pleasant waking to the sound of the harbor coming to life in the morning as we enjoyed our host's hospitality. A close walk to town was enjoyed even though we got caught in a unexpected... More

Thanks so much for the kind words. We're always happy to hear that great memories are made with us, even in a rainstorm. We're fortunate to have such incredible views to enjoy every day during season, and enjoy sharing those views with guests. We've got great things planned for 2013, and hope to see you again soon.

It was extremely overpriced and imagine one of your worst lodging experiences. The staff was unfriendly, inattentive and all other attributes that would be the antithesis of delightful inn-keepers. The room was dirty, filled with cobwebs and moldy. We were in the room that allowed dogs. The floor was too grimy to lie on. The small pile of ragged towels... More

My wife and I just finished staying at the Sur La Mer Inn. We've been going there for about 10 years. We absolutely love it! We're partial to The Penthouse room on the third floor as it has a private deck overlooking the harbor. You have a 180 degree unobstructed view of the harbor, which all guests can also enjoy... More

Dave & Lisa - we should give you your own set of keys!! It's always great to see you coming back to spend time with us...although we never see you! The Penthouse is indeed a great place to capture some quiet time and incredible bird's eye views of the harbor. See you in summer! More

Over-priced for what is offered. Antiques and charm are not excuses for old, worn, and out dated. Moldy. Service at minimum. Lack of friendliness and defensive, grumpy and attitudes. The restaurant has food from Sam's Club at gourmet prices. Skip it.

Best view in town, next to sparkling ocean. Splendid, peaceful terrace for sunning, sipping, vegging out. Friendly, thoughtful and fun innkeepers. Tasty breakfasts, comfy beds, sunny, breezy rooms. Nice and quiet and convenient walk to town. Close enough to town to explore it, but far enough away to enjoy Maine's beauty and to have some serenity.

Only you know the best spots! And right on our patio overlooking the harbor is one of them. We love seeing you every year and look forward to another few days with you this season, full of laughter and good wine. More

Although the location of Sur La Mer is okay, the B&B is disappointing. It has been allowed to become a little run-down, is not well furnished, and has poor service. You would do better to look elsewhere in Boothbay Harbor.

Everything you read on here is true. The location is exceptional-within walking distance to town (convenient as you avoid the parking headaches); the views, to die for. The Inn reminds me of a tired old lady--the porch is in disrepair, the furniture rusted. Our room had excellent views of the bay but adjoins the patio--so needless to say we kept... More

My husband and I recently visited Booth Bay Harbor, Maine and stayed at Sur La Mer Inn. We were greeted by Jay and given a tour of the inn and the grounds. Our room was on the second floor with a breathtaking view of the Harbor. So peaceful and tranquil. We enjoyed Jay’s tasty breakfast out on the back patio... More

It's hard to write this, because I don't want it to sound too overboard. But, we just finished our stay at Sur La Mer, and this Inn is the best!!
