My family of 5 stayed here 28-30 Aug 12 and are so glad we did. The location is superb and the hostess, Lisa, truly makes you feel like family. We felt like we were staying with an old friend vs. being a customer. You are a short walk from everything and will get great recommendations from Lisa. We will always... More

Richard's By The Sea was exactly what we needed. We live in Boston and don't have a car so taking the "train to Maine" is super easy. The Motel is a 5 minute walk from the Amtrak Station. We didn't have a ton of money to spend eating out, so we brought frozen/marinated foods from home and used their grills... More

The town is perfect for a young family! It has rides, an arcade, miles of beautiful beach, and fantastic restaurants. Richard's was clean and... More

When you stay there, you don't feel like you're in a hotel or motel, it feels cozy and gives off a "home" feeling. The building... More

We stayed at Richard's By the Sea in July of 2011. This hotel ended up being the jewel we found just before leaving. First impression was of a very friendly owner who was most accomodating over the phone. Needless to say, in person she was charm itself.. We felt just like home, welcomed in the owners home in fact. Our... More

I have been staying at Richard's by the Sea for many years and it is my favorite place, it is like my home away from home. Lisa and Paul are always very courteous and helpful. The rooms are always clean and every year they do some sort of updates, like fresh paint, new counter tops, etc. I wouldn't even think... More
