The room was supposed to be ready at 2pm, but wasn't ready until 4, and was overpriced; the quality did not meet expectations regarding the amount charged per night. The room was dark - better lighting needed - but the view from the balcony was nice. The breakfast food was not good.

We had a wonderful stay at the the Ocean Gate Inn! The front desk employees were super nice and accommodating. The grounds are beautiful, very clean and the flowers are just amazing. They are renovating the buildings & we were in an older section but it was still very clean, we had no issues at all. The bed was comfortable (two double room, sea view) and the bathroom was clean and fit our needs. Our friends stayed in a renovated building and their room was lovely. They had a king bed and an ocean view. There were none available when I tried booking. I wouldn't have known what I was missing if I hadn't seen their room, it was nicely updated but ours was still nice and we have no complaints. There is plenty for families to keep busy with pickle ball, mini golf, lawn giant chess, fire pits, swimming pool, canoes, kayaks and paddle boards and even a playground for the littles ones. We will be back next year and look forward to seeing the renovations! And we want to give a special thanks to Sandra the Innkeeper for her recommendations and hospitality! We really enjoyed chatting with her.

I traveled with my husband and kids for a few days gateway. We really enjoyed the beautiful views from our balcony, fire pits in the evenings, mini golf and the heated pool. We took advantage of the water sports as well and the kids tried the paddle boards for the first time. The proximity to the harbor town was also convenient. This was our first trip to Maine and definitely not last.

Our room was clean, but since it was overlooking the water, had a rather musty smell when we first arrived. We were able to air it out. I notified staff and they informed us that the building we were in is next on the rehab list, hopefully removing that musty smell when first arriving.
The balcony view was first rate. Breakfast was great!

This is an older property that was recently updated in a tranquil setting. Our room was right by the water, but half of the view was blocked by trees. The ac window unit was old and very very noisy.

Before booking this property, I did see a handful of bad reviews. This is because the previous owners obviously did not do enough upkeep on the property. The reviews mentioned new owners and to give them another chance, so we decided to give it a try! We are so happy that we did. These new owners are making a lot of positive changes, renovations and cleaned up the resort and it really shows. Our room was clean, nothing like any of the comments that were left. No spiderwebs or cobwebs in our room and we thought it had been renovated, but we were told it had not been (yet) just new carpet installed. We will definitely return, this place can only get better, I believe in a few years this will be a phenomenal resort. And so close to Boothbay Harbor, our view was fantastic. We did have an oceanfront room and so very happy that we chose this room with a private deck. The fire pits on the lawn and picnic tables were wonderful to have and a dock where you can use canoes and kayaks. The staff is very friendly as well. If you’re on the fence, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Gorgeous water views; can have either a sunset view or sunrise view, both over water, depending on what room you stay in. We were only supposed to stay one night, but decided after being here only 10 minutes, that we’d extend our stay a second night, as it was so beautiful here! Grateful AC was in the rooms and will be back again. Only hiccup was we had to change rooms to stsy the second night, and were given the run-around all day as to when our new room would be ready…VERY frustrating, as we were tired from 2 days of travelling a very long distance. Grounds were lovely (flowers strategically planted), and tons of fun activities, including a HEATED pool! Mini-golf, paddle boards, kayaking, huge outdoor chess, inside checkers, all included in the room fee! The only thing l didnt like was having to leave my drivers license in order to borrow their mini-golf clubs. However, we will definirely be back!

My husband and I stayed here for a getaway. When we arrived Friday, we didn’t immediately notice the issues, but by the next day we found leftover food in the refrigerator that clearly was not ours, including a spilled milkshake that had not been cleaned up. The toilet was also not clean, and the area underneath the bathroom sink was extremely dirty. I brought these concerns to the staff’s attention and showed them photos. While I appreciated that housekeeping came while we were out on Saturday, several of the issues remained when we returned. The food was still in the refrigerator, and the area under the sink was still in gross condition. I was told the cleaners may have thought the food belonged to us, but since I had specifically reported and photographed it the day before, I thought maybe that info would have been communicated. The front desk did provide a $100 credit on our $507 stay, which I appreciated, but I personally just didn’t feel it was enough.

The staff truly were kind people. The property is stunning, but like I said, the pictures are absolutely not what our room looked like. Boothbay Harbor itself was wonderful! I hope management takes guest concerns more seriously and improves attention to cleanliness, because the property is stunning.

The property has been sold as of Jan 2026 and according to office staff, renovations are underway. My room was in good condition with the exception of the privacy blinds which were dusty and inoperable. I was otherwise satisfied with my room, but would have liked to have had a microwave. Staff was friendly and helpful. The amenities are great for families who want to have fun with their kids.
Buildings need to be overhauled
and hopefully the new owners will bring new life to the rooms.
I would like to come back next year to see how renovations have progressed. This inn and the beautiful woodsy setting is a diamond in the rough.

The walls are pretty thin. The couple staying next to me fought off and on a large portion of the evening, as in screaming at each other. I could also hear the folks below me. And somewhere in the building there were children that were pretty loud as well. I’m glad mostly everyone was having a nice vacation but some type of insulation or ways to mitigate the noise would be a great idea for management to implement .
I loved having the opportunity to paddle board but it’s pretty obvious that equipment hasn’t been updated, cleaned, or replaced in a while.
The actual room was very clean, and the view was incredible. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.

More like camping than a resort

Dark and dingy room. Very very outdated. It was not the cleanest. The 24/7 coffee pot was always empty in the morning before breakfast and no tea water available. It was difficult to get hot water to shower. It was a long dirt road through the woods to get to the “resort”. It was very hard to find a trash can and they were full. Outside by the dock smelled strongly like sewer. This was definitely more a camping vibe than a resort. Also there is not anywhere to get food less than 20 minutes away and more likely 30-40 minutes. Pack your pb&j. We will not be back.

The room was large and roomy. The bed was comfortable. The room temperature was easy to adjust. We had a corner room with a patio facing the harbor. Our door had a sliding screen door , which none of the other units in our building had, and it was nice to have the fresh Maine air breeze. I enjoyed my early morning dunkin ( purchased the night before) before the rest of humanity was awake. Breakfast items were hot and there were many additional choices. Dinning room was comfortable and clean.
There were a few disappointing things, however. I was aware that the establisment was somewhat rustic, but some upgrades would be in the best interest of the owners and patrons. Our parking area was on such a slanted slope, it was difficult to get in and out of our vehicle and there was high probability of car damage by other vehicles hitting each other by swinging doors. There was \"garbage\" on the ground just outside the dining hall in the tree area...disposable forks and knives AND a disposable used woman's product!!!! This was still there the next day!!!! There needs to be more attention to little details! Our shower curtain was NOT clean. It had pink staining all along the lower portion. This is unsanitary and is caused by a microbe. Shower curtains are not that expensive and should be bleached or replaced occasionally. Our towels had multiple yellow stained areas.... Needless to say...we did not shower!
I might recommend this establishment to others but would warn them about the iss

This is my 4th stay at Ocean gate. The views and location are amazing. Check in was easy however we asked to switch rooms. I paid for an ocean view and the patio was facing the ocean but the view was obstructed by trees. I don’t think this room should be sold as “ocean view.” It was no problem to switch. The rooms are ok. Beds are ok. They are clean. Definitely an “old musty” smell. Each year I was told by staff that this resort is more of “camp away from home.” And “we have plans for renovations for next year.” Heck last year there were signs everywhere with pictures of what the rooms would look like. It’s looked the same every year. There is a nice pool. Tons to do with kiddos. Mini golf. Kayaking. The breakfast is the biggest plus. Stephanie told us about the local general store. They had amazing sandwiches. Short drive to Boothbay. I knew what I was getting. I was just hoping for actual renovations this time.

The walkway into our room was missing stones between the paver making a huge tripping hazard. The kayaks should be scheduled so others have time. One groups used them all day making it limited for others. Not enough fire pits. The pool was great! The view to the harbor is getting blocked by trees and they could use some trimming and weed removal behind the unit at the bottom of the hill closer to the harbor. Still would go there again!!! Would recommend, the breakfast is also great!

Ocean gate is in an incredible location. The facilities and rooms are a bit dated, but the views and the location more than make up for it.

good location but old rooms and our waterfront room had trees directly in front making it not worth the high season pricing

Outdated and in need of remodeling. Our first room was not what we expected. It was outdated with rust spots on the door frame of entrance and frame of drop ceiling in the bathroom. The bathroom faucet had some weird damage that looked like it was melted. The slider leading to the porch was held shut with a stick because the lock was broken. We decided we weren't staying. The woman at front desk gave us a tour of a different room. Since it was getting late, we decided to stay. This room was much better than the first until we tried to sleep. The light from the front door was shining through the door window all night making it difficult to sleep. And had no switch to shut it off. Sleepless, I decided to turn off air conditioner in the middle of the night. I turned on the light to see how to shut ac off when I noticed what looked like black mold in the vent of AC unit. I opened the front panel were I thought I would find a filter, instead I found no filter and the fins covered in grime. There were also crumbling grout in bathroom floor and black mold behind bathroom sink. I was told they had a fishing pond that was stocked. When I drove by, I could see it was small and over grown with no place to fish from. It looked like no one had used it in a long time. The laundry room was out side the building, not indoors. The mini golf section needed updating. The staff was friendly, but the place was lacking proper management and maintenance.

Excellent spot. Highly recommend with a lot of activities for families. All activities and breakfast included in price. We went sea kayaking, swimming and did mini put.

This hidden gem is exactly what we were looking for. While the room was bare-bones, the property was spectacular. The resort is quintessential Maine. Stunning views of the cove and surrounding property, are worth the visit alone. We wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast buffet was delish, and the amenities (pool, shuffleboard, paddling and dock views were a nice bonus. We made reservations to come back. I great place for a reset.

Great place to stay. Staff was very nice.
The room we had was Huge. Nice updated bathroom.
The only thing, I would say is that they should really invest in some new doors.
The front door had a couple of cracks and could see outside. The back door you had pull really hard to open.
Other than that, I would stay again.

Fine, but not what I expected.

The property is far more rustic than the pictures suggest. Also, it is a bit run down. Our room had a fantastic view but was definitely in need of some repairs. It was fine for our needs but I expected more for the price I paid.
