The perfect winter getaway! The resort was dog friendly and accommodated our every need. Our room was spacious and very clean. We were allowed to bring our pups to dinner/lunch/breakfast and everyone - guest & staff, greeted them with a friendly attitude. The food was AMAZING and we were lucky enough to attend the Seafood Event held outside amongst the numerous fire pits and ice bar.

Truly one of a kind...great facilities, rooms, setting, food, and staff. We have been there multiple times and will return. Very pet friendly...and equally "people friendly". Be sure to try Seaglass restaurant for any meals breakfast to dinner. Great food and attention to allergies, in our case celiac/gluten free.

Our Virtuoso advisor (who grew up in Maine) recommended we try this, when we told her we needed to spend a night near Portland, since she knew we really enjoyed the nearby Cliff House. We figured we'd try it, in hopes of bringing the whole family (and dogs!) at a later date, and I believe we will. Although the Cliff House may be more "stunning" and has two (much larger) pools, this has a more quaint Inn feeling, just a short walk to a real (State) beach, that's open to leashed dogs from 10/1 - 3/31 (not spring or summer!) each year. The staff members with whom we interacted were all very nice, we really enjoyed our drinks (and then dinner) at the bar, and the fitness room (while small) is very well equipped, with 2 Peloton Bike+ models (strapped, so no clipped shoes required or usable, despite what it says on the website). Our ground floor room was also quite nice. The bathroom was a little dated and it didn't get a lot of natural light, but the (shared) walk out porch was perfect for sitting while enjoying an espresso or tea and looking out towards the sea. Only really "complaints" were that the room upgrade (which should have been automatic with our very reasonable Virtuoso rate) was not offered at check-in, until we explained our plan to checkout the resort for potential future visits (we were also supposed to have a $100 credit applied to our dinner bill, but actually had to call back after reviewing the folio that was emailed to us to get it refunded - that's not very cool)... and somewhat strangely, when the lobby coffee station (expresso/tea only in rooms) ran dry, my wife mentioned it to a staff member, but no one ever refilled the urn and they seemed completely unphased when we (re-)explained that it was empty when offered coffee at check-out. I guess they just make one batch a day?
