Katherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the relaxed atmosphere and close proximity to a pristine, expansive beach. The accommodations were comfortable and attractive. Our breakfast first rate. The neighborhood was quiet, quaint and welcoming. The only issue we had was a loud fan right outside our bedroom window. We would definitely return and simply choose a different room.

Higgins Beach Inn is a beautiful property with a lovely staff. It is close to the wonderful Higgins Beach and a short drive to other southern Maine attractions. The Inn has a historic feel but is very clean. We will definitely be back!

Nice location and cozy room. Front desk greeter seemed distracted with her phone, not friendly and disheveled looking for the front desk. Restaurant staff was awesome in comparison. Issues mainly with checkin otherwise a good stay.
