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

Beautiful resort in the forest

The ground were beautiful and we had a lovely stay. I do wish there was coffee in the room or longer hours the coffee was available up front, but it wasn't a huge issue, and we loved staying here.

Property and rooms are pretty dated. Handrails and stairs leading to upper floors are not very safe. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great as everything was homemade including real maple syrup. It was economical for being on the water so I would probably use again. Staff were friendly and helpful.

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.

Lots of amenities such as heated pool, mini golf and access to kayaks/paddleboards. Good breakfast. View was amazing from part of the property, however from our room the trees & bushes needed to be trimmed & thinned out. What could of been an incredible view of the harbor was a view of bushes- disappointing.

I spent a couole nights there with my son. I like the view from the room. I like that had a deck. The room was clean. The property is super nice. But the rooms could use some updates. Its pretty dated. But well kept. It was vreaksfast included which was great..simple but enough. Since we then headed to boothbay harbor dor dinner. Was a couple mikes away. Vlose enough. We took the kayaks on the girst day. Played ping pong (they need to get new rackets). The pool was great. We spent a whole day there. Nice. Quiet. And we got to see a falli g star at night too. Was awesome. We enjoyed our stay.
