Great stay - easy walk to beach
We enjoyed our stay at Terrace by the Sea. Our room was partial-view of ocean. This motel is an easy 5-minute walk to the beach, and close to downtown shops. The breakfast was great with fresh fruit, breads, cereals. We plan to return to this location.

This inn is overlooking the main Ogunquit River and beach and is in the heart of the center of town, with restaurants and ice cream shops literally around the corner! It was a great spot for me and my 6yo son! Rooms are clean, no frills and not updated, but it was perfect for what we needed.
