What guests think

Island View Inn earns strong praise for spotless, spacious rooms with coastal decor and spectacular bay views, beautifully kept grounds, and a striking infinity pool, delivering a peaceful, relaxing stay that feels thoughtfully designed and well maintained.

Guests frequently compliment the friendly, accommodating staff. The location offers tranquil waterfront scenery with easy drives to Camden and Rockland, though it is not walkable to restaurants or shops. On the downside, on-site dining is minimal and many wish for in-room coffee or a microwave, with a few reports of noise between rooms and the 'heated' pool sometimes feeling cool. Expect a serene, well-kept coastal retreat.

Beautiful room on the first floor! Looks out over the water. The infinity pool is beautifully landscaped and very private. The hotel itself is well kept and clean. Staff is very nice.

The view of the bay from the 3-season porch in our room was beautiful. We enjoyed having coffee in the morning and wine in the evening with a spectacular view. The room is nicely decorated in cute nautical decor. The infinity pool is heated and we enjoyed conversation with other guests. Clean and quiet, this is a great place to stay. We liked it so much, that this was our second time staying here. Please note that this is a motel and there are no grills, in-room coffee maker or microwave, or laundry facilities which make it better suited for a weekend stay rather than a full week. That said, I would go back again and again.

Beautiful location overlooking the bay and ocean. There is a heated pool and an open area right by the water with chairs. Close to Rockland. There are breakfast places nearby (via car). The room is nice and clean. Everything worked as planned.

Nice location. Room was beautiful and well maintained. Only complaint is that the pool was not very warm. The watch of my husband marked it at 73 degrees, not quite as warm as i would expect for a "heated pool"

This property markets on their website that they have an outdoor heated pool that opens in May. I chose to stay here and drive 5 hours so we could use the heated pool. It would have been a lovely time in the afternoon except they do not hear it at all. The water was freezing. I don't know why the website markets this as one of the main attractions of the property and presents false information.

Lovely room—above expectations. The wine glasses in the room were a nice touch, but were plastic (not a big deal) and not clean (big deal). Plastic is harder to clean than glass, but it matters. Hope they’ll pay closer attention to this. Otherwise—very pleased with all.

I have to say that the Island View Inn was the cleanest, and best maintained hotel we stayed in during our recent week long trip to Maine. The view was great, the quality of the hotel is just a step above any other from that trip. I Can't compare it to others in the Rockland area, since we didn't stay in others, but compared to other locations in Maine, the quality and value was a level above those in similar or even higher price range. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

My wife and I stayed there for 2 nights in June and were very happy with the accommodations. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. The whole place looked new or completely renovated. It was very peaceful and the view of the ocean and island was beautiful. Room was tastefully nautically decorated. Close to restaurants, shopping, pubs, etc. Very nice and friendly staff. This was a very stress free and peaceful getaway. We will be going back before fall.

I book our trips and there is a joke in our family about some of the bad hotels I have booked in the past. Well this trip redeemed my bad choices in the past. My wife was raving about this place. She said I hit a homerun. I would agree. The staff was super friendly. The room itself was elegant without being ostentatious. The enclosed porch/balcony was very comfortable with spectacular views of the ocean.

Awesome hospitality at the inn. Not only were they accommodating and helpful but just generally nice people overall. They allowed me to leave my sea kayaks in a safe and secure spot overnight while we took a trip out to Nebo Lodge...they also helped jump my dead vehicle in the morning to allow myself and my fiancè to go home! Lovely experience and the infinity pool is amazing to boot!

The most quaint spot you can imagine. I want to gatekeep but honestly it deserves all the praise! Outstanding service, clean amenities, quiet and serene space. Short drive into both Camden and rockland so not exactly walkable to restaurants and shops but the property makes the short drives worth it. So cozy and cannot say enough good things - just know you will have to drive to get to shops, restaurants, walkable streets etc.
