This is my second stay at Ocean gate. Last year when I checked out they said they were doing a lot of remodeling over the winter. I didn’t see anything better honestly. The location is amazing. I can only imagine the place would be amazing with alot of work. The breakfast is the best part. Eggs bacon sausage and pancakes. Not to mention bagels toast cereal and fruit. Can’t beat that. The use of kayaks and canoes is great! The location itself is why I came back. The rooms need alot of help. Ceiling and walls were cracked. Fixtures rusted. I stayed three nights and only one night had available firewood for the fire pits. Easy drive to Boothbay. Would I stay again? Maybe if they really did remodel like their signs display all over the “resort.”

Amazing Hotel
One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was extremely helpful and easy to get in contact with, they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I went with my husband and 5 kids. We went kayaking, played mini golf, ping pong ball and some other games — all included at no extra fee. Breakfast was the usual hotel breakfast, lots of space to eat. Beautiful scenery right on the waterfront. Lots of beautiful flowers too. Our room was nice, clean and had an outside seating area overlooking the ocean. I only wish the beds were more comfortable and the shower easier to figure out how to use… but those are minor details.

Not recommended
Nothing like what the photos show. Never had towels at the pool, rust on baseboard heating as well as towel rack in room. Hole in bathroom door, missing lightbulb in bathroom, empty shampoo/soap bottles in shower. Unable to lock our sliding door/screen. When I changed my view from “resort” to “summer camp”, things seemed better…

I felt mislead by the photos from Expedia and the property. I vacated the resort one day early and at a loss because the property and Expedia did not feel the need to refund me. The first night stay I couldn't sleep because of the smell (terribly musty). The bathroom smelled like the septic was backing up. The screen doors flew open as the hinges were not affixed, (I guess) and the screen door on the balony had a ripped screen. The ice machine was not working and while it was repaired before we left, I took notice to the fact that it was filthy with bird droppings a I mean a lot! The bathroom is tidy with not one place to set your belongings maybe I'm being picky but for the price I paid I had a much higher expectation. I will say the view from the balcony was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. However calling and emailing is of no use, no one will answer, ask Expedia they told me as well no one answered them for several days.

Dated property
We stayed at water facing property. They had kayaks and some other fun things for children to play with, which is good thing. Rooms were dated and bathroom was not really clean. They had mold in shower, sink did not drain water properly. We asked to change bedsheets, but they said it's done only if we stay for over 4 days. I understand going green and saving water, but if we need sheets changed, we need sheets changed. If the prices were maybe half of what they offer rooms for, the resort would be ok. But for over 250 a night on weekdays, its not worth it.

This property has a 5 star view and location, but a bit run down and needs some maintenence, 2 stars on facility and amenities. Good for a short stay, not a long stay. "Resort" is not the correct name for this location, it's more of a lodge or cabin-like vibes.

We booked a fairly last minute trip. Had been hoping to get an airbnb but ended up at the Ocean Gate “Resort.” While everyone was super nice and accommodating, resort is definitely not the word that I would use. It’s more like glorified camping. Everything is old and although they do their best to clean it, it’s unkempt. We had two rooms and both wreaked of mold and mildew. I understand that it’s a very humid location, but having carpeting in each room only made things worst. The carpeting was actually wet from the moisture! We had a strict “shoes on!” at all times policy. Things also seemed antiquated. Tried watching some TV on a rainy evening, and they didn’t have a smart TV to connect to. First world problems, I know, but it was a pretty pricey place for a “resort” that couldn’t offer the simplest of accommodations. They did have a decent complimentary breakfast and offered kayaks, paddles, and bikes for free which we did take advantage of. We also paid for a water view which was completely blocked by poorly maintained bushes so it felt like we were sold a bill of goods. Despite being organized, staffed by nice people, good recreational activities (bikes, kayaks, paddle boards), and being a quick drive to Boothsbay Harbor (10 mins or less), we will not be returning to Ocean Gate Resort.
