For once, we don’t even care if you doubt our judgment – that would only mean more room for us at this delightful Maine inn, after all.

But we’ll take pity on your poor seafaring soul and let you in on this coastal Maine inn’s best-kept secret: a scrumptious breakfast buffet overlooking Penobscot Bay. Lobster boats cruise past, loaded down with their morning catch – soon to be your dinner – as they take their place in the peaceful harbor. Over on Lincolnville Beach, tiny toddlers with shovel and pail in hand leave their mark on the soft golden sands. And across the bay, Islesboro beckons with a full day of shopping, wine tasting and exploration on its rocky shores!

There’s only way to sum up the sea salt-tinged air, rocky cliffs and vast ocean waters that surround our No. 8 spot: quintessential coastal Maine. From its shuttered Colonial Revival exterior to the charming interiors of its seaside cottages, Newagen Seaside Inn is the definition of New England coastal chic.

Much of the credit for Newagen Seaside Inn’s breathtaking accommodations undoubtedly goes to its prime location. Not only does this quaint Maine inn boast a Boothbay Harbor address, it’s also perched on the very tip of scenic Southport Island. But don’t think for a minute that we’d forget to give Newagen’s innkeepers their dues. The scenery outside may come courtesy of Mother Nature, but Newagen Seaside Inn’s immaculate guestrooms and cottages didn’t decorate themselves! Hardwood floors, hand-stitched quilts and walls awash in coastal-inspired colors blend for a calming effect in these well-appointed Maine accommodations. If Newagen Seaside Inn’s sunny interiors aren’t enough to motivate you, we think a breakfast with a view is just what the doctor – er, innkeeper – ordered. Specialty dishes like blueberry French toast and chocolate chip pancakes are a delightful addition to breakfast staples like freshly-prepared pastries, juice and eggs. And the spectacular Atlantic Ocean views framed by the dining room’s expansive windows make every meal as scenic as it is delicious!

If that’s true, then our No. 17 pick has cornered the market on coastal Maine destinations. The Kennebunkport Inn is the only accommodation in this coastal city’s famous Dock Square, after all!

The Kennebunkport Inn’s central location means that shopping, dining and attractions galore are all just minutes from your door! Dock Square is known for more than just its spectacular coastal scenery; art galleries, museums and one-of-a-kind boutiques all line this landmark’s streets.

Don’t write off Brown’s Wharf Inn as your everyday East Coast inn. If the oversized statue of an old lobster fisherman – complete with equally enormous yellow rain slicker – that welcomes you into this coastal Maine inn is any indication, you’re in for a Maine vacation of grand proportions!

Brown’s Wharf Inn’s modest New England-style exterior belies the surprisingly spacious and luxurious rooms harbored beneath its roof. Flat screen TVs, wireless Internet and private decks with panoramic views of the sail boats and other craft moored in Boothbay Harbor all come standard at this coastal Maine inn. Brown’s Wharf even offers budget-conscious efficiencies for those who prefer to spend the majority of their Maine vacation on water rather than land. The Old Salt Shed Lounge, which takes its name from its former use as – what else – a salt storage shed, is a must on any Maine vacation. This historic Boothbay Harbor eatery is famous for its succulent seafood dinners, so you’d be wise to reserve your space well in advance. You may have to fight through the local crowd to take your seat, but when a Maine lobster – straight off the fisherman’s boats and dripping with butter – graces your plate, it somehow seems worth it!

By definition, an admiral boasts the highest ranking among his or her peers, and we can’t imagine a more fitting description of our No. 19 pick, Admiral’s Inn Resort. This Ogunquit original is a commanding presence on Maine’s coast and an admirable destination for your coastal Maine vacation!

While this coastal Maine inn is already decorated in authentic New England style, we’d like to pin a few more stars – four, to be precise – to its metaphorical chest. Admiral Inn Resort’s all-new amenities, including two heated pools and two hot tubs, could easily take all four. The extensive treatment menu – Swedish and deep tissue massages, hydrating facials and aromatherapy cocoons, to name a few – offered by its day spa, Body Mechanix, could easily merit the addition of even more stars. But we’d rather save them all for the inn’s crowning glory: it’s designation as Ogunquit’s only true full-service resort and inn! While it certainly wouldn’t be as prestigious, perhaps a three-star salute would be more fitting for this coastal Maine accommodation. Not that the Admiral’s Inn isn’t deserving of a full four stars; it’s just that this modest inn is actually three separate properties in one central Ogunquit location! There’s the original inn, with its traditional bed and breakfast-style rooms. There’s the White Rose Inn, acquired in 2008 and added to the Admiral Inn’s selections. And the inn’s most recent addition: a stunning coastal Maine hotel with spacious rooms and access to all the Admiral’s resort-style amenities!
