Inn Details

On the white sand beach of Saco Bay, our Victorian cottage bed and breakfast offers dramatic ocean and island views, quiet surroundings with comfortable rooms, suites or apartments.

Wake up to spectacular sunrises and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the sea. All are within the small historic community of Ocean Park, tucked between the towns of Saco and Old Orchard Beach.

Our continental breakfast is served daily on the dune front enclosed porch.

    Review Nautilus By The Sea, Ocean Park, ME

    Photo Album

    The Penthouse, our largest suite perched on the top floor with all windows overlooking the beach and Saco Bay, offers the perfect hideaway.  The Tower rooms have their own sitting area in the turret overlooking the ocean and have been favorite room choices for 50+ years.
    The Nautilus is by the sea with nothing between it and beach except for a small sand dune adorned with sea grass and sea peas.  A boardwalk leads from the sidewalk up the dune to the beach.
