The rooms are very clean and the grounds are beautiful. Close to many beaches, towns and restaurants. However we were not told there were weddings booked for both Friday and Saturday! We could not enjoy the lawn area or the restaurant. And the noise level due to DJ and bands made our evening here disappointing. They were not the peaceful enjoyable time we had planned for. They should warn guests about this prior to booking! Very disappointing! It's almost 10 PM and the loud band is still playing !! read more

What an amazing spot! We come back year after year and there's a reason why! Every room has a gorgeous view of the ocean. Peaceful little island with very friendly staff! The food is amazing at the restaurant and at the deck down at the marina (get the tuna poke bowl)! The bikes are fun to take to explore the island...highly recommend this hidden spot which is close to the busy town of York and the beaches! read more

My wife and I spent a amazing week at the Dockside.Jordan and Lisa along with "Capt Ed" were just wonderful host the breakfast was perfect to start our and by the time we returned the quiet sitting on the deck was a great place to relax.The room was clean comfortable and the view while still in bed watching the sunrise was the best way to start our day.The Dockside has new customers for sure read more

There are so many things positive to say about this establishment. I will skip the usual things like cleanliness and convivial service. Breakfast is amazing and the home baking is a wonderful. When was the last time you sat in a dining room listening to Nat King Cole, Drank Sinatra and Satchmo/Ella over a lemon poppy seed muffin? Rare!! The view of the harbor is 270 degrees including the restaurant. Grounds gorgeous and impeccably groomed. I could go on. Easy access to York but out of the tourist parade. Great place as HQ to explore Southern Maine, Coastal Mew Hampshire and beyond! GO! read more

What a place! Went for a fall weekend trip for some R & R and this was the perfect place. We were greeted by one of the owners at check in and she walked us to our room and shown around the room. A great little touch! We were immediately blown away by the view. When i booked the room I knew we would have a bay view to the ocean, but I didn't expect the view we got...WOW! Because it was October, it was a bit chilly the day we checked in, but that didn't stop us from sitting on our patio for a couple ours in the cool late afternoon mesmerized by the view. The next morning we got up and although still a bit chilly, we opened our door to get the sea air and watch the Lobster boats head out of the harbor for a day of work. It was so beautiful and so peaceful we didn't even want to go look around, we just wanted to stare at the water. The room had a comfortable bed and pillows, it wasn't huge, but big enough for the two of us. We will definitely be back! read more

I stayed here for two nights and it was great. The views were beautiful. The room was very cozy and the employees were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delightful. The options changed daily and you could choose to either eat in the main dining room or your room. There were multiple games and activities provided, including bikes, shuffleboard, badminton, and horseshoes. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a peaceful and scenic place to stay. read more

Stayed here with my wife for 3 nights. First trip to Maine. The experience was top notch. The view, the room, the people, the grounds, the area....all of it was amazing. I've stayed at Ritz Carlton's and this place was a better experience. We will be going back next year. read more

I have stayed here twice (once last month and once about 3 years ago). They have the best location in York- a bit away from town so it's romantic and peaceful, but close enough to things to do. Make sure you check out bicycles from them- they're free and you can have a scenic ride to town. One of my favorite vacations in the US- truly beautiful. Make sure you get a room with a water view. Amazing to wake up to. Great staff too. Couldn't ask for more (except extra toilet paper, which was just a fluke mistake)! read more

My husband and I had a small vacation coming up and he suggested a bed and breakfast. I have never searched for one before or been to this area, so we searched many review sites and looked at about 11 different inns around the area. This one seemed to fit what we were looking for so we booked. We received a prompt email reply confirming our reservation. We even received a thank you email after we arrived home. Our (somewhat old) GPS was a bit off in finding the place, but the signs all around the area clearly marked the way and we were able to find it with no issue. The grounds are VERY well kept and the view is beautiful. Our room was a single (no neighbors on top of us) with a king and a gorgeous view of the water. Everyone we met at the inn was very friendly. We are at the restaurant the first night and everyone there was super friendly and helpful as well. She even helped me decide on a drink based on what flavors I liked AND helped me pick a dinner (everything looked so good I couldn't decide). Even the view from inside the restaurant was beautiful. Everything was very clean and well kept. I like how they focus on recycling and not waste energy. Easy access to plenty of restaurants and shops and a zoo. They even have games and bikes on site for you to use for free (like horseshoe, shuffleboard, bicycles, and badminton). They even held our bags on site while we went into town (check in isn't until 4pm and we wanted to arrive earlier). It was super hot outside and didn't want to leave our bags in the car. Wish we could have stayed there longer. What a romantic, peaceful, and relaxing experience. read more

Dockside Guest Quarters is the perfect place for vacationers who want a quiet spot on the bay with the water 30 feet from your porch.

Courteous staff, spotless rooms. CHeck out the website, it's just that great, only better! http://www.docksidegq.com/ read more

We love this place. Quiet, secluded, on the river/ harbor/ocean. Lovely breezes. Gorgeous lawn views of the water and eateries within walking distance. With Covid precautions they really leave you alone-- which is fine -- but you can access any services you need by phone. Continental Breakfast included to order the night before and carry out in the morning. If you -- like us -- absolutely needed a little getaway from being housebound, this place is paradise. Before you book, check rules dependent on where you're coming from -- and be prepared so you won't be disappointed. read more

Dockside GQ has been our favorite spot for over 20 years. It is beautiful in it's location, simple elegance, and outstanding service. There is no place we would rather be for a delicious meal and comfortable lodging. read more

Last summer we rented a 3 BR cottage overlooking a stunningly beautiful view for one week. We were so pleased that we have reserved for two weeks this summer! A wonderful place for a true family Maine vacation. We went with grandparents, parents and kids. The LR and DR are well furnished.The full kitchen has all the cooking utensils and pans needed so no need to go out for meals unless you want to. Also, an outdoor grill. No need to go to laundramat as it has a washer and dryer. This is a perfect situation for a family. Onsite outdoor games, boat rental and beach paraphenalia make everything so convenient. Kayaking in walking distance and beach a short drive. We plan to return on a regular basis. read more

Fantastic location on the harbor, immaculately clean, fresh guest quarters and very good dining. Maybe not 5-star food but who cares when your table is on a screened-in porch with only a small lawn between you and the water? I reserve 5 stars for true 5 star places. My wife and I loved the dockside and we'll be back. 4.75 :-) read more

Absolutely the BEST place to stay in York ME. Beautiful views of the water, close to the beach, truly the most relaxing spot in ME. Great breakfasts, friendly staff, MUST check it out!! read more

Lovely view and peaceful. Very warm welcome when we checked in and enjoyed the cookies and tea at check-in. Only complaint is that the room smelled very musty like an old basement. read more

This is a delightful New England Bed and Breakfast. Nothing fancy at all but very nice the same. Our room overlooked the bay and it was so pretty rising to the sun in the morning and watching it at at night. the king sized bed was very comfortable and there was also a pull out couch so technically four adults could stay there. Still had window air conditioners and actual keys to the room!!! The breakfast included was delicious and all home made. A pleasure to sit on the porch of the main house and look at the water and eat breakfast even on a rainy morning. Nothing fancy, and definitely no chain hotel but a great place to stay for a change of pace. Several activities on premise including horseshoes, bikes to sue, kayaks, etc. read more

As Yelp says...Woohoo! As good as it gets! Another wonderful stay at the Dockside ... We stayed in a room I hadn't been in before (Rm 118) and it had gorgeous views of the harbor and ocean like the others with a great deck for watching the boats come in and out. The hosts and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the egg and sausage at breakfast and when I asked for plain yogurt instead of what was out, they immediately produced it. read more

This place was wonderful! When I was there is was very hot and thankful they have window air conditioning units that make it very comfortable. The view was amazing. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were very clean. Very comfortable beds. Breakfast was delicious. It wasn't quite as big of a spread as I was expecting but everything they had was wonderful. Wish I was there now. read more
