The property was nice. The buildings were dated, but our room was private, quiet and had a porch with chairs overlooking the bay. The stairs and railings down to the water needed replacing. They were a little scary.
A perfect escape for folks looking for an easy drive to one of the closer spots in Downeast Maine.
Friendly staff and excellent breakfast for sure.
Tennis courts and basketball rims need some TLC

Pet friendly. Very old. Too expensive for quality.
We liked the added amenities of the property with access to kayaks and canoes. It was in a nice location overlooking the water. The place could use a little TLC, it had a campground feel to it. The breakfast was good!
Loved the setting. Outside property was beautiful. Access to Kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards
The room we had needed upgrading and initially smelled musty. Once we opened door for awhile the must smell subsided.
Front desk staff member could have been more welcoming and when we left on Sunday I said just dropping off key. His response was Ok. Not Ok how was your stay or something to show an interest.
Our room did not look anything like the picture on the website.
Basic breakfast, loved the blueberry pancakes
We would go back maybe try to get a room with a deck not just a balcony.
The beds are very comfortable, the view was lovely from our room, staff was friendly and helpful, no gluten-free options for breakfast.
The pool was lovely and inviting, but there was no hot tub. Did you want that or you were just covering up?
Perfect place for a little getaway. Nice property, absolutely wonderful breakfast - close to everything. Harbor views were incredible!

Breakfast had a good variety. Beds were a little squeaky but comfortable and it needed some renovations- think 80’s style. Air conditioner cooled the room down a little but not enough especially at night
The location was great but the view from the room was AMAZING! It is an older property but well maintained and comfortable! The room was not luxurious but it was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was great!

Pleasant 1 night stay overall Pool and dining area were nice. Beds were comfortable, room was spacious, lovely balcony views.
Many of the buildings overall were very rundown. Broken door handles, stained ceilings and chipped paint on walls.
Good location for accessing near by activities
The walkway into our room was missing stones between the paver making a huge tripping hazard. The kayaks should be scheduled so others have time. One groups used them all day making it limited for others. Not enough fire pits. The pool was great! The view to the harbor is getting blocked by trees and they could use some trimming and weed removal behind the unit at the bottom of the hill closer to the harbor. Still would go there again!!! Would recommend, the breakfast is also great!

Ocean gate is in an incredible location. The facilities and rooms are a bit dated, but the views and the location more than make up for it.

good location but old rooms and our waterfront room had trees directly in front making it not worth the high season pricing
