About Us

A home by the sea,
made for you

Seaside Gardens Guest House sits on a quiet stretch of Upper Main Street, where the sound of the harbor mingles with birdsong in our gardens. We opened our doors to offer travelers a quieter, more personal alternative to the rush of hotel corridors — a place where you're known by name and every morning begins with fresh coffee and a view worth savoring.

Whether you're here for a weekend of lobster rolls and gallery hopping, a workcation with ocean views, or simply a pause in a long journey, we'll make sure your stay feels like coming home.
