Are you open year-round?

We're open every day of the year, including holidays. Although our town is more lively in the spring, summer, and fall, The Viewpoint is a perfect cozy spot to escape during the winter. Plus, there are plenty of open restaurants and things to do just a short drive away — and we've curated a list of our favorites.

For a refund of your deposit minus a $25 cancellation fee, 14-29 days notice. Deposit is non-refundable less than 14 days before your stay. Pre-Pay rate is non-refundable. No refund is provided for late arrivals, early departures, no-shows, or weather-related cancellations. Changes or cancellations to reservations MUST be made directly through the party you booked.

Do you have electric vehicle charging?

As a coastal property in Maine, we care deeply about sustainability. There is an electric vehicle charger available for electric vehicles on the property. Availability is on a first-come first-serve basis.

Is there a restaurant on the property?

Our on-property restaurant, "A Little Auk," is an al fresco spot and open from April to October with shared plates and craft cocktails. If you're visiting in the fall or winter, our sister restaurants just 1.5 miles away Lulu's and Stones Throw are open, and we also provide a curated list of restaurants open year-round for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in York, Ogunquit, Portsmouth, and Kittery.

Do you have daily housekeeping?

Yes, we offer daily housekeeping by request. Just text us (or drop by The Welcome Point) to request a cleaning and your preferred time (for example, when you're out to lunch), and we'll take care of the rest. Looking for extra towels or coffee, or want to purchase a bottle of wine? Just let us know, and we'll leave them in your room!

Can I bring my pet?

The Viewpoint is a completely pet-free property. We do not allow pets inside or on hotel property.

Do all rooms have ocean views?

All of our rooms, with the exception of The Studio 110, have ocean views from inside and their terraces. However, two rooms do not have distinct views of Nubble Lighthouse: The Studio 110 and Grand Boutique Suite 108. These rooms do have ocean views and private patios, and the view is reflected in the price.

All suites on the property have their own private entrance. Shared spaces are only available to hotel guests, including: The grounds and multiple patios, The Fitness Studio, seasonal heated saltwater pool, and The Baths.
