Who we are

Sea Winds has been a landmark home on the Maine coast for generations. Built in the mid-19th century for Captain Thomas Tapley, this grand home was purchased in 1938 by Philip and Marion Curtis, who lovingly ran it as an inn for many years. Today, the property is managed by Philip and Marion’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Many of us spent our childhood summers here, exploring the shoreline, swimming, sailing, chasing fireflies, sharing lobster picnics by the shore, and creating lifelong memories.

Today, we’re delighted to share this special place with you and yours, for your dream wedding, unforgettable retreat, family reunion, or a private coastal getaway like no other.

Our recent renovation has revitalized every corner of the property, from the historic barn, to the custom kitchen, to the ocean view honeymoon suite.

We invite you to enjoy the Sea Winds magic our family has had the privilege of experiencing for nearly a century.
