Loved the location Some of the walkways need repairs to the boards. Some sections were new & they were working on those sections when we were there. Had a room with a view. The beds were very firm which made it a little uncomfortable to sleep. The room we had was very spacious.

My husband & stayed in a sound side room and view was amazing. The place was clean & folks were friendly. We saw a few does & a buck in the parking lot. Heater was a little noisy and bed was not as comfortable as we would prefer, but I definitely would stay here again.

I love traveling but one thing I hate is knowing I have to lay my head down in a room that is not mine. My stay and my room was exceptional!! Clean, clean, clean. I felt so comfortable. The atmosphere was very peaceful and I loved being on the water. I will definitely be back !!!

You are paying for the beautiful views. Don’t expect any hotel perks. You are lucky to have a television that works, much less a refrigerator we had to have both replaced several times in a 4 day stay.

A Touch of Paradise

This property for the $$ was way worth it. Furniture in the room could use an upgrade but the run was spacious and most importantly ‘clean’. The hot showers never let me down. The entire property is cover by a boardwalk. The dock out into the sound is absolutely beautiful. The staff is awesome, very personable too

More parking, especially handicapped parking would be a great thing. You have one handicapped spot and there was a car there the entire time I was there and they didn't have a special plate or hang tag. I use a cane and am very unstable on my feet, that space would have been a God send. Also, the parking lot is not well lit so that made it even more stressful as I had to park out in the dark area and walk in the dark to get to the ramps where the lights are. This is a liability risk for you.

I loved my short visit to the Inn. We will defiantly be back for a longer stay. Everyone was friendly and welcoming which I haven’t seen for a long time from customer service in hotels. The grounds were clean and welcoming. I went for walks on my own and felt completely safe. I wish I could have stayed longer.
