Nice Inn near the ocean and harbor.

Terrific inn near the ocean beach and Harbor - so easy to walk anywhere which is necessary because there is no restaurant. The room was nice very clean and comfortable, but a bit small if for more than1 person. It’s been redone but the AC is an old unit and goes on and off- often waking you up, it’s a bit loud and right next to the bed. Staff was great and pool and spa nice as well. I’d stay again for a short beach vacation. Really only the AC kept me from a higher rating.

Highly recommend.

Mason beach inn was great. You could tell it was freshly renovated and well kept. Our room was clean and everything was in order. Although this inn didn’t have breakfast, there was always coffee, tea, oatmeal cups and cookies in the lobby. There was also keurig coffee in our room. Upon checkin we were pleasantly surprised by 2 free alcoholic beverages of our choice. We did use the pool and jacuzzi which both had comfortable temperatures. The inn was a great walking distance to Stearns Wharf and yummy breakfast places at the funk zone. I would highly recommend this place.
