Union Bluff Hotel & Meeting House

10/10 Excellent

"We booked an accessible room to accommodate my husband wheelchair use. The bathroom was really perfect. The staff added a shower chair per our request. We stayed in the meeting house which was charming. The front desk staff went above and beyond to help us as needed."

The Cutty Sark Motel

10/10 Excellent

"You can not improve on perfection! The staff was outstanding Shout out to Julia and all the others ! The view is second to none! This is a must stay place ! See u in June"

Sea Turn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great short weekend stay at the Sea Turn inn. It's close to the waves, very clean, comfy, and the water pressure in the shower was amazing. I highly recommend it."

Stones Throw

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at Stone's Throw multiple times and we highly recommend it. The room we stayed in was on the smaller side, but big enough with a very comfortable queen bed. The room had a nice bathroom and both the room and bathroom were attractive and clean. We didn't really see any staff as they have contactless check in, however instructions and communication were good. Parking was convenient and near our room. I should also note that there was a small refrigeraror in the room. The long, expansive, sandy beach is right across the road from the hotel which was perfect. Another big plus is that The Stone's Throw restaurant is right next door. There is inside and outside seating. The menu is interesting. We had appetizers and drinks which were both great. Just to note though, the restaurant was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday during the time of our stay."

The Lynwood Inn

8/10 Good

"Cathy was amazing. Location is good 10 min walk to short sands beach . Few so oke things we didn’t like but. Room was tidy and looks fresh . The stairs going up to the third floor had no lights at night time. Have something on the railing device don’t help when trying to hold the step stairs. Ye they didn’t work. No lights on used flashlight. To see that was the only factor they was difficult Tho k it needs a railing on the house die as well for safety . Again Cathy was so amazing. We would come back. Would def want a bottom floor room.."

Bittersweet Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The bed and breakfast was immaculate. Victor was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return."
