The view from the windows was magnificent. To sit on the balcony and to see the beautiful sunset was incredible.
The pool was clean and the last day was really warm probably because was heated. To be at the pool and see the bay was very calming and relaxing.
Definitely will come back to this place again
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was great, the breakfast was tasty and the staff was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
Great location, restaurants are walkable. Small breakfasts in morning was just enough to get you going. Heated pool, hot tub in private setting and fishing pier made for relaxing days! Looking forward to staying again later this year. Great stay!

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the bayside views were very relaxing.
My children and I have stayed in the same hotel for every beach trip, for years. This property has never really let us down. It’s always an easy check in, the rooms are VERY clean, and the pool is well kept and a favorite of ours!
Wonderful staff. Owner took the time to speak with us about our stay and inquired if there was anything that would elevate our stay. The pool and grounds were kept immaculate. Our room was comfortable and had a beautiful view of the bay. Definitely would recommend staying here.
Everything was clean and ready when we checked in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The young lady doing the breakfast was exceptionally friendly and set the tone for a happy day!
We had a lovely stay and enjoyed our balcony which overlooked the water and provided a beautiful sunset view. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed breakfast with fresh coffee.
, eggs and bacon. Overall, we were pleased with our accommodations, the central location and proximity to areas of interest and restaurants.
The waterside Inn is one of the most friendliest places there. We have been staying there for many of years to celebrate my birthday. If you want to relax this is your destination. The rooms are alway clean and staff are great.
