We had a wonderful stay at The Inn on Onset Bay. Our room was immaculate with a spacious. modern bathroom. The mattresses were so comfortable. Our room had a microwave, fridge and sink which was very nice. There was a veranda off our room that overlooked the harbor. Fantastic! There’s a patio where you can relax and bbq if you so wish. The management was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again.

Wish there were a couple of chairs and small table in our particular room. Other than that you had to eat, for example, breakfast or lunch sitting on the bed. The bathroom door didn’t close or open all the way without jamming into the floor.
