Our room was beautiful, and clean. The view of the ocean was perfect. What made this stay that much better was how kind and welcoming the woman at the front desk was. From sharing her recommendations on the bath bombs they sell there, providing a good spread for breakfast the following morning to pointers on where to eat and visit for the rest of our trip. This is a place we see ourselves coming back to time and time again! You will not be disappointed staying here.

The entire experience was phenomenal!! Just what we needed to close a chapter in our lives and start a new one. We were there to celebrate our late daughter’s birthday. Karen was so kind and helpful. When I shared with her about our plans. She gave me information about the Better Place Forest. We will return every year to celebrate her birthday.

I would highly recommend Wharf Master’s Inn. We were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary and the Inn met and surpassed our expectations. We were welcomed with a friendly smile by Karen who let us know about all the amenities to make our stay enjoyable. Our room had a chill, romantic vibe with thoughtful touches like a fireplace and an in room jacuzzi. We soaked in the picturesque views of the beach, sunset, and ocean from our balcony. The location was an easy walk to the beach. The complementary breakfast made for a great start of the day. We can’t wait to return to the hidden gem at Wharf Master’s Inn.
