We like to walk the beach and it’s very close. There’s a General Store within easy walk that serves good breakfast sandwiches and coffee. All parking is in the back of the property and is not lighted. Beds were not very comfortable . Not all the lights were working. Fox’s Lobster House is only a mile away and is good and fair prices. Don’t miss the fresh made daily blueberry pie and blueberry ice cream. And it’s right next to the Nubble Lighthouse.

A convenient place to stay for easy access to Long Sands Beach and short drive to the lighthouse and Short Sands Beach. Room was clean and comfy but could use some updating. Rug was very worn and curtains were stained along the bottom. Would be useful to have a table for the coffee maker and proper amt of coffee to make 5 cups instead of a single serving. Front desk staff very friendly and happy people. I’d definitely consider booking again.
