Beware

Hotel is very old and outdated. The room smelled of mold and mildew. The bed was an old spring mattress that sunk 6 inches when you laid down on it. With that said, the location is pure perfection with stunning views.

I loved having access to a private beach. The sunset views were amazing. We enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and playing Cornhole. There is pier and kayaks if interested in using. Also, having a great tasting free breakfast with an amazing view just added to the experience.

While we looked at hotels near the busy harbor area for our stay, we were so glad we chose Smuggler's Cove instead. The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The balcony outside our room gave us a wonderful place to watch the sunset on the beautiful, peaceful cove...exactly what we'd hoped for. And the bed...oh my!! I'm usually very disappointed with the pillows at hotels but these were firm and the bedding was super soft and comfy. The short ride to the harbor for restaurants, shops and boat tours gave us an excuse to explore a little bit more of the area and we were glad for that too. Definitely recommend!!!

Just okay

This inn was recently renovated but is still in progress in some areas. Our bathroom still had wall patches that hadn’t been painted. Our bathroom and the check in office smelled like a litter box. There’s minimal light in the room. We were thankful for the breakfast that was offered and everyone was nice.

Recommend 2nd floor, can hear guests above you. Walls are thin, can hear people snoring in adjacent room. But quiet hours were respected. Free breakfast is better than most other hotels. Free kayaks were nice to have available. Would stay again.

Beautiful place to stay!

Beautiful place to stay! From the front it doesn’t look like much but once you get to the views in the back yard you won’t be disappointed! They couldn’t offer early check in which is fine but they let us leave a vehicle in the parking lot so we could go into town before check in! The pool was warm with a gorgeous view of the bay but it could use cleaning or a vacuum. The room was pretty and clean. I love that every room had 2 Adirondack chairs outside to enjoy the view with a cup of coffee in the morning! The fire pit had wood, paper, and kindling ready to go, we just needed to go to the front desk for a lighter. We didn’t have a dog but we saw a lot of guests with them and the property was very dog friendly! The restaurant was closed on the night of my stay so I can’t review. But the breakfast in the morning had a lot of options and was tasty. Will definitely coming back, hopefully for more than one night and with the whole family this time! There’s a whole lot to do on the property with kayaks and SUPs, the pool, and the fire pit
