Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this place. Ken, at the front desk, was super friendly & welcoming. He was very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with resources we didn't even know we needed. He let us know when the tides were coming & when to look for shells. He gave us the scoop on the local nature preserves & restaurants. Ken is the man! The room was immaculate! After using the cart they provided to get all of our stuff into the elevator, my girlfriend & I rolled up to the door, and when it opened I already felt at home. The kitchen was perfect. The bedding was perfect. The view from the screened in balcony was amazing! Just a few steps from the back porch & we were on the beach! They made this beautiful beach experience even better by having chairs and umbrellas ready to go, already near, or on, the beach. This was sooo much appreciated. I thank them for their respect for the dark sky community that they are a part of. I love seeing places going above and beyond to protect our night skies. Long story short, stay here and you won't be disappointed, I promise."
