"I enjoyed my stay in the Chappy House – Room 409, a suite with its on entrance from the outside. It was very well appointed and similar to a spacious one bedroom apartment without the kitchen. Must be capable of maneuvering stone pathways and steps to access it. Very nice for a long-term stay. I’d be interested in purchasing one! (Luxury vinyl plank flooring needs repairing in one hallway spot — barely noticeable.) 🙂"

"The seaport resort and marina was very nice. We did receive a room that was not cleaned but received a new room very quickly by the front desk. The layout I would say is a little quirky, no elevators and the building looks 2 stories high but we're in the 400 section. The room we stayed in was very nice and the kids loved the stay. The outdoor venue with food truck, lounge and bar area with live music overlooking the marina was beautiful. Kids had a blast dancing way past their bedtime. We would stay there again. Thank you!"

8/10 Good
"Really great to be right on the beach. Beautiful setting. But the beach and in water has lots of rocks. Difficult to walk through or stroll on the beach. But nice when just laying on a chaise. (provided by hotel) Room is very nice and clean. Beds very good. Wonderful to have our dog with us. Staff was having some turnover during the stay. The first day a bit chaotic. They don't provide full view photos of rooms on the website(s) so we couldn't get a handle on size beforehand. In the end, the bedroom was a good size. But not one photo of bathroom. (I've never seen this missing in any other hotels on internet) The bathroom is smaller than expected, but nice and clean and worked well. Everything in room seems updated. Just to know and plan - there isn't a restaurant or food setting. There is a truck in the lot that sells coffee, beverages and pastries. There is a rooftop with furniture on the two level hotel overlooking ocean. It was a full moon. Very nice aspect. This is a very expensive hotel stay."
