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.

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.

Hot breakfast was very good. We were there before they started the buffet, so it was cook to order off a limited menu. View of the bay was so-so, but the room was nice. The family who owns the place were very nice.

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!!!
