High Tide Inn

High Tide Inn

8/10 Good
"The view from our room was amazing and we loved having a porch and chairs to sit in to enjoy the view. The room was spacious. It appears that the Inn is in the process of upgrading things, but they haven’t gotten to it all yet. The bed is comfortable, the towels are thick and soft, and we loved the modern mirror but there was no soap provided for the shower. It would be great to store the towels near the shower rather than in the outside room. The windows and screen door need attention as does some of the paint. The wicker chairs are lovely but the cushions on the indoor chair needs replacing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Great location in a quaint inn on the water. Know the quaintness includes wide colonial floor boards that have shaped with the building as it has settled over the decades. The building and those around the village are reflection of days-gone-by. Restaurants are a little sparce on Monday's and Tuesdays after Labor Day. Make reservations before arrival or plan to bring something for dinner on the deck. The grill on the deck is an option too. The staff was attentive and room spotless but bring your own tissues."
