Love it here. Although you don’t have the option for ocean front view you do have a partial view and everything else makes up for it. The lounge area with prime ocean views is quaint, comfy, and perfect for snacks, a cocktail, or to relax. Mornings you’re greeted with picnic basket with pastries and hot coffee and mimosas. Beds are comfortable and all the Aesop bath products are lovely. Definitely coming back!

I saw it on Instagram and went on a road trip
I saw this place on Instagram, and it’s even more beautiful in person. The location is just perfect, right by the ocean with a lovely view out of the window. The room was clean and boutique-style. You park in front of your room, which is safe and easy to access. I went to the bar for a cheese board and wine by the fire pit. Breakfast was just a nice touch, with delivering a picnic basket outside of your door filled with coffee, pastries, and mimosa ready to be enjoyed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they gave me recommendations. Overall I enjoyed the hotel, and I have been telling my friends to visit as well.

The lounge is pretty cute, cozy…nice ambiance. The room is clean, no odor, cool, relaxing and the location is walkable…just across the beach. What we don’t like though is the bathroom as it doesn’t have a lock and there’s no shower door which is somehow uncomfortable…as if lacking for sense of privacy.

Staying here for a night was absolutely perfect. The staff goes above and beyond. Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and they upgraded us to a king suite for free. I just love the cute little freebies like the slippers and in the morning they drop off a mimosa kit, pastries, and local coffee in a hot thermos! We had such a cute time riding the bikes (also free) that are first come first serve, to the little downtown. Another highlight was taking the lantern provided in the room on a romantic little night stroll to the Sea Chest restaurant at night. This place really has experience, aesthetic, and hospitality nailed down! Kevin, in specific, was so lovely. I wish I could remember the names of each staff member too because really everyone we encountered was so sweet. We want to come back ASAP and relive our perfect 24 hours here! To the staff at White Water Inn, thank you so much for making our stay special!
