"We were on the end with a small dog and it was perfect to take him out to potty. There were plenty of seats to sit outside and enjoy the weather. We enjoyed sitting in the swing and watch the busy harbor. The walking bridge over to the shops and restaurants was just a few hundred feet away. It was so easy to use. Great time!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Topside Inn. Overall it was a great experience with one caveat. The property itself is in a really great location and provides stunning views. The staff was attentive and the breakfast spread was really good. The carrot cake pancakes may have been the best pancakes I’ve ever had! The only issue we encountered was the room definitely had a damp smell to it right when we got there. We got used to it but it did take a bit away from our stay."

"Great waterfront property with wonderful amenities. Kids loved the pool and boats. Breakfast was good with a nice selection. On site restaurant was very good and reasonably priced compared with other restaurants in the area. Room was made up when we arrived, but floors and baseboards were both dusty/dirty. The shower curtain and liner were gross and clearly hadn’t been replaced or cleaned in a while. Not deal breakers and everything else was clean - will definitely come back again."
