"Miller house was great. Our room was very large, loved the king bed. Margaret made us a great breakfast. The location was awesome very walkable. I would say the only thing I would say is that I did not realized it was a shared bathroom. I did not see anything in the bed and breakfast information about that. I probably would not have stayed there but that is just me. The one bathroom upstairs is very large and clean. Personally it’s not a choice I would have made. Otherwise beautiful place."

The Tuna Blue Inn and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent
"The Tuna Blue is charming, well maintained, quiet, and comfortable. We loved the location right on Hubbards Cove and the beautiful view from our room - the terraces are a fantastic amenity. The building is very cool and it feels like you’re staying in someone’s big old house. We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant and waitstaff were friendly and efficient. We never actually met a staff member from the Inn, which wasn’t a problem (nice that they trusted us to check ourselves in and out!). They don’t offer breakfast but the in-room coffee was excellent - though we would have liked the opportunity to get a second cup! In fact we think one improvement they could make would be to use a downstairs common room for a guest coffee station (and a few muffins in the morning wouldn’t hurt!). Our bathroom was fine though a bit dated and the shower light didn’t work, and our room could’ve used a rug. But overall we loved the place and would stay there again!"

Surfside Inn

Surfside Inn

8/10 Good
"We stayed in the honeymoon suite and the king bed was amazingly comfortable. The staff were great and helped me with heavy bags up the steep stairs (be ready for that if you’re old or weak). The adjacent beach across the road was quite with hardly anyone on it (romantic). The down side of the room was 3 things: 1) there were only sheers on the windows so privacy at night was a little off and the room was too bright in the morning. 2) the shower stall was ridiculously small - about 24” x 30” so the curtain stuck to my side and the shower head was an old ‘water saver’ head and hardly sprayed much water. 3) the bathroom fan was noisy and requires replacing. The chandelier above the jacuzzi tub made us laugh as we banged our heads on it standing up. Oh and #4 if the owners are reading… replace the window screens! The ocean view is no good blurred by ancient window screens. A nice stay but not worth the money -especially for newlyweds and because I need a nice shower!!"
