The Anchorage Inn and Marina

The Anchorage Inn and Marina

8/10 Good
"I feel like this place needs a lot of work. Was a two ton hydraulic jack holding up the bathroom sink. A strip holding on an outside light. Nothing stands out as bad, but there’s a lot of work that needs to happen."

10/10 Excellent
"The Lucky Buc was exactly what we hoped it would be. Clean, well maintained, off the beaten path. We were there during the nor’easter, couldn’t get off the island. Russell stayed in constant contact with us during the extra days so we could continue to enjoy our stay. Rent the golf cart you’ll be glad you did. Highly recommend this bungalow and these owners. They are good people."
