Location

The hotel is one block in from Main Street, a block from the waterfront and steps from several restaurants and ice cream parlors. Next door is Wheel Happy, a reasonably priced bike rental shop that’s a major plus on an island perfect for cycling. The property is an easy (and flat) two miles from Bend in the Road Beach, a great swimming spot.

The Room

My street-facing Queen, the least expensive of the room categories, was on the first floor next to the staircase yet managed to remain gloriously quiet. The blues and creams of the lobby extended here — a sizable throw rug of the same color palate covered much of the freshly finished dark wood floors. A large carved wood armoire graced one corner. The comfortable bed was dressed with crisp white linens, backed with a navy fabric headboard. Three woven baskets were affixed above the bed, each hewing to the color scheme of blue, cream and the dark brown of the flooring. A single light bulb from the ceiling was wrapped in a woven bubble of what appeared to be hardened beach rope. For a hotel ostensibly catering to beachgoers, it could have used more places to hang wet suits and towels, but the space was otherwise well considered.
