Had a fantastic stay at The Blue Dory Inn. Garrison was extremely helpful with checking us in and helping us find parking. The room was well appointed and the breakfast was awesome. This Inn is conveniently located in town with a short walk to the beach. We loved our stay.

We loved the tea room cottage and the fact that we could bring our four legged family member with us. The manager—Brody— was so helpful and the location in town is great. The fact that a really nice, fresh breakfast and afternoon wine was included in our room rate added to the enjoyment. We were sad to have to leave.

The location of the property is excellent. The breakfast included is of very good quality. The wine hour is great; an hour earlier would help to open your appetite and go out for dinner. The personal is very kind and attentive. we'll be back for sure.

A Wonderful Stay at the Blue Dory Inn! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a lovely experience! The Blue Dory Inn is truly a gem. Our stay was delightful, but what made it especially memorable was the wonderful staff. Everyone was genuinely warm, welcoming, and incredibly hardworking. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel so well cared for. And the breakfast! Absolutely outstanding. Homemade, delicious, and clearly prepared with love and care. It was a highlight of each morning! The Blue Dory Inn offers that special combination of hospitality, charm, and thoughtful touches that makes you want to return. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable stay. We loved it!
