From the reviews
Beautiful inn and great location to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived at around 3pm on a Monday...not knowing that they didn't offer dinner on Mondays. In addition we were not aware that all staff left at 4pm. Bedroom was excellent with a nice view and comfortable furnishings. I'd definitely go back again...
Great location for walking to all the shops and restaurants. Staff is very nice and helpful. The beds were comfy and room had plenty of space.
Getting married at The Boathouse Waterfront Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
