• Tidewater Motel
  "Astonishing experience"
  "The Tidewater Motel is probably the quirkiest, most interesting place we've ever stayed in. The motel, built on stiits of some sort, is not located next to the quiet harbor, but IN it. Several times a day, the tide flows from a tidal pond across the street, goes UNDER the balconies overlooking the..." sea, and then practically gallops into the ocean, making a wonderful roaring sound. Water flows the other direction several hours later. Most amazing water view I've ever seen; all that's missing are mountains! The owner, Phil Crossman, wrote an absolutely hilarious book about Island life called "Away Happens," which I've just sent to my daughter's new in-laws. The motel isn't fancy, but who cares? You take your continental breakfast back to your room, if you choose, and eat it on the little balconies, facing a watery heaven.The TIdewater fits in beautifully with this lovely, understated funky island.

  "One of a kind!! Def a must see!"
  "My wife and I just had our wedding on Vinalhaven Island 2 months ago. We along with 28 of our guest all stayed at the Tidewater. We had never been there, just happened to find it online. Phil(the owner) helped us with everything including setting up a catered lobster boil inside a fishermans wharf. ..."Truly a one of a kind experience! The customer service the Tidewater offers is over the top! Our fav part was how laid back the whole island was. Other fav's were, the Harbor Gawker and hiking out to the basin(we saw a ton of seals just hanging out!). If you're considering going....DO IT! You will not regret it! " More >

  "Made for a great stay"
  "We stayed here July 2012 for about 3 nights in the mill race room and enjoyed it very much. The people at tidewater were very helpful in recommending activities and accomadating our requests ie, last minute rental car & transportation to the basin. We have only been kayaking a handful of times bu..."t kayaking at the basin has been our most memorable experiance. I would recommend the Tidewater to anybody and I look forward to returning next time we are in Maine. " More >
