“A Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This Inn was really a hidden gem. It was very cozy and quaint. At night I felt I was at my grandparents home from years ago. The wooden floors and wooden cupboard with a cookie jar and fruit out for midnight snacking. I really enjoyed my stay. The inn is very private and extremely clean, and that is a must for me to stay. Was excited to tell our family and friends about this place.
The only negative comment I have is that not all the staff was warm and welcoming. At times we felt
as a outside guest. Could be a little more warm and welcoming, being such a small place.
We will for sure be back and hope to bring family next time.

Room Tip: The Hemmingway......Great view and porches.

“Impeccable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I've never stayed at a place where every single aspect just felt right. From the room design to the customer service - every detail was perfect. Easily the best experience at any Inn I've ever had. If you choose to stay elsewhere - you are missing out!!!

Room Tip: Ultimate privacy in the Charleston Room.

Like "Mary Poppins", Practically perfect in every way! Carly was great and we wished we could have stayed longer.

“A True Gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This place is really wonderful. My husband and I enjoyed a weekend get-away in the Floridian room... and we really didn't want to leave. The bed was so cozy, and the fireplace was perfect for the slightly chilly evening. Tucked away at the end of a quiet street, the Inn is close enough to walk to the restaurants and bars of Center Street, but far enough away to feel secluded and private. The little touches like the complimentary cocktail hour and yummy breakfast just pushed our experience over the top. Carly, who checked us in, was so friendly that we ended up chatting her ear off during breakfast on Sunday! We didn't get in the hot tub that overlooks the marsh, but we'll save that for the next trip- we will definitely return again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

“Can't Wait To Go Back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

I just returned home from a weekend stay 1/20-1/22 at The Water's Edge Inn and can't wait to go back. I stayed in the Pacific Room. Excellent view and great room! Staff was extremely helpful and polite. Very relaxing and laid back atmosphere. I will surely make this one of my favorite places to stay...and will be back soon!!!!

Room Tip: Pacific room is located on top floor with excellent views!
