What guests say
8.3 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 978 guest reviews
The Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach earns consistent praise for its unbeatable beachside location, clean and charmingly decorated rooms, and comfortable beds, making it a pleasant coastal retreat. However, the breakfast offering is a recurring and significant disappointment — described by multiple guests as minimal and poor quality — and the lack of air conditioning is a notable comfort issue in warmer weather. Noise from doors and other guests, occasional slow service, and minor maintenance issues round out the concerns guests should weigh before booking.
