What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 243 guest reviews
Seal Cove Inn earns consistently enthusiastic praise for its stunning European-style property, exceptionally warm staff, and unbeatable location next to the Fitzgerald Marine Preserve and coastal trails. The main recurring grumble is the breakfast, which several returning guests find repetitive and in need of a refresh, and a handful of rooms show signs of wear. Overall guest sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors returning year after year.
