What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 73 guest reviews
Inn on the Sound earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently raving about the oceanfront location, generous breakfast, and warm, personal hospitality — with the host Debbie singled out by name for special praise. A handful of reviewers note practical shortcomings: at least one room suffers from road noise and a less appealing position, some bathrooms showed cleanliness lapses, and the fixed breakfast menu frustrated guests wanting alternatives. Overall it reads as a charming, well-run B&B that delights most visitors while carrying the quirks of an older property.
