What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 518 guest reviews
Moolack Shores Inn earns consistently enthusiastic praise for its unbeatable oceanfront views, direct private beach access, and charming individually themed rooms — with the friendly owner Peggy frequently singled out as a highlight. Minor but recurring complaints include small maintenance issues (squeaky beds, a broken lamp, a stiff patio door), lack of window screens, sparse kitchen supplies in some rooms, and no after-hours snacks on-site. Overall, the sentiment is strongly positive, with many guests returning multiple times.
