Breakfast was delicious and plentiful
The property was great as was the room
The breakfast was very very good. The front desk made many good suggestions on things that we still could do being it off season.
Great little inn on the coast. The rooms are updated, the breakfast is good with real strong coffee. Ideally located in the sheltered cove that is great for kayaking. Also very close to the town. We loved our stay and are looking forward to our next visit.
Beautiful property! Staff was great and I enjoyed the breakfast there every morning. Loved watching the sunset and relaxing at the pool! Would stay again.
Exactly as described and pictured. We had a great stay. Wish we had booked it for a longer stay. Breakfast was amazing. Will definitely be back next time we are in Maine.

No ocean view as advertised, room was small and dusty between bed and nightstand. Complimentary breakfast had good choices and was fresh. Restaurants nearby were very good.
The best breakfast buffet, made with wholesome, real food. Accomodations very tasteful. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Scenic view from balconey. Highly recommend.

I thought the entire staff was very helpful and professional. The rooms were a good size and very clean !!
This place was fantastic for me and my family. I highly suggest the tiki masala from the restaurant the best I’ve ever had. I believe a family helps run this property and I will have to say they were the most accommodating people I’ve ever had at any resort I’ve never been to including high-end five-star resorts. I highly suggest staying at this property and I will be back next year. Thank you again for your hospitality.
We had a wonderful stay at Smuggler's Cove! We saw a beautiful sunset by the water, our room was very clean and comfortable, and everyone made us feel welcome. Shane, the bartender, was awesome, and Kash, the manager, was incredibly friendly and took the time to share the history of the inn and the local area. It made our stay even more special. We'd definitely come back!
We had a wonderful time, here! Very helpful staff, great food at the restaurant, the pool was amazing, and they even had a firepit for people to use for smores. I would stay here again and recommend to friends/family! :)
