Ship’s Knees Inn is a beautiful property run by lovely people. We truly enjoyed both patios for breakfast and nighttime fun around the fire pit; the excellent pool at the end of hot days; and the fresh and well-kept grounds (flowers everywhere.) The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is the significant drawbacks of our very tiny room: the bed was a super uncomfortable big marshmallow (we didn't sleep well during our entire visit); the walls were embarrassingly thin; and it was dark throughout the day. This room might best be used as a storage area; certainly not worth the cost. In any case we'd return to this Inn and request a better room.

A relaxing spot close to beaches and good restaurants. Great breakfast bar, good healthy selections. Staff were friendly and responsive. Room was very small and dark, bed too soft for our backs but overall a pleasant stay.
