"My son and I stayed at the Ocean Inn for a week in early July. It was the shoulder season in English Harbor, but it was perfect for us. No crowds! The Inn is conveniently placed within walking distance from everything you need (beach, grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants). The rooms are simple, but very clean and comfortable. Evenings are quiet and peaceful, and the views are beautiful. The owner, Robert, as well as the entire staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you. If you are looking for a relaxing, no-fuss place to stay, this is a great spot! The one walkable beach (Pigeon Beach) is a solid 15+ minute walk up and over a fairly steep hill, but is worth it. We really enjoyed the beachside cafe, Bumpkins. The second beach (Galleon Beach) is reachable by land or water taxi and is also very nice, but quite developed. The Loose Cannon offers an upscale waterside cafe and comfortable loungers to rent. If you’re looking for a full service beach experience, this is the place to go. The snorkeling is better at Galleon. Enjoy!"
