A Wonderful getaway
Pros:

This was our third visit to the Seaside Inn. Everything was very nice as usual. The room was very clean. The staff was efficient and welcoming. Good offerings for breakfast. The location couldn't be better. Just a stone's throw to the wonderful beach. Love watching the dogs run free!

Cons:

There were a lot of thumping sounds from the room above us.
Some kind of whole wheat or whole grain bread would be great at breakfast! Only white flour choices were available.

Looking forward to staying at the Seaside Inn again
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with the added bonus of an ocean view. A continental breakfast was served in a cozy dining room. Fresh muffins and old fashion oatmeal was awesome.

I would stay here again, but it’s definitely an older property
Pros:

Proximity to gooch beach

Cons:

It’s definitely an older property and kind of has a bit of an older musty smell to it. If you had allergies this might be a problem. The beds were not particularly comfortable, but the people are amazing. The breakfast was delightful very clean.
