We are staying in the Gratitude marina Inn annex for a few days over the July 4 holiday, and it has been a relaxing and comfortable stay. Although it’s very hot here now , the central air conditioning is quiet and excellent, and we enjoyed the pool at the main inn, and their excellent and reasonably priced restaurant. Our room is bright and spacious, with a comfortable king sized bed, big leather recliners, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, coffees/tea, creamers, bottled water, and a terrace ( new Adirondack chairs, small table nighttime lantern lighting ) overlooking the docks for a fine morning, sunset or moonlit view. An ice machine is accessed on a staircase right outside the rooms. Parking is easy ( spaces are reserved for Annex guests) and plenty of free bikes are available . The Marina dock is also accessible for annex guests, and has a breezy far corner picnic table, which offered a perfect vantage point for the town’s firework display. Bikes are also available at the main inn , as well as free kayaks and canoes . Note that both the inn and annex are marinas and many guests visit on their boats so the pool and restaurant were particularly crowded for the holiday . There is a small beach with two picnic tables next to the marina but only saw dogs swimming. . No issues at all with Internet connections at the annex, there are several options you can use if one signal is not as strong as another, and the staff have all been responsive, helpful and friendly, even during the very busy holiday. We would happily return. Some tips: very good birdwatching here, mainly ospreys and herons, on the docks so don’t forget your binoculars, especially if you also plan to go to the Eastern Neck refuge. I’d recommend bringing a supply of snacks, fruits, and beverages if you stay in the annex, as there are no nearby stores. There is an excellent bar restaurant “ Blue Heron Oyster” bar about a 5 min walk from the annex - note it takes no reservations and it was very busy over the holiday. Consider booking a sail in advance, and note there are more options including a discounted option offered by the inn, if you have a larger party.
