Booked the Blue Wave for a last minute trip. Was an absolute gem and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making the property a great place to stay. Didn’t anticipate an after hours check in but was given correct and easy to follow directions. Getting into the room right before sunset was amazing. The view of the bay can’t be beat. While I didn’t get to try the onsite cafe or the fire pits, everything looked well maintained. Would highly recommend choosing the Blue Wave for a more quaint and charming stay!

A very relaxing place to stay. The Captains Quarters is on the road side so some road noise but out on the beach was very relaxing and a great place for coffee and a sandwich. Lots of seating indoors and out and a fire pit.

Beautiful rooms with a unique design RIGHT on the water. Very comfortable and clean. Traffic noise was quite loud as we were on end room. This was definitely exasperated by LOUD drivers. Close to town and parks and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!
