Great location to shops and in the water. My husband had a visit with the friendly manager. We had a cute room overlooking the bay.
Will stay again.

Bridge water Inn is a quant, older hotel but very unique with a beautiful view. We sat outside by the water in the evenings and really enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We’ll be going back!!

Awful
The beds were uncomfortable the rooms were old and need to be undated. They didn’t furnish the kitchenette as advertised on your site. Extremely small shower.
And worst of all woke up to last night there to large roach in the bed.
But the area is beautiful. But I would find somewhere else to stay.

Several times we came back to find that our designated parking spot was occupied by other cars. Also some cars took too up much space.
An outlet did not work in our bathroom, so they gave me an extension cord. Managers are helpful but the owner has the place for sale so not willing to do anything for updates. Which is sad, because it's a neat place with alot of history and also perfect spot to get to the island. It has a beautiful view.

Cute little hotel but could use some updating and TLC. The couple running the hotel Terry and Kim were amazing and did everything they could to make our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend this place great location.

Great location and it was awesome to be on the water. Would definitely stay here again. Room was up to date unlike other reviewers comments. We stayed in #6 and it was perfect. No coffee cups for the coffee provided and no hairdryer. There is a hairdryer at the office you can ask for, so ask ahead of time since the office was closed when we needed it. Overall, it is a very nice place and would recommend.

Great views, I enjoyed watching the dolphins. Room was clean, plugs and lights didn't work. People were friendly. Beds were too short and could use an upgrade. We enjoyed the restaurants near by.

Kim and Todd were friendly and very accommodating. The views from our room were great. The property itself is in disrepair, and I could tell that whomever owns the property is not putting a cent into it; which is an utter shame. Also, no washer/dryer on site.
