    This is an incredible property! First, the location is picturesque and peaceful. Every inch of this property is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. The room was immaculate, with incredibly comfortable beds. My husband and I both experienced a great night of sleep.

    Couple of things. The walls are pretty thin so we could hear our neighbors conversations and noises fairly clearly. This was unfortunate and isn’t something easy to fix. Perhaps a couple of one offs: During our first breakfast, the property was hosting a yoga class in the dining area. The music was so loud and the class was a bit looming in the space so we left and went to our room to eat. And unfortunately our heating unit wasn’t working properly and couldn’t be fixed so we had to move rooms. This was handled very efficiently, however. But none the less it was an inconvenience.

    Excellent location and lovely accommodations. Ellen and Barb were amazing!

    Suite seating was not very practical or comfortable. When sitting around the fire pit, you’re close to the Marina and boats. Unfortunately, you’re also within “sniffing” distance to the fish cutting table. For the off-season, I thought it was expensive, but compared to other properties at the time and in the area, I think it was comparable for how modern it is.

    The property has a ver y nice layout and the buildings are modern, clean, and with nice open spaces. The furnishings in the suite were new and modern, though the seating was not particularly functional. Very chic, but not practical. Kitchenette and counter space was great! Though I’m not a k-cup user or fan, I enjoyed the Lavazza system they have in the room. The coffee quality is much better than Keurig and the system was clean. We were here after the main season and during an extremely rainy week, so the place was very quiet, and we had many common spaces to ourselves. It was a nice setting once you’re away from the parking area. We enjoyed the simple breakfast and views and gas fire pit in the evening. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

    The furniture inside the room was uncomfortable, not the beds they were wonderful. The couch and chairs and coffee table were modern and not at all comfortable to sit on. The chairs in the main hotel area where you can get breakfast are also uncomfortable, nothing inviting about metal kitchen chairs to sit on.

    Property was beautiful right off the water at the marina.

    The walls between units could be insulated better. I was able to hear muffled conversation.

    Breakfast was great, breakfast facility was nice, no crowding, rooms were private and convenient, it was easy to get staff attention when needed. Easy to find, I like that it was boat accessible as well.

    Overall the stay was pretty good. The sound proofing isn’t great. I could hear the footsteps of the people above us walking around their room. If you are a light sleeper maybe ask for a top floor room. Breakfast leaves a bit to be desired- the pastries seemed grocery store quality. The rooms are stylish and functional, but not warm/inviting. The front desk was friendly but didn’t give us much info about the area, even when asked. For example many restaurants are closed on Wednesdays which left us scrambling to find a place to eat, but the front desk didn’t mention that when we asked for recommendations. An informational binder/booklet in the room would do the trick. Little things like that are not a big deal, but the place isn’t cheap so customer service stuff really matters.

    The hotel is nicely designed. Little touches like a heater in the bathroom were good. Nice towels. As advertised the breakfast is standard continental, cold cereals, some not great pastries, etc. Good coffee though! Lovely views of Peconic Bay from the breakfast area. Rooms are spacious and have a kind of mini-kitchen so good for families. They give you passes for the beaches, and towels, which is great.

    There’s no sidewalk, so if you want to pop over to the place next door for seafood (which to be fair is meh at best but I arrived quite late after a long drive and was being pragmatic) you have to walk on the side of the road in an area where this seems to cause suspicion. It would be nice to extend the boardwalk area a bit so travelers could stretch their legs and enjoy the view without taking their lives into their hands.

    The room was spacious and beautiful, and the continental breakfast was of exceptional quality (lots of fresh fruit, berries, yogurt, high quality baked goods); there’s also a barista on staff to make you a real latte or cappuccino which was a welcome touch. The location right on the water was lovely, and the fire pit was a nice touch (watch out when it’s windy).

    Everything was just amazing!

    First of all, Taylor was so welcoming and proud of the New Shoals establishment. The place had such a wonderful, nautical luxurious vibe. The room was expertly appointed and the amenities were excellent. The view and the rustic feel in/near a marina was a plus. I can't wait to go back in the summer for the food truck and Oyster Happy Hour!

    The room tv was mounted too high, so if you were sitting, and were of average height you had to keep your neck craned to watch. The bed was ultra comfortable, but the bedroom dimensions were tight.

    The breakfast was delicious; muffins, granola, yoghurt, bagels, fruit, was healthy and generous. Coffee and tea of course. I did not, however, see that they had decaf. And cream cheese would have been good for the bagels. Perhaps I just didn’t see it. Beautiful landscaping, great views.

    We loved all of the extra detail like the Adirondack chairs looking over the water and Most rooms had a nice outdoor seating area. They had a nice coffee and breakfast set up in the morning and the hotel was overall well designed and a very nice stay. For those who like yoga they even do a morning yoga class by the water!

    The hotel was clean and in a great location!

    I would have liked to have had a separate TV in the living room. Also, a television subscription, i.e. “Verizon”, rather than apps. The grounds could have been more tidy.

    I wouldn’t call the offering “breakfast”. We opted to have our breakfast off property.
