Sands of Time is a charming spot for a stay in Wood’s Hole. We had a view of the harbor and could walk into town and to the ferry. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the tea and coffee that was available all day in the lobby. We wish we had our swimsuits for the heated pool. We hope to return often!

Very basic but functional motel, with a beautiful view of the harbor, and perfectly comfortable. I had a restful night while I visited a relative who lives quite close by. The inn manager and keeper couldn't be nicer.
