Great Time at Smuggler's Cove Inn
Our room was newly renovated and we were the first to stay in it. It was beautiful, clean, the bed was very comfortable and having a deck overlooking the ocean was a great plus. We had a great housekeeper and the free breakfast was awesome. I can't say enough about the inn. I would recommend to anyone to stay there.

We stayed at the end of the season to view the foliage and visit the pumpkin fest. The inn was nicely decorated and had amazing views of the harbor. The inn had nice amenities like a fire pit and free breakfast. We were also pleased at it proximity to booth bay harbor shops and restaurants.

This is a great little family owned hotel out of the hustle and bustle. They offer use of kayaks, a firepit, and fishing poles. The buffet breakfast is generous and the rooms are very clean.
