We had a wonderful stay at Smuggler's Cove! We saw a beautiful sunset by the water, our room was very clean and comfortable, and everyone made us feel welcome. Shane, the bartender, was awesome, and Kash, the manager, was incredibly friendly and took the time to share the history of the inn and the local area. It made our stay even more special. We'd definitely come back!
