Our family’s stay at Captain Sweetser’s Inn was wonderful. We were kindly welcomed upon arrival and given a tour of the historic mansion. Our room was immaculately clean, the beds comfortable, and the breakfast delicious. Our 13-year-old still raves about the breakfast. And the view of the bay from the beautifully maintained property grounds is excellent.

Beautifully renovated and decorated to its original era. Very nice large room with private bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Warm welcome upon arrival with lots of historical facts shared which was really interesting. Other than creaky bed frame, everything was perfect. We loved staying here and will go back!

Captain Sweetser's Inn was the highlight of our vacation. Lori and Ginny are very thoughtful and full of information on the history of their property and the community. Lori guided us to some excellent restaurants. The Inn is very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was perfect.

Definition of a Bed & Breakfast!
Lori and Ginny were fabulous hosts! From the warm welcome in the driveway, to a tour and history of the home, breakfast in the morning and sweet conversations! It was such a treat from other types of travel! A reminder what a difference these details and personal interactions can really have on your trip. I had such a nice stay and recommended this B&B to anyone traveling to the area!

There were road repairs underway on US-1 right outside the front door, which makes for traffic inconvenience, noise, and an asphalt smell, but I'm not sure there's much you can do to mitigate that given the location. Staff were absolutely lovely, welcoming, accommodating for our being hideously behind schedule and late in our arrival. Electric car charger is a 120V plug, which gave us enough mileage on our car to have flexibility in planning the rest of our trip. Our daughters adore this house and want to come back!
