We really appreciated our stay at the Customs House Inn. The room was exactly as shown in pictures, the bed was extremely comfortable and I particularly enjoyed the bathtub! The Inn is close to all amenities and yet very quiet. The inn keeper Doug was really available and kind. Highly recommend!

This is an old building that has been wonderfully converted to a small B&B. It is beautifully done, very clean and comfortable. It is in walking distance of the waterfront with options for meals, even in the shoulder season. It is an interesting place to stay and a nice change of pace from a big hotel.

Beautiful heritage building, wonderful bed, close to everything and right across from the ocean. Hope to stay there again. There are stairs to the top floor, so if you can’t do stairs let them know you need a room on the main floor. I hope to stay here again.
