Candlebay Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment across recent stays, driven above all by host Connie's warmth and a genuinely impressive homemade breakfast. The historic 1848 building delivers charm and a prime walkable location, though guests should be aware of steep stairs with no ramp, variably sized (sometimes compact) rooms and bathrooms, and thin walls — practical trade-offs typical of a heritage property that most reviewers accept readily.
- Steep staircase with no ramp — challenging for guests with mobility issues
- Small room and bathroom size in some rooms
- Thin walls and noise carrying between rooms
- Loud air conditioning unit
- Barking guest dog disturbed sleep; limited common/living room space for relaxing
“All the possible conveniences of today in a beautiful, historic inn with easy walk to downtown. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Connie is an excellent host.”
“A beautiful, charming, 200 year old guest house. Staff were wonderful. Breakfast was amazing. Very convenient to restaurants and shopping.”
“Really delicious homemade breakfast. Friendly, helpful and convivial hostess. These two things made our stay five star.”
“The facilities were a bit outdated but understandable considering it was a historical building.”
“Four dogs were in residence during our stay. Three were well-behaved. The fourth barked incessantly, waking us at 715 am.”
