Sandaway Suites & Beach

All was excellent, especially the view

We found this place completely by accident on a cross country road trip, scrolling through Expedia looking for somewhere to spend one night. But this place is a treasure! The location is perfect. Right on the Chesapeake Bay, it has its own private beach, a sprawling lawn dotted with Adirondack chairs, and some of the most peaceful views I’ve ever experienced. The bay was serene. But also, lively? There was a children’s sailing camp out on the water for goodness sake. The lifestyle this little town has was mesmerizing to watch. Like we’d stepped into the Truman Show in the best possible way. The hospitality is 5⭐️. Ben was amazing! We were given a complimentary room upgrade, too (chandelier room). Our favorite parts: the clawfoot tub, a private screened porch overlooking the water, the sweetest welcome gift that included this little oyster shell trinket made by a local artist that I absolutely adore. The stay also included fresh coffee and pastries quietly delivered to your door each morning. Binoculars left for birdwatching on the bay. A dehumidifier in the room. Kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, beach chairs… every time we turned around we discovered another thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a sleek, modern luxury hotel, this isn’t it… but that’s exactly why it’s so special. Every little imperfection tells a story. It feels authentic, cozy, and wonderfully preserved.

Such a charming inn directly on the water. Adirondacks chairs for everyone to use and a beautiful sunset. The staff couldn't have been nicer.

This place is amazing! Ben went way over and above with hospitality. He has what he calls 7 o’clock coffee where he delivers coffee and pastries on your doorstep. Who does this? No one. The view of the bay is incredible. Will definitely stay again longer next time.
