When we drove up that little Mansion we could not believe our Eyes. Directly on the water in a magical setting...something we will never forget and definitely will revisit! We were greeted and got a tour that justified its history. We did have perfect weather conditions, so when we came back from dinner, we enjoyed ourselves for a little walk around the gardens and lake. The view from our balcony was stunning...you really have to pinch yourself...just making sure you're not dreaming...it made us feel happy as can be. The next morning...David prepared a beautiful spread of breakfast. Crab &Swiss cheese omelette, roasted Yukon potato, turkey bacon, country sausage, the bread basket had lavish varieties and customed as well towards my girl who has celiac disease with gluten free options, Room tempered butter, I think even the raspberry marmalade was homemade, fresh berries...I mean nothing was missing and it was put together with such care. Since we were the first of the season...David was able to join us. What a great morning we had thanks to him...thank you so very much!! A must see venue, that is highly recommended!

I brought my 10 year old son over on one of the ferry's from Crisfield to visit Smith Island this…read morepast weekend, we stayed at the Smith Island Motel with Allen and Dory as our hosts. My boy loved the boat ride over, and just about every second of it except for leaving. Allen took us fishing and we caught Rockfish (my sons first Rock), Drum, and trout. Dory made us homemade pizza and a wonderful breakfast with eggs and scrapple. The photo's and memories we made will be with us forever even though we were only there for a night. If you want to experience true Smith Island living for a little while this is where to go and the right people to be with. If you haven't been to Smith Island read up on it a little ahead so you know what to expect, time stands still here but that is the entire point of going. Ask a lot of questions and learn, your hosts will be proud and happy to talk to you about the Island We are already planning a trip back in the spring!

The room was clean and comfortable. I loved learning about the crabbing business. I definitely have a better appreciation of it and will never again complain about the price of them on the menu. They are worth every penny and then some. These guys work really hard. Smith Island is enchanting and is definitely a place worth coming back to when one wants to escape the everyday life of work, consumerism, traffic, and the like. Everyone on the Island both at Ewell and Tylerton were so warm and welcoming. I've never experienced anything like this before. I was there for the 4th of July weekend and it experienced a bit of Americana with the kids parading in their decorated bikes and the adults in the golf carts. Dory made sure that I enjoyed all the festivities taking place on the island. She is definitely the hostess with the mostest.

A TRUE S...HOLE!!!…read more Filthy, dirty, broken amenities. Couldn't even call the front desk BECAUSE THE PHONE WASN'T WORKING. And pretty sure some illegals were living on the first floor -- basket of corn, clothes and shoes, chairs and a portable grill outside their room. Called the front desk from my cell phone for a refund -- they refused but moved us to another SHITTY room. That one didn't even have sheets on the bed. We slept in our clothes on top of the comforter. The pillows were disgusting, so we covered them with towels. ALL THIS FOR ONLY $145 Probably should have slept in the car.

The exterior is not bad, but the owners are refacing the entire hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the rooms and the view of the marina from the second story balcony is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely stay here again.

You should know all rooms are on either the second or third floor, accessed by steps only, and…read morethere is no one there to help with your luggage. You reach the second floor via steep, narrow steps (about 30) with one hand rail. Assume third floor is similar. Not senior citizen friendly. And don't believe the description that says there is a chair lift. During our stay, my wife slipped on about the fifth step from the top and tumbled to the bottom. Fortunately she survived the fall, with some damage to her knee and bruising all over. Local rescue squad was prompt and professional. Ownership never reached out to us which is disappointing. We will find somewhere else to stay on our frequent visits to the Shore.

The bloom is off the rose under the new management unfortunately…read more Where before you were greeted by Gary or Charlotte at reception when you checked in, you are now greeted in an unstaffed and unlit vestibule with a letter containing directions to your room. Where before a breakfast was included each morning of your stay, you now are offered 15% off you breakfast, but more on that later. The dining area is a fraction its former charm, but still charming. The dinner menu is pretty good and both of our dinners each night of our stay there were excellent. For this reason I have given two stars. It would be impossible to say the same about breakfast. In one location, an 8AM breakfast opening was listed. Our Welcome Letter stated 830AM was the opening time. Neither time mattered, because on both mornings the Breakfast service wasn't even open. The entry to it was locked up like an after hours NYC Subway entrance. Saturday morning no human being could be found. We even went back at 10AM to see if it had opened yet, with no change. Sunday morning it was locked up, but there a woman behind the bar to give our key to as we checked out. On both mornings we had breakfast elsewhere. We stay at the hotel for special occasions, and this stay was no exception. Staying at the Charlotte Hotel and not having to leave it was always something we appreciated and looked forward to during the previous dozen or so times we had stayed there before. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be coming back.

Very nicely decorated, and just enough quirkiness to make the house very interesting to explore. The Ocean View room was very cozy and the bed very comfortable. There are porches on both the first and second floor, and we took advantage of the opportunity to just sit and relax each evening after dinner out. Our hostess, Carol, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the home and the area. Breakfasts were an absolute treat, both delicious and filling. Carol kindly made a fantastic gluten-free cinnamon apple coffee cake, which I really appreciated, and even my husband (who usually doesn't do gluten-free willingly) said it was top-notch. Definitely a place we plan to visit again!

HBO was advertised, but many of the cable/ premium channels didn't work. The internet was also spotty. The TV in the room had Netflix on it so you could sign in, but the net kept cutting out literally ever 1 min 30 seconds. The floors are hardwood and were really dusty. walking barefoot i could feel every single grain on the floor. The bathroom/ sink area were cool. coffe machine on the sink. microwave and mini fridge in room. The beds were pretty hard to sleep on. Breakfast was highly undesireable. The man who was putting food out, placed biscuits out with his bare hands. Mind you, he was also the receptionist. The food area is really small with 1 tv. Coffee is available, water was not. OJ was in a jug. There was a waffle maker, some cereal, bagels and muffins to choose from. The butter was the squeezable kind (yikes) and we all shared the cream cheese out of the tub. The bagel/ toaster barely toasted anything. Check out is at 11. We were granted late check out at 1130. The receptionist came around at 11:15 asking if we were leaving.. smh. Of course, we were running late than 11 so we asked for the late check out. That was pretty annoying. Cleaning kitchen supplies were right behind the counter for the breakfast food, smh. The pool is out front of the lobby and looks a hot mess right now. Its January but the pool has black looking filled water in it and the chairs seem to be all thrown about. There was a McDonalds, Burger King, Food Lion, Gas Station nearby. I would rather stay in Salisbury next time for an upgraded hotel/motel stay for the night.

We were excited to see the Rainbow and Trans flags when we pulled up and knew we were in a friendly place. The room was lovely and large. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we slept well. Although not on Chincoteague it is a short drive to the island which was beautiful every morning. The grounds of the inn are well maintained and beautifully cared for with paths between each building. The owner showed us where breakfast would be and even brought breakfast to our room one day. Breakfast was also wonderful every morning with juice, fruit, a sweet, and a main dish which was either sweet or savory depending on the day. Our breakfasts including a peach croissant casserole, and a hatch chili egg bake just to name a few. We regularly saw the owners around the grounds and they were always very friendly. We did not get to enjoy the pool but it looked lovely and well maintained. I have only two minor complaints which are more personal preference that actually complain. The room had four windows the were high on the wall which were not covered which woke my partner every morning. These should probably be either covered or the bed placement changed. The button for the big tub in the bathroom was very hard to push on and off. These are really minor things and do not distract from the overall wonderful experience we had. Of note there a ton on Mosquito's on the eastern shore and the islands. Make sure if you are traveling this way you bring bug spray. One last quick note, we got the soaps and lotion add one. The soaps and lotions were wonderful both made and to use. I would recommend this B and B to anyone who wants to enjoy Chincoteague and the eastern shore.

We also enjoyed borrowing the bicycles and the kayaks to help us explore the island.
