We just had our fifth stay at the Anchor Inn. It's clean, quiet, and ideally located within walking distance of downtown. Those under the age of eighteen are not allowed to stay in the main hotel, which is a definite plus for us. Breakfast is included and made to order. It's something to consider with the price of eating on the island. My wife says the rooms are beautifully appointed. I won't stay anywhere else for fear of her being disappointed.

My husband and I had a great stay over the weekend at the Anchor Inn Boutique hotel! It is very well maintained and decorated. The breakfast is FABULOUS! I have celiac disease and cannot consume gluten. The chef made me gluten free waffles that were amazing! They also have gluten free bread available and a toaster only used for the gluten free bread available. It is quaint and quiet! We wouldn’t stay anywhere else on the island!

Wonderful adult hotel

This is a wonderful adult boutique hotel. The food was great for breakfast and the room was a nice size. The room was very clean and having water for guest was much appreciated.its close to everything in walking distance, however away from the crazier hotels on the island. They have some bikes you can use to get around the island or across the street you can rent a golf cart. We will be back for sure.

We had a lovely stay on July 24th. The Anchor Inn is centrally located, within walking distance of the harbor and the Main Street downtown. Our room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was large and updated. The breakfast they served was delicious. Everything was fresh and such a variety on the menu. Lovely. We ate our breakfast outside on the front porch. We will definitely stay at the Anchor Inn for our next visit.
