The Blue Wave Inn is located directly on the water. We woke up to wonderful sunrises and ended the day with spectacular sunsets. The limited amount of rooms makes for a quiet, restful stay. It’s the exact opposite of a large, chain hotel! The contactless access makes checking in and out simple and easy. My wife especially enjoys the jetted tub, and I was impressed with the large, walk in, dual head shower. The water pressure is as good as I’ve ever experienced in a hotel! If you’re looking for a higher end hotel, that’s easy to find, easy to get in to, is close to a variety of restaurants, you’ll want to stay at the Blue Wave Inn! This was our second stay, and it won’t be the last!

The weather was cold and windy so we were unable to enjoy the patio or outdoor facilities. We didnt have the opportunity to experience the bar or restraunt due to a private party being held during our stay. The room was very nice and we would stay there again.

This place was going to try and scam me for a $100 dollar lots key fee. They use traditional keys and have a notice that if a key is lost that they charge $100. They also instruct you leave keys in room upon checkout. Luckily I took pictures of the keys when i left. They contacted me 5 days after my stay and asked me about the missing key. I responded with the picture of the keys and told them to not bother scamming me to which they responded "okay"

Check in was quick and easy. Very clean room and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again. The only downside is that shop and bar area closed at 4 pm. Would recommend staying open a little longer.
