This place is clean, and beautiful. They have wonderful wrap around porches and even have a library. Breakfast was hot and different every day. Not a huge breakfast, but nice. We came with kids and I will have to say that not being right on the beach had some disadvantages. It's not a long walk except when you're trying to... more

This was our second stay at the First Colony Inn. We just love it! We stayed there the first week of September. The weather wasn't great, but we had a great time anyway! We traveled with another couple who stayed just a couple rooms away. We spent alot of time on the decks outside our rooms! Rocking chairs, swings...wine and... more

I am sorry to see these negative reviews below, we had such a great experience! First Colony Inn is larger than your average b&b so there are some small differences you notice such as the lack of an "innkeeper presence" and the breakfast is buffet style but it was just as nice as a small, quaint b&b (and we have... more

We were expecting a nice, historic facility near the beach, but we got something quite different. It reminded my of the wilderness camp I went to when I was young. You get into your room via a rusty, creaking storm door, and the inside was gross. It was musty, there were stains all over the carpet, and there was sand... more

I was so excited to stay at this Inn! It was very nice. Great sized rooms, wonderful yard to play in, great wrap-around deck with rocking chairs to sit and relax on... Only drawback, and this is minor, is that it is not oceanfront. It is across the street and down a little boardwalk. Every one here was really nice... more

All considered, we liked First Colony Inn. Nicely appointed, spacious, well maintained rooms, comfortable beds. Breakfast not spectacular but good. Friendly, helpful staff, but don't expect help lugging baggage upstairs. Would, however, agree with previous reviewers who write about the proximity to ocean and views: there really aren't any. We were on the third floor; the guy who booked us... more

Although the First Colony Inn is not on the ocean, it is only a short walk across the street to a lovely, quiet and very clean beach. The Inn itself is architechturally interesting, with a sprawling porch and rocking chairs, a nice lawn, and an outdoor swimming pool (which would be nice in the summer).. The room was large, comfortable... more

I booked an "oceanview" room, only to find out that the hotel is between a highway and a major road. Oceanview is like saying the room faces Europe -- it is out there somewhere. I had expected ocean breezes going through my room. But the hotel is -- according to the front desk clerk -- "set back 500 feet" from... more

Took my sister for a "big" birthday trip. Staff pleasant yet very low key (excellent!). Very comfortable and welcoming inn. Great room (#15). Wonderful amenities. Nice bathroom products, fridge, micro, minibar. Lovely breakfast. Afternoon wine & cheese; great out in the sun on the lovely back deck. Free beach towels and beach chairs. Really, all the modern conveniences we like,... more
