Fodor's Expert Review Stage Neck Inn

A family-run operation that is now in the competent hands of the second generation, this resort hotel takes full advantage of its gorgeous harborside location, with Adirondack chairs, chaise longues, and a fire pit on the surrounding lawns; water views from most guest rooms; and floor-to-ceiling windows in the common spaces. Amenities include an indoor pool and hot tub, large beachside outdoor pool, an intimate spa, well-maintained clay tennis courts, and access to local golf courses.
