The stately building that houses the Tides Beach Club is a charming grande dame from the Gilded Age heyday of seaside "cure" retreats. Just steps from long, sandy Goose Rocks Beach, this lively inn is the epitome of laid-back, seaside-chic design, which extends into each of the spacious, bungalow-like rooms that are decorated in rich, feel-good ocean blue and coral hues.
This cluster of tidy, well-appointed cottages opened in 2022 in a quiet area that's still a stone's throw from beaches and Dock Square. The cottages might look tiny from the outside, but soaring ceilings and whitewashed walls make them feel spacious. The “little cottages” are for two adults only; children 12 and older can stay in the “big cottages.” Some cottages are dog-friendly.
