We stayed at the Dockside Inn for one night over Memorial Day weekend. From the very beginning, our experience could not have been better. Upon calling to make the reservation for two rooms, we were told that there would be no problem having a pack-n-play put in one in order to accomodate our two year old niece. Upon arrival, we...

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was recently updated and very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. It was an excellent value and included unlimited snacks, coffee, water, etc. Beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers w/ ice are also available. We will definitely go back again.

Just spent last week at the Dockside Inn with my new husband for our honeymoon, and it was a wonderful experience! The hotel is right in the middle of the action in Oak Bluffs with many restaurants and harbor all around. The hotel was very clean, and had great extras - like a hot tub, beach gear including coolers and... More

The hotel itself was in a superb location, right on the waterfront. Rooms were clean and tidy and the hotel offered an amazing snack room which was all complimentary. Bottled water, chips,... More

This Inn was fantastic. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower is great. The snack room with all of the free snacks was outstanding. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Great location. I can't say enough good things about it and I'm a hotel snob.

Greeted by friendly staff and given a tour of the facilities. Lovely touch to have a complimentary lounge area where you could get coffee, water, popcorn. crisps, fruit etc. Beach gear room was really useful. We took some towels, chairs and an umbrella to the beach with us - great not to have to bring these with you! If we... More

Perfect little place. Stones throw away from the OB ferry. The complimentry bottles of water and snacks are awesome, and the beach room with coolers and chairs for guest to use is great. The text-Loomis feature was great too, very unique. Just a very easy, pleasent stay. Thanks Dockside & GO GATORS!!!

We had an awesome experience. We will definitely stay at the Dockside Inn again when we come back to the vineyard. Great time overall. Loved the extra benefits (waters, coffee, snacks, beach chairs, towels, coolers, ice, beach bags, etc. etc.). Very friendly and helpful staff. We will come again to stay for sure!

This is my second time staying at the Dockside and I still LOVE it! This time we took our two kids (1 and 6) and it couldn't have been more accomodating. The staff are very friendly and helpul; especially Kathy who made my daughter smile each time she saw her. We stayed in Suite 32 and it was perfect. The... More
