Not bad. It's walking distance to the beach. The property is renovating a few rooms at a time. My room had not been updated yet but it was comfortable. The location is good. No complaints

We did not get to stay as they did not have a room for us and called the morning we started traveling to tell us. The person on the phone was very rude and unhelpful.

We brought our daughter down for the weekend for her birthday. We have stayed here in past and now the rooms and been updated and so pretty. I loved sitting out back in the sitting area/kitchen. The staff was nothing short of amazing. We loved every second of our trip and we will be going back.

We stayed at the Beacon Hotel in Salter Path and had a great experience overall. Christina, our main point of contact, was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay. The price was very reasonable considering the location, just a short walk (about 400 feet) to the beach. That said, be aware that the stairs down to the beach are pretty steep, so it might be a bit tricky if you’re carrying a lot of gear or have mobility concerns. Our double queen room was the perfect size for two people. I could see it working for two adults and maybe two small kids, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a larger group. The room stayed wonderfully cool thanks to a quiet and efficient AC, which was much appreciated during the heat wave this part of the country was experiencing during our trip. It was clean, comfortable, and had just about everything we needed. A couple small improvements like more outlets between the beds, blackout curtains, and maybe a desk or vanity in the little nook near the bathroom would’ve made it even better. One thing to note is that sound travels easily through the walls, so you’ll likely hear folks walking by or chatting outside. It didn’t ruin our stay, but it’s something to be aware of. Outside, the hotel really shines. There’s a patio area with a shower to rinse off after the beach, plus an outdoor lounge area with games, beach toys, umbrellas, even an outdoor kitchen setup. They also offer two bikes.

We had the most incredible time at this cozy beach spot! The place has direct beach access, making it so easy to enjoy the sand and waves. The location offers the perfect view to catch both sunrise and sunset – truly breathtaking. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic gas grill for cooking, and everything we needed was readily available. A huge shoutout to Christina, who was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her kindness and attentiveness made our stay so much more enjoyable, and she truly made the experience 10x better. This wasn’t our first time staying here, and it definitely won’t be the last. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else – this place is a gem! 5 stars all around!

The hotel is in a convenient location to the beach, store and several restaurants. Also the proprietor was helpful and pleasant.

Convenient. Great location. Beach access. Clean. Just what I needed for a long weekend getaway. There was a lot of commotion from an arguing couple in an adjoining room for several hours but that’s no fault of the host or a reflection of a typical stay. I plan to return! Thanks “Beacon!”
