Reviews for Beach Plum Inn in Chilmark, MA
I really felt disappointed by this stay. The location of the hotel is lovely. However, the management is exceptionally lacking.... The carbon monoxide alarm went off for a long time in the middle of night and woke up the whole hotel until the manager/staffdrove over to shut it off (one of the other guests kindly called them) -- no communication about it, no apologies the next day.The room above dropped a glass that shattered outside our porch door. I asked the front desk to pleas clean up the glass shardsin the morning, and at 8pm it was still not taken care of. Just an accident waiting to happen. There were cockroaches in ourbathroom at night. There were a number of other issues (e.g., the fridge was broken and froze all of our food solid -- we had tothrow many items away). For the price, I'd expect much more. On top of all this, there was an issue about how much we werecharged that I needed to resolve with the manager, that we raised multiple times. She said she would follow up, and never did.In the end I was told to email her, but my multiple emails about reaching her have all been ignored -- literally no response.They advertise themselves also as a "top" MV wedding venue, and I can't possibly imagine anyone having success with holding awedding here, given all the communication mishaps and poor attention to detail. I think this hotel has potential, but I wouldnot recommend it at this time. Read more
I haven’t been here in almost 20 years and can’t wait to come visit and stay a couple nights while I’m in town. I worked... at the restaurant in the summers of 2003-2004 if anyone I worked with reads this please contact me. Read more
Beautiful setting for sure, loved our room with access to lobby and our own screened in porch, direct access outside! Great... outdoor shower, needs hooks to hang clothes & towels inside! The mattress was one of the worst I've ever had at any hotel, especially surprising for an Inn with such a premium price. I'm going to need three nights of sleep at home to recover from twosleepless nights in the Astilbe room's bed. Snacks/drinks available on the porch were nice. Breakfast and the breakfast staffwere great. The walk down to Menemsha Basin was good for the fit and able. Wish we had known we would need a car or cab to getto dinner, lunch or the good beach. Inn should get a shuttle van (even a minivan) to get people around the island. Or develop areal relationship with a local cab company. Read more
Lovely setting and nice staff. Meals are top notch but restaurant is currently not open all the time. They have special dinners... that are the best in the Vineyard! Read more
Nice place, but the water pressure in the shower was too light, and the hot water took ten minutes to get hot enough to shower. ... Also, it was humid, so we kept finding bugs in the room: two daddy long legs, a couple of ants, and a few small moths. AND oneof the cold/hot air vents in the ceiling kept DRIPPING. We had to put a towel on the floor so as not to slip. This was in theDelphinium Room. The grounds were beautiful, but the room itself needed work. Read more
Once a year the proprietors fly in disabled veterans from all over the US. It is called the Salt Water Challenge. I was... fortunate enough to be chosen for the trip. Everything about this establishment is amazing and highly recommend it to everyone.Aside from the amazing views is the amazing food. The whole experience is kind of like stepping back in time. All stores on theisland are Mom & Pop establishments. Read more
Well kept property in a very peaceful and family friendly environment, across from a gorgeous and very quiet part of the beach.... The room we stayed in was an efficiency studio with a great balcony that can accommodate 2-4 people. Would stay here again. Read more
You mostly pay for the location here as even a barebones cabin on top of that hill overlooking Menemsha and the sound would be a... pleasure to stay at. Unfortunately, the inn, including the neighboring sister property Menemsha inn, feel like they were boughtup and converted into places to stay with minimal investment to preserve their history (some investment such as addition TVsis questionable). TV wiring is so haphazardly done that it detracts from quaintness of the inside. You don’t get duvet coversjust plain bedsheets for the price. I had to get rid of cockroaches during the stay. Management is virtually unresponsive onceyou pay for your stay. Finally, the walk to Menemsha is NOT a 1/8 of a mile as they claim. Prepare for a 20 min walk at least ifusing the trail and don’t forget a bug spray. Walking on the road after sunset definitely didn’t feel safe. Read more
