We were on a month long road trip, and spent 2 nights. The property with it's history is quite interesting, and the host was quite attentive to our needs, Located within walking distance to restaurants, it is an ideal location. The breakfast served goes way beyond expectations. I predict you won't be disappointed with your stay,

This was such a unique experience, not like any regular hotel. Staying at the Shipwright feels like experiencing a part of history. The place is also very well kept, clean, and good breakfast. Wifi is also very fast, better than most similarly priced hotels. Would definitely recommend, and would return here.

Dorian be damned!

Stayed for 5 nights. Very comfortable room. Had great breakfast each morning. Location was excellent-very handy for walking to the old downtown and waterfront area. Jason and staff were friendly, warm hosts. Stayed during hurricane and Jason and his staff didn’t miss a beat! Power out for 12 hours but breakfast was warm, tasty and ready to go at 8am! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay!

James just became the new owner but you wouldn't know it. Everything ran smoothly. Staff was excellent and very helpful. This place is like a little museum wlth the decor so check these items out along with James's travel map. The room was very comfortable and had a nice fireplace insert. The bathroom is smaller but was perfect for me. Breakfast was great. Easy walk to town so I just left my car there.
