1st grandparent vacation with our little ones.

The Refuge Inn was perfect. Everyone was friendly, helpful and it was very clean and quiet. There was a nice area for picnicking and a combo indoor/outdoor pool. They had a sack breakfast, that was included, that you chose the night before and it was delivered to your door at your specified time in the morning.The croissant egg sandwiches were tasty and freshly made. The icing on the cake were the Assateague ponies that you could feed right on the property.

The ponies are on view close to the motel. We haven't visited for a number of years and recognize that the rooms have been refurnished. Having a desk is always a plus if traveling with a computer and then to have a cafe size table made the king room seem like a suite. The pool is very pleasant and our room faced a grassy side of the motel with large trees and a picnic table. Walking distance of restaurants.

Wish we hadn't left!

This was such a wonderful weekend trip! The staff were so kind and went above and beyond to allow us early check in, give us recommendations for the town, and overall gave very motherly vibes. We enjoyed the horses on the property as well as the breakfast you can order the night before to have left at your door in the morning. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

Little gem! Authentic to the island with exceptional attention to detail and service! Totally recommend and planning to go back there again. The best part is the ponies that you get to hand feed and relaxing pool area/jacuzzi. Word of caution - bring bug spray - we encountered A LOT of mosquitos!
