My husband & I recently traveled to the Blue Dory for a -too brief- 4 day trip. The inn is adorable, and the location was perfect – a short walk to the “downtown” & located right on the beach. Despite the convenience of the location to a more trafficked area, the Blue Dory projects an intimacy that gives one the sensation of it being tucked away and intimate. Though that may sound incongruous, the Blue Dory somehow manages to pull it off. Additionally, the inn is very clean, not just surface clean, but thoroughly cleaned. My understanding is that it is through the efficiency, dedication and commitment of Lily and Maria, and we have them to thank for that. While I did not interact directly with them, their diligence was apparent and they came across as pleasant and professional. These women also provided the fabulous happy hour spread and generous (& tasty!) breakfast in the morning. The happy hour treats were artfully arranged and frequently replenished. Yum! It was Julie and her graciousness (the innkeeper/hostess) that ensured we will return! Julie was composed, cheerful, incredibly helpful and an all around pleasure to be around! She was both effusive and friendly, chatty and wonderfully thoughtful, but also professional and knowledgeable. I consistently marveled at her level of competence and ability to juggle many tasks- all while smiling! It should be noted that while clearly busy, all 3 women maintained a cheerful attitude, certainly not easy when one has so many demands on her time! I cannot speak highly enough of her and her ability to anticipate a guests’ needs, and act on them so effortlessly!! Julie made our time on BI fantastic! BI is wonderful on its own, and the inn is perfect enough to warrant a trip back regardless. However, Julie was such a gem that I feel we have her to thank for such a memorable vacation! Many thanks to Lily, Maria & Julie. Highly suggest!!
