Edgewater Inn And Suites

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent
"That the Edgewater is a perfectly located beachfront property. The swimming pool was clean and perfect temperature as well as the hot tub. It is located next to everything you could possibly need and there is even a laundromat on site. Walking distance to Pomeroy and the puer for all the action. The front office has a grab and go breakfast as 24-hour a day beverages. The front office staff is amazingly welcome me and kind. I would definitely recommend staying here! The AM front desk staff were extremely helpful kind! Shout out to finding me a green banana. 😊"
