Snug Harbor Inn (CLOSED)

This charming, six-room inn, in the heart of Avalon and only steps to the beach, blends old-school charm with contemporary style and top-notch amenities. Case in point: Hot continental breakfast is brought to your room, comfy beach towels and chairs are on hand for trips to the sand, and the hotel’s Nanucket lounge offers complimentary wine and hor d’oeuvres. Other highlights include complimnetary Wi-Fi, in-room fireplaces, complimentary DVD rentals and king-sized beds in every room. The feel is more New England summer than SoCal, which is actually rather refreshing.
