Those who have been to the Inn during or after a storm know what a mistake not coming is. One cannot describe in words how truly awe-inspiring the ocean is at those times. The waves are incredible! It's a humbling experience to just observe the immense power of the ocean.

There is an indoor pool with a Jacuzzi tub, a fitness center with a co-ed sauna, two year-round and two-seasonal restaurants, and many quiet nooks and chairs in which to sit and relax with a book. Stage Neck Inn also offers a day spa, The Spa at Stage Neck, in which you may enjoy body and nail treatments (massage, manicures, pedicures and more).
