Lodging

Test drive a Hallmark movie existence.

Port Medway has just enough going on — and just enough stillness — to make a short stay feel like a real escape. Mornings start with good coffee and ocean air. Afternoons might bring beachcombing, bookstore browsing, or a nap in the sun. Evenings mean live music, fresh-picked dinners, or a walk to watch the tide roll in.

It’s a great place to come with a friend, a partner, or a journal. To catch up, slow down, or start something new. Some people leave with sand in their shoes and a stack of postcards to send home. Others leave wondering what it might be like to stay forever.
