Beach Plum | Inn & Restaurant

I havent been here in almost 20 years and cant wait to come visit and stay a couple nights while Im in town. I worked at the restaurant in the summers of 2003-2004 if anyone I worked with reads this please contact me.

Lovely setting and nice staff. Meals are top notch but restaurant is currently not open all the time. They have special dinners that are the best in the Vineyard!

I really felt disappointed by this stay. The location of the hotel is lovely. However, the management is exceptionally lacking. The carbon monoxide alarm went off for a long time in the middle of night and woke up the whole hotel until the manager/staff drove over to shut it off (one of the other guests kindly called them) -- no communication about it, no apologies the next day. The room above dropped a glass that shattered outside our porch door. I asked the front desk to pleas clean up the glass shards in the morning, and at 8pm it was still not taken care of. Just an accident waiting to happen. There were cockroaches in our bathroom at night. There were a number of other issues (e.g., the fridge was broken and froze all of our food solid -- we had to throw many items away). For the price, I'd expect much more. On top of all this, there was an issue about how much we were charged that I needed to resolve with the manager, that we raised multiple times. She said she would follow up, and never did. In the end I was told to email her, but my multiple emails about reaching her have all been ignored -- literally no response. They advertise themselves also as a "top" MV wedding venue, and I can't possibly imagine anyone having success with holding a wedding here, given all the communication mishaps and poor attention to detail. I think this hotel has potential, but I would not recommend it at this time.

You mostly pay for the location here as even a barebones cabin on top of that hill overlooking Menemsha and the sound would be a pleasure to stay at. Unfortunately, the inn, including the neighboring sister property Menemsha inn, feel like they were bought up and converted into places to stay with minimal investment to preserve their history (some investment such as addition TVs is questionable). TV wiring is so haphazardly done that it detracts from quaintness of the inside. You dont get duvet covers just plain bedsheets for the price. I had to get rid of cockroaches during the stay. Management is virtually unresponsive once you pay for your stay. Finally, the walk to Menemsha is NOT a 1/8 of a mile as they claim. Prepare for a 20 min walk at least if using the trail and dont forget a bug spray. Walking on the road after sunset definitely didnt feel safe.

Beautiful setting for sure, loved our room with access to lobby and our own screened in porch, direct access outside! Great outdoor shower, needs hooks to hang clothes & towels inside! The mattress was one of the worst I've ever had at any hotel, especially surprising for an Inn with such a premium price. I'm going to need three nights of sleep at home to recover from two sleepless nights in the Astilbe room's bed. Snacks/drinks available on the porch were nice. Breakfast and the breakfast staff were great. The walk down to Menemsha Basin was good for the fit and able. Wish we had known we would need a car or cab to get to dinner, lunch or the good beach. Inn should get a shuttle van (even a minivan) to get people around the island. Or develop a real relationship with a local cab company.
