Item Description

Two night stay at the Tidewater Motel on Vinalhaven. To be used between Labor Day & Memorial Day (September 6, 2011 to May 28, 2012).

The Tidewater Motel is built on a bridge separating Carver's Harbor to the south from Carver's Pond, its tidal estuary, to the north. The same rush of ocean water coming and going right under your harborside room once powered a blacksmith shop and grist mill on the site. Soon we hope the water will be generating power again. Installation of the world's first helical turbine is underway. If successful, it will supply much of the motel's power.

Few views can equal those at the Tidewater and few places are as relaxing; the ebb and flow is nature's own sedative. Still, the world's most productive lobster fleet, anchored right outside your window, gets an early start, so you may not want to sleep in. Open year-round, the Tidewater is the island's only motel. If you want to be closer to the water, you'll want to bring a towel.
