We had stayed here in 2012 as it was so close to where we used to live in 1980-81. It was a…read morefabulous choice. We had been back to the area in 2017 but in mid summer elected to get a beach house rental for the week, walkable to Surf Drive Beach. But this fall we were returning for a shorter visit in order to see more of New England and friends from our past, so we booked here again. We learned that the inn had been sold in the interim and called to make a reservation. We discovered that the new owners Liza and Alfredo still ran it as an Inn but no longer as a Bed and Breakfast as they also had other careers and school age children. The name has been changed just a bit to reflect this. Though it was lovely in the past, we found it even more so now, even without the breakfast. You will not starve in the area. We did not, there are many choices. The Inn is just as lovely as before, though we were here in early fall during a rainy week, it was still very comfortable. If anything, the many updates made it even more so. It had been 11 years since our last visit, yet so much of the normal wear and tear we had expected were not visible. It was so fresh and cheerful in a mostly gloomy weather week. But we enjoyed every minute of our time in Woods Hole and Falmouth, from Nobska light, now restored and open twice a week for tours (do go up to the top of the tower) , Spohr Gardens, preparing for winter but monarchs still in the butterfly house, with some renovations to the aging wooden dock underway, Oyster Pond almost into fall colors, so much to see. Some new businesses to us on Main St in Falmouth, like Estia for Greek food right near the Green. For the first time ever, in a visit to Woods Hole, we did not see the drawbridge on Water Street open even once, though we ate two breakfasts at the venerable Pie in the Sky and a dinner at the Kidd. The labs were quieter than we have seen since our winter of 1980-81 though the research vessels in port. Still some activity around the Ferries but less than full summer. If you are fit and it is not raining, the Shining Sea bike path is still well used. It was so nice to be back, almost like coming home, which our former space was such a short distance from the Inn. Though busy with other careers too, Liza and Alfredo were very approachable and involved. When making arrangements for our reservations, Liza was accessible and full of information. She was raised nearby and knows everything about the area. Though they have 3 children, we never heard a peep or any disruption. It was a school week and they were taking care of their business too. We hope to return another time, in the summer, this really is our go-to place to stay in the area and in summer, I am sure the kids might be helping out too. We were so busy, I neglected to take any pictures but the previous ones are still good guides, minus the breakfast food. The room interior was still the historic furnishings but the usable floorings and bath fixtures are very new and modern. Do not hesitate, it is not a creaky old inn, like some places I have stayed around the country. It is respectful of the history but thoroughly modern where needed.

Beautiful inn in Woods Hole with delicious breakfast and lovely grounds!…read more My two friends and I enjoyed a wonderful two-night stay at Woods Hole Passage for Labor Day weekend. My friend made the reservation so I can't speak to that part, but I know the host answered a lot of questions via email before our stay. We checked on a Saturday around 3pm. The host (sorry, I forgot her name!) checked us in and gave us several maps of Woods Hole, Falmouth, and the Cape, giving us an overview of restaurants and activities nearby. She also offered us any beer and beverages in the mini frig in the dining room as well as checked in with any food allergies for breakfast. She was very accommodating for my friend with a gluten allergy. We got our keys to the upstairs room with a queen and twin bed. The room was very clean, airy, and had everything we needed. It included a closet with two robes, several towels in the bathroom, and a water pitcher with glasses. Breakfast the next morning was served between 8:30-9:30am outside on the deck area. The tables each had an umbrella, place settings, and a beautiful view of the yard with hydrangeas and other flowers all around. The first day we were there, we were served coffee and tea with juices inside (serve yourself) and mini muffins. Outside, the host brought us yogurt parfaits with fruit and granola to start. Then we were served a delicious bread pudding with berries and two sausage links. This was my favorite breakfast! The second day we had watermelon and blueberries then a potato frittata with red peppers on the side. Very filling and delicious too! The host also let us borrow beach towels and chairs for our first day at the beach. She gave us plenty of information on the beaches and parking. Any question we had, she was super helpful in answering! I could keep going on and on, but you get the idea! We checked out and left with a sweet gift of chocolate covered nuts and fruit!

The beach house was cozy and quiet. Every morning when we woke up, we smelled and were offered fresh baked cookies. I would absolutely come back here again.

There were a couple seating arrangements outside, one which was a deck sitting area off the lower level and the other was a sitting garden/green space with nice Adirondacks chairs. The Inn Keeper Kara was fabulous. She made sure everyone was taken care of and had everything they needed for their stay as well as provided recommendations on where to go and things to do/see. It was my birthday getaway and she even went above and beyond and put a birthday sign over the fireplace with a nautical themed candy display of lobster gummies,etc. The house keeping staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The owner Karen was there as well and we had a very nice conversation about her ownership of the inn and island itself. I would highly recommend this Inn to anyone and can't wait to come back in the future! Thank you, Sherburne Inn! Mackenzie

The breakfast was very nice and they had a lot of common rooms that were empty so we were able to access and enjoy. I will say, it is an older building and with that comes noise. I am a very sensitive sleeper and water in the pipes would run about once every hour and it was loud, even getting through my ear plugs. You can also hear all the guest noise, so if you're noise sensitive I would avoid. The room is more suited for a couple and there was not a lot of counter space (girls know why this would be an issue). Otherwise it was a very beautiful spot, great location, awesome staff and nice amenities, just be aware of the noise

We arrived early on the ferry and lucked out because our room was ready! That was a really nice surprise! It was a bit tricky to find our room in the renovated barn but worth the hunt. We had the cutest patio! Not every room has one so snag it up if it's available. We sat out in the morning with our coffee. Complimentary breakfast. Wonderful coffee and sparkling water on tap! Warm cookies in the afternoon! Seriously we could smell them from outside! Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom shower was large however the bathroom was tiny. Only one person could get ready. No problem because they had other mirrors in the room. I would definitely recommend!

For the price of the rooms and the quick walk to the center of Oak Bluffs, the cottage was great. The staff were all extremely friendly and the rooms were very quaint. I had a great time there and the reason I'm writing such a great review is that I left a bracelet and my car keys in the room and noticed after I had already taken the ferry to the mainland. The owner graciously brought my keys to the ferry which was leaving 15 minutes later so that the ferry staff could give them to me. I thought it was unbelievably kind and hospitable and I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend Shearer Cottage to anyone visiting the Vineyard.
