Admiral Dewey Inn

The Inn although more like a B & B (as there is no restaurant) is a perfect place to stay to be near the Ocean. The living room and dining room were nicely appointed with antiques. Our guest room with private bath was clean. We appreciated that there were no televisions on the property. Very nice atmosphere, we will be back again.

The Admiral Dewey Inn was so charming and we look forward to returning if/when in the area in the future. Things we loved: the location was PERFECT, the rooms quaint, quiet and clean, the decor in the common areas is lovely, the rockers on the big covered porch, the access to bikes and beach chairs at the house, the community kitchen was clean and equip with a water cooler with spring water (its the little things) fresh coffee and delicious lemon poppyseed scones in the morning and provided labels for guests to tag their personal food/beverages to place in the fridge, the other guests were friendly and clearly also enjoying their stay, all staff we interacted with were very friendly, the list goes on. We cannot say anything negative about this lovely hidden gem. A big and special "thank you" to Emily, the GM who returned clothing I left behind in the wardrobe upon check out. We live out of state so when I called to inquire, without hesitation, she got them mailed out to me in a timely fashion, followed up via email to confirm and told me not to worry about the charge for the shipping. It was so unexpected and so incredibly gracious. A lovely establishment run by even more lovely folks. Thanks for making everything about our visit perfect! We will continue to recommend the Admiral Dewey Inn to all and cant wait to find an excuse to visit again. Thank you Emily and staff!

We had a wonderful stay at this nice B & B. Emily the hard working GM was hospitable and friendly. Great location, short walk to the beach. It was nice that there was no television, room was spotless and quiet. Our first visit, we plan to return again soon.

Older building restored very nicely. Room 5 great, private bath. AC unit a little loud but kept room nice and cool. No TVs but we didn't miss it as we enjoyed beach, food and drink. Relaxing feel in hotel but main benefit is easy walk to beach, 2 bar/restaurants, ice cream shop. Suggest bringing cart for walk to beach. Continental breakfast was good. Nice kitchen and fridge off dining room.

I spent 2 days in the King Size Room 9 with Ocean Views in early June 2025. The Location, staff and fellow guests were fantastic.

My sister, niece and I stayed at the Admiral Dewey in February. We loved everything about the Inn! We were made to feel at home and found the room to be very comfortable, nicely decorated and spacious. The view of Block Island from the third floor was an added bonus! We spent time relaxing in the living room of the Inn before going out to enjoy The Pub and the Ocean Mist, which are both right down the road from the Inn. Expect great food, service and fun (including live music) at both places. Matunuck has a very relaxed, fun vibe, and staying at the Admiral Dewey just adds to the experience. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful inn. My friend and I stayed for the 4th of July and it was perfect. The rooms are very clean and the beds are super comfortable. I love the fact that each room has its own air conditioner. The shared bathroom was also exceptionally clean. We didn’t get the chance to try it, but they do offer breakfast in the morning which is very nice! As for the location, that may the best part. It’s right next to a nice little market that has everything you’d need and a 2 minute walk to the beach. It’s also less than a mile from Theater by the Sea and the Ocean Mist! The woman at the front desk, whose name I believe was Carol, was so friendly and made us feel instantly welcomed. This Inn will be a yearly tradition for years to come!

We stayed in the Loft Suite and LOVED It! The staff was incredibly helpful (esp Tina) who made the whole experience so easy and convenient. We were able to walk to the beach and local bars without any problem whatsoever. The room was very cute, beds were comfy, and felt so cozy like it was one of our own homes. The price was worth every penny, amazing value!

A charming Inn in the perfect location! We enjoyed our two night stay here, as it was within walking distance of so many things such as the South Kingstown Town Beach, the Vanilla Bean ice cream shop, the Seaview Marketplace, and the stores and shops downtown such as the Surf Shop, the Pizza shop. the Pub, and the Ocean Mist. We loved all the amenities here available to guests such as the bicycles, continental breakfast, a water filling station for refillable water bottles, and beach towels and chairs. This charming inn has its quirks as it is part of the National Registry of Historical Places, but its charm is undeniable with its wrap around porch, tastefully redesigned common spaces, and self serve style service.

The "Brunch" was actually a standing-room-only, Hors d'oeuvre session with no tables or chairs. The coffee, my god, was really bad. Gritty is the word that comes to my mind and watered down. For the food, they handed you small plates, and you walked around with your drink while you tried to balance and eat your food. At one point, I had to use the fireplace mantle for my coffee. It was expensive, and we expected a chef to prepare and serve extraordinary food. I feel bad for the chef they brought into the place. The ambiance and inept setup overshadowed his food. Sorry, we won't be going back!

Beautiful B & B complete with wrap around porch and an outdoor shower literally steps away from South Kingstown Town Beach. The host is super friendly and informative being sure to explain all COVID related requirements. We were able to walk from the Inn to the Ocean Mist very easily. We also walked to SKTB both mornings we were there. The parking lots were very clean, not overcrowded at all and the bathrooms were sufficient. Come for the beach - stay for the breakfast! Levon cooked up a delicious apple bacon dish as well as a peach cobbler type dish this morning. I loved having my breakfast on the big, beautiful porch overlooking the meticulously maintained grounds with a hot cup of coffee. I would definitely recommend staying here and enjoying some beach time to anyone. This particular stay was a girls trip and the two twin beds with private bath fit the bill for a night away at the beach.

We booked a room 6 months in advance so my cousin could attend out 50th wedding anniversary party. We paid in full for the 2 nights. 6 days before the party my cousin came down with covid and we had to cancel the reservation. Unfortunately their reservation policy requires a 7 day notice to receive a full refund. So why the 5 star review? The manager went "above and beyond" to find someone to rent our room so they could refund our deposit. The service and support were exceptional. We will direct everyone there who comes to visit us in Matunuck.

I did not stay at this wonderful little place BUT my parents did recently for their 32nd wedding anniversary. Before they arrived, I called and spoke with Levon, the Innskeeper. I explained the situation and asked if I could ask a HUGE favor of him, to leave a bottle of Prosecco & bag of peanut M&M's in my parents room w/ a note from their favorite daughter, me. Not only did he do it right away & text me a photo of the perfect surprise treat setup, but he wouldn't let me pay him for it!! Levon, if you're reading this, message me your Venmo handle ASAP! I cannot thank him enough for his incredible generosity. I am so beyond grateful, and my parents thought it was the most perfect little treat. Thank you so much!

I gave it a 5 star. The rooms are great. I had 6 people who stayed with me. The breakfast Levon makes outstanding cuisine. It is difficult to get a Uber/ Lyft out here so rent a car. Beach is walking distance. Theater by the Sea 20 minutes walk. Everything is walking distance from this Inn. Clean and had all the amenities that you need. I went during the summer months in July. No a/c in our room but we were fine with the windows open and the fan on. Fresh air is the best to go to sleep. Next door is a deli shop. The baguettes hot and delicious. You need to ask for it. It is a great place to relax and get away from your busy schedule. It is a must see.

My husband and I just returned from a weekend at the Admiral Dewey Inn and we enjoyed it so much! The inn is super clean and has so much character. We loved sitting on the big front porch in the morning and in the evening, and the pretty beach is a really short walk away. There's also an ice cream shop right down the road and a little grocery store next door. What really made our visit was the owner Levon - he was beyond kind and helpful, made a great breakfast and even cookies for us one afternoon. Felt like staying at a friend's house! We're already planning on heading back!

A historic seaside retreat is a car ride away from Manhattan! My husband and I discovered Matunuck Beach Rhode Island a year ago and loved it so much we built a house there. While we waited to occupy our new home, we stayed at the Admiral Dewey Inn for several weekends. This elegant victorian matron of a house was perfect for us. Across a small road from the beach, it offered relaxed and comfortable accomodations with a truly Rhode Island vibe. The Admiral Dewey Inn is 2 1/2 hours from NYC (longer on a Friday night in summer!) in some of the most beautiful ocean front property in RI. If you are looking to get away for a weekend, this is a great destination. Levon provides a wonderful breakfast, beach towels, and even bikes for touring around. We enjoyed live rock music and fresh fish at the Ocean Mist and relaxed ocean front roof top dining at the Pub right around the corner. I can only imagine how lovely it will be in the fall as the leaves turn.

this is our fourth year taking a late-season beach jaunt (our annual very delayed mother's day getaway!) at the admiral dewey.... we started coming here when levon bought the place and keep coming back because we love it. it's clean, quiet, and laura is very accommodating with our coming and going and perpetual snacking! good coffee is ready early, and a dee-licious but un-fussy breakfast is made for us every morning. we are sent off for our beach day with a homemade muffin to go, plus there is cereal available all day long for post-surf snacking. NEW SUPER BONUS! they have a fleet of sweet beach cruiser bikes! two minute ride to town beach... easy cruise to matunuck beach, moonstone, theatre by the sea...

Levon was the absolute best innkeeper ever! Delicious breakfast every single morning. Accommodating to all lifestyles...vegans, vegetarians etc. No need for air conditioning the breeze is just right. He also provides a fan in each room. Rooms are clean and everyone is friendly. Levon even sat us down and gave us recommendations for places to eat and tourist attractions. He's super helpful and I cannot thank him enough!! Extremely good deal especially for a weekend getaway. :)

We recently stayed at the Admiral Dewey Inn by chance and it was the best bed and breakfast we've ever experienced. We were on a five day trip to the Poconos and the Poconos was not the place for us. We decided to leave and find a place to stay near the ocean. When I called the Admiral Dewey Inn I spoke with the owner and he reassured me that he would turn our vacation around. We had no idea what to expect but when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by the owner who was so nice. The Inn was fantastic. The rooms were clean and decorated so nicely. There was plenty to do within walking distance. There were a couple of pubs with live music all weekend, a great little pizza place and an ice cream shop. The area was perfect. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic. All of the guests were very friendly and the owner knew each and every person and engaged in conversation with everyone around the table. The owner let us borrow a couple of bikes to cruise around the area for the day. We ended up staying at the Inn for two nights. We will definitely be returning soon. The hospitality was above and beyond all expectations!!!

I stayed here with a friend this Sunday to Monday. Levon the owner was friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable. You get a wonderful homemade breakfast every day!! Great place

Our 3rd stay at this wonderful B & B. I cannot say enough about this gorgeous Victorian home.The rooms are immaculate and cozy. Its walking distance to the beach and several beach bars. Beautiful wrap around porch to watch sunset. The Innkeeper/owner Levon is a hoot. A very pleasant gentleman who always makes you feel at home, he also makes a wonderful breakfast we had Creme Brulee French toast one morning that was to die for. He's a lot of fun to talk to and such a great host. I would recommend this establishment to anyone staying in the Matunuck/ Wakefield/ So.Kingstown vicinity. You will not be disappointed, we will be back, in fact can't wait.

Stayed here for a long weekend to explore Matunuck. What a great place! Staff (Laura) was so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. Very easy close walk to the beach and the few bars/restaurants in Matunuck. The Inn is well cared for, clean, and quiet. I am looking forward to staying there next year.

Owner Levon is exceptional. Terrific guy, made us feel so comfortable and at home.

This place is great. Excellent location, very close to the beach. Levon is a gracious host and an excellent cook! The sun dried tomato and basil egg dish was amazing followed by French toast grand marnier brioche. The house is very New England and very quaint. Beach chairs and towels are available. Our room had an ocean view :). The front porch has small tables and chairs or rocking chairs. Parking is plentiful. Thank you for the hospitality Levon, we will be back! Danielle and Mark

This is truly a great find! Breakfast was amazing every morning:) the owner is so friendly and treated my husband and I like family. I was not expecting to enjoy my stay this much! We cannot wait to go back next summer:)

I stayed here for a wedding that was held at Theatre by the Sea. When I initially booked, I was underwhelmed with the hostile reservation process. At this point I was merely booking for the sake of proximity to the wedding venue. When I arrived, however, I was pleasantly surprised to meet the new owner: a gracious, friendly and hospitable innkeeper- Levon. Although I am not one for the old Victorian decor of many a B&B, Levon's energy and intention for renovation made this an insignificant point ...and his breakfasts are phenomenal! The location of this inn is perfect for proximity to Theatre by the Sea or even just a weekend at the beach. With it's picturesque white wash wrap-around porch with rocking chairs and welcoming staff, I give the Admiral Dewey Inn two thumbs up.

Love this place! My husband and I stayed here a few years ago when Levon had just started running the Inn and coming back was definitely a great idea! The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the staff makes you feel welcome. Breakfast every morning was absolutely delicious. So close to the beach and the town bars and restaurants. We used the bikes and the beach chairs and towels that were available for guest use so we did not need to pack any of that! On a rainy day, we hung out in the living room, watched a movie and played a few games of "Battleship!" so there's even stuff to do on a lazy rainy day! The next time we need a quick getaway from the city, this place will be on the top of our list!
