FAQs

Our pier is 450 feet long.

Point of View. Because, well, that view!

Absolutely! You can find information on water depths along the pier here. If you’re coming by boat to stay at the motel, please let guest services know so we make sure not to turn the bird-deterring sprinklers on at night.

Guests of Pier450 may launch their own kayaks from our beach and tether them here during your stay. We also have several kayaks for guest use. The beach area north of our dock house is private property — not owned by Pier450. Please use only the Pier450 beach area.

Yes, we can accommodate events of up to 75 people in our outdoor event space at Pier450. Coming later in 2022, we’ll be able to accommodate larger events at a property just across the street. And we can host smaller events inside the restaurant during certain time periods. Fill out this quick form with a few details and our Events Manager will get in touch soon to chat about your event.

Guests of the motel ONLY may fish from the pier and only when the restaurant is closed. Please leave no trace so that other guests may enjoy the pier.

No. The pier is private property and for use by guests of Pier450 only.

Currently, we have gift cards for POV Restaurant and The Chandlery. You can purchase a physical card in the restaurant or online here.

There are a few answers to this question:

1. Like many restaurants, we aren’t typically able to answer the phone during restaurant hours because we are busy taking care of guests and because the volume in the restaurant frankly makes it very difficult to hear. And we certainly don’t want to appear rude if we can’t hear you!
2. Cell service down here can be spotty. It’s even worse inside the restaurant. So it’s often a challenge to keep calls connected.
3. We have a centralized phone number for Pier450, POV Restaurant, The Quarters Motel and our sister property, Scotland Yards. The volume of calls we receive keeps us on our toes — but also means you may not hear back from us for a day or so. We do our best to respond to everyone within 24 hours! If you do call, please leave us a message.

We will take carry out orders from the bar at POV. We don’t take phone orders simply because our kitchen isn’t big enough to accommodate the volume that would invite. (We are a renovated property and by regulation, aren’t able to expand the size of our kitchen.)

We don’t — and will do our best to accommodate all walk-ins. But we do highly recommend them on the weekend, especially. And we always appreciate reservations simply because it helps us determine staffing.

Yes, our chefs are always willing to create alternatives for guests with allergies. You can make note of your allergy when you make a reservation or let your server know upon your arrival.

To a certain size and at certain times, yes. You can book up to 12 people via our website. For parties larger than 12, fill out this quick form and our Events Manager will be in touch right away.

We can. Fill out this quick form and our Events Manager will be in touch right away.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your dog to sit with you on the beach. Dogs must be leashed at all times.

We offer a 10% discount to active duty military members. Simply show your military ID to your server.

You can reserve a room at The Quarters here.

If bookings and cleaning schedules align, the most we would be able to add on either side of your booking would be two hours. To make your request, you can note it when you make your reservation or contact us any time at [email protected]. Our Guest Services Manager will be in touch.

We do, with conditions:

1. When at all possible, please take them with you when you’re out and about so they don’t disturb other guests pining for your return.
2. We charge a $25 cleaning fee, payable when you make your reservation.
3. Dogs must be kept on a leash when outside on the property.
4. Please pick up after your pet.

We love parties! We’re happy to accommodate special requests and add features to make your group’s stay as comfortable and special as possible. Because we’re a (very) small motel, we aren’t able to offer room discounts for brief stays. Contact us here and our Guests Services Manager will get in touch to chat about ways to customize your stay.

You can read through our motel policies here.

Check-in is 3:00 pm and check-out is 11:00 am. We can sometimes accommodate early check-ins/late check-outs, depending on guests departing and arriving and the schedule of our cleaning crew. Ask our guest services manager prior to your arrival or departure (you’ll have a text and email option after you book your reservation) and she’ll do her best. The most flexibility we’ll likely have is an hour on either side of your booking.

Yes. Please get in touch to work out details for your stay.
