This place was in such a nice location. We were a 5-10 minute walk to woods hole little downtown area and the beach. The owners were lovely and our experience was very pleasant. Not a luxurious place if that’s what you’re looking for, but very comfortable and clean.

Had a wonderful 2 night stay. Comfortable beds and pillows. Room was clean. Only problem were the ants...some traps or peppermint oil could help with that problem. Would stay again.

Sands of Time is a charming spot for a stay in Wood’s Hole. We had a view of the harbor and could walk into town and to the ferry. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the tea and coffee that was available all day in the lobby. We wish we had our swimsuits for the heated pool. We hope to return often!

The Manager and her co-worker were extremely friendly and accommodating. They invited us to sit in the lobby, played music and provided refreshments! I absolutely recommend this place. We were stranded as the last ferry out was canceled and they made our night fun and memorable. Room was clean and comfortable.
