The property houses only six guest rooms, creating a private and quiet environment with limited interaction among visitors. Wraparound porches with rocking chairs and a porch swing provide outdoor seating, while a library and sunroom offer indoor relaxation spaces.
Accommodations with Period Furnishings
Each room includes a private bathroom with either a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, or jacuzzi, and all have air conditioning and fireplaces. Rooms are furnished with antique pieces, high ceilings, and parquet floors, with some offering ocean views from the third floor. The inn provides key access, smoke alarms, and 24-hour front desk service for security.
Gourmet Family-Style Breakfast

Special diet menus are available upon request, and breakfast can be taken in-room. Afternoon tea service includes refreshments and snacks, with wine and champagne available for guests.
Inclusive Amenities & Activities
