A LITTLE HISTORY

Part turn-of-the-century home

Part of the inn is a turn-of-the-century home reimagined as lodging, with open beam ceilings, rustic paneled walls and, in Room 117, a sunken "captain's lounge" with a fireplace. Cooled by the sea breeze, so our rooms don't need air conditioning.

ROOM 103
