This is an outstanding historical property, gorgeous inside and out. Our hosts are friendly, accomodating, and highly talented in the kitchen. The room was spotless, private, and very comfortable. The yard was spectacular, with a fountain, sculptures, and large lawn even including a visiting young family of deer. Great view of the ocean from the front porch.

A great place to Stay

Lori& Ginny gave us a delightful visit 06/14/23. Beautiful grounds, nice porch views and a comfortable room. In addition, a good breakfast to get us forward on our trip. Fun folks to talk to as well! And excellent coffee and tea too. We plan on a return visit to stay when visiting the area sooner rather than later.

There were road repairs underway on US-1 right outside the front door, which makes for traffic inconvenience, noise, and an asphalt smell, but I'm not sure there's much you can do to mitigate that given the location. Staff were absolutely lovely, welcoming, accommodating for our being hideously behind schedule and late in our arrival. Electric car charger is a 120V plug, which gave us enough mileage on our car to have flexibility in planning the rest of our trip. Our daughters adore this house and want to come back!

We will be back!

Lori and Ginny are wonderful hosts! They serve you delicious breakfast every morning, the rooms are very clean and the decor is subdued and calm. They have games available for you to play and books with a maritime theme and local history. Lori gave great recommendations on restaurants and what to do and where to go as our schedule was unplanned and wide open. Have I mentioned the sunroom? GORGEOUS and COMFORTABLE! Leather couch and recliner and a fabric recliner as well. A table with I think it was chess set up at one end…. STAY HERE! You won’t regret it!
