This intimate inn is both a stately house and an upscale motel. While you may drive up to your door on the lower level, and may have to grab the stairs for a second-story room, the rooms are decidedly both attractive and comfortable. All rooms feature sliding glass doors that open to large patios or balconies with whicker loveseats and oversized chairs.
Each of the 51 rooms is accommodating to families with children of all ages. The north wing overlooks the pool, making it easy for families on the ground floor to run right out and jump in. Each room provides either one king or two queen beds with larger rooms in the center portion of the building offering a pullout sofa. We enjoyed a room with the sofa bed, but in order to open it we had to stand the coffee table up on its end and push it against the wall to be able to get outside to the balcony. The room was spacious enough when the couch was in place, but the bathroom had a small pedestal sink and no counter space. (For space, we used the ledge by the window, but it is a small, high window, so the kids couldn't reach anything we put on the ledge.) It was our only complaint.
The Seaside House is a smaller "motel" connection with rooms outfitted with king beds. Two connecting rooms are available on each floor, making it a great choice for larger families. Elect to stay in the Stacy House if traveling with just one small child for a more historic stay, as the three-story house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once a private mansion, it has been restored and offers three guest suites on the second floor. The suites feature a bedroom with a king bed, separate sitting area, Jacuzzi tubs and a gas fireplace.
All rooms feature DVD players, refrigerators, coffee makers, and HD TVs.
