Wonderful historic hotel between sound & ocean
Beautiful historic hotel. Did not expect hot cooked breakfast each morning & social hour every afternoon. Delicious! Comfortable accommodations & for being so old, very quiet. Did not hear the people above us. Short walk to the beach. Beautiful grounds & nice pool. Bikes, beach chairs & towels provided.

I had an exceptionally positive experience at this establishment. It is a historical site situated in close proximity to the beach. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find a wine social in progress, and a delicious breakfast was also provided for us. I highly recommend this location.

Weird when staff can’t find beach towels for a “supposed” beach front property. Room was filthy, shower barely big enough to turn around in. Best to tear it all down and start over as The Second Colony Inn.
