Fodor's Review:

A large anchor on the sun-dappled pathway marks the entrance to this 19th-century house, which is now an unpretentious inn. The building was built by a shipwright and has a large, breezy balcony with commanding views over the sea, but its best feature is hidden behind the facade: a secret garden of tall tamarind and neme trees, climbing vines, hanging plants, potted hibiscus, climbing bougainvillea, and even a pond. The greenery, as well as providing a quiet spot for natural shade, is home to the inn's Secret Garden Restaurant. Rooms A2, B2, and C2 are nicely shaded havens but have no sea views. Upstairs, rooms G and H share a balcony with unobstructed views of the ocean and Duke Street. At this writing, damage from Hurricane Ike in 2008 are still being repaired, but the inn is still open during construction. The inn and restaurant are expected to open fully by late summer 2009. Pros: excellent location that is an easy walk to Front Street, restaurants, and excursions. Cons: no no-smoking rooms.
