Fodor's Review:

Stand on the verandas that encircle this old, three-story, cedar-shingle inn and admire the ocean views. Two rooms have wet bars and kitchenettes; others have four-poster or canopy beds, handcrafted armoires, and English antiques. All rooms contain extras, such as heated towel bars. The story of this landmark's near demolition, its rescue, and the move to the present site is told in framed photographs, letters, and news accounts lining the sunny dining room. In fall and winter, Nature Conservancy birding weekends include excursions to the Pea Island Wildlife Refuge. Pros: homey accommodations feel like grandma's house; some in-room hot tubs. Cons: you'll have to cross a road to get to the beach; no elevator.
