"If canopy beds, hardwood floors, turn-of-the-twentieth-century architecture and elegant French dining are right up your alley, then we highly recommend the eighteen-room Plantation Inn."
DK Eyewitness
"Steps from the waterfront, this charming inn combines plantation style with modern convenience. Romantic island- style guest rooms have lānai (verandas); suites have kitchenettes."
