After sailing the seven seas in the trans-Pacific trade, Captain Elbert Stannard built this grand home c. 1872 just one block from the beach.

The Inn is notable both for its extensive history as well as the friendly spirits that are frequently heard by guests. During the recent renovations, workmen claim to have seen an unknown woman cleaning the windows.

The Dining Room is warm and inviting with individual tables that seat 34 guests comfortably, making the Inn ideal for hosting business meetings as well as weddings and receptions.

Stroll down to the beach one block away. Take a chance at the casinos. Visit the wineries. Shop for hours. Relax.

Innkeepers Jim and Mary Brewster have fully renovated the Inn, restoring its original grace. The gathering rooms, nine guest rooms, and gardens radiate New England coastal charm, making this the perfect home base for exploring all that the southeastern Connecticut shoreline has to offer.
