Fodor's Expert Review Summer Cottage Inn

Painted sunflower gold and edged in red, the 1867 Italianate-style inn seems to smile as you enter the gate and approach its veranda ringed by floppy-headed hydrangeas. In every Victorian-dressed hallway, a bowl of candy sits on a table. The rooms are all plastered with designer floral wallpaper, but each has a different color scheme and theme. There's grand opulence in dark green and pink for the Renaissance Room and a sedate airiness of lace and turquoise for the Turn of the Century Room. It's an upbeat place, and close to town and beach.
