The space
This is a ground floor unit with a private entrance. It has been beautifully renovated with new windows, wood paneled walls and ceilings, tile floors, custom tile in the kitchen and bath, with a soothing ocean color theme. Features wifi, AC, queen bed, fine linens and towels. There is a dining table and 2 chairs.
The kitchen has all equipment and utensils needed to prepare meals.
The room catches the fresh ocean breezes that wash across the island. The windows provide a direct view into the garden and the many species of birds that visit daily.

Guest access
Guests are welcome to use a large deck with comfortable chairs for reading, sunbathing, relaxing and socializing with a Kalik (the local brew). It overlooks the gardens and catches the island breeze. The deck is also great for stargazing. The night sky is incredibly clear here on the island and the stars seem close enough to touch!

Don't want to cook? Meals can be deliciously and freshly prepared for you on site, with advance notice. Meals are additional with basic rental, but can be part of an all inclusive package.

The Inn has water frontage on a beautiful mangrove creek with a floating dock to launch kayaks and paddleboards. We offer guided tours to spectacular island beaches in a national park that have no road access.
Photographers and nature lovers will thrill to the lush gardens of native plants, flowers and fruits and the many species of birds and butterflies. There are walking paths that meander the two acre estate.

Other things to note

We have been exploring the waters around our inn for twenty years and can show you the beaches, trails, and unique spots you may not find or notice on your own.
