Frommer's Review

The accommodations you'll rent here are larger, plusher, more historic, and more charming than what you'd expect in a conventional hotel. All come with kitchenettes. The complex consists of three clapboard-sided houses, each built between 80 and 175 years ago, and each almost adjacent to another, midway up a hillside overlooking the sea. The finest of these is Floris Cottage, with four bedrooms which can sleep eight comfortably. Nassau-born John (J. J.) Duckworth and his Michigan-born wife, Katie, along with their son John Lucas, are your hosts. Much of their time is spent nurturing a sprawling collection of beautiful orchids being cultivated for export to Europe and the U.S. Their collection of orchids, some 4,000 strong, is one of the largest in North America.

Facilities:
Babysitting; nonsmoking rooms
