Henderson Park Inn

If Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard took a vacation to Florida, they'd stay here because it looks just like home, indoors and out, in all its romantic, Victorian-inspired glory. This is a welcoming, romantic, adults-only B&B that overlooks more than 6,000 ft. of coastline with a front porch you may never want to leave. Guests are well taken care of, with wine and grapes provided in your room upon arrival, a nightly happy hour at sunset, rooms with whirlpool baths, and even some with fireplaces. Best of all, it’s an adults-only inn for adults ages 25 and up.


Rates include use of cruiser bikes, and beach chairs and umbrellas. While there’s no pool on these premises, guests have full use of the ones (and amenities) at sister property, Henderson Beach Resort, 200 Henderson Resort Way, (tel. 855/741-2777), a family friendly stay right next to the 200-acre Henderson Beach State Park, featuring 170 rooms, restaurants, bars (including a great rooftop bar), two pools, including adults only and family friendly with lazy river, beach activities, and more. Rates there range from $210 to $560.
