From the reviews
Just wanted to send a big thank you for hosting my daughter and me! We had such a great time and truly appreciated everything. Your staff was incredibly welcoming, and the space was spotless.
Spent a tremendous 3 nights here. The hosts are the most accommodating, helpful and nicest people you would ever want to meet. Just a block and a half to the beach and an easy walk. The location and proximity to everything you need is great. The house, the rooms, the food and the people you meet are all top shelf.
Getting married at The Island Guest House Historic Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
