The grounds alone at First Colony are worth a visit. And we were fortunate to visit with Cary who has created and maintains the grounds. I hope you can visit his gallery. This was absolutely my favorite part about the Inn. His creations are imaginative and fun! The room was clean and comfortable. And the breakfast was a full breakfast.

Check in at 4. Front desk closes at 5. We arrived at 5:30. No keys left for us. Tried to call on phone by front door at hotel but it did not work. Walked back to my car to call on my cell phone. Nice people came back when we called to give us keys. No remote for TV. Texted managers and they returned with a remote.

Tons of character
We enjoyed our stay and the staff was wonderful as well as the daily breakfast. The location is perfect to get to the beach as well as other attractions nearby. The rooms are older and if you like sleek new hotels this isn't it. But, it has tons of character

Wonderful historic inn. Clean, spacious room. Innkeeper left keys for us since we arrived after 5 pm. Only negative is that we wished coffee and tea were available downstairs for earlier risers before 8:30 breakfast. Keurig in room wasn’t supplied.

Alma the lady at the lobby is awesome very attentive, pleasant and amazing hard worker. Breakfast was delicious. The room was good just a suggestion they need to add blackout curtains for more privacy, and the streaming on the tv is very slow to other than that the place is in a very good location.

Wonderful historic hotel between sound & ocean
Beautiful historic hotel. Did not expect hot cooked breakfast each morning & social hour every afternoon. Delicious! Comfortable accommodations & for being so old, very quiet. Did not hear the people above us. Short walk to the beach. Beautiful grounds & nice pool. Bikes, beach chairs & towels provided.
