Just one block from the beach, Captain Stannard is more than an inn—it’s an experience. Built in 1872 as a residence, its storied past welcomed its first guests in 1902 as an Inn. It has operated as a dance hall, antique store, and restaurant, and now returns its origins as a home of a seafaring captain. Welcome aboard to our family-owned inn where you are invited to indulge in the perfect blend of coastal charm, farmhouse elegance, and the breezy sophistication of yacht rock vibes.
