Sea light, long breakfasts, and a porch that has never once asked anyone to check their email.
The Driftwood sits at the very end of the point, past where the road gives up and the oyster shells take over. People come for a night and start asking about September before they've finished checking in.
Each one different, none of them with a television. Rates include breakfast — the real kind.
The corner room the whole inn is arranged around: water on two sides, a writing desk that has outlived four owners, and the sunrise arriving before the coffee does.
From $240 a night, breakfast included
Opens straight onto the kitchen garden — tomatoes in August, dahlias in October. The room people book when they're bringing the dog and a stack of paperbacks.
From $185 a night, breakfast included
Fifty steps from the inn, directly over the water. Whitewashed beams, a small kitchen, and the tide as a white-noise machine. Honeymooners and novelists fight over it.
From $320 a night, breakfast basket delivered
Breakfast runs long: eggs from up the road, bread from the kiln in town, and whatever the boats brought in. After that — the path to the lighthouse, the rowboat, the porch. That's the list.
The sandbar colony returned this week, loud as ever. Bring binoculars; borrow ours if you forget.
From now through September: oysters on the porch, five to six, shucked by whoever lost the coin toss.
We close after New Year's and reopen in March, when the kitchen and the innkeepers have thawed.
