Established 1894 Our Story
In the fall of 1894, William H. and C.S. Church began construction on a 60-room boarding house at the foot of Ocean Street — featuring a French roof, gas lights, and steam heat for year-round operation.
A century later, a meticulous restoration brought modern comfort to every room while honoring the original Victorian character. History and thoughtful hospitality, sharing one address.
