Changed our reservation to the upstairs @ the last minute. Glad we did, the museum is a little rustic for my liking. Wish we had stayed long then one night.

What a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the ocean views. Touring the lighthouse was really interesting. Took my grandchildren who enjoyed the ferry ride there and had a great time at the lighthouse and the rest of the island. We brought a lunch with us and stayed most of the day.
