Guest Reviews
We spent out anniversary weekend at Verandas, and we loved it. The house is beautiful and furnished so tastefully. Our room was so comfy. Alton was the perfect host and such a delight. Breakfasts were incredible. (We had a delicious blueberry compote both mornings.) We'll definitely visit again.

We had a very enjoyable stay. Great location - walking distance to the water and all of the great shopping and restaurants in the historic district. The interior appointments of this historic home turned Inn were beautiful. And Dale was a great host!
- Patti Cotter
Absolutely beautiful traditional bed and breakfast. Beautifully crafted and immaculate taste in decor. Beds were so comfortable I think I went into a coma. Wonderful and kind staff and lovely to talk to some of the other guests at breakfast. Very close to literally everything. Would stay again, would spend entire life here.
