The house has the depth of history, a history of human spirit, the spirit of honor, service, kindness, and human heart to heart connection. My wife and I stayed for three days. We not only enjoyed physical comfort and relaxation, but also felt spiritually enriched as we saw the richly decorated house, heard many inspiring stories about the history of the people lived in the house and experienced the genuine care of the hostess. It’s a soul-touching experience indeed!

The room was spacious, well lit and cozy. The morning breakfast was outstanding! It was so complete I didn't have lunch the entire week I stayed at the Inn. The bathroom was also very clean, well decorated, and conveniently located next to the bedroom. The mini-fridge had chocolates, water, soda and seltzer at no extra charge. Joannie, the owner, is a fantastic host. She has lived all over the world (Greece, Turkey, Argentina, Uruguay, LA, Boston, to name a few) In her fundraising work at Harvard and USC, she met many, many interesting people and has great stories to tell. The breakfast conversations we had were so interesting I had remind myself to visit the relatives I flew 3000 miles to see. I unconditionally recommend the Hydrangea Inn!

Absolutely charming!

What a treat it was to stay at the Hydrangea Inn. Joan was a gracious hostess who made us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious and a great time to ask Joan questions about the area. She was a wealth of knowledge and an interesting lady? Oh, and the view of the bay was a bonus we didnt expect! We would certainly stay here again.
