Stephanie Inn - evening by the beach

Wednesday July 14, 2010

We spotted this rabbit outside the inn. One of the hotel workers said it was named Kevin (or something similar) before they found out it was a female. It was very tame. Apparently one time people in a suite on the ground floor were watching tv and looked over to find the rabbit sitting beside them.

We were too tired to have a fire on the beach but we sure enjoyed the view from our balcony. The surf muffles other sounds making them sound distant and pleasant.

We ordered in soup, cheese and crackers and listened to that wonderful surf all night.

Then there was the balcony off our room.

You can see how it juts out from the rest of the building.

There's Haystack Rock again.

The bellman took us up to the room and explained the amenities. But I didn't really care at that moment - when I saw the golden, sun-filled room and the view of the beach, that was all that mattered.

There was a sink, microwave, safe, ironing board, coffee maker with organic coffee, DVD player, Bose CD radio and all. Also a small fridge with FREE (very unusual) bottled water and pop.

A couple of nice seating areas.

Get out! Haystack Rock is right out the window.

A fireplace (love those electrics) and a step stool for the rather high 'Dreamspa' bed.

I like a place that has robes. Not that it is very unusual. What was unusual was the card that you left on the bed for the turn-down service where you could order this or that. Wish I'd taken a close up picture.

A 'Jacuzzi Pure Air' bath with Aveda products.

Also, a shower and a handy make-up table that was separate from the sink counter.

A lot of thought has gone into this inn. Want your car washed? They will do that for you - free. Need a ride into town? They'll take you for free. Want a fire on the beach? Pick a spot on the beach and they will set it up for $10. Want a picnic? They'll do that too. There are afternoon and evening gatherings with cheese, crackers, cold meats and wine, and breakfasts are included.
