about

HISTORY Renovated from a boarding house used by the local fishing community, The Sea Breeze was built in the 1930s. The Sea Breeze Gallery was the first mixed-media gallery on the island and was established on the property in 1981 by Mary Newhouse, from New York City. The Sea Breeze Gallery featured local artists and was a fixture on the island for many years. The Sea Breeze Bed and Breakfast was established in 1983, starting with the renovation of five guestrooms in the Inlet Cottage. Mary and Robert Newhouse deeded land behind the property to the Land Trust and were founding members of several environmental grassroots organizations on the island.

YOUR STAY With spectacular views over the Atlantic coastline, the four cottages on the property are rustic in nature and evoke a real getaway island vacation. We hand select all of our linens and fabrics, handmade pottery and hand-blown glassware. Featuring newly tiled showers and aromatherapy bath amenities. With lush perennial gardens and rugged coastline views. We intentionally do not have TVs, radio, Wifi, or air-conditioning in our guestrooms. Turns out this is good for the body, soul, and planet. Mindful travel can take us down unforgettable paths. A place of tranquil relaxation, and in balance with the stunning nature outside your doorstep. Gorgeous views all around the property. Find the path to the hammock, take the time to listen to the birds and ocean waves. Get up early to watch the sunrise transform a panoramic view of our wildflower meadow overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. After a full day exploring the island, grab a book, a glass of wine, your mate, and get comfy in our outdoor lounge areas. Well-known for our excellence in hospitality, we provide attentive service.
