Perfect B&B

We had a wonderful stay! The house is lovely and you can clearly tell that every detail has been carefully thought out. We loved the breakfast every morning, the delicious baked goods in the evening and the beautiful decorations throughout the house. Carol is an amazing host and she will make sure you have everything you need to have the best time - book this place - you won’t regret it!

The Captain Farris House was awesome. They genuinely care for their guests. They made sure we had everything we needed. Out of our 3 nights we stayed we only got to enjoy 1 breakfast. That breakfast was very good. The 2nd day we had to leave early and weren’t able to be there for the breakfast. On our last day we had to leave early and they made us a breakfast to go. I would definitely stay here again.

My friend and I stayed here for 5 days a couple weeks ago to celebrate my birthday. It was such a cute and quaint place. The owners and staff were so sweet. We had to check in quite late due to travel accommodations and the owner sent detailed texts/videos on how to check in and access our room. The breakfast everyday was lovely and really made our stay even more enjoyable. Loved everything about it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place that is homier than just a regular hotel.

Carol was wonderful. She asked about dietary restrictions and went out of her way to make sure that we could enjoy the breakfast and snacks even though we’re gluten free. She was extremely nice and helpful. The room itself was lovely- clean, quiet, had plenty of places to sit and relax and a small balcony with a table and chairs. The bed was comfortable. We would stay here again.

The Captain Farris House was an amazing getaway location! My husband and I went away for 2 nights and loved everything about the Captain Farris House. Carol and Jeff were exceptional hosts who made sure our stay was pleasurable. The breakfasts were delicious and Carol did a fantastic job at making sure my gluten free options were to my liking, which they were. It was a first time stay at a bed and breakfast and we’re not sure we’d go anywhere else as this one was fantastic! We will be back for sure!

When my husband and I arrived at the property it was straight out of the movies. A beautiful cottage surrounded by the greenest trees with plenty of outdoor seating space to enjoy coffee, wine and the view. The included breakfast was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Karole went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. She offered beach towels and chairs, snacks and refreshments. The Captain Farris House exceeded our expectations!
