Sea Crest by the Sea

ecause the Sea Crest is our home, the atmosphere is easy and inviting. The extensive collection of French and English antiques and family heirlooms was assembled as a labor of love. In the library books and games stand ready to provide a stimulating environment. Also, you'll find there our favorite menus from the best local restaurants where we will be happy to make reservations for you.

The murmur of the surf lulls you to sleep in your bed dressed in billowy starched linens of fine Egyptian cotton, French Damask and Belgian lace. Exquisitely comfortable beds and deluxe bath amenities marry today's comfort with yesterday's elegance. A stay at Sea Crest by the Sea is like visiting the elegant home of a favorite relative. But, at heart, we are a fantasy for grown-ups. So leave the children at home, and treat yourself. You deserve it!

On arrival you hear soft classical music. Fresh flowers await you in your room. The merriment begins with a few tunes on the player piano at afternoon tea. Your bountiful gourmet breakfast begins at the civilized hour of nine a.m. Candlelit in winter, the antique French sideboard is laden with a sumptuous offering that is both healthy and delicious, including a selection of fresh-from-the-oven buttermilk scones and muffins, fresh fruit, Sea Crest granola, our own special blend of fullbodied, caffeine-reduced coffee, and a wide array of teas. A variety of settings from the family collection of china, crystal and silver compliment the table and provide a delightful backdrop for a convivial start to the day.
