Sure, go grab a tomato or two, but don’t go whipping up a chef’s salad sourced primarily from our garden. We are located on a sandbar, facing the bay. Bedrooms are air conditioned, however common spaces are not. Doors are often left open to take advantage of the fabulous breeze off the bay. Those with sensitivity to humidity, allergies, sunlight, insects, and other native critters should consider booking elsewhere. We live on a sandbar after all, not a hermetically sealed laboratory. Expect to experience nature.
