Personality and comfort collide with fabulous results at the Captain David Kelley House. Owners Rick and Tom are famous for their breakfast Scone Wars drag performances (guests decide whose pasty is best). They also pay special attention to detail when it comes to guest satisfaction – the linens are luxurious, the furniture is warm and there's lots of outdoor space.
