Island Manor House

Virginia


There's lots to love about this bright and cheerful B&B in a manor house dating from 1848. One of our favorite qualities is the diversity – where many B&Bs only offer two or three rooms, there are nine to pick from here, and none of them are overwhelmingly lacy. Also provides bikes and beach equipment.
