morning routine starts with tea water and coffee in the dining room
at around 7 am. This is self service. Some regional newspapers usually
arrive at about 8 and we typically get four or six delivered for
sharing around the morning rooms. We serve a full breakfast, or
any part there of, to our inn guests (included in the room rate)
which is available between 8:30 and 10:30. Guests take a place in
the dining room and one of the crew will tell them about that morning’s
breakfast which might one day be waffles, French toast, omelets
or other goodies made from scratch each day as well as fresh fruit
and juice. Jeanne usually knows a couple of days ahead what might
be offered in the coming days, so if guests are curious or have
special dietary concerns, they’re advised to ask what’s up!
have a large bar on the porch
that has all manner of mixers and ice available to inn guests throughout
the day and evening. The ice machine has ample ice to stock coolers
for any daily outings. These services and items are also included
in the room rate. On the nights that we serve dinners, we may have
a bartender to take care of any beverage and mixing needs. We can
refrigerate wine and beer in the kitchen or, for more immediate
use, guests might put things on ice behind the bar themselves. We
have beer and wine for sale on the property and keep a diverse,
quality inventory of each.
are many services offered on
the island from massages to deep sea fishing. Renting bikes or kayaks
is a nice pastime and there's great horseback riding, tennis and
golf here. We can't even begin to describe the local beaches, Philbin,
Moshup Beach (we call it Zack's Cliffs), Menemsha, Lobsterville,
Squibnocket, Lucy Vincent (and those are just the beaches in our
town!) - all with unique features, some clothing optional. Moshup
Beach, in fact, is just below the Outermost Inn, and is listed by
The Travel Channel as one of its "Top Ten
Beaches". Visitors have only to ask about any of these
or other activities.
serve dinner to our guests
and a number of people from outside the inn most every night of
the week. Because seating is limited and we are in such great demand,
it is important that if an inn guest wants to eat with us on any
given evening, they should let us know as soon as possible.
not big on rules,
but the 11:00 a.m. check out is pretty important as we schedule
the cleaning crew around this time to prepare for incoming guests.
Often travel plans mean a guest leaves the island later in the day,
so, if their room is vacated, they are welcome to spend the day
around the inn or at the beach before bidding farewell and traveling
on! |
