The "old Southern home" on a barrier island is a four-story frame structure decorated with antiques, Asian rugs, and Tiffany lamps. All-inclusive meals made with organic produce grown in the garden are "quite outstanding." Activities include kayaking, biking, and jaunts with the "fantastic resident naturalist." Cabins away from the main house are "rustic but comfortable," with Audubon prints, Native American artifacts, and William Morris wallpaper. (16 rooms)
