Fodor's Expert Review Old Sea Pines Inn

With its white-column portico and wraparound veranda overlooking a broad lawn, Old Sea Pines, which housed a women's "charm and personality" school in the early 1900s, resembles a vintage summer estate. Ascend a sweeping staircase to guest rooms decorated with reproduction wallpaper, antiques, and framed old photographs: some are quite large, others have fireplaces, and one of the more popular rooms has a sitting area in an enclosed sunporch; rooms in a newer building are simple, with bright, white modern baths and queen-size beds with cast-iron frames.
