Circa 1869. Just one-half block from the beach, this American classic features Carpenter Gothic architecture and adorns the serene primary Historic District. The inn has undergone meticulous Victorian restorations with extensive attention paid to details. Sip afternoon tea on a veranda rocker while watching a horse and carriage go by. Gather by the fire in the family parlor or in the spacious third-floor sun parlor. Delightful guest bedrooms offer a variety of choices. The Stockton room features a private front porch. Share lively conversation over a bountiful homemade breakfast in the dining room.

Staying at the John Wesley is literally stepping back in history. It is furnished with beautiful antiques throughout yet also has modern amenities. The entire Inn is spotless and the off-street parking is a big bonus. We enjoyed excellent gourmet breakfasts every day...all home made! Bonnie & Lance make you feel like family. They take care of your every need. My only regret is that we had to leave. What a marvelous and relaxing weekend. Can't wait to come back.
