Circa 1885. Cradled between Chesapeake Bay and the beach, this Queen Anne Victorian graces the historic district with an inviting, wicker-furnished wraparound front porch and a veranda with a flower garden shaded by a large magnolia tree. The bed and breakfast is filled with literary memorabilia and portraits that honor writers and their books. Sit by the fire in the Mark Twain Reading Parlor. Each guest bedroom realistically reflects a famous author. Select the 1920s jazzy Harlem Renaissance of the Langston Hughes Room or the romantic Jane Austen Room with a clawfoot tub and ambiance of Regency England. The Robert Louis Stevenson Room offers 19th-century high-seas adventure. Linger over a gourmet breakfast in the French Café Colette where afternoon tea and evening liqueur are also served. A stocked refrigerator and microwave is available for guest use.

Innkeeper Note

The Alexander House Booklovers Bed and Breakfast announces a special 10% discounts for guests bringing bicycles to use around the area, or those arriving in a hybrid vehicle. "We wanted to reward those who are truly attempting to conserve gas, rather than giving an across-the-board gas discount to everyone, when we still see so many folks driving large SUV's at top speeds on their vacations." The discount runs through 2009. Last year, the inn became one of the maverick American inns to initiate a shoe-free policy, in line with the cultural mores of most of the world, and to keep their green and clean inn toxin/allergen free. The inn uses natural cleaning products and special uv lights to clean the air and mattresses. Innkeepers Elizabeth and Peter Alexander have created a whimsical, feel-good atmosphere, with bright colors, eclectic furnishings and an unpretentious look that allows visitors to feel at home and relax. This literary-themed inn opened in 2002, and has quickly gaining popularity with guests from every world continent, as well as guests from across the United States.
