| About the Bed and Breakfast... |

|
| Accommodations |
| The accommodations tend toward light and airy, rather than old, heavy Victorian. The rooms are all decorated with furniture that has been in the innkeepers' families. The hardwood floors are covered with beautiful Oriental carpets. While antiques abound, "comfort" is the feeling that one experiences during a visit to The Sealark. |
|
| There is a "common" living room shared by our guests in addition to a wrap-around porch furnished with rockers. Guests can read, watch TV or a movie from our video collection, visit with friends and other guests, or just relax and let the ocean air take them over! |

| Breakfast |
|
| Breakfast is a special treat in the morning. Weather permitting, the setting is the roomy wrap-around porch on the northeast side of the house, which has been completely screened in for everyone's comfort. As autumn brings in the cooler temperatures, our guests breakfast in the parlor by the fireplace. |
|
| A buffet is served from 9 to 10 a.m. every morning. It begins with juice, coffee/tea, fruit and cereals. Homemade cakes compliment the main entrees such as Eggs Florentine, Crab Meat Custard with Tomato Coulis, Shrimp and Cheese Souffle or Stuffed Baked French Toast. Some of The Sealark's meat dishes include a tasty Apple Sausage Ring. Corned Beef Hash or perhaps some wonderful Bacon Scrapple. All dishes are homemade. Our guests always seem to linger over coffee, before heading off for the day' s activities. |
