Darrell innkeeper wonderful/great place going back after labor day/wonderful breakfast and wine hour!!!!....... cottage great for weekend get away trying out suite next... but all rooms great!......... pool just right size ....... avoid the franchise boys deal with the real people!!!

The Original Romar House was tucked away along Romar Beach (the beach gets the name from the house). Darrell was fabulous and could not have done more to accommodate us! Everything from making sure that we had everything we needed to just good conversation. It is unfortunate that Brett & Robinson are putting the eyesore up next door. I know that it upsets the community terribly and it ruins the view. However, Darrell and his hospitality were wonderful and it could have not been better! Even with all the tension from the oil spill everything was perfect. The pool was clean, the rooms were perfect and our family was able to relax! Our day fell into place and we were able to cherish every moment. We will be back in the next few months.

After seeing a review for this property titled "Creepy", I had to submit my own review. My husband and I have visited the Original Romar House for the first time in 2003. We patiently waited for the re-opening after Ivan, and were thrilled when we found out the property was "open for business". Our last trip was in January of this year and we are planning another visit in the fall. Darryl is one of the most gracious hosts I've ever met. He makes sure our needs are met and completely RESPECTS the fact that couples staying at the house are there typically there for "couple time". You will find him each day completing his daily "chores" around the property but he will take the time to chat, if YOU want to strike up a conversation, never imposing. His breakfasts are wonderful and the "wine & cheese" parties are a great part of each evening. This is a great couples retreat, do not miss out on the atmosphere and hospitality of this wonderful beach gem. We will continue to plan our "get-aways" to the Romar House and highly recommend others to do the same.

The Original Romar House was exactly what we were looking for - a quiet, romantic getaway with the charm of a historical B&B right on the beach. It was cold and rainy outside, but warm and cozy inside. Darrell's breakfasts are "to die for"! (I'm actually jealous because I consider myself a breakfast wizard. Mine pale in comparison.)

Above all, we found a new friend in Darrell. He made us feel welcomed and at home. He makes this place special. What a kind, knowledgeable and respectable gentleman. It was easy to tell this place is a part of his soul. We asked for a recommendation to eat seafood the first night we got there and he suggested Cobalt, another great find!

We stayed in the Songwriter's room but we looked at the other rooms too. It doesn't matter which room you stay in because they're all very well decorated and immaculate. Incredible stain glass throughout which was the inspiration for stained glass in my house. Unless the Romar House is completely booked, you have to stay here. It is the BEST - Hands Down! Don't miss it! Many thanks to Darrell for making our stay a dream!
