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!

I went during the off-season on purpose seeking relaxation and rest and spiritual refurbishment. Was the only person in the B&B and Daryll went out of his way to feed me and leave me alone! Great getaway thanks to him.

We absolutely loved it, the Southern Comfort Breakfast, the beautiful Gulf view, the great hospitality, by the way thank you for the chocolates and roses for Valentine's Day. My husband and I enjoyed it and we would absolutely love to stay there again. Also if you get up early enough and walk the beach you will be so surprised to see dolphins playing and swimming off the coast, though pretty close to shore, I thought it a gift to see it. A mother dolphin was pushing her baby up out of the water for air. It was amazing.
The atmosphere, the rooms, the hospitality, and the breakfast all wonderful. Thank you Darryll for everything. We will come back.
