ACCOMMODATIONS
Accommodations in both the Oceanic Hotel, built in the 1870’s, and its neighboring cottages are charming and simple. Every room offers a beautiful view of the island. Families are grouped according to the ages of their children. Singles and older couples tend to stay in buildings without children. Some rooms have private bathrooms, but most have shared bathrooms.
A deposit fee is required at the time you register for the conference. Your final bill, less the room and board portion of the deposit, will be due at the end of the week when you check out. Incidental expenses may include snacks, massage, contributions to the cocktail hour, special lobster dinner, boat excursions, or your purchases at the gift shop and bookstore.
