Room 111

This large ground floor room (15' by 20'), with a creamy strawberry pink decor, is straight ahead as you step into the foyer of the Carriage House. It has a gorgeous four poster king sized bed that looks to be hand carved, two inviting easy chairs and a handsome writing desk under windows. The single French door opens out to your private deck looking at trees and plantings. The private bath with bamboo floors has a necessaire, vanity sink area, 2-person whirlpool tub and a marble tile lined shower with multiple shower heads - rainfall, massage and hand held - to indulge yourself after a day out on the island!

The Carriage House rooms are all on the first floor of the original carriage house which was built at the same time as the "summer cottage," circa 1903. It housed Mr. Maitland's horses, carriages, and some of his servants. In fact, there was a double tree-lined path leading down to the Mansion that allowed the house servants to enter and exit by the back staircase, so as not to be in view. Nowadays, the Carriage House features four guest rooms with the utmost privacy, keeping the same elegant decor as the Main Mansion. The Carriage House is about 50 yards up the drive and does not afford any views of the ocean, but has the ultimate feeling of privacy. Rooms 110, 111, and 114 share a large enclosed yard leading to a common foyer on the right, while room 112 offers the ultimate privacy set off by itself on the left of the carriage house.

Balance Rock's rooms and suites are tastefully outfitted in harmonious colors, handsome wall coverings, handcrafted furnishings, and all the creature comforts.
