This is our second Bed & Breakfast in beautiful Westbrook CT. We both enjoy welcoming guests to the area, and sharing all of the wonderful activities there are to do. We pride ourselves on great staff, impeccably clean and comfortable accommodations, and lovely rooms to relax in.

Just one block from the beach, Captain Stannard is more than an inn—it’s an experience. Built in 1872 as a residence, its storied past welcomed its first guests in 1902 as an Inn. It has operated as a dance hall, antique store, and restaurant, and now returns its origins as a home of a seafaring captain. Welcome aboard to our family-owned inn where you are invited to indulge in the perfect blend of coastal charm, farmhouse elegance, and the breezy sophistication of yacht rock vibes. Whether you’re lounging on the Portside deck, strolling to the beach, getting cozy by the fireplace, or relaxing in the comfort of your uniquely designed room, life at Capt Stannard feels like a timeless getaway.
