The Pink Dolphin Bed & Breakfast Description:
The Pink Dolphin Bed & Breakfast is a beautiful historic home with exceptional lodging. The Inn was built in 1881 and originally called the Tyler-Rhames House. It hasn't always been pink, but this historic color of the deep South is the heart and warmth of its charm. We invite you to enjoy the cozy fireplaces, heart of pine floors, antique furnishings and double jacuzzis, infused with our personal passion for health, healing, marine wildlife and the sea. Dolphins are intuitive healers, with a joy for life that openly reaches out to others. Pink is the color of the Heart. And so, the Pink Dolphin brings this sense of love and joy to all who choose to enter. We were drawn to this beautiful historic home to open and heal our own hearts, and open its doors to others. From the full Southern Breakfast served each morning, to the Tiptoe Turndown Service in the evening, we strive to make you feel pampered and at home.
Your Hosts, Ken and Dianne Thomas
Just two blocks from Summerville's quaint Main Street, guests have an easy stroll to the Historic district, which is lined with specialty shops, antique stores and a variety of restaurants. Azalea Park, the home of the "Sculpture in the South" collection and the famous Flowertown Festival, is also only a short walk away. Summerville, and nearby Charleston, offer an exciting variety of activities including fabulous golf courses, beaches, plantations and gardens, historic tours, open market, antique shops and art galleries, as well as kayaking, horseback riding, scuba diving, bicycling, harbor tours, and dolphin watches.
The Pink Dolphin offers three guest rooms. The Captain's Quarters and the Blue Mini-Suite are on the main floor and the Pink Room is on the 2nd floor. The Pink Dolphin is also the home of our therapy center, The Dolphin Heart for private meditation, massages, special gatherings and a variety of healing therapies.Upon arrival you'll first be greeted by our loving blond Lab, Ella. In the morning, Muffin, our African Grey parrot, is likely to be offering one of her favorite phrases, "Do you want some coffee?" We welcome pet owners but reserve the right to evaluate each situation, as we have a breedable female dog and birds. Please email us if you are traveling with pets. Pets fees will be applicable.
Innkeepers, Ken and Dianne, invite you to share their interests in a variety of adventures. Watch for the upcoming packages including scuba diving, sailing and/or sailing instruction, and healing weekends, as well as a yearly trip to the Caribbean to swim with Humpback whales. In addition to the Bed & Breakfast, we offer the alternative healing therapy of Reiki. Reiki is an energy healing technique which balances a person's bio-energy field and strengthens the body's ability to heal itself.
