During the rebuilding of the house, Coffin added an indoor pool, a baseman grill room and lounge and a second floor reception room. The interior of the house was modeled on the Spanish-Mediterranean motif popular in the 1920s and similar to that of the famous Cloister resort on Sea Island, which was founded by Coffin in 1928. In 1934, Coffin sold Sapelo to tobacco heir Richard J. Reynolds of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Reynolds, during his ownership of the island until his death in 1964, modernized the house as time went along. The lively tropical murals by Atlanta artist Athos Menaboni were painted in the house during the Reynolds period, and the Circus Room motif was added in the upstairs reception room.
