Owner Marta White spent her life in the theater, and she revels in setting a stage. Her husband, Martin, used to work in commercial films. The circa 1900 building, once the annex to Southampton's most opulent hotel, may have been of Sanford White design. One of these houses has a distinguished collection of Mexican folk art. The living room in the main house could be the set of a movie perhaps Around the World in 80 Days with Auntie Maine.
Balinese marionettes hang from the walls.
It's all eccentric, eclectic, and artsy and it all works. No guest room resembles another. The rooms are decorated with a collection of antiques from different periods. A number of the buildings can be rented to groups, and the facilities have been used for everything from fashion shoots to family reunions. The greenhouse is the perfect setting for an intimate wedding.
