Inn at Tilton Place

Quaint and Well Appointed.
My wife and I wanted to get away for a little 3 day «us time «and we selected this B&B. The main reasons why we picked this spot was its only 1.5 hours away from Coral Springs, it’s within walking distance of Jensen Beach’ s small downtown and one of our favorite restaurants, Crawdaddys.
When we pulled up, my first impression was that it looked better online. It needs alittle touch up paint and work on the landscaping. I then noticed how awesome the location was. Crawdaddys, 11 Maple Street, Kona’s Beach Shack, and Mulligans was less than a block away. We walked inside and met the owner/​innkeeper Katie. She has this cool vibe about her which I image she gets from her father who she said is a diehard surfer. So we walk in and I think to myself, this what I’m talking about, nice down home feeling. The kind that just make you feel good inside. She showed us around and told us about the comp wine hour from 5 to 6 everyday and the 3 course breakfast she serves starting at 7a. Me being the pain in ass, I remind Katie that I don’t eat eggs. She was very polite and said that she had made a note of it.
We go up to the room and I just love it. It’s not fancy but its not dated either. The king size bed looked like the real deal in the comfort division. The view from the outside deck was ok, nothing out of this world. The bathroom was a decent size and we didn’t have to share it with anyone. On top of that, the rain shower head was amazing. Once we opened the east window the breeze off the St Lucie River was invigorating.
We unpacked our luggage and headed out for the evening, hitting Crawdaddys for dinner and 11 Maple Street for Dessert and then back to Crawdaddys to listen to some live music, just a great night.
We came back to the Inn, my wife and I sat on the couch in the main living room. We finish our drinks and chatted in front of the fireplace before hitting the rack. Nice and relaxing. Now for the BEST part., the bed and comforters are F’ing AWESOME. So soft and cozy, $hit I want to jump in it right now lol. After a little yoga:) we slept like babies.
In the morning, I get up and go downstairs and Katie already made coffee and I’m good to go. My wife had a really bad migraine and with Katie’s help she told me where to get her medicine. I asked her if she could just make some toast with peanut butter for my wife and she happily obliged. She made a little tray of food and I took it up to my sweetheart. As for me, I went down in main area and waited to be served breakfast. Some coffee, OJ, water, and a Bloody Mary I smuggled over from Mulligans starts my day off right. Katie brings out some blueberry scones with some butter. Now scones can be hit or miss for me. These were perfect. Very tasty, not to moist, not to dry, with flaky texture. A little butter and I was in heaven. Next up was an Apple Crisp Napoleon with whipped cream. Freaking outstanding! The Granny Smith apples were perfectly balanced with some cinnamon sugar which gave it just a hint of tartness. Just perfect with the waffle cone layers that were used to stack the apples on. The three course was a disappointment. It was toasted slice of French bread with butter and a large ramekin of a tomato mixture with some cheese. Katie said that the egg would have been baked on top. The second day of breakfast was pretty much the same way; a smuggled Bloody Mary from Mulligans, blueberry scones, fresh fruit with a little mascarpone cheese, and a pesto buttered French bread toast with some melted cheddar. There was supposed to be a poached egg on top which I didn’t want. Man, I know this isn’t a restaurant, but this young woman is a talented cook. I wish she would have experimented on me with a new recipe since I didn’t like eggs. Grits with that tomato mixture or maybe a chicken cheese pesto mixture burrito. I have confidence that she would have hit a home run if she tried. We skipped the third day of breakfast but as a whole, I was impressed with the her effort and the experience.
So you ask, why five stars when there are flaws. Easy answer, Katie is living the true American Dream and I envy her. She is busting her ass to achieve this dream/​goal by remodeling this home, cooking meals, and providing a professional down home vibe that is just wonderful. Her business is one of many that are the backbone of America and we need to support them. Also her folks own Kona Beach Shack which is a very short walk from the Inn and all guests get 15% off your bill. Just to show the coolness of Katie’s family, Her pop Frank, gave me a bucket full of ice to use back at the room. Just good $hit.
Before you reserve a room at Hampton Inn, Marriott, or any other corporate hotel, I implore you to give the Inn at Tilton Place a whirl and you won’t regret it. Remember to tell Katie that Dan sent you and Stay Cozy!

I think this is the only hotel/B&B I have ever stayed at twice. I’m writing this now from the second floor balcony which has a beautiful view of the water. I came to Jensen Beach specifically to stay at this hotel the first time (which I had heard about through Living Social). Now almost a year later, I’m back, and it’s this hotel that is bringing me back to Jensen Beach. It is a really cute hotel with an emphasis on «green» — recycling containers available, organic tea, etc. One of the standouts of the whole experience is the three-​course breakfasts every morning. The innkeeper makes them herself, using all fresh, organic, local ingredients. It starts out with very tasty scones, then there is usually a fruit plate (berries and cream, brown sugar peaches, melons and honey…), and then there is an egg dish. Every single thing she has prepared has been outstanding. Her customer service is excellent! She also hosts a wine reception from 5 – 6 every evening. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet getaway. Very relaxing and peaceful!!!

Stayed at the Inn for my wedding on 11−11−11. So happy I chose to stay here. Katie was awesome. The entire experience was perfect for our wedding weekend. My girls and I got ready here and the pictures the photographer took on the premises are some of my favorite pics from the day. The organic tea selection was great and so tasty (key lime was my fave) as was the breakfast.
Highly Highly recommend. Will be back for our anniversaries!

Charming and quiet.
The young lady who runs it is named Katie and apparently does everything herself.
Three course breakfast was lovely each morning. Melon balls with mint and honey was my favorite!
The first floor room we stayed in was nice but could have used a little decorating.
Highly recommended.

Yesterday we had fresh baked scones, blueberries and strawberry compote with fresh whipped cream and finished with an baked egg cassulett and frech bread. Today Katie served us fresh baked blueberry scones and this amazing fruit mixture of cantalope, watermelon honey dew melon with a drizzle of honey! It was amazing… all topped off with an eggbeater frittata (she was kind enough to go and get the egg beaters especially for us). Well done Katie! The beds were a memory foam and Katie sells them… sleeping on them were heavenly! Great appointments, wonderful hospitality, walking distance from downtown. She also has bikes that you can tool around town on. Also visit Kona Café, owned by Katie’s Mom, Jan. Kudos!!! Best B & B experience we have ever had.
