CUMBERLAND ISLAND/ GREYFIELD INN In homage to Mother Nature at its coastal finest, Greyfield Inn is part of the Select Registry family, a collection of lodging part- ners that must meet rigorous standards. In the case of this Cumberland Island gem, it far exceeds even those high marks as the only commercial outfit on Cumberland Island. A staggering 18 miles of beachfront helps define why Greyfield Inn is one of Select Reg- istry’s top picks for isolated luxury. Against the backdrop of centuries-old live oaks, shell paths lead to pristine locales dotted around the island, including the Cumberland Is- land National Seashore. The historic Grey- field Inn continues its intoxicating combo of Lowcountry luxe indoors, with heirloom antiques and luxury rooms. The suite to beat is the Library Suite, for its views of the marsh. Don’t miss a scrumptious gourmet picnic lunch, but be back in time for cocktail hour and a candlelit dinner. selectregistry. com, greyfieldinn.com – Kelly Merritt
