Richard and Polly Salinetti are about to write a new chapter in the thirteen year history of the Inn. After a lifetime in the hospitality business in Lee, MA, in the Berkshires and in Lillington, NC, the Salinettis have abandoned retirement, returning to their love of what Richard calls "the people business."

Polly, a NC native, has finally realized one of her many dreams: to work and live on the Carolina Coast. Along with Richard, her husband of 46 years, they intend to operate FSI in a very similar manner as the original owners.

They look forward to meeting all the new and old guests, offering their warmth, good cooking and continued excellent service.
