The Sunbury Plantation House was built by Irish/English planter Matthew Chapman, one of the first settlers on the island in the early 1660s. Sunbury is over 300 years old and is steeped in rich history boasting old prints, mahogany antiques, and a one-of-a-kind collection of horse-drawn carriages.

It is the only great house where all the rooms are open for visitors to view, and regular tours of the interior and grounds are offered daily. At the end of the tour, guests are welcome to dine in The Courtyard Restaurant and Bar, which offers a delectable array of menu options and refreshing signature spirits.
