Excellent mansion and museum about Doris Duke. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful garden. This is a gem!

The entire cliff walk is a wonderful stroll and gives you the view of the Atlantic and the back of some mansions. Most of the trail path is paved and easy walking there are some rocky points for minimal climbing as needed. From one end to the other in the back is about 7 miles but You can just do portions.

Great display! Was hoping the second floor can be kept more original. Part of second floor was renovated to look like art gallery. Kids loved the scavenger hunt!

Very interesting to see a home that was in the transition from early to late 1900’s. It’s too bad they don’t have more information on Doris Duke. I’m sure the gardens are even more beautiful in summer. Some of the interior parts of the house are definitely going to need worked on soon.
