Tortuga has set sail! We celebrate what she has done for us, but as we explored what once was Breezy Point Inn, its rich history and storied past, of German food, Oktoberfest, and so much more, a surprise awaited.

We go back 21 years, the Bailey Family had just purchased an historic home in West Milford, built in 1867 on one of the highest points of land where legend has it, Native Americans once made camp. The Baileys began a journey to bring back this piece of history as they built their life and future.

Sifting through the layers of history in papers, books and charcoal portraits of those gone before, revealed a colorful historic tapestry including orchards, land records and many family pictures on slides. There were a few letters between the friends and family back in the day including one postcard from around the year 1910. The postcard showed a young girl sitting on the steps on a dirt road with the house behind her in all her original glory. Above the girl is an arched sign with three words that would, in 2018, take on a huge significance, “Breezy Point Villa”.
