A Great Reason to Visit Massachusetts!




A Beach House Oceanfront B&B in Plymouth

Plymouth's only Oceanfront Bed & Breakfast. A charming beach house located at the tip of Center Hill Point on Cape Cod Bay! While summer is spectacular, it's not the only time to enjoy the Beach House. In the spring there are flowering trees and Cape Cod gardens. In Autumn there are the October beach walks, holiday shopping, foliage tours, and Thanksgiving Celebration (where it all began). In the winter there is the historic Christmas in Plymouth. Guests often tell us that they had no idea how close everything is in this part of the world. They say, if they had known, they would have extended their stay at the Beach House, where rates are much lower than Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Boston and Newport, and day tripped from here, while still enjoying the ocean view and delicious breakfasts on the deck. Things to do while visiting: tour historic Plymouth; explore quaint Cape Cod villages; discover the Magic of Boston; experience Newport, Rhode Island Mansions; yachting; swim, sun, stroll on beautiful beaches; hunt for bargains at designer outlets; watch whales; take the ferry to Provincetown; ride the Plymouth Duck Tours; listen to folk music at the waterfront; or haunt local galleries for talented area artists. The innkeepers, Denise and Jack Kedian raised their two daughters here. Over the years, they made improvements to the property--four sets of sliders off the living/dining area opening on to a wide deck overlooking Cape Cod Bay; a huge Palladian window above the large picture window in the master suite on the top floor; a spacious screened-in porch off the living room. The open floor plan on the main level takes full advantage of the bay views which can be enjoyed from virtually every living space, from the kitchen and dining areas to the living room. But it was only when her two daughters moved on with their own lives that Denise seriously contemplated opening her home to others. 

"The layout is a natural for a Bed & Breakfast," says Denise of the three-story house. "Each level has its own entrance and each room its own bath, so everyone can have privacy." Denise enjoys sharing her home with visitors. "The key to success is", she says, "you've got to take your area of interest and make a sanctuary, your special place, and then be willing to invite others to share it with you." "For example, we wouldn't be comfortable in a town environment or with Victorian furnishings" she says. "My husband and I like the beach, so we choose to share that kind of casual life-style with our guests. If you do that, if you share your own interests, you create a more genuine, warmer experience for your guests." The interior of The Beach House is casually elegant. It's the kind of interior you wouldn't be surprised to see featured in, if not Architectural Digest, then certainly Better Homes and Gardens. Innkeeper is Denise's fourth career, first teaching, then journalist, and finally a publications/public relations professional. Though she clearly enjoyed the others, innkeeping is a natural fit for her.
