Beautiful cottage by the water.

Enjoyed our weekend in MA in this lovely house. Great view of the bat and a large yard to play/relax in. Short drive to Plymouth waterfront and right around the corner from Persy's. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future trips back south.

Whale Tale Inn Adventure

We loved our stay. The hosts were responsive to my many questions before we arrived. The place was delightful, the porch being our favorite spot. Only issue was that the third bedroom, with twin beds was pretty small and a tad uncomfortable for a teenager and an adult. It would work well for young children. They made do and I think, overall, enjoyed their stay. I have to say, the kitchen is the best equipped of any place I've ever stayed. Thank you, Andy Gillis!

Great weekend getaway

We wanted a quick weekend getaway before dropping the kids back in school and this was perfect. The cottage is super close to the water and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out for a nice quiet paddling in the morning and then enjoying the historical sites in the afternoon. Andy was always a quick phone call away and was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Quiet Gem

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights for a quick getaway and loved this cottage. It was the quintessential oceanside cottage. Very charming, and very clean. We loved sitting on the porch watching the sunset at night and all the boats go by in the bay during the day. It was very peaceful and the owners were attentive to any of our needs if we had any. Would love to return someday!
