About this property

Book your Spring Getaway, at off season rates!

Come experience this Spring's blooming arrival while exploring the waterfront in downtown Plymouth!

Our location is walkable and super safe, and you'll be in the heart of it all.

We are less than a block from many beaches, restaurants, nightlife and historical tours.

Check out our walk-through video on You Tube. Type WhaleTailInt 2019 in the search for a virtual tour of the entire house.

Hop on the "T" and day trip to Boston, or head to Cape Cod for beaches galore and souvenir shopping!

We are less than a block from a plethora of restaurants, family-friendly activities, nightlife and historical touring. Hop on the commuter rail and day trip to Boston for great museums and culture, or head to the Cape for beaches galore and souvenir shopping. Enjoy beaches right up the street, and experience a true New England winter on the waterfront!

You’ll love the plush carpeted bedrooms and the comfortable accommodations the Whale Tail offers. My place is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups. We've thought of everything!

The Whale Tail is the perfect spot to experience 'America's Hometown' - right at your front door. With a wide variety of excellent local cuisine and shops just steps away, you will have plenty to do and see. Visit historical museums, Plymouth Rock shops and local attractions. Plymouth beach is the biggest beach close-by (about 2 miles up RT 3A) and offers paid public parking and a beach side seasonal restaurant - 'Sandys'. Enjoy all kinds of seafood, burgers, fries and the full bar while you watch the waves and enjoy the salty spray. Never a dull moment! This is what they mean when they say LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!

Three upstairs bedrooms accommodate eight comfortably, so bring your family and friends. With a queen bed in two of the cozy bedrooms and four convertible twins in the third (two 'convert' to king size with trundles), and a pull out queen couch on the ground floor if the bff's want to come too!

We have also just finished a new small basement level unit that will occasionally be owner-only occupied. It is accessed by a separate entrance off the front of the house and is a completely separate space from the house.

Central heat and AC keeps the Whale Tail at just the right temperature. The kitchen is a great place to cook and entertain. Fully stocked, you won't need a thing! The kitchen opens onto the deck and grilling is a must year-round. The gas grill is set up year round, and the retractable awning on the porch is great for spending some time in the shade (or if it rains!). The ample dining room seats eight around a beautiful cherry dining set for a more formal gathering, complete with giraffes.

All that Plymouth has to offer is just steps from your door. Something is always happening year round for kids and adults - day and night - any season... but a quiet and safe enough street for some serious chilling if that is what you are after.

This house is a great central location for day trips too. Boston is less than an hour drive, or "Take the 'T' in" from the local Plymouth train station. Cape Cod is a short hop down Rt. 3 - packed with beaches, bike trails and plenty more to see. At the end of the street, there is also a seasonal ferry that will take you right to the docks and beaches at Provincetown. A must see for anyone who hasn't been!

So much to do and discover - Fall in New England is here - book today!

Perfect place in Plymouth

What a great place to enjoy Plymouth! The location is ideal… Walking distance to the parade (Plymouth rock) and downtown area. We really enjoyed being able to walk everywhere! It was also nice to be able to have a parking spot designated next to the house. The kitchen had everything we needed and was functional. It was a nice touch to have the extra umbrella since we had weather while visiting. The rooms were set up nicely, clean and organized.

Cold

We were in Plymouth Christmas week. It was a very cold and windy week. The upstairs back bedroom (twin beds) did not have heat. It was very cold in there. Our adult children (20,25) ended up sleeping in jackets and hats. Other than that, the house was just what we needed and expected. Close to everything and very clean.

Best 4th of July Ever!!

Our family of seven adults stayed at the Whale Tail during 4th of July week. The house was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable for all of us. The location is excellent - walking distance to many historical sites, restaurants, ice cream shops, bars, stores, coffee shops, and much more. Plymouth really knows how to celebrate the 4th and if you stay at the Whale Tail you can walk to the parade, concert, and fireworks festivities, no need to move the car. We also recommend the ferry ride to Boston, the sunset cruise, and a concert by the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra. There is one parking space at the Whale Tail. Finding overnight parking for our additional cars was challenging. We definitely recommend this house. So glad we came to Plymouth MA!

Perfect

Our family of 4 (Mom, Dad and 2 adult kids) had an amazing stay! We could not have picked a more perfect location! We walked to everything and only moved our car one time all week. There is so much to do in Plymouth! The house was probably the most well stocked house we have ever rented. We loved everything about our stay!

Family Wedding in Plymouth

Everything was amazing! We we're in town for my son's wedding and this was our first time visiting Plymouth. The house was perfect for our group of 8 and the location couldn't have been better. The city and our neighbor Tony made us feel so welcome. We look forward to our next time.

Great location!

The house was immaculately clean and well-equipped. It's in a great location - one block from downtown and great restaurants in one direction and a few blocks more down to the harbor in the other direction. Our only complaint was the mattress in the front facing bedroom was uncomfortable. Otherwise a great place to enjoy beautiful Plymouth!

Great location!

My kids, grandkids and I had a wonderful week at The Whaletail. The location was excellent with so many things to do within walking distance. The house was very comfy and had plenty of room. Parking for one car only was the biggest challenge but we worked around it with alternative parking nearby. Would love to stay there again sometime!

Charming cottage in Plymouth!

We loved staying at this property! We were in town for a wedding and this cottage was perfect for our family as an alternative to hotels. The location was so perfect, centrally located to the water and main street. We were so impressed with all of the extra amenities in the home, from beach towels to umbrellas to bicycles. We hope to come back and enjoy more of what Plymouth has to offer. We highly recommend the Whale's Tail!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Evers

Host profile image
Growing up in the southeastern MA, I've always been drawn to the Plymouth area. It's beachy and fun, lots of things to do and lots of options. I decided to sell my more suburban home, and buy here in the heart of Plymouth. It's been fun creating a space to make visitors comfortable and ready for a great week of exploring this historically steeped area - there's nothing like New England!!
