Carriage House is a charming luxury guesthouse, right in the heart of lively downtown Plymouth just a block from the waterfront and harbor, and the perfect place to stay. Families meeting from across the country will love making this gracious home their base - with days out touring historic sites, ocean beaches, whale watches, nightlife, and trips to Fenway Park, Boston, the Cape, and Newport mansions. It’s always rewarding to have a luxurious, convenient place as your home away from home.

Here's a review from a family which stayed in October:
"This place is incredible! We chose it as a destination for a family vacation and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. The location is less than 5 minutes walking distance from restaurants and shops, yet tucked away on a private street – we didn't encounter any noise whatsoever. The kitchen was incredible and had the most comprehensive array of cookware spices, coffee, ice maker, 48" Wolf range, wet bar (and more) that I've ever had in a rental home. The entire home, especially the bathrooms, were spotless. There were ample towels, linens, laundry room. Robin is an absolutely wonderful host who was just incredible to book with. I cannot recommend this home highly enough for your next trip to Plymouth, MA. It rates higher than 5 stars!"

FIRST FLOOR: Bright foyer with cheerful star carpet. Large double living room with fireplace and dining area. Top-quality Wolf/SubZero kitchen with bay window seating. Private main-level queen ensuite bedroom with private shower bathroom (a graceful amenity created for the main purpose of accommodating our revered elder guests and those with a few mobility issues. While we are mobility-friendly we are not fully ADA compliant). Charming bathroom/powder room so the main floor private bedroom doesn't have to share its bathroom. And a wraparound farmer's porch for easy outdoor access.

SECOND FLOOR: (Bedroom Queen) Large queen ensuite bedroom with canopy bed, digital TV, wet bar/vanity, and full shower bathroom. (Bedroom Full) Bedroom with a full-size bed. (Bedroom 3 Twins) Spacious bright dormer bedroom with 3 single beds. The upstairs foyer has a Laundry room (we provide laundry supplies) and Another full shower bathroom off the Laundry. Bathrooms have showers (not tubs.)
YARD: Pleasant compact downtown yard with lawn, barbecue area with Weber grill. Wrap-around farmer's porch is a great place to dine or enjoy afternoon shade.

You'll have privacy, a beautiful in-town stay, understated luxury and comfort, central HVAC throughout the home, a classy kitchen (Sub Zero and Wolf state-of-the-art appliances), a spacious living room with fireplace + a fabulous SubZero wet bar/microwave pantry. Breakfast window seat in the kitchen for un-serious dining and checking email via wifi. This home offers four comfortable bedrooms with quality linens. Two of the bedrooms are "en suite" with private bathrooms. The upstairs master even has its own wet bar/morning kitchen for a tad of privacy for a couple (while the grandparents reconnect with the grandkids downstairs). Total renovation gave us 3.5 bathrooms with classic tile showers and granite countertops. And LOCATION...all in a yesteryear home you can rent like a hotel so you can play tourist without getting stuck in a bland boxy hotel room.

Step out your door, and 50 feet away, a few times a year are the charming, old-school street parades at Thanksgiving and Independence Day. A block beyond that is the harbor and whale watching boats, the seasonal Provincetown ferry, excellent seafood eateries, restaurants, fine dining, and fresh-caught seafood to bring home and grill. Historic sites abound, along with walk-to-everything boutiques, antiques, museums, art galleries (not like Provincetown, but we are getting there)!

Prices are based on time of year (off-season/low season/high season, holiday/non-holiday) number of guests, and length of stay (longer stays get lower rates.). OFF SEASON - low rates, please inquire. Also, contact us if you have special needs.

What an amazing stay we had!!!!

This is a very charming well maintained home in walking distance to town. We absolutely loved it! The owners were amazing and we really felt well taken care of! I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting more space than what a hotel room offers and also to experience some of the old world charm Plymouth has to offer. It's important to know that this charming home has been completely renovated and decorated in very excellent taste!

Living history!

Our stay at the Carriage house was perfect! Plymouth is a gem, about 45 minutes outside the big city of Boston, maintaining its charm and history. The house is walkable to downtown Plymouth and if you don’t want to walk, there is a service called Ride Circuit that will pick you up and drop you off all day around Plymouth. Plenty of things to see, places to eat, take the haunted ghost tour! The house was well equipped, plenty of towels- a beef of mine when staying for a week- spacious for 6 of us with a gourmet kitchen! Would stay here again!

Great Spot

The house was even better than the photos show! We had 2 families - one couple and one couple with 2 kids. We all had our own space. LOVE the bedrooms & bathrooms for everyone. We most loved gathering around the kitchen table. The kitchen is so nice we cooked a couple of breakfasts! The harbor is literally 4 very easy blocks away. Totally walking distance - even for us! It was a fabulous spot as our home base while exploring the area. I highly recommend!

Perfect Vacation Home

This home was the perfect place for our family to enjoy on our family vacation in July! The look and charm of the house is to die for. Robin did an excellent job decorating and everything was of top quality. The wrap around porch was the perfect spot for an early morning cup of coffee! The house was very clean, which is always very important! And the house was stocked with any extra necessities your house at home would have. The location was perfect, a nice stroll away from the heart of the Plymouth waterfront. This home allows dogs, it is always so wonderful when owners allow the renters to bring their pets and be included in the family vacation too! Robin was a great owner to rent from, very friendly, accommodating and a pleasure to communicate with. Will love to stay in one of Robin's rentals again in one of our future vacations!

Pure Perfection!

Words can not begin to express how much my family and I enjoyed our stay in this charming house! We rented the Carriage house for my daughter's wedding. We wanted somewhere beautiful for her to get dressed in, take pictures and have her bridal party surround her for her big day. As soon as we walked in, it felt like HOME!! It was the perfect home in EVERY way! It was warm, inviting, beautiful furnished, immaculate and fully equipped with every detail. I wish there were more stars to rate this property! It is definitely a 5+++ rental!! Robin, the owner, is awesome to work with. She was very accommodating. She always answered all my questions and returned my calls and emails promptly. I had the pleasure of meeting her and she was as lovely and charming as I expected! I, of course, HIGHLY recommend this home and would love to return one day soon! Desiree C.

PERFECTION IN PLYMOUTH AT THE CARRIAGE HOUSE!

Four of us; my 94-year-old mother, daughter and granddaughter and I converged on the Carriage House. To our surprise our first night in town was Plymouth’s Holiday open house, with beautifully trimmed windows, carolers, and a marathon through town. The Carriage House was a perfect refuge from the chill after our brisk cool walk through town over to the statute of Massasoit then down to Plymouth Rock. The colors, furnishings fireplace that greeted us were the makings of a Hollywood Holiday movie set. A fully stocked, spacious eat in gourmet kitchen served as a gathering spot, as local family members dropped by to say hello to the families Matriarch, my mother. We cooked, laughed, celebrated family and the Holiday throughout our stay. It was truly magical, and I am certain never to be duplicated. Robin, was kind and helpful throughout the entire process, extended courtesies to help me manage this cross-country trek with a wheelchair bound women. The first-floor bedroom was a God send. I was asked often why would we leave sunny California in December for Plymouth. It was because there is nothing like Plymouth in the winter. First; fewer tourists, more community, beautiful landscapes, (still got my fried clams with bellies thank you), and an authentic Holiday atmosphere. I loved it. I woke like a 10 year old, each morning. I’d jump out of bed pull up the shades and peer out looking for white powder outside. We got a bit of hale, which my daughter dubbed snow pellets, and so we counted it as snow…  All in all everything from making my reservations, to entry, departure and my stay were perfect. If you are looking at the Carriage House as a possibility for a stay in Plymouth, stop and go no further. This is the place you want to stay. I promise you will be satisfied. I loved it. Thank you, Robin,…

Our well needed break!

Upon entering we fell in love with house, the furnishings and general warmth of the home. Kitchen is totally equipped with all one needs. To say the house was immaculate would be an understatement. We wished had had booked a longer stay and will defintely book here again soon. It was perfect in every way.

6 star review

Please imagine an extra star on this review. If ever a VRBO home deserved 6 stars, this is it. We have rented places in many places in the US and beyond and I have never had such a well appointed home. The kitchen alone was fabulous, and included spices, plenty of serving dishes, cookware and all other necessities. I don’t like to cook, but the wolf range called to out to be used and it was a pleasure cooking in that kitchen. This home has a Great location, is spotlessly clean, wonderful bedding and a wrap around porch with plenty of seating for family dinners outside. I could go on… but just know, this place is very, very special.

We stayed at the Carriage House to have a quiet place for the bride and bridal party to get ready for our daughters wedding. Everything couldn't have been more perfect. This home is beautiful and so wonderfully decorated. It's clean, so spacious and so accommodating with so many amenities. I can only imagine how much we would have used the front porch if it was warmer weather. The location is the best with walking distance to so many restaurants, shops etc. Robin was outstanding and so attentive to our inquiries and requests. I cannot say enough about this truly "charming" home which in a word was "perfect" in every way. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Love this house

This house was perfect for our family. We had our 2 kids, their grandparents and Aunt ... 7 people total and everyone was able to have their own space. The house is historic but with modern updates inside and all the conveniences to make traveling easy. Walking distance to downtown Plymouth. We would stay here again for sure.

Why they chose this property

Plymouth is history. Plymouth is an important part of America's beginnings. Sometimes you have to look closely to see this history under centuries of urban progress. For example, an impressive mansion hiding under modern "upgrades" and made into offices...a textile mill mostly removed, and now retrofitted as a waterfront restaurant. And this newly renovated luxury guesthouse built as a carriage house in the 1830s, made into a home in 1920, and surviving until now to be reimagined (and almost totally rebuilt) as an exciting luxury Guest House.

What makes this property unique

Walk to historic downtown Plymouth's attractions -2 blocks to whale watch boats and harbor, 4 blocks to Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II, 3 blocks to Brewster Gardens and its lovely park and stream. Walk to restaurants, museums, art galleries, coffee shops and boutiques, antique malls and fancy clothiers: Setting the Space, Plymouth Center for the Arts, monuments, statues, gardens, souvenirs shops, pubs, lobster and clam shacks, gourmet food, a new "gastro pub called The Tasty, and much more that you'll find when you enjoy this lovely, lively town.
