This is an easygoing family beach resort, with heated pools, lawn games, and snacks delivered straight to your beach chair.
What it’s good at
Notable
Private Nantucket Sound beach frontage with heated pools, lawn games, and camp programming.
Listed
Welcoming New England families to South Yarmouth's oceanfront for summer vacations since 1968.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds sit between the Parker River and Nantucket Sound, and the Edward Gorey House is a short drive north.
The rooms
Suomi Design Works overhauled the rooms in 2024, giving them a fresh, clean coastal look.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated oceanfront pool has a zero-entry shallow end, and an indoor pool sits beneath curved timber beams.
The spa
Dedicated treatment rooms offer therapeutic massages, facials, and body scrubs just steps from the indoor pool.
Yoga and pickleball
Guests practice yoga on the private beach facing Nantucket Sound, and the grounds hold three pickleball courts.
At the table
Tides & Tavern serves coastal fare between the pool and beach, and the Crow's Nest pours cocktails indoors.
How it began
The Davenport family opened the property in 1968, running it for over fifty years as a Cape Cod summer staple.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
