By The Sea Guests
Bed and Breakfast

By The Sea Guests Bed and Breakfast, sporting its own private beach, is located on Cape Cod in Dennisport, Massachusetts.

In 1964, a recently widowed, uneducated Greek immigrant woman came to New England in pursuit of a small business in which she could engage and keep her family together. After looking at many different properties, she fell in love with an old lodging house situated on Nantucket Sound. The woman was Ms. Efthalia N. Kossifos, mother of the current owners. Today, her tradition of service and hospitality continues.

By The Sea Guests offers 12 guest rooms. Each guest room has a private ceramic tiled bathroom with glass shower, including two with soaking tubs, color cable television with HBO, refrigerator, ceiling fans, and air conditioning with individually controlled thermostats. New in 2006, free high speed Internet access. Most rooms have an ocean view, with some directly overlooking Nantucket Sound. Vacation Rental Suites are also available.

A full breakfast is served each morning on the oceanfront Veranda. Start your day with rich coffee, specialty teas, fruit juices, cut fresh fruit bowl, hot or cold cereals, fresh hot baked rolls, a variety of warmed pastries, and a hot entrée. The hearty breakfast is not available to the occupants of suites. Throughout the day and into the evening there are always fresh fruit, home-baked cookies and mini-desserts, coffee, tea, and cocoa available. From time to time, complimentary Champagne Punch or wine with cheese and crackers and other various snacks as well as hors d'oeuvres are served on either the oceanfront Veranda or in the comfort of the livingroom.

Let the salt air breezes rejuvenate you. Take in a sunset or midnight stroll on the beach during the warm summer nights. Or on a cool fall evening, unwind by a crackling fire in the quiet comfort of the large oversized living room.

Lounge chairs, umbrellas, barbecue grills, utensils and picnic tables are available for your use. When you're not taking in the sights and just want to loaf around a bit, sit a spell on the 100-foot porch overlooking Cape Cod's Nantucket Sound. The spacious living room has relaxing furniture, a huge friendly fireplace and color television.

For those who like to get out, there are many activities and attractions to visit near the Bed and Breakfast Inn. Explore the many fine art galleries and unique antique shops along historic Route 6A or in one of the neighboring towns.

Take in a hike at one the many nature trails, or rent a bicycle and choose from any of the well-pathed trails that criss-cross the Cape.

Visit Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, both accessible by ferry, which is just a short drive from the Inn.

There are also day fishing trips and whale watching trips that the staff would be happy to set up for you.
