Book before you go

Summer is hot and steamy because we’re near the lakefront. Fall is easy, colorful and moderate. Winter requires a few kinds of outerwear but you’ll have fun shopping! So pack what you have, you can always buy what you need. Local and chain stores are easily accessed in Beverly.
Traveling with kids
Children, furry friends and bikes
Need to get around with your crew? Easy to do on public transit which easily accommodates children, service animals and equipped with bike racks.
