My wife and I recently had the pleasure of spending three delightful nights at Captain David Kelley Bed and Breakfast, and I cannot express enough how wonderful our experience was. The historic charm of the house, dating back to 1835, set the stage for a truly enchanting stay. From the moment we arrived, hosts Tom and Rick made us feel like treasured guests. Their warm and welcoming manner added an extra layer of magic to our visit, making it clear that this is not just a bed and breakfast, but a home filled with genuine hospitality. Tom and Rick's commitment to ensuring a special stay was evident in every detail, turning each breakfast into a memorable experience. Speaking of breakfast, the morning spread was a culinary delight. From delicious fruits to scrumptious scones and perfectly cooked eggs, every meal was a feast for the senses. What made it truly special, though, was not just the food but the lively and entertaining company of Tom and Rick. They infused each meal with their unique brand of hospitality, making us feel like part of the family. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, and we were fortunate enough to be the sole occupants on our first day. When we expressed curiosity about the other rooms, Tom graciously took us on a tour, showcasing the old-world charm that permeates each space. The attention to detail and the personal touch in the decor spoke volumes about the care and love they've invested in making this historic house a home. Our visit happened to coincide with the holiday season, and the house was adorned with festive decorations that added an extra layer of warmth and cheer. Rick took the time to share the fascinating journey of how they acquired the house in the first place and the extensive renovations it underwent over the years. It's evident that this is not just a business for them; it's a passion project that they've molded into something truly extraordinary. Adjacent to the bed and breakfast is the charming 1856 Country Store, a delightful extension of the experience. Here, you can find everything from home decor to old-fashioned knick-knacks, and of course, the temptation of Cape Cod saltwater taffy. It's a perfect complement to the overall charm of the place. One of the highlights of our stay was the friendly competition of "scone wars" between Rick and Tom. Each day brought a new and delectable variety, and we had the privilege of being the judges. Needless to say, both scone masters left us thoroughly impressed. In conclusion, our time at Captain David Kelley Bed and Breakfast was nothing short of magical. Tom and Rick have not just created a bed and breakfast; they've crafted a haven of warmth, history, and unparalleled hospitality. Their passion for what they do is infectious, and we left with not just fond memories but a genuine sense of connection. If you're seeking an experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further than this enchanting haven created by Tom and Rick.

I enjoyed the Scone wars, I enjoyed their warm and friendly manner. Their other guests reflected their mood, so it was an all around good time. You cannot go wrong at all by staying here. I would only recommend you book more than one night as you will only experience one show and one chef's scones. I would go back, but I would ensure I got to taste the other chef's take on the scone. These gentlemen are owner operators. Therefore, they really do care if you have a comfortable time. Thank you for making my little vacation more comfortable. Haroula and Ken

WOW! This B&B is awesome! My husband and I went to Cape Cod, while Hurricane Lee was looming off shore, just waiting to pounce. We were pleased with our choice of places to stay. The owners Rick and Tom were so amazing, so much fun, made our stay worth every cent. The rooms are beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Location was perfect, easy to travel around and back. And of course, the scones and the scone wars were awesome!! This place is worth the trip to Cape Cod, I’d give this place two thumbs up!!Rooms: Spacious, clean, comfortable, homey,

This is our "go to" place on Cape Cod and we have been coming to the CDK House for at least ten years. The ambiance is fantastic, thanks to the hosts, Rick and Tom, who do everything in their power to ensure your stay is memorable. The location is handy for beaches, restaurants, shopping, and yet is nestled in a quiet, historic district, where probably the only noise is the sound of the laughter generated by Tom & Rick's "entertainment" at breakfast. The antique-filled rooms are beautifully appointed, comfortable and immaculate. The historic house has attractive covered porches and lovely grounds. This is a popular place, so book early if you are planning a visit, and if for no other reason, go for the scones ! You won't be disappointed.

We would be remiss if we did not, once again, record accolades for two of the best hosts we have ever encountered. Tom & Rick were born to be inn keepers! After several years away, our late summer stay at CDK House was wonderful. Even a day of rain did not dampen our outlook as we enjoyed seeing old friends and sharing in their scone wars.. We highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a centrally located inn, with wonderfully comfortable rooms and a breakfast you cannot beat. Where else can you get all of that and morning entertainment? Thanks, guys, for all you do.

We just left the most magical stay with Rick and Tom. What a welcoming, comfortable and fun environment! The scones were divine only to be out done by the presentation. We could not recommend their home highly enough. Come for the scones but stay for the song and dance.

The Captain David Kelley House is the BEST place to stay on the cape!! The house itself is historic and charming, the rooms are phenomenally decorated and incredibly clean, the breakfast is top notch, the yard is beyond peaceful, and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. Rick and Tom are the most hospitable and generous humans, and you can tell they go out of their way to make every guest feel welcome and comfortable.Rooms: Decorated to match the charm and whimsy of the home, but very clean with comfortable beds.Safety: VERYYY safeWalkability: A neighborhood to walk around, but you can’t walk to many restaurants, bars, etc. You CAN walk to the beach

Hands down the best B&B my wife and I have ever stayed at! Rick and Tom welcomed us like family and we’re very attentive to our needs, even bringing us towels after 8 pm and staying late to meet us the night we arrived. The room was very comfortable and clean with great cape cod charm. Now to breakfast…there may be a daily scone war but there are no casualties in this battle. Each day we were excited to see what the new flavor would be, as well as the wonderful accompanying show! We easily spent 1.5-2 hours at the table each morning, enjoying the company and the excellent hosts! I could write on and on about how great this place was but I think I’ll run out of space. Whether you are team Rick or team Tom there is one thing you will agree on, the Captain David Kelley house is not just a great B&B, but also a great experience!

What a wonderful stay! We rented the entire place for the weekend for us (bride and groom) and our bridal party. Tom and Rick were lovely, entertaining, and incredible scone makers!! Having grown up in Osterville, I never had a reason to stay at a BnB. I was lucky enough to choose this charming Cape Cod inn for a fantastic weekend stay and may make it a staycation tradition!

Linda and I very much enjoyed our stay. The room was great, the bed super comfortable, and we loved the decor throughout the house. Tom and Rick are wonderful, and have great personalities. They make outstanding scones and full breakfast and are hospitable far beyond the norm. But then again is there a norm at Captain David Kelley's House??

My first visit to Cape Cod couldn't have been more welcoming, entertaining, and delicious as our stay at the fabulous Captain David Kelley House! Eric and Tom are the not only amazing Inn keepers, the house is lovely and sweet, they give you breakfast with a show! Loved the 'scone' wars, and IYKYK! And if you don't you are missing out!! Love, the Miami Gals, Melissa, JeriAnn and Julie

You know that feeling you get when you know you made a mistake and your going to regret it for awhile? That was the feeling we got when we checked out of Captain Kellys. We new at that moment we should have book our stay for a whole week not just three nights, From the time Ken greeted us to the first Scone Tom baked for us. We enjoyed everything about our stay at Captain Kellys. The Scone Kings as they are, were the perfect hosts. They helped us book dinner reservations, helped us change reservations last min. They were quick with a joke and their breakfasts were 5 stars. I cannot think of any reason why I would stay anywhere else in Cap cod. We plan to return in the furture as we need more of what they offer. Tom and Rick are two one of a kind guys. I wish we lived closer so we could enjoy them more. Thank you for making our trip a " Scone away from Home" experience.
