When Johnny Kelman first came to the Hamptons he had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before! By the end of the weekend, he had found the B&B experience to be so enjoyable that he and a friend decided they would open their own establishment, the l848 House. After six pleasurable years, Johnny bought his own place, appropriately calling it Getaway House.

A travel consultant by profession, Johnny personally welcomes the guests and makes sure everyone finds a restaurant that suits their tastes. When is the last time someone asked you how you slept and would you like a nice cup of coffee with the morning newspaper? Johnny is also a film buff and one of his favorite B&B moments was when a well-known and accomplished actor stayed at the house and sat in the living room musing on the acting experience. And then there was the Christy Brinkley wedding, attended by some of the B&B guests, who shared all the details at breakfast the next morning. Never a dull moment in the Hamptons.
