An upscale hotel like The Beach House Hotel sometimes attracts surprise guests....
Ann and Rhonda continue overseeing their Beach House Hotel along the Gulf Coast of Florida and providing guests with a lovely experience of good eating, relaxation, and the privacy many of them require. When Vice President of the United States, Amelia Swanson, asks them for a favor, Ann and Rhonda agree without realizing it means protecting Amelia's sister from an abusive husband and a nosy public, including their nemesis, Brock Goodwin, who hopes to gain something from the knowledge. But once they've said yes, there's no going back. Life continues at a busy pace with their families growing baby by baby. Nell, Vaughn's daughter, has a baby girl; Rhonda's daughter, Angela, has her second baby, a girl; and Liz, Ann's daughter, is desperately trying to get pregnant. With all the tension and activity taking place at home and at the hotel, Ann and Rhonda meet in the afternoon when they can for margaritas and private talk. Rhonda, especially, needs Ann's guidance on how to handle Katherine Smythe, Angela's mother-in-law, and one of the most irritating people they know. After they have what Rhonda calls a "near-death experience," they come to realize how lucky they are. And when another wedding takes place at the hotel due to what Rhonda believes is her matchmaking skills, they celebrate life and margaritas at The Beach House Hotel in a whole different way.
