Great location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Masthead. #39 is a great two floor cottage with a beautiful water view. And we saved money with the full kitchen...breakfast every morning and cooked dinner twice. And an easy walk to Victor's bistro, and Ptown's shopping area.

Cape Cod perfection!

The view of the bay from our suite was amazing! The decor was so tasteful, and perfect vintage Cape Cod. The bed was very comfy and shower was great, and so was WiFi.

My wife and I chose Masthead Resort for a nice quiet getaway to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. I truly can not say enough what a great spot to escape the rat race of life and enjoy the beautiful scenery, proximity to great restaurants and shops and spend some wonderful quality time together. And I really want to mention what great friendly person at the desk that greeted us and checked us in, her name is Karen!

The Hotel time forgot

Terrible. Management only communicates by text, which they never answer. Checking in was a challenge as the person went missing. Room was musty smelling, bed was very old and dented in the middle - very uncomfortable. Reading material was from the 1980's. The morning we woke up there was no water. No word from management. We checked out asking for a refund. Got Hotels.com involved they were of no help. Trying to get a refund through AMEX as I would say that no service was rendered considering no water. It's a shame as the property has a spectacular view.

The website is not accurate at all. We went expecting cottages and got a small room with a separate shower and bathroom. It wasn’t a shared bathroom but very inconvenient. It’s in a great area but the site also said beach views which it did not have. Overall not awful but the ads are very misleading

It is okay but not great. I didn’t see a single staff member the entire weekend. The shower was tiny but had great water pressure. The bed was comfortable but had no headboard so you couldn’t sit comfortably on it to read or watch tv. There were only two outlets in the room one had the air conditioner plugged into it and the other had the lamp, refrigerator, and coffee maker plugged into it. None were conveniently placed

I feel privileged to be able to have a night out with my best friend to celebrate our birthdays in such a wonderful area. This place was perfect. It was beautiful and our room had a giant picture window with the most amazing view of the Wood End lighthouse. The only thing that caught me off guard was the parking. Had I known, I would have planned better (I thought I was all set but had to reserve a spot for $30 a night - and there were none left at the hotel so we had to park at the rotary). Other than that, the place was great!

Great location for July 4th celebrations, quieter but still very convenient. Very New England feel so buildings are a little old. Everything went well overall despite staying in their hotel room with no attached bathroom--the bathroom was just a couple of doors down, and I don't think anyone else used it during my stay despite my hotel building seeming to be at full occupancy. Room was larger even than expected, especially for one person--it would have been pretty small for 2 people though (full bed). Communication with staff was polite when there was a small issue, but it was a little more bare than expected in terms of details provided.
