Best on Cape for personal attention to details

From the moment Carol met us on the front porch until we chatted one last time in the kitchen after a gourmet breakfast, we knew we were in great hands. Room was beautiful , oversized jacuzzi was the best, fresh baked cookies the surprise…. our second time, can’t wait for the next.

My friend and I stayed here for 5 days a couple weeks ago to celebrate my birthday. It was such a cute and quaint place. The owners and staff were so sweet. We had to check in quite late due to travel accommodations and the owner sent detailed texts/videos on how to check in and access our room. The breakfast everyday was lovely and really made our stay even more enjoyable. Loved everything about it and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place that is homier than just a regular hotel.

Carol was wonderful. She asked about dietary restrictions and went out of her way to make sure that we could enjoy the breakfast and snacks even though we’re gluten free. She was extremely nice and helpful. The room itself was lovely- clean, quiet, had plenty of places to sit and relax and a small balcony with a table and chairs. The bed was comfortable. We would stay here again.

Like staying with family!

Carol and Jeff were, once again, amazing. They were welcoming and so accommodating with my food allergies and needs. The room was gorgeous and clean. The breakfasts were delicious. The staff there were hospitable and so friendly. Carol’s homemade GF cookies everyday were literally made for myself and one other guest! It was like staying with family. It was so relaxing and we can’t wait to go back! I’d recommend to anyone with celiac disease as well as anyone else!
