Delightful experience, very clean, in the quiet area on the west end so a bit away from 'downtown' but plenty close to walk. Resort has a portion of the beach to itself, you feel at home there, thoughtful cottage like amenities (needs, home tools, broom). I enjoyed not being imposed on as I don't like services and didn't need them. It showed that there was care and real thoughtfulness, had all the basics in decent supply, and encourages green living but doesn't force it.

Loved staying at the Masthead! Staff was courteous and accommodating, the cottage was so cute and nautical themed. I only wish I could've stayed longer. If you're looking for oceanfront AND quiet in P town, this is the place to go.

The location is just perfect: within walking distance to the town center, but located on the beach and in a quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and other beaches.The staff was kind and helpful, ongoing contact by sms or telephone, receptive to our needs. Some items may be upgraded, but overall everything worked well.

There is a crazy person staying above me. I keep leaving to get away from them and I’ve attempted to say something to them as they were hanging clothes on the railing all day long. They ignored me. It is crazy and I have had no sleep.

I was charged $30 to park on site in a reserved parking spot. However, my vehicle didn’t fit in the spot. I additionally had to pay for public parking after driving around the block 2x. Along with that the door didn’t completely lock and I was woken up by construction the next morning. I politely texted the front desk clerk and asked for at least a refund on parking and haven’t heard back from anyone since Monday.

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.

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
