This was the best place on the cape my family and I have stayed at. We have been all over the cape at some good hotels. But the hometown feel and the beach front was amazing. We are definitely making this our summer time getaway every year.

The rooms were beautifully updated and exceeded our expectations. The property itself is still a work in progress, with ongoing painting and exterior renovations. Once the cabins and surrounding grounds are fully refreshed, I believe this inn will become exactly what it’s striving to be—a charming, classic Cape Cod-style retreat with four- or even five-star appeal.

Beautiful location. Main building with restaurant and bar has great character. Note, it was just remodeled and restaurant opens next week. Our one king size bed cottage was spacious and had a sitting deck with an ocean view. Price was reasonable for the experience. Highly recommend!

Great stay to be so close to beach in hot and humid weather. I wish so many ppl would not put their towels out to save the loungers for the day. One cabin this wk had 4 stacked and tucked around corner next to cabin. The staff should be instructed to place all together and accessible each day.
