Jennifer is a wonderful host and is so helpful on the property and what's going on around town. The area is quiet, clean, peaceful. The cottages are fully furnished with all you need in the kitchen. Each cottage is appointed with everything, outdoor showers, bbq grill even charcoal to get you started. And they are Clean. This matters. Some cape cabins or rooms tend to be musty or messy. Sorry, but I've been coming here for 45 years and nothing's changed. Cottage grove cottages are impeccable. This is a quiet refuge from kiddos. Sorry, but that's my take on it. There is no pool, no playground, none of that. Plenty of those elsewhere and that's where the kids are. Go enjoy that if that is what you need. This is quiet and wonderful for adults, couples, singles, artists, empty nesters or anyone wanting to get away from screaming, kids crying and yelling, parents, cursing, car horns.... Ah. Back to serenity. Isn't that better? This is the best there is. Close enough to PTown, Wellfleet and Truro. Go to Nauset lobster pool, get a few and bring it back for a nice dinner on your picnic table. Stars are out. You got back from free music on the beach.

From the moment we arrived, the hosts were accommodating, and even Mother Nature seemed to be in on the hospitality--the weather was perfect throughout our visit. Our friends arriving from NYC recommended the spot since they stayed once prior our visit. This historic property is ideally located, just a short distance from the beaches, making it a breeze to enjoy the sun and surf. Our morning walks could not have been better and complete with Cape Cod views! We rented a Jeep for the trip and were pleasantly surprised to find a garage available, which made storing parts and beach gear super convenient. Thoughtful amenities elevated the experience, including umbrellas, beach chairs, and an unexpected highlight--unlimited Prosecco! The attention to detail was impressive, and you can find even more about their offerings online, as they're remarkably well organized. One of our favorite features was the music room, which houses a Yamaha baby grand piano, multiple saxophones, and guitars--a dream setup. Breakfast was perfect and always on time. All allergies were respected and delivery was flawless. I remember once we had to leave early and the owners have packed our snack To-Go. Wow! This B&B truly blends comfort, creativity, and convenience into a memorable Cape Cod getaway. It is highly recommended.

The second floor was clean and spacious. The place has a lot of room for a family, complete with full kitchen. It's VERY outdated and needs a facelift and attention to details, but it did the job of providing us a clean place to sleep. The towels had some stains on them and there was a bit of mildew on the shower curtain. The front desk staff were very friendly and fun. It is along the main road, so you can hear the traffic, but not too noisy.

This is a 70's era condo development that has turned into a hybrid time-share hotel arrangement. It's sort of halfway between a vacation cabin rental and a hotel room, with each unit having one or two bedrooms and a kitchenette. They're arranged four to a doorway/unit, and the "office" is a clubhouse with a pool and the front desk in a separate building. No elevator access to the second floor units. Pros: - super, super nice staff - spacious for hotel standards, a little less space than you typically get with a cabin rental - "private" outdoor veranda out the back on a grassy area - despite being right on Main Street (don't plan on taking any left turns in season), convenient location, particularly for food - there's a Star Market (formerly Shaw's) literally next door you can walk over to, and the excellent Daily Paper diner for breakfast and lunch across the way. (No breakfast at the 'Resort' but they do have coffee in the clubhouse.) You can bike or have a longish walk to the beach from here or get into downtown Hyannis relatively easy, if you dare. - wifi/TV quite decent, with outlets for device charging in good spots - we didn't try the pool but it was a good size and the adjacent club house looks out over it (no life guards) and we saw other families enjoying it - good-sized kitchenette, although feeding more than four to a room requires spreading out between the little breakfast island and the small dining table. - the sofa bed was big, and the living room lounge area was fine for four people to congregate - the price, at least for us, was right in the off-season. Cons: - a bit run down on the inside. Our unit had a cracked bathroom fixture, evidence of repainting to hide cosmetic scars and previous incarnations (see photo), and one door that was off its hinge and couldn't be closed without picking it up (the hinge screws were stripped so it couldn't be tightened). - the "musty Cape Cod old hotel smell" which is pretty common is present. - independent heating units in each room didn't quite work well by the thermostat. One room was way too hot and the other a bit chilly as a result. There are window air conditioning units, one front and one back, which we didn't try because of the season. - the major problem: noise. Night 1 there were people upstairs and we could hear every step. We also heard kid noise in the front room from the adjacent unit. Night 2 we had no neighbors and could tell the difference quite readily. The units obviously haven't been soundproofed with new flooring separation or in-wall insulation. So.....would we stay there again? Yes... at the rate we got, even with the wear and tear it was decent. It's not ideal because of the noise issue, if that weren't a concern we'd bump it up a star, if we hadn't gotten 50% of a good night's sleep though it would have been down to two stars. I suspect it may be more of a problem in-season. Tips if you do book - bring your own towels (the ones supplied are the very low end of hotel grade) and blankets (ditto).

We had stayed here in 2012 as it was so close to where we used to live in 1980-81. It was a…read morefabulous choice. We had been back to the area in 2017 but in mid summer elected to get a beach house rental for the week, walkable to Surf Drive Beach. But this fall we were returning for a shorter visit in order to see more of New England and friends from our past, so we booked here again. We learned that the inn had been sold in the interim and called to make a reservation. We discovered that the new owners Liza and Alfredo still ran it as an Inn but no longer as a Bed and Breakfast as they also had other careers and school age children. The name has been changed just a bit to reflect this. Though it was lovely in the past, we found it even more so now, even without the breakfast. You will not starve in the area. We did not, there are many choices. The Inn is just as lovely as before, though we were here in early fall during a rainy week, it was still very comfortable. If anything, the many updates made it even more so. It had been 11 years since our last visit, yet so much of the normal wear and tear we had expected were not visible. It was so fresh and cheerful in a mostly gloomy weather week. But we enjoyed every minute of our time in Woods Hole and Falmouth, from Nobska light, now restored and open twice a week for tours (do go up to the top of the tower) , Spohr Gardens, preparing for winter but monarchs still in the butterfly house, with some renovations to the aging wooden dock underway, Oyster Pond almost into fall colors, so much to see. Some new businesses to us on Main St in Falmouth, like Estia for Greek food right near the Green. For the first time ever, in a visit to Woods Hole, we did not see the drawbridge on Water Street open even once, though we ate two breakfasts at the venerable Pie in the Sky and a dinner at the Kidd. The labs were quieter than we have seen since our winter of 1980-81 though the research vessels in port. Still some activity around the Ferries but less than full summer. If you are fit and it is not raining, the Shining Sea bike path is still well used. It was so nice to be back, almost like coming home, which our former space was such a short distance from the Inn. Though busy with other careers too, Liza and Alfredo were very approachable and involved. When making arrangements for our reservations, Liza was accessible and full of information. She was raised nearby and knows everything about the area. Though they have 3 children, we never heard a peep or any disruption. It was a school week and they were taking care of their business too. We hope to return another time, in the summer, this really is our go-to place to stay in the area and in summer, I am sure the kids might be helping out too. We were so busy, I neglected to take any pictures but the previous ones are still good guides, minus the breakfast food. The room interior was still the historic furnishings but the usable floorings and bath fixtures are very new and modern. Do not hesitate, it is not a creaky old inn, like some places I have stayed around the country. It is respectful of the history but thoroughly modern where needed.

Beautiful inn in Woods Hole with delicious breakfast and lovely grounds!…read more My two friends and I enjoyed a wonderful two-night stay at Woods Hole Passage for Labor Day weekend. My friend made the reservation so I can't speak to that part, but I know the host answered a lot of questions via email before our stay. We checked on a Saturday around 3pm. The host (sorry, I forgot her name!) checked us in and gave us several maps of Woods Hole, Falmouth, and the Cape, giving us an overview of restaurants and activities nearby. She also offered us any beer and beverages in the mini frig in the dining room as well as checked in with any food allergies for breakfast. She was very accommodating for my friend with a gluten allergy. We got our keys to the upstairs room with a queen and twin bed. The room was very clean, airy, and had everything we needed. It included a closet with two robes, several towels in the bathroom, and a water pitcher with glasses. Breakfast the next morning was served between 8:30-9:30am outside on the deck area. The tables each had an umbrella, place settings, and a beautiful view of the yard with hydrangeas and other flowers all around. The first day we were there, we were served coffee and tea with juices inside (serve yourself) and mini muffins. Outside, the host brought us yogurt parfaits with fruit and granola to start. Then we were served a delicious bread pudding with berries and two sausage links. This was my favorite breakfast! The second day we had watermelon and blueberries then a potato frittata with red peppers on the side. Very filling and delicious too! The host also let us borrow beach towels and chairs for our first day at the beach. She gave us plenty of information on the beaches and parking. Any question we had, she was super helpful in answering! I could keep going on and on, but you get the idea! We checked out and left with a sweet gift of chocolate covered nuts and fruit!
