    I went on the Nauset Marsh High Tide tour with my sister yesterday and we had a great time! We…read morechose this location because it was advertised as being one of his easier paddles, and since we have only been kayaking a couple times (and it's 3 hours) we didn't want to get in over our heads. Johnathan was very very knowledgeable about the area and Cape Cod in general, was able to answer all of my questions about the marsh, and provide interesting talking points and tidbits. We saw several types of wildlife: blue herring, horseshoe crabs, other crabs, clams, egrets, and even a seal in the distance. The paddling itself was not bad at all on this tour; it was very easy to keep up and would be fine for adults of pretty much any activity level, even quasi couch-potato ....your arms will just be a little sore the next morning if you don't really ever use them...like me :) The online booking feature is a real win in my opinion because you can see all the options available at one glance. This is a feature that seemed to be lacking in other Kayaking businesses in the area. My sister commented that she enjoyed this even more than she though she was going to. I will definitely go back again with my husband and do another tour sometime soon.

    What an amazing kayaking trip! Gorgeous and peaceful paddling through the marsh. Beautiful…read morescenery, close up encounters with seals, herons and seagulls. Best part was how much we learned from our awesome guide Jonathan, who seems to know about everything from seals and shipwrecks to tidal patterns and costal geology. Can't recommend highly enough!

Cape Cod is one of the most visited areas in the country and once you visit you will understand why. You can expect tranquility and phenomenal views of a pristine barrier beach and vibrant salt marshes. The sounds of the reeds blowing in the wind is nothing less than paradise and the pine woodlands are a birders delight. They also have an award-winning, economically friendly nature center with wildlife views, aquariums and educational exhibits. The sanctuary offers many programs for all ages based on research and conservation projects focusing on ecologically threatened birds, horseshoe crabs, and sea turtles. When you visit Memorial Day through Labor Day, the trails are open from 8am-dusk. Early October to late May- they're closed on Mondays, but Tues-Saturday you can visit 8:30am-5:00pm. For non-Audubon members it is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors and $3 for the little ones (ages 2-12). EBT participants are free for up to 4 people when you show your card. This is such a wonderful experience and an educational goldmine for any age! Go. Just go... and that folks is all she wrote.

Well kept, clean room, with cozy beds. Microwave, Mini Frig, T.V with Cable. Small coffee pot set up. A desk, table 2 chairs. Hangers and luggage rack. There is a great Pool which is a big perk. Unfortunately, this year was to cold to swim. We had swam last year and it was great! There is a Supermarket across the street and the beach not far at all. The motel provides an informative binder. The town center is actually within walking distance for most people about 1/4 to 1/2 miles away. Becareful though, the road in front of the property, at the traffic lights gets very busy. We witnessed a bad car accident while waiting to cross the street, the 1st year. A Continental Breakfast with delicious homemade muffins is served every morning. To be totally transparent and give a 100% honest review these next things were a few minor issues that only happened our last visit. The water pressure in the shower was very slow. No shower liner, (not the problem) the fabric curtian got soaking wet and wet the whole floor, causing a slipping hazzard. The soap and shampoo/conditioners weren't filled. We were supposed to be given a second key that was never dropped off. Had the T.V. shut off at about 10pm while we were watching, out of nowhere. I called the office to let the staff know and got a NOT my problem response, that I wasn't excepting. This year we had tried to book 2 days again, but only one was available. We decide to take the 1 night and pay more then we would have elsewhere. No sure about next year.

    They charged $32.50 to park (2 summers ago it was $20) and no services were open. Not even a trash…read morecan. Don't waste your money!

    My family and I attended a wedding at Ocean Edge Resort. I will start with the wedding was…read morebeautiful on the beach, regardless of the weather. It rained on and off all day and when it came time for the wedding, we were uncertain if the wedding would take place on the beach or in doors. The shuttle driver was also not sure (wouldn't the resort notify the drivers if the wedding was moved)? They apparently did not (especially since it was raining) and we were dropped off at the registration desk, until we knew for sure if we should go to the beach for the ceremony. We made it to the beach eventually and the drizzle continued, but we stopped at the beach bar for a cocktail before the wedding took place---The beach bar was fun before we were told to go to the beach for the ceremony, (which did take place on the beach)---- and it was absolutely beautiful!!! . The reception was also beautiful and the food was great at the reception. The wedding experience was absolutely wonderful and we are so happy for the bride and groom--that the wedding day was as they planned!! I am going to write another review about the accommodations, since I would like to separate the wedding experience (which was wonderful) from the accommodations! Looks like I can only write one review, so I would like to continue with the accommodations..... We reserved the accommodations well in advance of the wedding and found the the 'wedding rates' were a bit steep (wedding rates very high) and the stay could not be less than 3 nights, no problem, we were able to see family members from all over the country early. My adult children were attending from other areas of the country, as well, but they did not plan to be there for more than one or two nights, so what was their option (very high priced other rooms, if that was even an option)? Stay with their parents was the solution, so we had 4 adults in one of the village accommodations. We made it work, but it was difficult. Why would you not offer rooms for less than 3 nights for a wedding? This was not a vacation for all of us and three night stay is more than most of needed to be there for a wedding we wanted to attend. We checked in and were very surprised that the facilities extended for miles. Our accommodations were NOT close to any of the festivities, nor were we close to the beach or pools (we were in Britterige Villages). There was a pool close to where we stayed, but we were informed this pool was for members ONLY. A place to eat near us was for members only, as well (that was not clearly stated). While we were led to believe that there is a 'shuttle' to get us around, the shuttle experience was not what we expected. There were no regular shuttles scheduled, you needed to call for a shuttle when needed. Shuttles were not always available. I heard some couples were very late to scheduled wedding events due to lack of shuttle drivers. On the day of the wedding, our driver told us that they were not prepared to get everyone to where they needed to be . Many of our family needed to drive to the events (thankfully some had cars). As for the accommodations, someone in another review suggested that the walls were paper thin and I certainly can confirm that. The family in the next room seemed to include a baby and a toddler that we heard loud and clear each morning (crying and screaming). My time away is precious and I certainly could not sleep with this noise. As an older adult, I also found that the accommodations were not conducive to older people. Stairs to get into the unit (from the parking lot) and out of the units did not work form me (lots of stairs that are not included in your material). Maybe we missed handicapped option in the villages when we booked, yet we are not handicapped, it was still a lot.....for an older adult. Last but not least, I would like to say that any employee we encountered on the property were lovely, respectful and accommodating. In addition, a place to get coffee on site (close to my room) would be so appreciated, since after two cups of coffee in my room, the kuerig stopped working! Again, this was about the wedding we attended, which was wonderful, but the accommodations could have been better ( and cheaper) and the proximity to all amenities should be spelled out. Nothing was close to the villages. One really needs a car to get to a pool or to the beach, shuttles are not reliable, or so it seems. Since it was not a particularly good pool or beach weekend, I may be more silent about this, but I did need a car to get to the beach( just to see it), and would most likely have needed a car to get to the closest pool (not for members only)

    This was possibly the worst hotel stay experience I've had in all my 35 years of life. We checked…read morein to "Arbor Village" I believe was the name and had to take a shuttle it was so far away from main hotel grounds. Upon arrival of the "hotel room" - I use this loosely as it was essentially section 8 housing. We were greeted with a dirty apartment, a large wad of black tangled hair on the bathroom wall, a large wad of seemingly dog / animal hair in the foyer, a loud door in the foyer that slammed loudly and shook the apartment unit upon opening, and a musty smell that I can only assume was mold. Of course, I immediately requested to switch rooms to the main hotel grounds. We checked into an actual hotel room that was clean and normal. The breakfast, beach bar and ocean terrace were all fine experiences. The beach is the reason we return to this hotel property and did not disappoint ... until my husband was assaulted by another hotel guest's child, left unattended, on the beach. We were sitting on the beach when a child threw a large rock the size of my palm right at my unassuming husband's face. The child's parents did nothing. I immediately jumped up to attend to my husband and walk him back to our hotel room to ice his face. After he was situated, I explained the scenario to the concierge and a manager who was walking by. They took down my number and told me they'd reach out after corresponding with the hotel beach bar manager. I never heard back from anyone. Upon check out the next day, I followed up only to be left waiting in the lobby for 30+ minutes and then accosted by the hotel room booking manager. He was dismissive, haughty, rude, condescending, inappropriate, unprofessional and misogynistic. He said, "You should've contacted the police" "I don't know what you want me to do" "What do you want to get from this" when I simply asked him what hotel protocol or recourse would be as this was a hotel guest assaulting another hotel guest on hotel property. My husband's glasses were broken and he was bleeding. They did nothing to correct the situation, apologize or help. I would never stay here again and I am so disappointed as I was excited to show my husband the hotel that my late father, mother and I would return to each summer in my childhood.
