Cape Cod perfection!
The view of the bay from our suite was amazing! The decor was so tasteful, and perfect vintage Cape Cod. The bed was very comfy and shower was great, and so was WiFi.

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.

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!

I feel privileged to be able to have a night out with my best friend to celebrate our birthdays in such a wonderful area. This place was perfect. It was beautiful and our room had a giant picture window with the most amazing view of the Wood End lighthouse. The only thing that caught me off guard was the parking. Had I known, I would have planned better (I thought I was all set but had to reserve a spot for $30 a night - and there were none left at the hotel so we had to park at the rotary). Other than that, the place was great!

Great location for July 4th celebrations, quieter but still very convenient. Very New England feel so buildings are a little old. Everything went well overall despite staying in their hotel room with no attached bathroom--the bathroom was just a couple of doors down, and I don't think anyone else used it during my stay despite my hotel building seeming to be at full occupancy. Room was larger even than expected, especially for one person--it would have been pretty small for 2 people though (full bed). Communication with staff was polite when there was a small issue, but it was a little more bare than expected in terms of details provided.

Our unit’s kitchen was extremely dated and though I didn’t intend to spend much time watching tv, I still would have preferred not watching shows on something so unbelievably small (maybe 38 inches in diameter) in such a large living room - with a SPECTACULAR view of the water - but also a large living room devoid of a coffee table, which I did actually find annoying. But those are easily overlooked by the value, charm and view in this very pleasant cottage which my GF and I both liked very much

Cute spot. We were to talk for the doorways in the up stairs cottage room facing commercial street. Smacked my head really hard like 3 times, they are smaller doorways. It was big tho, and the window overlooking the ocean was beautiful in the mornings. Bed was a full, so two 6 foot plus dudes didn’t fit great and it leaked thru the window above it (it was down pouring so hopefully doesn’t do that all the time). I wouldn’t stay in that specific room again but I’d be willing to try another room. All in all it was fine.

Masthead Resort Summer Stay
No ADA parking available. They didn’t tell us there was a $30 charge for parking during the summer until we booked and wouldn’t waive the fee when we mentioned our handicap placard and ADA needs. After this discussion they did not talk about any amenities, only brought us to our room.
The room was cute and had a wonderful view. It did look like the top sheet had been taken right out of its packaging without being washed. It still has the creases. There was hair on the bathroom walls and the book shelf area that you walked through was incredibly dusty.
I would like to commemorate the cleaning staff though because my partner lost the rubber non-slip end to her walking stick and the staff picked it up and kept it until they saw her.
