Lovely ocean front. Beaches & views were amazing, just what we thought Cape Cod was like in our minds. Restaurant, bar, beach chairs, umbrellas, shuffle board and a host of other amenities.

We got there a bit early, had to wait beyond the 3pm check in, but the hosts were very gracious and provided us breakfast for two days for the inconvenience. The grounds, the properties on them are so quaint and well appointed, very comfortable stay.

We were here for a wedding and it was the perfect location! Ocean views/walks, swimming pool enclosed with a plastic wall to block the wind, and our cottage with cute chairs in front for a glass of wine were the highlights.

Incredible. Everything about it. Our cottage was so nice, roomy, clean, just perfect. The staff is amazing. So much todo on the grounds. You can never be bored. Family friendly. Didn't eat in the restaurant, so can't say how it is, but it looked amazing. Short drive to many stores and restaurants.

Our second year visiting and it won’t be our last. Beach is very peaceful and while it is small it is never crowded. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are always available. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and it was surprisingly good. The setting on the lawn overlooking the ocean was perfect.

Beautiful setting and grounds. Although friendly, the front desk workers were not very helpful. We did not want a formal breakfast and they advertised coffee availability 24-7, but the urn of coffee was empty and we had a hard time getting it refilled and no one seemed to care.

For me, the people working at a place really make or break it for me. And in the case of the Lighthouse Inn, they really made it for me. Being greeted by Jane and then later having a chance to speak to Mary Beth at the front desk… Both women could not have been kinder or more helpful. We also really enjoyed meeting and talking with Theo, who was quite a character and kept us entertained! The rooms were clean and the housekeeping was spectacular. Everything was fabulous.

Plus: incredibly friendly waiting staff, georgeous beach, the entertaining piano man, all the surroundings, the outside deck for breakfast and dinner, personally adapted beach yoga for a good start into the day
Minus: grumpy restaurant management, smell of rotting seaweed from one of the beaches

The staff were so warm and friendly. The GM helped my daughter crack her lobster because it was her first time having it. They took a picture and put it on their website and social media. The heated pool was my favorite. The beach did have a lot of seaweed but that happens in a lot of places sometimes. We just walked a way down the adjacent public beach to a less weedy area. I highly recommend this place!

My husband and I were there for a wedding! Our room was a stand alone little cottage, just one bedroom with a queen size bed, and a nice size bathroom. I suggest the bathroom should have some hooks near the shower so we can hang the towels, as well as a little table/cart for placing our toiletries, since the sink is a pedestal style with no counter space. Breakfast was ok, nothing special, but your typical, simple breakfast. The grounds are beautiful, with a view of the ocean! The staff is friendly and welcoming!
The wedding party was held at the premises. It was at the afternoon followed by a beautiful sunset! The food was great and so were the drinks. We had a very nice weekend at the Lighthouse Inn!!!

The beds are very comfortable, the AC works great, and the showers are nice and j
Hot. What more can you ask for in a long weelend stay. The pool is at perfect temperature and property is well.kept.
The loft setup is a bit odd. There is a living area and then individual suites off main living area. There was no.one in the other suites so iy worled out great but it could pptentiallu get very noisy if fully occupied.
