Escape the Cape just opened. 3, 4, 5 & 6 night avail. in June&Aug.1.5
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (10)
"Many home amenities we didn't even use. The rain kept our group from using lovely porches and backyard, but the location gave us easy walking access to restaurants, trolley and the beach. So we also hardly used the kitchen amenities or beautiful dining room with 12 chairs. Krysten was quick to respond to our questions....yes, you need to bring bed and bath linens, for example. Both parlors are large enough for our group of 8 to gather in one to discuss plans. Highly recommend."

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (79)
"Our stay was great. The location is perfect, right in the heart of things and easy walking to just about everything. The view was awesome. The mattresses were lumpy and could use replacing but the room was clean. The inside of the building has charm out the wazoo. When there wasn't a group of smokers on it, the front porch was so relaxing to sit on a rocking chair, sip a drink and watch the sights. The staff was always friendly and polite. We would stay there again."
