This waterfront property features a main building that houses the lobby, restaurant, and lighthouse, along with several cottages spread across the grounds. Most of the cottages offer at least partial views of the water. While the exteriors appear a bit dated, the interiors are well maintained — especially considering the year-round exposure to salty sea air and harsh winter snow. The staff is exceptionally helpful and a pleasure to interact with. Overall, it’s a classic Cape-style property with a great team that adds to its charm.
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.
This is a beautiful property located on the beach. It really does not het much better than this. The room was nice and spacious and the views were nothing short of exceptional. The staff was wonderful and a shout out to the GM, John, for being very helpful! And of course the sunsets on West Dennis beach are worth the stay!
Perfect location for a peaceful beach getaway conveniently located and away from hustle and bustle of Dennisport. Staff very kind and accommodating. Lovely bar and restaurant. Beautiful sunsets. Great walking and private beach.
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.
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
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.
