9.2/10 Wonderful! (160 reviews)
My husband and I had a wonderful stay during the July 4th week. We stayed in a one bedroom on the second floor. The one bedroom’s have a living room / kitchen area separated from the bedroom. The kitchen area includes a large dining table, an apartment size refrigerator/freezer, a toaster, a coffee maker, and all the kitchen plates, bowls, utensils. The one bedroom’s also included two full bathrooms. And a balcony off the family room and one off of the bedroom.
The bed and pillows were very comfortable (soft, not firm).
The resort also has a community room with a pool table, tv / couch area, and a kitchen area with two stoves/ovens and larger refrigerators.
The resort was full the week we were there, however the rooms are very well insulated as you didn’t hear the other guests. The parking was very convenient as well.
The location of the resort in Yarmouth gave us the ability to easily visit other areas on the Cape as well.
Looking forward to going back to this resort.
Note - this resort is two levels, and only has stairs (no elevator). Not an issue for us, however wanted to note it for anyone with issues with stairs.
