We are just returning from a 3-nights stay during the Memorial Day weekend and had a nice experience until 5 minutes before check-out. The good: fantastic location, right on beach. The decor is old and charming classic cape cod. Rooms are exactly what you see on website. One of the inn-keepers, Doug, was extremely welcoming. The bad: room service is... More

We stayed for two nights with our family and it was a wonderful experience. The Inn is beautiful and a great location. We stayed in rooms 10, 11, and 12. All of us loved our rooms. We enjoyed walking on the beach and collecting shells. Our 8 year old learned so much from Doug. He also shared some of the... More

Room #5, excellent Sea View and sound of the Surf at night. Great Breakfast. Used pool at sister property, beautiful pool and grounds, very refreshing. Only downfall at this property was that you could hear your neighbors tv and kids in the hallway. I think at a bed and breakfast of this quality and price, it should be Adults Only... More

Truthfully I rarely watch TV but when I travel I do like to catch the weather to plan my time. There are some people that have that favorite weekly show that they have to watch no matter what, or that special sports event (Olympics, Play off games, and of course the Red Sox (some of you, the Yankees)) We want...

This beach resort is so picturesque and exceptionally clean. This was our third return trip there and it won't be our last. We invited others to join us there. They loved it and said they will definitely return. The beach is so pleasant @ the Winstead Beach Resort and I love being able to step off the veranda right onto... More

Thanks for your kind words; that fireplace is so nice, especially after a long walk on the beach. Nothing like the warmth of the fire while watching the sun set. More

I love this place with it's ocean views, comfortable rooms, and great places to sit in the living room around the fire. Room #2 with it's views of the water and dunes to the southwest has been my "home away from home" all of those years. I love the walks on the beach, the hammocks, the blue rocking chairs on... More

While my wife and I are very familiar with the Harwich Port area from previous vacations, this was our first stay at the Winstead Beach Resort. May I say, our two day late October experience was as good as it gets. First, we carefully previewed the rooms on the Winstead web site, and what we were looking for was a... More

Thanks so much Danny. Room #8 is special; I wish we had 14 of them but there are many others with great views. I do like our beach too; I guess that is why I walk it every day and am still not tired of it. More

We spent three nights at the Winstead Beach Resort over Columbus Day weekend. It was absolutely perfect. The Inn and its employees were wonderful, and being right on the beach was nothing short of marvelous. The weather was more than cooperative, we evan swam along with taking long walks on the beach in our bearfeet and shorts. We loved our... More

The Winstead Beach Resort is the most well kept, clean (spotless actually), quaint place I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Everyone was so wonderful and the location was fabulous! I had the opportunity to chat with the owners and staff whilst ironing some items in the kitchen on Friday evening before attending a wedding...and watched them whip up a... More

The Winstead Beach Resort is clean, beautifully decorated, and staffed with pleasant, helpful people. The Continental Breakfast includes fresh fruit, homemade muffins and breads, cereal, yogurt, english muffins, etc. which you can eat in the lovely dining area or outside on the porch facing the ocean. There is a two mile stretch of beach that is a joy to walk... More

I have to caveat up front that the reason I gave this a 3 rating is not because of the property itself, but because of its beach and where its location. We stayed at the Beach Resort not the Inn - be careful, there are 2 properties, one is by the beach the other is not at all. So, I'm... More

Nantucket Sound is a living ecosystem with all of its life forms. Unfortunately hurricanes happen, and with a direct hit from the south we received all of its fury. The aftermath cleanup did not happen over night. We do detail our beach daily so our stretch of beach was quickly back to its beautiful self. Unfortunately we can not rake... More
