The rooms were beautifully updated and exceeded our expectations. The property itself is still a work in progress, with ongoing painting and exterior renovations. Once the cabins and surrounding grounds are fully refreshed, I believe this inn will become exactly what it’s striving to be—a charming, classic Cape Cod-style retreat with four- or even five-star appeal.

Beautiful location. Main building with restaurant and bar has great character. Note, it was just remodeled and restaurant opens next week. Our one king size bed cottage was spacious and had a sitting deck with an ocean view. Price was reasonable for the experience. Highly recommend!

Rather than having a $28 Buffet for breakfast there should be some other options The beach had a lot of seaweed, and they were trying to remove it, which stirred up all the gnats so we had to go to another beach

We had a great time a Lighthouse Inn! The rooms were clean, but a little wet after the torrential rain that we had. The staff was very helpful, they walked my card back to my room when I left it at the restaurant, which was fantastic. You can't beat the view of the water, the ability to take a walk without being on the road, and the convenience of good and enjoyable food and drinks without leaving the grounds. Aiden at the front desk is fantastic, as well as Gio at the Meridian restaurant, and there are many other great workers as well. We learned that they are in a bit of a transition with a new crew, the restaurant is new also, but they are phenomenal. Hands down a great experience, family friendly, quiet, great beach access, close to other places on the Cape. Definitely worth the stay!

Nice facility although a bit dated. Wonderful location right next to West Dennis Beach so a great beach expanse for walking. Breakfast buffet rather steeply priced at $35, but the Good Friends Cafe (0.6mi walk) was a fabulous alternative. Room would benefit from light darkening shades as the 6am-it-must-be-later awaking a bit surprising. But it is priced substantially below other hotels in the area, so a trade-off.

It is my go to place in Cape for several years. I love its location the most. it was about time to renovate this coastal gem and they were doing great job. But I didn't appreciate several design choices., i.e like pool chairs can not lay flat which is difficult to have tan back and forth. All those years breakfast was included, but this year I was surprised that it wasn't included. Still it is great place if you want to stay put and not drive to go to beach. Amazing Cape restaurants nearby.

They didn't have the room available at check-in; staff seemed a bit disheveled. Bathroom wasn't cleaned thoroughly due to rushing it looked like. They could have cleaned the seaweed on the beach at the resort; it was all over the beach and in the shoreline water.

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.
