Amazing stay from start to finish! Every unit has a great view of the ocean and you are just steps away from Nauset Beach! We started each day with the complimentary continental breakfast and hot coffee while watching the beautiful sunrise over Nauset Beach! On the grounds is a huge gas firepit, cornhole, gas grill and more! You really feel like you are on "vacation" at the Nauset Beach Inn! The owner and staff were very helpful and easily accessible! location location location! We will be going back!

This was such a remarkable find! I surprised my husband with a stay here for his birthday. We LOVED the big window overlooking the bunny strewn lawn to the ocean beyond. The room was clean, and comfortable and the little stove was awesome. What a pretty and quiet location - It was the perfect getaway for my husband and me - and baby! We will be back

Wonderful spot for a quick winter get away. Love the self check in with keys left in mailbox. Great communication via email prior to arrival. The owner was lovely and came by to welcome us after we checked in. Arrived on a freezing cold day to a wonderfully warm room with the stove going. Very clean room with plenty of hot water. Relaxing ocean view. It was so quiet at night in the off season, which was great! Liked the mini fridge and microwave, as we had brought our dinner to heat up. Would stay again!

The Nauset Beach Inn is one of the few remaining slices of old Cape Cod still accessible today. The hosts and staff are wonderful - extremely helpful without being obtrusive. Fellow guests are some of the nicest people you will ever meet - it's as if once you're there, not only are you one of the "family", but you're now in on the secret.

Went off season and was not disappointed at all. Crisp morning air with a fire pit who can argue against that. Clean rooms very efficient gas fireplaces in the rooms. Highly recommend

Our wedding at the Nauset Beach Inn was nothing short of perfection. Perched on a bluff overlooking the ocean, it offers the most breathtaking, unobstructed views of Nauset Beach. The property layout made it easy to host everything in one place - ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - all while keeping that intimate beach feel. Liz, the Property Manager, was incredibly responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in helping us create the day we envisioned. She went above and beyond every step of the way - offering suggestions, answering endless questions, and making sure everything ran smoothly on the big day. Nauset Beach Inn is truly a hidden gem and we couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else on the Cape.

I loved having an ocean view from the window and easy access to the beach. I think it would be nice if there is was a path across the front so you are not walking through the grass. It was wet for both days I was there so I ended up with wet feet/shoes and a wet floor inside. The AC did not work in my room but it was cool enough to have the windows open.
