Owners are burned out. They lack compassion for their guests and it shows. There are places yoi can stay with that treat your business like a relationship not a transaction.

Leah,When you reserve a room it is often from a category. Rooms are either first or second floor as the site says.We tried to offer you an upgrade but you wanted a certain room that was already occupied and you would accept nothing else for memory sake. We tried to accommodate but you would not hear of it. Next time call us ahead of time.. We cannot read minds.

This is my second stay at the beach resort. Both times were remarkable… The staff is very friendly and willing to help. Checking in is easy, although it is not on the premises. They make it clear and direct you where to go, however. The views from the Inn are breathtaking and most of the Inn is oceanfront. It’s on an extended beautiful beach -Easily accessible to all of the shops and restaurants – a definite stay if you are in the Harwichport area. 5 stars! Oh, and they do provide a very nice breakfast in the morning. The coffee was delicious!!

Thank you so much Richard. Once you arrive at the Beach Resort you are on the beach and a short stroll to all of the dining options. We do prefer that the large trucks are left at home, but everyone does have a parking space

Overall not worth the high price tag. Dated rooms, very average amenities. Biggest disappointment was no internet; the WiFi is gated by Facebook and if you’re not a Facebook member (and we are not) then you are offline. What’s more frustrating is there is no cell service in the area. WiFi is an absolute MUST in todays world and for a property charging this much money to only offer the poor system it has is really unacceptable.

It is to bad that when you have an issue that you don't speak up. After the fact doesn't help you. Below the Facebook icon there is one to opt out. We have the best system offered in our area. All of our rooms are different. I guess 200 year old antiques are considered dated to some.

More like B&B than Hotel
Property is more like a B&B than a hotel. Our room is a little small for the queen bed and the twin bed. Because the room's window is on the side of the house, there is just a glimpse of the advertised "ocean view". However, there is a full view and access of the beach and the ocean from the breakfast/living area at the rear of the house. We also enjoyed the breakfast with fresh fruit cup, variety of baked goods and quiche on request. Overall, it is a relaxing two night stay for us.

We stayed 2 nights at the resort on the beach and 1 night at the Inn in town. Both were incredible in their own ways. Private beach at one and beautiful at the other. Loved both places and can’t wait to return to both!!! Staff was incredible.

I loved the property. I was not impressed with the staff checking you in and the staff person meeting you at the property. There were 3 of us renting a room with 2 cars and they insisted that the 2nd car park a 1/4 mile away. We came out at 5:00 am and there were 2 parking spaces open. For what we paid they should have been friendly and accommodationg!! Will not come back!!!

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We are glad you loved the property. We think it's a special spot. We strive for each guest experience to be 5/5, so we are sorry to hear you were disappointed with the check-in experience. We provide one parking spot for each room and offer suggestions for alternate parking for any additional cars. Guests can usually park an extra car at the Bank Street Beach, so long as it is moved before 9:00 AM. We apologize that you found it inconvenient to park your extra car a 1/4 mile away.

Being right on the beach is ideal. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Short walk to town. Very close to some amazing restaurants. A bit difficult connecting to the internet which also disconnected from time to time.

If you are looking for a spot right on the beach, then the Winstead is the place. Our room was on the first floor and it was clean and descent size. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Their porch and outside dining area are an added bonus.

Disappointing
Firstly they could have informed us in advance that check in is at the inn on Parallel Street rather than at the beach resort. Secondly our room is old and dirty. The whole property needs a renovation. One good thing is that it has its own sliver of beach. I will not be staying here in the future.

For future guests please do read at-least one of the emails we send you or at-very-least the 'At a glance' section you reserve your room from. Remember all of our rooms are different styles and from different eras.

Super endroit! Tres propre. Magnifique vue! Bon dejeuner. Le seul probleme est l'insonorisation des chambres. On entend tout dans les autres chambres et dans le corridor. J'avais l'impression qu'un autre monsieur dormait avec nous. On l'a entendu ronfler toute la nuit. Haha 😅Sinon tout est parfait!
