The Winstead Inn♡

A wonderful experience at Cape Cod

10.0

A wonderful experience in Cape Cod! We stayed in the Bow Sprit Suite, which was perfect for a family of 4 with teen daughters. The morning breakfast was delightful, and the staff were friendly and kept everything very clean. I appreciated the attention to detail. I also liked being able to use the private beach at the other facility. Highly recommend!

Perfection!!!

EVERYTHING!!! The properties are incredible with stunning views, pool and beach house - the rooms are spacious and gorgeous - with an enormous amount of storage, beautifully furnished (solid wood, wonderful art hugging the walls). The staff is amazing, always super helpful, with genuine smiles, truly remarkable people. The breakfast options in the morning are super generous, including: warm homemade muffins (changing daily in flavor), banana bread, and mini croissants (also varying in flavor daily), yogurt (several options available), fresh fruit cups (at least 5-6 fruit varieties included and cut up in bite size), bagels, English muffins, boiled eggs, condiments, cereal (few varieties), milk, juice (2 options), coffee, tea, and quiche. They even serve warm cookies and fresh lemonade in the afternoon. Both properties are extremely clean, plenty of beach towels available at all times. Winstead Inn is treat and feels like being in paradise!

− Not staying long enough…

Disappointing

2.0

− Our stay at this resort was, unfortunately, far from relaxing. We encountered several issues that really impacted our experience. First and most unsettling—there were ants in our room. One even crawled across my daughter’s face at 3am, waking her up in a panic. On top of that, when we turned down the beds, we found a long hair in one of them—definitely not what you expect when arriving at a “resort.” The pool was another disappointment. It was noticeably dirty, and while we were hoping for some family time in the morning, there’s an “adults only” swim from 8–10am. The kicker? The pool was completely empty during that entire time, which felt like such a waste. Another heads-up for future guests: the resort has two separate locations. If you don’t book a beachfront room, you’re restricted from parking near the beach except during limited hours. This was inconvenient and felt misleading. Overall, this was a very disappointing stay for our family. I rarely leave negative reviews, but in this case, I would not return and wouldn’t recommend it to others—especially families with young kids.

Simple and cozy

Very cozy place with spacious and comfortable rooms! Everything was generally easy to navigate and figure out.

− The breakfast was a bit disappointing, we were certainly expecting something a bit more thoughtful than a simple cold breakfast.
