Amazing location! Beach access so easeful and the beach was beautiful. The beach chairs are comfortable and beach towels were nice and big. To have a shower in the little light house by the beach is so much fun. The restaurant food is delicious and the view from the terrasse is stunning.

Loved the proximity to the public beach. Loved being able to order food and drinks from the outdoor bar or right from the pool area, though I the pool area and amenities were cleaner and they often didn’t have towels. That said, we loved and even extended our stay an extra night.

Overall very pleased with the ease of checking in and finding our cottage. For a place right on the beach I expected it to be a bit stuffy but everything was easygoing and inviting. The property happens to have an entire population of eastern cottontail rabbits that add to the relaxed rustic vibe. The Inn, much like the rest of the Cape is oozing with a charm lost to most of modern civilization decades ago. Strongly recommend for the extremely close proximity to the ocean and easy, comfortable accommodations.

The resort was very nice and the Meridian restaurant was the star attraction. Bartenders were great and the food delicious. The property was pretty well maintained. We didn’t use the pool but it seemed large enough for the amount of people using it. The beach was very nice and the small Jetty’s kept the waves down. We stayed in one of the upstairs lodges. It was dated with not many outlets, but comfortable enough room for 3 adults. We did not have breakfast there, but I can imagine it’s probably very good. There is a restaurant called the Sand Bar a short walk away that has great lobster rolls and local musicians. Great place!

We LOVED our stay at the Lighthouse Inn! It was cute, clean, and friendly. My only request is that the put- put golf and shuffle board areas need to have the equipment better cared for and/ or replaced. There were only 2 golf balls and the golf clubs were all child size and broken. Half of the pucks for shuffle board did not have the inner weight so we're not usable. Despite this, we will definitely be returning to enjoy this beautiful resort! I highly recommend!

The property was very nice. Everything was nice and the beach was beautiful. Anything needed was right at the resort so no need to leave for essentials. I wasn’t quite sure when the cleaning crew were going to show up so it was a little inconvenient. They did check a couple of times to see if I needed any services. Checking in and out was easy and quick. The staff was very helpful. All in all it was a very nice stay. I would definitely recommend to friends and families. Next visit I would ask for a closer guest room to the Inn and beach as I am on disability and my room had a very narrow flight of stairs that I was not aware of. I would also prefer to know where I would be staying as I did not know until check in. It was a great vacation.

The accommodations were beyond “tired”, they were in desperate need of a gut renovation! The beach was unusable - and it was vacant - because seaweed had taken over. Grooming the beach should be automatic. Very very disappointing. I understand that the property was recently purchased and will be totally redone. It is unfortunate that the Lighthouse Inn was not realistic/honest about the quality of the property and its amenities. The staff was pleasant.

I was immediately charmed by the property as soon as we drove into the parking lot. I regret not getting the names of every staffer I encountered cause each one was so kind. Upon check-in, the receptionist was so friendly and gave me a mini tour and got me so excited for the amenities. The housekeeper and I had a wonderful chat and expressed excitement at me wanting to stay next year. My kids were in love with the property, especially the playground. Location was central to so many things even though you didn’t need to leave the resort. This place does not have enough hype. Food was incredible, I do wish I didn’t have to pay for water as the only other option was drinking from bathroom tap. We stayed in a cottage which was spacious enough for two adults and twin toddlers. The views were immaculate and the vibes were friendly. Will come back again and again.
