Ever wish you had a relative with a house on the beach? This is the next best thing! Helen and Niño make you feel at home, have wonderful stories to tell, incredible cookies and cakes always available.

We stayed at the B&B for a 3 night stay. It was right on the ocean. But you could not swim in the ocean because of the heavy seaweeds. Which we were very disappointed. Considering when making the reservation I asked how was the ocean in front of the B&B and was told it was perfect for swimming. That was... More

We traveled back in August. This was our first trip to the cape and to a bed a breakfast...we were not disappointed!! We were greeted upon our arrival by Marie and Helen and soon met Collette ( I wanted to bring her home with us)... The ladies made us feel right at home. Our room was ready for us when... More

Our first time at a B&B and it was great. Would go back! My mom recommended after her stay a few years ago and it lived up to all her raves. Clean, yummy treats, great breakfast, nice private beach, lots of tips from the owner. Will be back!

Everything was lovely... the personal and friendly service, the cleanliness, great homemade breakfasts with an ocean view, private beach and all chairs/blankets/umbrellas supplied, rooms with ocean view were a real treat. Appreciated the 24/7 use of the shared living room as well as the kitchen... with free coffee, lemonade, sweet treats and fruits. Felt very at home and relaxed, views... More

First, the owner Helen is VERY nice and offered great info on local eateries, things to do etc... The location by the beach is excellent though the beaches in this part of the cape aren't as nice as further northeast toward Nauset. We wanted to stay ON the beach and though the suite we rented was not directly on the... More

This was our first visit here and WHAT A FIND!! We will return. The owners and staff are the most delightful and funny folks you will ever meet in the inn business. They knew it was our anniversary so they had champagne and chocolates in our room when we arrived. They take care of every detail and go out of... More

Reading the comments from the guests on the site makes me think that the Inn has to seriously revamp the room we were staying in (Nicholas 1A). There were lots of problems with our room that ruined our stay. First of all, the walls are super-thin and we heard everyone leave and enter our suite (and I am sure they... More
