The Masthead is the perfect combination of authentic old New England with modern service and finishes. We felt so at home and would have moved right in if we could have! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you so much Masthead!

Hotel's Favourite
Dreamy quiet place to do our writers retreat. The location on the beach which you can walk forever during low tide. The sunrises and sunsets magnificent. It pure local cape cod like you can't get in the boxy hotels. Perfect cape cod decor and great staff. We love to go especially in winter because it's so perfect for writing and light is perfect for art. Staff is helpful and kind. Great clean accommodations.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to returning. We stayed in one of the waterfront suites and the room was spacious, cozy and had an amazing view of the water. We enjoyed having our morning coffee and looking out onto the bay. The property was very quiet although there were several other guests there at the time. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchenette had good quality appliances including a coffee maker, toaster and microwave. We received text messages from the office regarding our stay and were able to text if we needed anything. Overall, a wonderful, restful experience!

Place is spotless, and we really appreciate this. You cannot beat the view, direct ocean on two sides! However, the beds are very uncomfortable and the huge easy chair in the living room is broken so you can’t use it. It should be removed because it takes up so much space also leave more dishwashing supplies, like sponges and scrubby.Need more blankets.

Hello, Thank you for your review and bringing this to our attention. We have immediately removed the huge chair and replaced it for a more comfortable one. We are also happy to hear you loved the view and the location. Masthead is unique not only for their private and peaceful beach but also because is only minutes away from the heart of town. We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the near future! Thank you.

We went for a weekend getaway off-season. Cottage was perfect - clean, well-appointed, parking was easy, and ideal view. Too chilly to walk into town but easy enough to get around. Staff communicated quickly over text and answered all our questions. Loved our brief stay and will be back.

It was foggy and rainy for most of our trip but we still had a great time at the Masthead. The room was comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. I loved being so close to the water and it was just a short walk to town. I highly recommend this place.

We rented a cottage with two bed two bath and it was amazing. A quiet port in the storm of fun insanity of p-town. The location is amazing. Still accessible to everything but at the end where it quiets down a bit. The staff were extremely friendly. Owned and operated by local family. We looked at quite a few places but we wanted something nice so we splurged on this cottage. No regrets.

My husband and I spent the month of November, 2023 at the Masthead Resort in Provincetown. Our stay was perfection personified. The cottage was spacious with lovely panoramic views of the Masthead’s beautiful grounds, the beach, the town and the bay. It was fully equipped for cooking, offered a large living room, a dining area, 2 bedrooms, one full bathroom and a half bath. There was also a private front porch where we spent a lot of time relaxing looking at the water and listening to its calming sounds. The staff were all very friendly, accommodating and personable. A big thank you to Carlene, Angella, David, Karen, Caran, Sully and Nancy. When we needed anything they readily met our needs. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, John, who welcomed us wholeheartedly. This was our third visit to Masthead and we are already booked for the next one. It’s a must!

Thanks so much for the raving review! We really appreciate your feedback! Your return and length of stay speaks volumes about your experience for new guests so thank you for being one of our loyal costumer. We love to hear that you enjoyed the staff, we will show them this review in our next staff meeting. We are also happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful view and the location, as we think it's the best spot in the region. You can witness some of the most captivating light on the planet! Did you know, the Masthead building at 37 Commercial Street has a rare blue and white plaque with a picture of a home floating on a raft. Known as a “floater home”, this historical plaque indicates this building and about 30 others in the West End of Provincetown were originally a residence of the Long Point in the early 1800’s, the outer beach peninsula across the harbor. Home to more than 200 residents on Long Point, there was a school, a post office, a bakery and a lighthouse. The biggest appeal was its proximity to abundant fishing grounds. However in 1850, after assessing the many challenging facets of living on the outer beach, mainly the challenges of being so isolated and remote, susceptible to storms and high tides, residents decided to move the homes. They literally raised and placed them on rafts and floated them across the harbor to their current locations. Just some info / history on our location!

In late July 2023, we returned from yet another exquisite week-long stay at The Masthead - specifically in Suite 39B, a waterfront suite that has become our personal favorite. This was our third visit to this particular unit over the past three years, and each time, it's like stepping into a dream. The Masthead, nestled in Provincetown's serene West End, boasts a unique blend of classic Cape Cod charm & modern comfort. The resort's 450-foot private beach, complete with a sundeck, offers an exclusive slice of seaside bliss. Waking up to the soothing sounds of the bay & enjoying tranquil evenings watching the the sea & the shifting lights at sunset over the harbor is simply magical. We love our spacious, beautifully appointed 39B. To our delight, this year we discovered newly renovated features in the suite, including contemporary updates to the kitchen as well as sleek updates to the bathroom (the shower is now double its former size!) This enhanced our experience significantly. The Masthead is not just about the views & the suites, however… it’s about the entire experience. The beautifully landscaped grounds create a peaceful oasis, and it’s a great joy to see how well they’re cared for by the attentive staff. Speaking of which, the staff are almost the best part of the Masthead experience! The Ciluzzi Family & their staff have mastered the art of hospitality, and they work hard to ensure all guests have a relaxing & enjoyable experience. Moreover, the other guests we’ve met during our stays seem to be kindred spirits, and this also contributes to the easy-going & laid-back nature of the place. To us, the Masthead is not just a place to stay; it's a place to be immersed in the tranquil beauty of Cape Cod. We highly recommend The Masthead to anyone seeking a serene, luxurious waterfront escape in Provincetown. We're already looking forward to our (fourth!) stay in the summer of 2024!
