We stayed one night at Masthead Resort in Provincetown and really enjoyed our visit. The location is fantastic—it's within walking distance of everything, making it easy to explore town without needing to drive.

Our room had an incredible ocean view, and while the décor is a bit dated, it actually added to the charm and made us feel like we had stepped back in time, which fit the Cape Cod vibe perfectly. The landscaping and flowers around the property were absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed walking the pier during our stay.

The only downside was the parking. The listing mentions free parking, but the spaces are very limited. We ended up having to park about a five-minute walk away, which cost us $30.

We wish we had stayed longer to enjoy the deck and spend some time on the beach. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we'd definitely consider returning.

It was our 54th wedding anniversary. 1971 we honeymooned in PTown. I was so fortunate and delighted that we choose the Masthead. It was perfect. Beautiful location, clean, comfortable. We had a small unit, but it was perfect. I want to go there again!

Delightful experience, very clean, in the quiet area on the west end so a bit away from 'downtown' but plenty close to walk. Resort has a portion of the beach to itself, you feel at home there, thoughtful cottage like amenities (needs, home tools, broom). I enjoyed not being imposed on as I don't like services and didn't need them. It showed that there was care and real thoughtfulness, had all the basics in decent supply, and encourages green living but doesn't force it.

I was charged $30 to park on site in a reserved parking spot. However, my vehicle didn’t fit in the spot. I additionally had to pay for public parking after driving around the block 2x. Along with that the door didn’t completely lock and I was woken up by construction the next morning. I politely texted the front desk clerk and asked for at least a refund on parking and haven’t heard back from anyone since Monday.

I truly can not say enough what a great spot to escape the rat race of life and enjoy the beautiful scenery, proximity to great restaurants and shops and spend some wonderful quality time together. And I really want to mention what great friendly person at the desk that greeted us and checked us in, her name is Karen!

The Hotel time forgot

Terrible. Management only communicates by text, which they never answer. Checking in was a challenge as the person went missing. Room was musty smelling, bed was very old and dented in the middle - very uncomfortable. Reading material was from the 1980's. The morning we woke up there was no water. No word from management. We checked out asking for a refund. Got Hotels.com involved they were of no help. Trying to get a refund through AMEX as I would say that no service was rendered considering no water. It's a shame as the property has a spectacular view.

The website is not accurate at all. We went expecting cottages and got a small room with a separate shower and bathroom. It wasn’t a shared bathroom but very inconvenient. It’s in a great area but the site also said beach views which it did not have. Overall not awful but the ads are very misleading

It is okay but not great. I didn’t see a single staff member the entire weekend. The shower was tiny but had great water pressure. The bed was comfortable but had no headboard so you couldn’t sit comfortably on it to read or watch tv. There were only two outlets in the room one had the air conditioner plugged into it and the other had the lamp, refrigerator, and coffee maker plugged into it. None were conveniently placed

I feel privileged to be able to have a night out with my best friend to celebrate our birthdays in such a wonderful area. This place was perfect. It was beautiful and our room had a giant picture window with the most amazing view of the Wood End lighthouse. The only thing that caught me off guard was the parking. Had I known, I would have planned better (I thought I was all set but had to reserve a spot for $30 a night - and there were none left at the hotel so we had to park at the rotary). Other than that, the place was great!

Quintessential Cape Cod!

This is a gorgeous property sitting right on Cape Cod Bay with a nice beach that you can walk on for miles and it overlooks the tip of Cape Cod. My experience was exceptional In every way

Great location for July 4th celebrations, quieter but still very convenient. Very New England feel so buildings are a little old. Everything went well overall despite staying in their hotel room with no attached bathroom--the bathroom was just a couple of doors down, and I don't think anyone else used it during my stay despite my hotel building seeming to be at full occupancy. Room was larger even than expected, especially for one person--it would have been pretty small for 2 people though (full bed). Communication with staff was polite when there was a small issue, but it was a little more bare than expected in terms of details provided.

Masthead Resort Summer Stay

No ADA parking available. They didn’t tell us there was a $30 charge for parking during the summer until we booked and wouldn’t waive the fee when we mentioned our handicap placard and ADA needs. After this discussion they did not talk about any amenities, only brought us to our room.

The room was cute and had a wonderful view. It did look like the top sheet had been taken right out of its packaging without being washed. It still has the creases. There was hair on the bathroom walls and the book shelf area that you walked through was incredibly dusty.

I would like to commemorate the cleaning staff though because my partner lost the rubber non-slip end to her walking stick and the staff picked it up and kept it until they saw her.

Our unit’s kitchen was extremely dated and though I didn’t intend to spend much time watching tv, I still would have preferred not watching shows on something so unbelievably small (maybe 38 inches in diameter) in such a large living room - with a SPECTACULAR view of the water - but also a large living room devoid of a coffee table, which I did actually find annoying. But those are easily overlooked by the value, charm and view in this very pleasant cottage which my GF and I both liked very much

Cute spot. We were to talk for the doorways in the up stairs cottage room facing commercial street. Smacked my head really hard like 3 times, they are smaller doorways. It was big tho, and the window overlooking the ocean was beautiful in the mornings. Bed was a full, so two 6 foot plus dudes didn’t fit great and it leaked thru the window above it (it was down pouring so hopefully doesn’t do that all the time). I wouldn’t stay in that specific room again but I’d be willing to try another room. All in all it was fine.

The room was immaculate and very comfortable. It included a small kitchen and a small deck. I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking out over the water. The only issue here is parking. Due to the nature of the location, There are limited parking spaces at the facility. There is parking available a short walk away at the Provincetown Inn, for which we were grateful. But it makes managing luggage challenging.

I was staying at the inn. The room was dinky. The bed was too short, which is really weird because I'm on the short side. No hot water, I managed to take a lukewarm shower at night. While the office was very responsive during the day, it was only open from 9-5. If you have a problem after five tough luck. Also noisy as it was on the street. I will not be back.

Provincetown is full of over-priced lodgings but the Masthead is Not one of them. It’s a bit old and tired but very clean. It also has some wonderful views and a nice lawn overlooking the bay, and very few other places have this! It’s located in the quiet West End of town and is surrounded by charming homes. I’ll definitely return.

This place was excellent! We originally were planning a day trip through Provincetown, but once we arrived, we just had to stay at least one night. Masthead was one of the only locations that provided same-day booking, and we were not disappointed!

We ended up finding a great deal, in a one bedroom, shared bathroom space. Lucky for us, there was no one else booked in this area. That meant we had the washroom all to ourselves! Mind you, we did visit in shoulder season I think the experience would have been a little bit different in the busy season (sharing a shower and bathroom among potentially six people). But it is what it is and the price cannot be beat!

When we checked in there was a strong and cold wind that got through the windows and made the room very cold - we could never get the room above 60 degrees. The room key did not work on our door so we had to take all of our valuables with us every time we left the room since we could don't lock the door.

We stayed with another couple and enjoyed having a two bedroom suite with a nice living room, electric fireplace and kitchen. This was more fun, more comfortable and more economical than having two separate rooms. The resort is made up of a number of houses right on the beach and it would be awesome to sit on the long deck in the summer and look out at the harbor (we were here in December). We were in 41C which has a limited water view. The only things that weren't perfect - check in is at 4PM and the room wasn't ready a minute before then, and there was no dish towel nor paper towels in the kitchen. Parking is limited, but there's a town lot close by which is free in the winter. We will be happy to stay here again.

Sweet cape like vibe!

This is one of my favorite places to stay in Provincetown. It is quiet and far out on the West End. It is however quite a walk into town. For example, Probably a 15-20 minute walk to the center And obviously further to some of the great restaurants on the East End.
