Great for families and kids
Great location for kids and families. We walked to play mini golf and breakfast. The Cape Cod Inflatable Park and Wicked Waves Water Park are both a short drive away. We also biked the Cape Cod rail trail nearby. A great family getaway.

Haunted by Chlorine and Damp Sheets
Room smelled like a public pool, sheets were damp, and cleanliness took a vacation. Wouldn’t recommend unless you're into haunted laundromats.

Needed a little updating (painting, minor repairs). Was a little bit damp but easily fixed with a dehumidifier. Beds, internet and location were all positive. The staff and their customer service skills were impeccable. Would most definitely stay again.

I enjoyed the sands… Beds are good..
The pools are nice… They have a lovely fire pit at night time in the back… You can see the water… It’s lovely for what you pay for it for sure!! But definitely nothing fancy..

You cannot beat the value of the Cape Sands Inn - for the price, it was excellent! The proximity to a neighboring resort was a big selling point for us, since our family was staying there.
Pros:
- Very spacious room with living area
- Very comfortable bed
- Beautiful water view available
- Mini-fridge in room
- Pump soap, shampoo, conditioner available in room
- Very clean overall
- Proximity to stores and restaurants
Cons:
- Limited parking (with a few spaces that are very hard to get in and out of)
- Humid rooms
- Stained shower curtain
