Sea Crest Beach Hotel

I was taken by the quaintness combined with the updated technological amenities of the resort. My room had the feel of an older seaside (or Capeside) hotel yet had newer flooring, a comfortable bed, coffee maker and electronic upgrades that blended an older feel with today's amenities. The restaurants were pleasant and bright, given the time of year with a very attentive staff and good food and drink. The hotel staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and cheery. I appreciated their attentiveness and positive attitude. As it was November I did not spend a lot of time enjoying the outdoor areas but I did manage to walk around the area and found it to be quite charming and comfortable. My wife has never been to Cape Cod and I have mentioned to her that we should consider spending some time at your resort during the warmer weather.

If you’re even considering booking here, let me save you the trouble—don’t. This place isn't even deserving of one star. The room was beyond neglected. Paint is literally peeling from the walls and ceiling, and the whole place just feels run-down. The shower and faucets leak constantly, adding to the damp, unpleasant atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there’s rust—it’s like the room hasn’t seen a proper cleaning or maintenance in ages. And the bedding? Let’s just say it’s as comfortable as cardboard. If I could rate this zero stars, I would. If you have any other option—camping, sleeping in your car, anything—take it.

We spent a weekend during the Golden Getaway weekend at Seacrest resort with our two golden retrievers. To say the location is breathtaking is an understatement. Being able to watch the sunset every evening from our oceanfront room and take in the view in the morning from our balcony was out of this world. Our pups had an amazing time swimming the entire weekend and we had a much needed R&R time on a quieter beach during the off-season. The staff is amazing and very helpful whenever we had an encounter. The manager Jay and the hotel mascot Cooper couldn’t have been more welcoming. We will definitely be back!

The good: great beach, very swimmable, and water -even for June- was cool but pleasant. Arguably best beach of any hotel on the Cape. Food and beverage were good for what we experienced (drinks from Lantern, pizza from BBPC, lunch from The Hatch). Unfortunately the outdoor bar was closed, and there was no beach service. Not the end of the world. The bad: this place is pretty shabby. Some of the rooms have been refinished and are nice….others not so much. We had a two bedroom suite; our view was a construction truck parked up against one window, a back hoe and port-a-potty out the other. Kind of tough way to spend almost $1000. There are a lot of small things wrong everywhere: multiple holes drilled in the wall trying to mount toilet paper holder, drapes pulled off their rings, cigarette butts piled up outside entryways, the hallways are disgusting, and trash is just all over the place. In the pool, one of the light units was pulled out and just left sitting poolside. Still connected by a cable to its mount. I just don’t think there’s any pride taken in the place, which is a shame. There’s definitely a market for this place, and there were plenty of people there for a mid-June weekday. So many things would be so simple to fix with any care and training. The beach is what sort of saves this place. That said, if you can find even somewhat comparable rates for the Chatham Bars Inn or something on the Vineyard, go there.

My wife and I've stayed many times. Her family has a house in the Village next door and when we come down to work on the house in the off season we stay at the Seacrest. Our stay was great and we will keep coming every winter. We also walk over to the bar in the summer and that's always a pleasant experience. Overall, always great to visit our neighbor!
