Winstead Inn
"A 4.6-rated gracious Cape inn with a pool and a separate beach-house location near Harwich Port and the Nantucket Sound harbors."
About The Hotel
The Winstead Inn is a gracious Cape inn near Harwich Port with a pool and a separate beach-house location along Nantucket Sound, offering relaxed, well-appointed rooms close to the harbors and the beaches. It holds a 4.6 across 329 reviews, with guests praising the clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, beautiful garden and pool area, and welcoming front-desk service. The inn combines the convenience of a main inn building with the beach-house appeal of direct sound-side access — two experiences in one property. Parking is free, and the Harwich harbors, Cape Cod Rail Trail, and the Cape League games are all within easy reach. The inn is not a luxury resort, but a comfortable, relaxed Lower Cape base for couples and beach lovers who prefer authenticity over polish.
What Guests Are Saying
“The Inn is a beautiful place with a beautiful garden and pool area. The room we had was very spacious with comfortable beds and a large bathroom. Everything was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was served in a very nice room and was ok. There were boiled eggs, but no other salty foods (no fried, scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, whatsoever). The breakfast therefore from our perspective didn’t meet the choice we usually got at the cape (Eg Captains House Inn or Brewster by the Sea). However, it didn’t bother us that much and the staff were really friendly. On our last day the eggs run out and the staff immediately made sure there were fresh eggs. Overall we definitely recommend this place.” — Perro007, 4 stars

What guests are saying about Winstead Inn.
"Beautiful house. A little musty. Nice breakfast. Feels a little far from everything. The road out front is somewhat dangerous as some cars drive by extremely fast at night. Room was very quiet though. Front desk wasn’t very helpful. When there was no parking at the beach hotel, they said we would need to wait 2 hours for a shuttle to take us. What?? So don’t rely on their shuttle service offered. Everything we asked for was met with an eye roll. Overall the hotel is very nice and the rooms was comfortable. Great price for what we got compared to the surrounding area during peak season. Nice pool"

Jodie was a gracious and attentive host making sure we had everything we needed for our celebration including champagne flutes! We actually had a few inches of snow overnight and when we woke up in the morning Jodie had hot coffee, freshly baked muffins and a lovely breakfast strata waiting for us. In between breakfast duties she not only cleared the exterior stairs and driveway; she even took the time to brush off our cars. And I can’t say enough about the beautiful rooms and suites right down to every detail including the beautifully tiled walk in shower. Definitely one of the nicest stays we’ve had!"
