Anchor Inn Beach House

About The Hotel

The Anchor Inn Beach House is a waterfront inn right on Commercial Street in the heart of Provincetown, with harbor views, private decks, and an unbeatable location steps from the galleries, restaurants, and MacMillan Wharf. It holds a 4.6 across 487 reviews, with guests praising the location and the water views; however, recent reviews note variable service quality and occasional disappointments. The inn is best for travelers wanting maximum Commercial Street energy and harbor views, willing to trade resort amenities for location. At $517–$591 per night, it is among Provincetown’s most expensive stays, and the lack of a shared pool or hot tub means that in-room whirlpools are a specific room category to confirm. For location on the waterfront in the action, the Anchor Inn is unmatched.

What Guests Are Saying

“We booked a 3 day trip 6 weeks in advance and started trying to cancel the next day and continued trying for 3 more days. They charged our card (which shouldn’t have been done) for half the cost of the room, $1800. They refuse to refund this money even though the website says fully refundable! It’s been and awful experience!!!” — Lynda G., 1 star
