Beachfront White Sands

I wasn’t sure at first how to rate this, and if you take anything away from my review, I hope it’s the positives. This is a fantastic place to stay on the Cape. It’s not a top rated luxury resort and I don’t think it tries to be. I loved the atmosphere of the family owned and run establishment. Hands down the woman who checked us in and her adult son were one of my companions favorite parts of this vacation. He loved talking to the mom in Greek, and her son was so friendly and helpful. Our first night we checked in with his mom and he gave us a rundown of the WiFi and the property, and told us he’d light a campfire if we were interested. We forgot our beach chairs and he ran them out to us at 9pm when we came back for them and was happy to do it. The coffee in the office was great. The room itself was nearly perfect, but definitely a bit quirky. While they aren’t a b&b, the personal touches and guest interaction gave it that vibe to me. We had two double beds which were clean and comfy and a view of the ocean from our patio. The fridge and appliances were clean. He AC unit seemed older but worked great. The bathroom and towels were clean if slightly dated and quirky - we had to run the tub first for hot water, which wasn’t an issue for us, but the pressure was great and the bathroom large for a hotel. We had a large flatscreen TV and WiFi access, although it was spotty at times. The appearance isn’t super modern, but everything was clean which is what we cared about. You can tell the owners love this place and what they do. They have two pools, a semiprivate beach that I think is shared with the neighboring hotels, which was clean and great for kids with lots of sand and few waves. There is a bus to Ptown across the street, and ptown is within biking distance. There are brochures and some coupons on the office for nearby activities like whale watches, kayaking, boating, food, etc While located on the beach, there is a good bit of sand to walk to get to the water, which may not be great for anyone with mobility issues. It is a great for anyone that wants to be close to the ocean or ptown. They have tons of amenities which are great for kids (pool, fire for s’mores, big TVs, etc) or people looking to get away from the busier towns and enjoy the beach with close proximity to everything. If you’re on a budget this is a great value for the cape. If you’re expecting a luxury resort with bell hops and room service, this isn’t the place for you. But if you just need somewhere clean, quiet, safe, and low key to rest your head, give white sands a chance.
