Cape Cod Location
Part of New England, Cape Cod holds a historical charm. A maritime economy, the Cape is a hidden jewel that many tourists travel to each year for its wonderous beaches, clam chowder, seafood, and family adventures.
The conveniently located Mid-Cape bed & breakfast is beachfront with its own private, sandy beach where, in summer, the warm waters of Nantucket Sound average 72 degrees. Easily accessible from our inn are both upscale and casual restaurants, ferries for day trips to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, as well as championship public golf courses, beautiful beaches, bike trails, tennis courts, shopping, fishing, water sports, and the Cape Playhouse theatre.
