The Winstead Inn

Beautiful location! Excellent service. Centrally located to many tourist attractions.

EVERYTHING!!! The properties are incredible with stunning views, pool and beach house - the rooms are spacious and gorgeous - with an enormous amount of storage, beautifully furnished (solid wood, wonderful art hugging the walls). The staff is amazing, always super helpful, with genuine smiles, truly remarkable people. The breakfast options in the morning are super generous, including: warm homemade muffins (changing daily in flavor), banana bread, and mini croissants (also varying in flavor daily), yogurt (several options available), fresh fruit cups (at least 5-6 fruit varieties included and cut up in bite size), bagels, English muffins, boiled eggs, condiments, cereal (few varieties), milk, juice (2 options), coffee, tea, and quiche. They even serve warm cookies and fresh lemonade in the afternoon. Both properties are extremely clean, plenty of beach towels available at all times. Winstead Inn is treat and feels like being in paradise!

Not staying long enough…

Disappointing

Our stay at this resort was, unfortunately, far from relaxing. We encountered several issues that really impacted our experience. First and most unsettling—there were ants in our room. One even crawled across my daughter’s face at 3am, waking her up in a panic. On top of that, when we turned down the beds, we found a long hair in one of them—definitely not what you expect when arriving at a “resort.”The pool was another disappointment. It was noticeably dirty, and while we were hoping for some family time in the morning, there’s an “adults only” swim from 8–10am. The kicker? The pool was completely empty during that entire time, which felt like such a waste.Another heads-up for future guests: the resort has two separate locations. If you don’t book a beachfront room, you’re restricted from parking near the beach except during limited hours. This was inconvenient and felt misleading.Overall, this was a very disappointing stay for our family. I rarely leave negative reviews, but in this case, I would not return and wouldn’t recommend it to others—especially families with young kids.

Very cozy place with spacious and comfortable rooms! Everything was generally easy to navigate and figure out.

The breakfast was a bit disappointing, we were certainly expecting something a bit more thoughtful than a simple cold breakfast.

Historic Feel with modern amenities

Minor inconvenience but we did have to go to their beach resort 1.5 miles away for the included breakfast, which was fine.

Beautiful groundsLovely staffRoom very neat and clean and spacious

The facility is very nice, clean, charming, with lots of character. The personnel is well trained, courteous, and helpful.

The sond floor rooms have sloped ceiling that caused some occasional head bumps.

They made sure I got in safe and comfortable. Number to call when I arrived late for check in was super nice. In case I needed help with anything. Morning staff was so nice too

Pretty property. Nice area

Location was good.

Strange albeit nice. We had 3 rooms and the keys worked in multiple rooms which was concerning. The TV in the room didn’t offer basic stations you’d expect for a place that charges prices like that. Pool closed at 7pm which again is just really weird given it’s the cape and you’re gone most of the day. Generally, nice place at 300-400 a night but for double that price it just doesn’t have anything that justifies that other than supply and demand. Woman at the front desk was very nice and when she was there was always available.

The suite was roomy but it was the beautiful grounds I really loved. The breakfast was well thought out. Staff were lovely.

Doors were locked always and sometimes on the inside

Breakfast, options of pool and beach, room size and amenities

Wr were surprised we had to ask for housekeeping every day and even when they came for housekeeping they left garbage on the counter. The sheets could have been changed becase we were there for a long stay and with the beach etc. it would have been apprecaited to have a change of sheets mid-way.

Great pool, staff and rooms

Noisy w cars if windows /door open

The Winstead Inn is a hidden gem that we discovered for a brief Cape getaway. The staff were amazing and very knowledgeable about the area. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the water pressure and temperature in the shower was ideal. The best part of the Inn was the grounds, which were extremely beautiful and well groomed. The pool felt like an oasis getaway, very quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious with many options. We can't speak highly enough about this property and highly recommend it!

Nothing, we will be back next year!

Breakfast, the pool, the beach, some of the staff members were extremely friendly and kind.

Needing to request basic room necessities (towels, make the bed, etc). One day while staying at the beach hotel one of the young men working there asked us to clean up our beach chairs and umbrellas when we were finished with them. For the price spent per day, the staff should do this.

The cleanliness, the continental breakfast was exceptional. The grounds were well manicured. Quiet neighborhood.

It felt cold and unfriendly. A bit classist and judgmental of certain people. The windows don’t have anything but darkening shade and darkening curtain. My room was dark always because their were no privacy sheets and of shade was open someone else’s window was right there as well as the pool area. Very uncomfortable low end mattress.

Loved our room. It was large, spacious and the beds were really comfortable. The bathroom/shower was great too. The whole place was immaculate. Breakfast was very good. The owner was very welcoming and most helpful. Would highly recommend.

Nothing!!

The Winstead us a nice stay for sure. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming. Breakfast was simple but great. Friendly staff. Very local to the bike trail, which is lots of fun.

Beautiful facility, great room, good breakfast and friendly staff.

Everything! The Inn is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in CrowsNest - very comfortable and roomy. Sleep sofa and den area, breakfast area. King size bed was very comfortable. Shower was amazing and very enjoyable after a day at the private beach. Professional,personable and helpful staff. Breakfast delicious

Nothing. Wish we could have stayed longer than a weekend but will definitely be back

The Breakfast was amazing. My daughter and I sat outside eating our breakfast and viewing the ocean and its beauty. However the separate facilities was difficult to find and absorbed some of our vacation time. Prices variate and lead to confusion.
