There is a crazy person staying above me. I keep leaving to get away from them and I’ve attempted to say something to them as they were hanging clothes on the railing all day long. They ignored me. It is crazy and I have had no sleep.

Provincetown is full of over-priced lodgings but the Masthead is Not one of them. It’s a bit old and tired but very clean. It also has some wonderful views and a nice lawn overlooking the bay, and very few other places have this! It’s located in the quiet West End of town and is surrounded by charming homes. I’ll definitely return.

It is okay but not great. I didn’t see a single staff member the entire weekend. The shower was tiny but had great water pressure. The bed was comfortable but had no headboard so you couldn’t sit comfortably on it to read or watch tv. There were only two outlets in the room one had the air conditioner plugged into it and the other had the lamp, refrigerator, and coffee maker plugged into it. None were conveniently placed

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our unit’s kitchen was extremely dated and though I didn’t intend to spend much time watching tv, I still would have preferred not watching shows on something so unbelievably small (maybe 38 inches in diameter) in such a large living room - with a SPECTACULAR view of the water - but also a large living room devoid of a coffee table, which I did actually find annoying. But those are easily overlooked by the value, charm and view in this very pleasant cottage which my GF and I both liked very much

Masthead Resort Summer Stay

No ADA parking available. They didn’t tell us there was a $30 charge for parking during the summer until we booked and wouldn’t waive the fee when we mentioned our handicap placard and ADA needs. After this discussion they did not talk about any amenities, only brought us to our room. The room was cute and had a wonderful view. It did look like the top sheet had been taken right out of its packaging without being washed. It still has the creases. There was hair on the bathroom walls and the book shelf area that you walked through was incredibly dusty. I would like to commemorate the cleaning staff though because my partner lost the rubber non-slip end to her walking stick and the staff picked it up and kept it until they saw her.

Delightful experience, very clean, in the quiet area on the west end so a bit away from 'downtown' but plenty close to walk. Resort has a portion of the beach to itself, you feel at home there, thoughtful cottage like amenities (needs, home tools, broom). I enjoyed not being imposed on as I don't like services and didn't need them. It showed that there was care and real thoughtfulness, had all the basics in decent supply, and encourages green living but doesn't force it.
