The stay was excellent and we would stay again. Breakfast was so incredible that I have to remake it at home. The owner also happens to have a line of organic wool bedding that she featured on the bed, sold in a separate shop run by her son. We slept so well that we decided to go to the shop (we were not pushed or high sold) and purchase some pieces. Very good experience.

My wife and I found our way to Amy and Brewster by the Sea via Expedia. The information and photographs featured in the site looked very appealing and we made our reservation. Amy, the owner, send us a video link to a very detailed video of the arrival process and our specific room and its features. When we arrived at Brewster by the Sea, we had a very clear idea of what to do, which codes to enter to access the premises, and since the video was recorded in our room, there were no surprises. The furnishings and the attention to detail that Amy focuses on all aspects of her inn were evident everywhere, from the cleanliness and good upkeep of the room to the detailed folder with practical information on the inn and the Cape. Wi-fi Internet reception was very good. Amy was very warm, welcoming and very happy to share her house with us. Getting to the specifics, her house is impeccably clean and very well decorated, without being over bearing. She prepares a top-level breakfast, impeccably presented and often using fresh vegetables and herbs grown in her garden. We were very grateful for the attention that she paid to our allergies-related request, going to the point of purchasing vegan butter just for us. In summary, we spent 5 great days at Brewster by the Sea. We are very grateful to Amy for her warm attention, as well as to her friendly gardener for some great conversations about home grown vegetables and rock music. We will certainly be back.

Treat Yourself! You Deserve It.
This was a wonderful romantic getaway in a part of Cape Cod we weren't really familiar with. The location is perfect as we were able to easily drive up from the South Shore, spend some quality time in Wellfleet and Provincetown, then spend our later afternoon and evening in Brewster. The owner Amy is sunny and welcoming and keen to ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need. She has paid attention to small details so the experience is is special. We live in developing countries with our sons doing humanitarian work so were dealing with a bit of reverse culture shock revisiting the US and family for the first time since 2019. Here we felt we could really recharge our batteries and just enjoy life for a little bit focusing on self care. The breakfast was also thoughtful, healthy (with a little decadence in the homemade cinnamon buns) and special. We'd love to return one day. Thanks!

Brewster Inn By The Sea was an amazing experience for my fiance and I this year. The owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. Amy helped me secretly plan my after- proposal on Valentine’s Weekend with champagne, flowers, and chocolate strawberries! I could not think of a more perfect place we could have stayed at on Cape Cod for our amazing weekend!

We just happened upon this Inn while looking in the internet for a one night stay in Cape Cod. It was difficult to find one that didn’t look like your great aunts house with lots of doilies ! We were so pleasantly surprised by this lovely Inn. our hostess even let us change to a different room that was more to our decorative taste at no charge The room was lovely down to fresh flowers chocolate fluffy pillows and bath robes . It had every amenity you could want even coffee and tea available all day and delicious blueberry bites for an afternoon treat. The breakfast was amazing. The setting was lovely with the hydrangeas in bloom around the patio and pool. Our hostess was so accommodating and had lots of helpful suggestions about what to do in the area We can’t say enough good things about this Inn.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Expensive and disappointing
Looked to book a somewhere we could relax and enjoy the cape but even though we booked the suite we ended up in a creaky old building which was damp inside. Our sleep was determined by the times those upstairs stopped moving around their room, and when noisy traffic wasn’t driving past. Our bedding was damp. Probably due to there being no fresh air or ventilation in the bedroom The property advertises breakfast but this is a fixed menu breakfast based on what they want to cook, not what you want or can eat. Pool is not heated so useless. You are also nowhere near the sea or a beach, it is a drive and a paid parking away

Thank you for taking a moment to share your thoughts about your stay, Phillip. I'm sorry you were disappointed. We did our best to meet your dietary needs, and were happy to prepare your breakfast as desired each morning. Each room has its own air conditioning/ heating and dehumidifier unit, so perhaps I didn't fully explain how best to use it, given the damp weather we experienced during your stay. I wish I would have known you were having trouble during your stay, so I could have made you more comfortable. I hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable. Kind regards, Amy.

Brewster by the Sea Inn will definitely get you in the mood that an Inn should give you. First of all the property is well maintained and manicured. The inside is very clean, the gathering room has all the comforts to relax with soft music. Our room was perfect, the comfortable bed gave me a great night sleep. The staff was so pleasant that they could not do enough to accommodate you. I would recommend this Inn to everyone.

Gorgeous New England inn, beautifully decorated with no amenity overlooked. Delicious breakfasts and great hospitality. Our room was absolutely perfect; comforter and pillows made of 100% wool provided support, comfort and warmth without weight/bulk. Modern functional bathroom with tub shower and Beekman toiletries. Lovely decor, everything you'd expect and more from a beautiful Cape Cod Inn.

Lovely inn. Beautiful room. Exceptional, delicious breakfasts. Very clean, well maintained. The innkeeper went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We visited in chilly late fall but the inn was cozy. Fireplace in our room, the breakfast/gathering room, and sitting room. Great location accessible to Cape activities. A bonus was meeting the innkeeper’s sweet dog.
