Brewster By The Sea

Amazing stay! I wish I could have spent more time at the inn!
Super clean room, with flowers, chocolate and wonderful lavender to bring home! The bed was super comfortable, the room had everything we needed, including a magnifying mirror in bathroom, which might not sound like much, until you need to put on makeup without glasses! No detail was overlooked.
The breakfast’s were amazing, 3 course meal. All was a perfect «I want to take the chef home with me «meals.
I never thought I was a bed and breakfast type person, in the past, my preference was large hotel, with not to much contact. This place totally changed my view. The rooms are in a separate building from the residence of the inn keepers, so you did not feel like you were in someone’s house you did not know. A plus for me.
I had a facial and massage, which was beyond relaxing! Both expertly
done! With the end result, getting rid of a days long headache, and glowing skin.
I can’t think of a downside to staying here. Great little town and shopping, central and easy to get to all major Cape Cod destinations.
Thanks for a great stay!

Muito aconchegante!
Quarto confortável e amplo! Chegamos cansados e fomos super bem recebidos! Recomendo com prazer!

Close your eyes and picture an idyllic Cape Cod B&B. Then picture an amazingly gracious and helpful proprietor. Nice try. This is better. The only possible negative thing that I can think of is that the photos on the website do not do justice to the coziness and hospitable surroundings.

Words can’t describe how wonderful this experience was for me and my gf on vacation. This is our first bed and breakfast stay and everything was perfect. The breakfast in the morning to the cookies on the counter. Perfect location to stay if you’re in the Cape!

If I could give 6,7, or 8 stars I would.
My wife and I came here for our 10 year anniversary/​vow renewal ceremony and could not have been more pleased. Every single accommodation was top notch, and we wish we could have stayed longer; my wife teared up when we left.
First, the B&B itself:
First class, high-​end and luxurious. The owners/​hosts are the nicest, sweetest most attentive couple you could ever ask for in a B&B. Byron is avuncular to the 10^th power, and Donna is as talented in the kitchen as she is personable. Every morning a 2-​course gourmet breakfast was served. The first course was expertly prepared fruit that was as healthy and tasty as it was beautifully presented. The 2^nd course was either some sort of ridiculously delicious pancake/​waffle or a chef-​inspired protein dish (e.g., a frittata with garden fresh squash and sun dried tomatoes). Both came with either scrumptious bacon or savory maple sausage. Everything came with fresh-​squeezed juice and fantastic coffee.
In the afternoon, there was always satisfyingly tasty baked goods available with coffee, tea or lemonade.
The patio where breakfast was served was perfect. One night my wife and I got food to go from a good restaurant and decided to take it to the patio to eat instead of in our room, and of course Byron and Donna provided us plates, silverware and napkins without even being asked to do so. Seriously, they are the nicest, coolest hosts ever.
The room was wonderful. Nothing like a generic hotel room. Felt like you were staying at a guest house of a rich family member. The bed was huge, the linens were super-​comfy and the bathroom was immaculately clean.
The vow-​renewal ceremony:
For a variety of reasons, when my wife and I got married, it was not the dream situation most women would want. So for our ten-​year anniversary we decided to go all out for just ourselves. My wife got the money wedding dress, I bought a new, fine suit and we had selected the Silver package, which included endless photography, hair and make up for my wife, plus flowers and a bouquet. Everything was PERFECT. The day before the ceremony Byron drove us to 3 different possible locations, giving us the history and snapping pics of us the entire time. We selected Pains Creek for the ceremony, which was beautiful.
The day of the ceremony, the woman who did my wife’s hair (Nicole), showed up on time, and made my wife look absolutely stunning. When we were ready to go, Byron drove us down there, took everything to the site, while we waited in the car in the cool air-​conditioning. Then as we walked to the spot, Byron snapped dozens of pictures.
When we got to the site, highlighted by the Cape Code beach rocks, our minister –Faith Lavender– was there waiting for us. She delivered a sincerely romantic and special speech, then my wife and I recited our renewal vows the whole time the tripod camera Byron set up is recording everything, and he’s simultaneaoulsy snapping pictures. It was awesome.
Afterwards we took more pictures, and then went to dinner at a terrific Italian restaurant named Buca’s at the recommendation of Donna. B&B provided us with a gift certificate to the restaurant and also changed our reservations at the last second for us. (Buca’s will be reviewed separately — 5 stars).
The next day we had to ourselves, and of course Byron and Donna were there whenever we needed them for anything.
This was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had, and we will never, ever forget the time we spent at Brewster By the Sea, and will never forget how charming, hospitable and «like family» our hosts Donna and Byron were. I can’t imagine a better B&B existing anywhere on Cape Code or anywhere else.

Our stay at Brewster By The Sea was 5 stars. Donna and Byron were excellent hosts and very responsive to our every need and request. My gluten allergy did not faze Donna in the least. She went all out to create special gluten free breakfasts and afternoon treats every day, yummy! The accommodations were fresh and very comfortable and the grounds were lovely. We typically stay in high end resorts and the inn was definitely high end, with a personal touch!

We were very pleased with our November visit. We came to re-​coop after a family wedding in the area and it was perfect. Donna and Byron are attentive without being intrusive. Breakfast was great. The convenience of self-​help tea and coffee service in both buildings was welcome, as well as the afternoon tea service in the dining room with freshly baked cookies.
One delightful aspect of the property are all of the private corners of the gardens. There are many places to curl up with a book and without the company of other guests.
The central location provides easy access to anywhere you want to go on the cape.

This nice little bed & breakfast has lots of high points and perhaps a couple of low ones. We booked the Refugio Suite and it was very large and very comfortable. The bedroom features an oversized California King bed, a desk and chair, television and lounge chair with ottoman. Beautiful French double doors lead to one of the loveliest features of the room which is a private deck with chairs.
The living room has a delightful fireplace, comfortable sofa and another television. There is also a tastefuly done little kitchenette which was stocked with dishes and glassware as well as a mini fridge. And off the living room is the attractive bathroom stocked with toiletries and comfortable robes.
Right outside our room was a Flavia coffee and tea maker as well as another refrigerator with complimentary creamer, soda and bottled water. The table in our bedroom also had a complimentary decanter of sherry and two scrumptious chocolate truffles were left on our pillows each evening.
Although most of the inn’s rooms are in a separate building a few steps away, breakfast is served each morning in the main house and in the company of Harrison, the inn’s resident and well behaved Labradoodle. An afternoon sweet treat of cake or cookies is also provided in the main house and there’s always a bowl of chocolates if you need a sweet to tide you over.
We had the bad luck to not have the inn-​keepers, Donna and Byron, in residence during most of our stay as they’d suffered a death in the family and were out of state. However, they’d left clear instruction with their staff about our arrival and we were warmly greeted and welcomed. During our stay, the staff was quick to answer questions about the area and to provide restaurant recommendations. The room itself also contained a lot of information about local attractions and restaurants. The night before our last day we came back to our room to find a complimentary bottle of champagne and note from the innkeepers with their sincere regrets for having been away during our stay. That was a very nice touch and was greatly appreciated.
On the down side, we actually didn’t think much of the breakfasts as they were largely flavorless and frequently included microwaved bacon. We wondered if the food suffered due to Donna’s absence because she was billed as the cook. Both Donna and Byron were back on our last morning and it was Donna who prepared our breakfast that day. The food did improve under her stewardship but we’d still say it compared poorly to other B&B’s we’ve visited.
Our room, though lovely, did have some oddities. All the plumbing fixtures were installed backwards so that all handles turned in an atypical direction and the shower pipe was loose which restricted some of the water pressure. The impression was that the work had not been professionally done. In the bedroom, the bed was oddly situated with one side far too close to the wall despite more than ample room on the other side. It made it uncomfortable for the person sleeping on that side to get in and out of bed.
Finally, we do have somewhat of a pet peeve with inn-​keepers who advertise suites, which should be two separate rooms divided by a door, even though the room does not meet that criteria. In this case, the only separation between the bedroom and living room was a screen.
Nevertheless, the inn was quite nice and Donna and Byron were charming hosts who had trained their staff well. Brewster is located mid-​Cape and convenient for day trips to Hyannis and Provincetown which makes this a good choice for a place to stay and there are some lovely beaches right by the inn. Overall we enjoyed our stay on Cape Cod very much.

Can’t say enough! The Labor day weekend brought us to our second stay at Brewster By The Sea. The hospitality is genuine and the inn keepers welcome you into their home with open arms, warm cookies and freshly made lemonade.
The room was warm and cozy and everything you would want in your own home, without the hassle. I am sure we will be back!

Just went to Brewster By The Sea on Sat for a couples massage. One word — Awesome! They have a great area to get a massage — 2 very professional massage tables in a nice quiet room (or any type of spa treatment). My wife and I did the couples massage. Very relaxing and the masseuses were perfect. Not too hard and not too soft with the deep tissue layer massage. We both felt very relaxed for the rest of the evening. We will definitely go again this summer. I know you can get almost any type of spa treatment here, so we will have to see what is next for us!

Brewster by the Sea was amazing. 1000 count sheets on top of an amazing bed. The owners cook you a 2 course breakfast every morning that consists of some sort of fresh fruit as on of the courses. They are also spot on with their food recommendations and beaches to walk at low tide and sunset.

My husband and I just enjoyed a wonderful elopement at Brewster by the Sea! We both wanted a private and stress free – yet still special – wedding. Brewster by the Sea was just the answer. The innkeepers, Donna and Byron, assisted with planning everything. Essentially, I called them, told them what I wanted in terms of room accommodations, flowers, a cake, etc. and they made all it all happen! They referred us to two officiants, and allowed us to choose who we would be more comfortable with and also referred me to a local salon for hair and makeup. We paid a fee to Brewster by the Sea for all the services, which made planning the wedding so easy.
The room we stayed in was lovely – modern, comfortable and very clean. The in ground pool was a great spot to relax, and the breakfasts were delicious. The B&B is super close to a beautiful beach, too.
Donna and Byron were so sweet to us and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. I would highly recommend this inn to anyone looking to spend some time on the Cape.
