Situated in a quiet, unassuming residential neighborhood, Brewster By The Sea is a quaint, picture-perfect bed-and-breakfast. Inside and out, the property is a textbook example of classic colonial New England charm. Each of its eight rooms is uniquely decorated and include standard amenities like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and beautifully designed bathrooms. Some feature additional high-end features such as kitchenettes, private garden patios, and fireplaces. The lovely outdoor pool set in a private garden is a noteworthy addition to this tiny property, as is the small spa and cozy lobby reading area with a fireplace. As an alternative, the three-pearl Anchor In Hotel in nearby Hyannis offers more amenities at similar rates, but decidedly less boutique charm.

The Villages at Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club is a huge property with an 18-hole golf course and direct access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The 242 One-, Two-, and Three-Bedroom Villas have kitchens and living rooms, and some have washers and dryers. The sprawling property has numerous activities, including tennis and volleyball courts, a fitness center, heated indoor and outdoor pools, and kids' pools. Four restaurants -- including a tavern in the golf clubhouse -- offer casual family-friendly dining. There’s also a kids’ club and supervised activities. However, there's a mandatory resort fee and the pools can get crowded, making it less than suitable for travelers who want an intimate, coastal vacation. Those looking for something a bit more upscale and less vast could try The Mansion at Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club.

The 121-room Mansion at Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club is an upscale, historic Cape Cod estate with sprawling facilities. Situated in the charming town of Brewster, this property has a lovely private beach (which isn't available to guests at the sister property, The Villages). Resort features are split between the two properties -- meaning that some are up to a 15-minute walk away -- but are plentiful including indoor and outdoor pools, volleyball and tennis courts, an 18-hole championship golf course, fitness center, kids’ activities and camps, and four on-site restaurants. But there's a daily resort fee and a fee for breakfast. Rooms are spacious and charming with separate sitting areas, furnished balconies or patios, and roomy bathrooms, but the wall-mounted air-conditioning units can be noisy. Guests looking for a less-pricey (but less upscale) alternative can look into The Mansion’s sister property, The Villages.

The Menemsha Inn & Cottages is a secluded and rustic option in the scenic up-island area of Martha's Vineyard. A variety of rooms and cottages can suit different size groups, and all rooms have charming features like wood-burning fireplaces and screen porches. Freebies here include daily breakfast, (spotty) Wi-Fi, parking, and all the beach necessities such as towels, chairs, and umbrellas. The inn is privately situated on 14 acres of gardens and fields overlooking the Menemsha Harbor, but is still close to nearby Lucy Vincent Beach.

More refined than its sister property The Menemsha Inn, The Beach Plum offers comfortable rooms and suites with French-country style. The property is a beautiful, remote up-island spot overlooking Menemsha Harbor, the fishing village, and a lighthouse. While there are few on-site activities, guests can go next door to the Menemsha Inn to play tennis or hit the gym. Don't expect cell phone service here; part of the charm of sinking into a hammock on a private patio is not having any reception. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property for those who need to stay in touch, and an on-site restaurant -- while pricey -- is excellent.

The 57-room Cape Colony Inn is a pleasantly designed mid-range property located two blocks from the beach with outdoor amenities that include barbecue grills, lawn sports activities, and a lovely outdoor pool. A free breakfast is served in the lobby breakfast lounge, but there's no full restaurant. Beach-themed rooms feature Cape Cod photography, flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and microwaves, plus suites have wet bars and large refrigerators. Guests should note that ground floor rooms can get noise from the floor above and that the location is not within walking distance of downtown, though it's a short drive away. Travelers that want to be closer to the action could consider Surfside Hotel & Suites, which is directly on the beach and right on Commercial Street.

This charming, upper-middle-range bed-and-breakfast is ideal for couples and families looking for an upscale hotel in the heart of Ptown. A friendly staff and details like the daily, made-to-order breakfast give it a homey, down-to-earth vibe, while large, contemporary guest rooms with beyond-the-norm amenities like fireplaces make the Provincetown Hotel a more luxurious option than some other downtown B&Bs. As an alternative, travelers looking for a fashion-forward, adults-only option can opt for the four-pearl Red Inn.

This elegant, centrally located Provincetown inn has 43 rooms and suites decorated in a variety of styles -- from contemporary chic to classic Victorian. The Brass Key Guesthouse offers more amenities than you might expect from a Cape Cod inn, including an outdoor heated infinity pool, up-to-date technology, and a free nightly wine and cheese reception. This gated facility has lots of cozy outdoor lounge areas and free Wi-Fi, but some guests complain about the minimum stay requirement.

For the most part, this upscale inn and spa is charming and attractive -- but room decor is underwhelming when compared to competing properties, and the standard Pamper Me rooms are very small. Those not on a budget would do well to book the more spacious higher-level rooms, which also come with added extras such as fireplaces, decks, and whirlpool tubs. The main amenity here is Shui Spa, and guests can access its facilities -- the mineral soaking tub, steam room, and sauna -- for free.

This historic, luxurious inn is a local hot spot, thanks to its extremely popular restaurant. But it's still plenty relaxing, with beautiful water views from the restaurant and all eight of the attractive, beach-chic rooms. The property is also adults-only, which helps maintain the serene vibe. Overall, the inn's small size and cool factor mean that it sells out fast -- so book early.
