Why Staying at this Classic Bed & Breakfast in Eastham Is the Best Way to Experience Cape Cod

Not your grandmother’s B&B — a historic Queen Anne Victorian near Cape Cod National Seashore

If you’re planning a Cape Cod getaway and debating between a hotel and a bed and breakfast, where you stay matters more than you think — especially if you’re looking for an experience that feels personal, relaxed, and authentic. When you arrive at Cape Cod's Inn at the Oaks in Eastham, MA, you’ll discover that this classic bed and breakfast offers something hotels simply can’t: character, local insight, and a true sense of place.

Your stay places you just minutes from the protected beaches, dunes, and bike trails of the Cape Cod National Seashore, while still feeling tucked away and peaceful. Because your Innkeepers, have lived on Cape Cod for over 30 years, you benefit from decades of local knowledge — the back roads, the timing, the quiet beaches, and the places that still feel undiscovered. You don’t have to plan every detail. You just get to enjoy it.

We can help by sharing some Cape Cod secrets-like where to go before the crowds arrive. Where you wander quiet back roads past salt marshes and dunes, spend long days at wild beaches, and end the evening watching the sun sink into Cape Cod Bay — then return to a place that feels calm, beautiful, and entirely your own.

You’ll be staying in our one-of-a-kind Queen Anne Victorian — the only one of its kind in town, and the most distinctive inn on the Outer Cape Cod — enhanced with a beautiful addition that blends old and new seamlessly. This historic home has the soul of another era, paired with the comfort and ease today’s travelers crave.

Some rooms transport you straight into the Victorian era — with clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks, and timeless details that feel as though you’ve stepped into Bridgerton or Jane Austen novel. These rooms invite you to slow down, soak, and savor the romance of another time. Other rooms offer welcoming modern showers and all with private baths, designed with just the right balance of historic character and contemporary comfort. It’s that effortless old-meets-new feeling — never stuffy, never overdone — that makes the inn feel relaxed, stylish, and deeply comfortable. Every room is private. Every space is intentional.

 And every stay feels personal. Cape Cod — Lived In, Not Scripted

Guests often tell us their stay at Cape Cod's Inn at the Oaks feels different- and this recent review says it better than we ever could:

“MaryRose and Bernie are the absolute best — super kind and giving. This is the best Bed & Breakfast we have ever stayed at and a must if you are traveling to the Cape. We had the best anniversary weekend and can’t wait to go back. A beautiful, charming inn close to beaches and great restaurants. They are so helpful and truly outstanding.”

We hope that warmth, care, and personal attention is what turns a great trip into a favorite memory.
