The facilities were good, except that my room didn't have a dresser. The problem was that the owners were so surly that they made our experience unpleasant. We were 8 friends in four rooms for three nights. That should have earned some respect. First, they wouldn't rearrange the parking so a late arriver could fit in the driveway. Then, for... More

On its website, the Beaconlight presents itself as a cosy, romantic guest house where „relaxation is the key“, invites guests to „enjoy our outdoor hot tub open year round” and conveys the idea of a friendly house where you can feel at home. Our stay at the Beacon Light was supposed to be the highlight of our trip along the... More

The owner is rude and unfriendly. Upon my early arrival, I expected a welcome and the usual chatter that the room was not ready until yet, and a suggested time to return. instead, I was greeted with "Put the bags under the piano. Check in is at 2 PM." He didn't even know who I was. Perhaps my room may... More

I had read the reviews about the owner's lack of hospitality, but thought they were likely exaggerations. Nope. He rattled off the particulars of the accommodations so fast we could barely follow them, then was rarely seen and when he was, was just shy of rude. If not for the cold and unwelcoming owner, this would have easily rated 5... More

This place is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. My only complaint was that the owner Keith was cold, terse, and basically acted as if we were an annoyance. He'd walk right past us in the hallway without saying hello or making eye contact, answer questions with a two-word reply without looking away from the TV, etc. His kids... More

I recommend the Beaconlight. The place is immaculately clean, rooms were freshly appointed, and there is a pleasant staff to welcome you. I got a weekend stay at the last minute and when I arrived I was actually upgraded at to a room with private bath (Nauset) which I would book again. Overall, it's quiet, on a side street with...

My wife, 90-year old mother-in-law, and I spent two very pleasant nights at the Beaconlight in mid-April, before the high season, and loved it! The accommodation options in Provincetown and nearby Wellfleet were much fewer than in the summer, but we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The Guesthouse is in a very convenient location (half a block from... More

I made a reservation on their website. Had to cancel after reading horror stories with new owners. Cancelled 10 minutes later - and called them. It was evening and a snotty man with an oh so English accent answered - assume it was one of the two horrid owners. I played nice and apoligized and said maybe another time -... More
