We've stayed several times at the Over Look Inn and were pleased with the ambience and the service. The Innkeepers, a lovely young couple, are constantly making improvements and everytime we stay we notice a difference. Each room is different -- -- some have fireplaces -- but all have modern amenities. We like to try a different room each time we stay. The Inn, like all old houses, is full of little nooks, which makes it fun to curl up with a good book.

Yes, the Inn in on a main road -- Route 6 -- but set well back. The advantage is a location that allows you to get anywhere quickly and a quick bike ride (about a mile) to the beaches.

We plan to go back because we think we get good value for our travel dollar.

Now that we have been to the Cape and seen the types of lodging locations in Eastham we would not stay in this inn again. We didn't ask enough questions about its location when we called to make the reservation and thought that we would be in a park-like setting.
Although Eastham was a great place to stay because everything we wanted to do was nearby, the Overlook Inn overlooked the busy highway..not the ocean! It was quite a challange getting in and out of the driveway and the noise of the other guests made for an interrupted night's sleep.
The people who ran the inn were very nice, and the common rooms were lovely but our bedroom was small and "well used" to the point of being tired. Next year we will do more research and try to find a quiet location with ocean views!
