Quite clean. But there are some basic things that need attention: The front curtains are So difficult to draw closed when leaving the unit for town; Replace with levelors. There is deferred maintenance that makes the unit feel a bit dated. Do a complete check. Fabulous shower and bathroom!

Loved the Masthead

It was our 54th wedding anniversary. 1971 we honeymooned in PTown. I was so fortunate and delighted that we choose the Masthead. It was perfect. Beautiful location, clean, comfortable. We had a small unit, but it was perfect. I want to go there again!

Delightful experience, very clean, in the quiet area on the west end so a bit away from 'downtown' but plenty close to walk. Resort has a portion of the beach to itself, you feel at home there, thoughtful cottage like amenities (needs, home tools, broom). I enjoyed not being imposed on as I don't like services and didn't need them. It showed that there was care and real thoughtfulness, had all the basics in decent supply, and encourages green living but doesn't force it.

The location is just perfect: within walking distance to the town center, but located on the beach and in a quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and other beaches.The staff was kind and helpful, ongoing contact by sms or telephone, receptive to our needs. Some items may be upgraded, but overall everything worked well.
