Overview

This expansive beachfront property features two hotels and several vacation rental properties. The 3-acre property sits on both sides of the street and all guests are welcome to use all the facilities and amenities while the hotel is open from April to October.

Families will love being steps away from the beach and ocean, as well as two outdoor and one indoor pool and a large game room. The guestrooms feature fully equipped kitchens and the multi-bedroom vacation rentals are ideal for larger families or groups. Ideally located on the beach and only a short walk, bike ride or drive away from numerous restaurants, families will love staying at the Corsair and Cross Rip while on a Cape Cod family vacation.

Love being on the ocean/

by divadeb51

Nice place to stay-quiet and clean. Loved the jacuzzi tub!! Close to a lot of places of interest and loved being right on the ocean. There were chairs out so didn't have to lug anything to the beach which was great. -would return there again!
