If you prefer 2 double beds the rate increase from $70 to $96 depending on the number of people included in the reservation.  There may be minimum stays for some weekends, may be some specials and discounts, so always call ahead 800-755-3117.

What I like most is that the owners live there, so you know, it’s going to be a well-behaved, quiet, well-taken care of motel. When Leo and I travel, this is always a big plus for us. The Midway Motel is small and it’s site has lots of open space. This always makes a motel feel more peaceful.

It’s connected to the Cape Cod Rail Trail by a short path. So if you like to bike, this is great. Spring is a good time to come for that. Sometimes in the summer, even on Cape Cod, it gets so hot that you don’t feel much like it!

For a Cape Cod Family Vacation Take a Look at the Country Acres Motel in Sandwich

Tags: , , ,

The Country Acres Motel in Sandwich is a Great Setting for a Family Vacation on Cape Cod.

The Country Acres Motel is lcoated on Route 6A just outside of the Historic Sandwich Town Center. Its grounds have a very spacious feel to them. A large pool with seating area is at the center of the courtyard, which is adjacent to the Great Salt Marsh of Cape Cod Bay. Sometimes if you have small children, it’s easier to let them play in the pool than to schlepp them to the beach. That way there’s a quiet room for nap time and you own clean bathroom is nearby as well. The rooms also have refrigerators and microwaves, so you can save on simple meals and snacks. There’s also a complimentary continental breakfast, except during the winter.

The Crow Farm Stand is right across the street so you can get fresh fruit, veggies, and baked goods. Even take a farm tour! It’s been there forever and is a Sandwich tradition.

The room rates differ by season, but they are still in the affordable range for a family vacation. If you want to come to Cape Cod in the Spring (May 1 to June 18) or Fal (August 30 to October 31), you can get a room with 1 Queen Bed from $74 to $84; a room with 2 Double Beds from $$84 to $94; and a larger room with 2 Double Beds and a pull-out couch from $89 to $99.

During the summer season you’ll still find affordable motel rates. A room with 1 Queen Bed ranges from $89 to $104; a room with 2 Double Beds ranges from $99 to $114; and the largest rooms with 2 Double Beds and a pull-out couch range from $104 to $124.

The Bayside Resort Overlooking Lewis Bay is a Good Choice for a Cape Cod Vacation

Tags: , , , ,

The Bayside Resort has a great heated indoor pool. A year-round vacation option!

The Bayside Resort has a reputation for good customer service and being really clean. A lot of our friends stay there when they visit in the winter because of the heated indoor pool. Leo and I love it when they invite us over to spend the day poolside with them. It really picks up our flagging winter spirits.

Room Rates. I would say the room rates are moderate compared to other Cape Cod lodging options. There basic room during peak season goes for $159 during the week and $179 on the weekend. This is an approximate range. You actually have to get into the booking process to see the actual rate for your room and time period. A deluxe room goes for about $179 midweek and $199 on the weekend. The Jacuzzi Suite is their most deluxe option and goes for about $225 midweek and $245 on the weekend. These suites are designed for couples and feature a king sized bed, and a Jacuzzi tub for 2 located directly in the guestroom. Again you need to call to verify the actual room rates for your vacation stay. Here’s the number 800-243-1114. Of course there are off season rates, which are a lot less.

Room Amenities. Free high-speed wireless internet access, Cable television, Free movies, Pay per view movies, Coffee maker, Hairdryer, Iron and ironing board, Refrigerator Activity, table or desk, 1 king, 2 queen, or 2 hotel double beds, Judith Jackson Spa Series bath products.

Affordable Cape Cod Spring Vacation Starts at $65 a night at the Wishing Well Motel in Harwich.

Today was a beautiful day on Cape Cod. So there’s plenty of good weather and other reasons to getaway and enjoy Cape Cod in the off-season. The Wishing Well Motel in Harwich is the perfect affordable motel for such an escape. It’s a short walk to the beach and has a swimming pool. Although at this time of year, the pool probably isn’t an option! All units have private baths, telephones, refrigerators, TV and are heated and air-conditioned. But No Smoking and no pets.

A room with a queen size bed is only $65 until May 21st. And if you book online or pay in cash upon your arrival you can save 5%. Stay 3 or more nights and save $10. I’m not sure if these can be combined. But, wow, such a good rate!

A room with two double beds, a microwave and coffee pot is only $75. A studio with 1 queen bed and full kitchen is also $75. That is probably the choice for Leo and me. I want coffee before I do anything. And the money we save on breakfast and late night snacking, is amazing.

If you’re travelling in a group a 2 bedroom suite is only $135. One bedroom has 2 double beds, the other a single queen bed.

The Wishing Well Motel has been owned and operated by Wally Cunningham since 1985. Leo would like this option alot. He grew up at a fishing camp and motel in Florida, and always likes to stay at small locally owned motels whenever it’s possible.
