Pros
- On a private beach
- Option of rooms with kitchenettes and ocean-facing balconies
- Lounge chairs, grills, tables, and fire pits for use
- Cozy, quiet atmosphere thanks to kind owners and small size
- Free Wi-Fi and parking
- Pet-friendly property (a con for some)
Cons
- Few on-site amenities (no gym, pool, or restaurant)
- Only open from April to November
- No elevator to reach second-floor rooms
Bottom Line
The 16-room SandBars on CapeCod Bay is a laid-back hotel on a private beach, open from April to November. The rooms go beyond the expectations of a simple, small property; they feature a chic beach decor, spacious rooms and bathrooms, and the option of a kitchenette and/or a beach balcony (or sliding door) that looks directly to the sand. The few hotel amenities -- such as a fire pit, lounge chairs, free Wi-Fi, and personal interaction with the owners -- draws couples (and some families) to return each year. It may be worth price-checking the nearby Horizons Beach Resort if you're interested in extra room options and a pool.

Scene
A small two-story hotel that attracts couples and groups of friends
SandBars on CapeCod Bay is a small, two-story, gray hotel with blue and white accents. Potted plants are spread out among the railings and ground floors. Rooms are accessed from outdoor hallways, and to access the second floor, guests must use an outdoor staircase. The front of the hotel is the free parking lot and behind the hotel is the beach area that leads to the ocean. As for the front office, it includes a small standing area and desk with multiple brochures. Hanging on the walls are maps of Cape Cod as well as original town-scene paintings by the owner. It’s quiet, private location attracts mostly couples and groups of friends, though some guests have been families -- although families often seek a property with a pool
Location
Located on a private beach, only three miles from North Truro and Provincetown
SandBars on Cape Cod Bay is located on a strip of land off US Hwy 6 in between Cape Cod Bay and East Harbor. Its location on a private beach is oits highlight. Additionally, the hotel is located between Provincetown and North Truro, both of which are about three miles away. Both cities have dining and entertainment options, like whale watching and cruises with Boston Harbor Cruises. For guests who want to use their in-room kitchens, a small market in North Truro, Salty Market, is only a six-minute drive away, while Stop & Shop, a large supermarket, is eight minutes away by car in Provincetown.
Rooms
Spacious beach-themed rooms and the option of a kitchenette, plus oceanfront rooms with terraces or direct beach access
Guests have the option of rooms with a king-size bed or rooms with one or two queen-size beds. The rooms are very spacious and have a sophisticated beach theme with a blue, brown, and tan color scheme. Each room includes an original painting by the owner of the hotel. Some rooms include the option of a full-size kitchenette which has a stove, oven, sink, microwave, refrigerator, and some appliances for guests to use. A dining room table, flat-screen TV, DVD player, and fresh flowers are nice touches to the room. Bathrooms are spacious with some counter space and include shower/tub combos and hairdryers. The best features of the rooms are that some have oceanfront terraces or beach access. First-floor rooms have direct access to the beach through sliding doors, while second-floor ocean-facing rooms have balconies with tables and chairs.
