Sandcastle Resort , anyone been recently?

We have booked a week at the end of July at the Sandcastle Resort Provincetown (through RCI)but their website hasn%26#39;t any recent reviews. Can anyone give us some info on the place itself and surrounding area? This is our first time in this part of the USA and are really looking forward to it. We are having a couple of nights in Boston before our stay in Provincetown and one at the end before we fly home but have four nights to fill inbetween, any suggestions? We will probably visit Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket from Provincetown.

I don%26#39;t know anything about the accommodations at Sand Castle, though it looks nice enough. However it is way, way out of town -- about two miles from the center. There is a bus every 20 min. or so ($1) and I think that the flat rate cab fare is $5 or $6. If you walk to town, it is a pleasant walk but around half an hour. Sandcastle is on the shore but I don%26#39;t know what the beach is like. I believe there is a pool.

In the previous message I said that Sandcastle was far out of town. To give you an idea, numbering on Commercial St. starts at 1 in the far west end of town. Town center is in the 200s. Sandcastle%26#39;s address is in the 900s east of town center. Also if you do stay there and walk to town, you can do so at night with no worries (except traffic - no sidewalks). Ptown is very safe.

Hi, are you planning daytrips from P-town to each of the islands? If so, you will have to drive to one of the towns with ferries - Hyannis the most options:

Yes we will be going on day trips to the islands. We will have a car so no problem getting to Hyannis. How far is it from P-town to Hyannis?

It is about 30 miles. You may have more energy than me on vacation, but I would suggest that you should choose one island for a day trip as opposed to trying to do both in a one week period. Once you firm up your itinerary, I would buy ferry tickets on line as July is peak season. You don%26#39;t need a car on either Island for a day trip, there is parking at the ferry.

Thanks for your replies, we have 11 days in all in the area so we will probably visit both islands as we need to see as much as possible because we may not get to Cape Cod again as we tend to travel to different places each year.

I am sorry I misunderstood, I thought you only had 4 nights total. Have fun, you will love the Cape %26amp; Islands!

friends of mine own a timeshare at sandcastle. the pools and hottub are kept clean. the tennis courts are in good shape. the rooms are a bit ';motel-ish';, but spacious enough to satisfy a family, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I%26#39;ve visited my friends%26#39; timeshare every yearly visit to P-town %26amp; enjoyed the pools, courts, hottub %26amp; HBO while visiting. If your room faces the bay, instead of the outdoor pool or parking area, expect to be doubly blessed... Sandcastle has its own bay beach access, and you get a perfect crowd-free beach.
