Salt Winds B & B and Guest House

This is a great B&B! We loved our stay, and the innkeepers were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Breakfasts were tasty and filling, and we enjoyed our first time on the cape this summer. Also Hyannis is a convenient place to stay since it seemed slightly less expensive than more of the crowded towns, but was a short 20 min drive to everywhere we wanted to visit.

Most amazing stay with the kindest innkeepers. This place is a hidden gem and I recommend all to stay here. I can’t wait to return!

My boyfriend and I stayed here this past weekend for my birthday. It was EXACTLY what I was hoping for…
Our room was clean & charming. Private bath, mini fridge, fresh linens and towels. The grounds were beautiful — lots of colorful flowers, places to sit and read, and even a pool (which we unfortunately didn’t get to use). Quick walk to the beach and to Main Street.
Craig, Ginny and staff were so welcoming and helpful.
Don’t miss breakfast — SO yummy!
We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family and will hopefully be back before too long!

i stayed at the saltwinds a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t have been happier. ginny and craig (the owners) are two of the most spectacular people i’ve ever met. they could not have made my stay any better. from my first phone call with ginny to when craig dropped me off at the train station, i felt at ease, taken care of, and WELCOMED. the location of the saltwinds is perfect — an easy walk to main street (with tons of shops and restaurants), the cape cod baseball league field, and the beach. i also took a ferry to martha’s vineyard and craig was kind enough to take me to the ferry and pick me up (even though it is within walking distance). breakfast is delicious each morning, and the sweet women that work at the saltwinds could not have been more delightful. my room was so charming, and always SO clean. the price was a wonderful value for the stay. it was my first stay on the cape, and i can already foresee many more summers spent at the saltwinds. thank you so much, ginny and craig!

I decided at the last minute to book a weekend trip to Cape Cod. As you will know if you’re at all familiar with an area, that is not an easy or reasonably priced whim to have in the summer. So after looking at a variety of hotel options that I couldn’t afford and lower priced ones that I think I would’ve gotten diseases from, I decided to look at B&Bs. Having only stayed at a B&B once in the past (in Maine), I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But the rates were right in line with what I wanted to pay, there was availability, and I had read other good reviews.
I cannot say enough about how much this place exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Firstly, the location is perfect. A 5 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to Main Street, 20 minute walk to the ferries to MV & Nantucket. But don’t even concern yourself with the 20 minute walk, because Craig & Ginny, the proprietors, are more than welcoming and offered us a ride to and from our ferry the day we went to Nantucket. They also provide beach chairs if you’re going to the beach, restaurant and local area recommendations (of which we listened and were not disappointed), and most importantly HOSPITALITY. You don’t get this kind of attention at a hotel.
The B&B itself is very quaint… clean, well-​kept, equipped with outdoor seating areas to relax as well as a pool, which was an added bonus I didn’t expect before arriving. The breakfast area is very cute and the breakfast itself was delicious every morning.
I really can’t say enough good things about my stay at Salt Winds… just don’t even second guess yourself and just book it and see for yourself. You can’t come close to this location, level of service, and accommodations for the price on Cape Cod in the summer!

One word? AWESOME!
Initially, the thought of a B&B creeped me out. I don’t like staying over friends or relatives’ houses unless I must, let alone some stranger’s house in an area I am unfamiliar with. Call me strange, but something about the concept of a B&B has so much in common with a horror film that ends with me getting killed along the line… but not here.
My wife and I joined a few of our friends to go to Hyannis and Martha’s Vineyard for Memorial Day Weekend and we stayed here. Craig and Ginny (the proprietors) were so friendly and accomodating. Both of them are very personable and full of great local knowledge that they really helped make our stay easier and more pleasant. You will be regaled with Craig’s funny stories if you just take the time to speak with him. Ginny is so willing to make the stay as comfortable as possible. You could not ask for better hosts. At no time, did I think they would kill me, and cure my flesh to make sausages like in the movie «Motel Hell». (Sorry, my paranoia is a bit unreasonable).
The place is literally a 10 – 15 min walk from Main street. The beach is 5 min in the opposite direction. You’re so close, you can smell the salty air when you step from your room.
The rooms are very nice. In fact, you have 2 choices of where to stay: Stay in the main house or the guest house. We stayed in the guest hose, facing the back yard and the large comfortable hammock that gently rocked me to sleep several nights.
Our room consisted of a small sleeping area, a bathroom and a closet. They got cable tv and I do believe there is wi-​fi. But why come all the way to Hyannis to surf the web and watch cable? And the room size? Who cares. I was there to see the town, not stay indoors. It was more than adequate and very comfortable.
By the way, the breakfast was DELICIOUS. You get two choices: some awesome egg dish or some ceral with yogurt. I went for the eggs and was pleased everytime. Damn, that was good food.
Overall, we were extremely pleased. We’re definitely going to stay here again. The rates are more than fair for all the accommodations, and the people here really make it worth the stay. My only regret in writing this review is that you’ll read this and stay there with your friends and make it harder for me to do so. Do not make me slay you…
