Place is clean. Property manager gave us perfect instructions. The view is really nice. It felt safe and secure. Loved they have quiet hours from 10-8. A perfect place to relax and escape from everything. Perfect distance from Provincetown.

Nice place to unwind

Perfect getaway! Location was secluded and a private beach was perfect. The view was beautiful. The room was spotless, shower pressure was awesome! We hated to leave our 3 day getaway. Spent the days at the beach, whale watching and enjoying the beautiful ocean views from Ptown.

Perfect spot for a getaway!

After owning a  hotel for 15 years, I know the difference between a clean and complete room, and a damaged room, a rip off.   The appearance of the Room 8 had welfare hotel written all over it.

The room was open, not locked, towels strewn on the bed.  It looked like the housekeeping team had not completed the turnover. We left to sit outside and wait. 
Once inside, the room was dismal, the side door to the patio was broken.  It had no screen, it couldn’t be opened.  The windows were broken, and could not be propped open for fresh air, and posed a safety hazard. 

The bed was uncomfortable, like a waterbed filled with old sheets and towels.  No bedside lamp for reading, other than the parking lot light which was shining all night. Good thing there were room darkening shades to close the rotten view of the laundry bags, mops and brooms outside our room and the view of the parking lot.  Again, we called the 800 number to contact a manager or owner to address and correct the problems with the damaged room.  Then, I tried another Vacasa phone number, and spoke to someone. I was told an operations team would contact me.  We were hopeful,  but no one contacted us.

This hotel is a churn & burn operation.  It needs better management and maintenance, and a plan to revert this room to housekeeping. The space is needed, as we were not charmed by the laundry, portable ac units, mops and brooms outside. Instead, we feel ripped off. $700 dollars down the drain.  And, with no on-site owner or manager, it heads in beds, up and out.  We couldn’t wait to leave. 

Bottom line: 
- Rented a damaged room for top dollar
- No owner or manager on site
- No employees to address problems
- No replies to dissatisfied customer 
- Promises to send help or contact customer not kept
- No response to request for a refund
- A total rip off

Bait and Switch - Our Room 8 Horror Story

We stayed at Sandbars many times before Covid. Great location, great rooms, pet friendly - our favorite place in Truro.

What an unpleasant surprise to arrive in September 2022 and discovery that the property is now managed (owned? - unsure) by "Vacasa", a huge rental management company.

What does this mean for guests? Keypad entry, no manager on site. It is basically a motel that runs itself. You've heard the term "AV"? That stands for autonomous vehicle. This an "AM" - an autonomous motel.

If you want any information - when does the P-Town bus stop here, what's a good restaurant, can I check out an hour late? ... anything, there's no one there to answer. If you get there a bit before checkin time (as we did) and you call them, you get a call center operator, with all the negative things that implies.

Maybe this is a trend in the U.S. now - autonomous, self- operating motels. Sure, saves money on salaries, but is really negative for the guests. Suc.ks all the character out of the facility.

Will we stay at this motel again? I'm really unsure. The whole thing makes me ... sad.

Great hotel - until "Vacas" took over

Stayed for a long weekend.  Was a bit worried from some other reviews. Once we arrived any fears went away. Our room was excellent,  fairly new remodel it appeared. The location was just superb,  right on beach, ocean, truly oceanfront. Enjoyed 2 beautiful sunsets. A few markets nearby for anything needed. Close to some nice sites, lighthouses etc.
Also, was pet friendly,  many people had their dogs, as we did. 

Other all, a great place to stay and visit.

September getaway

Such a disappointment! We booked them based on the photos of sliding doors opening to a patio on the beach. What we got was Unit 8, which is an offset unit that is in front of the building. The patio we got opens to the side of the building along the neighboring properties fence. A tiny slice of ocean view can be seen, but you have to bear looking at the outdoor showers while doing so.
The unit has one small window which we cannot even open, if we wanted privacy, as the stairs from the second floor units is about 4 feet from it. Some view!
Honestly, we drove 6 hours to get there and if we were not so tired, we would have gone up and left! Instead we were forced to pay for the night.
You can tell there have been problems with this unit before as we barely had to ask for a refund of the other 4 days we wanted to stay. As polite as the staff has been (Jocy and Jasmin) , it was not worth to pay over $400 for what essentially is a dark box, an evening full of aggravation and a ruined vacation. We really feel we have an argument to get a full refund even on the night we stayed as it was a total BAIT AND SWITCH, but we did stay.
And as an additional tip, if you happen to have people above you who like to pace around at night, you cannot just hear it but actually feel the vibration of their steps as well. Our upstairs neighbor finally quit pacing about when my husband finally yelled from our bed for them to please stop after midnight.

Bait and Switch

These apartments are great (slightly dated) but a wonderful location 3 miles from Provincetown in North Truro. Our room 214 was on the second floor with 2 double beds, shower room and a useful kitchenette, but no dishwasher. The views from the balcony are fabulous and the heating/aircon  efficient. The block has its own private beach with chairs, tables and a fire pit. So why only 3 stars? The block has recently been acquired by Vacasa. We booked before this via Booking.com. Despite having paid in full weeks before we were kept waiting outside for 90 minutes whilst the two companies sorted out the money. Vacasa’s automated system could not issue a door entry code until the payment was transferred to them by booking.com. Promised contact from Vacasa to ‘compensate us’ has yet to materialise. So 5 stars for the apartments and zero for Vacasa.

We booked this for a quick getaway weekend to the outer Cape.  It's on the bus line to Provincetown, and close to the surrounding beaches.  The room was clean, had a kitchenette, and opened to the bay beach where they had grills, tables, adirondacks, and a gas fire pit.  The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly as well.  This is the perfect spot for a vacation on the outer Cape.

Great Weekend Getaway close to Ptown

We had a wonderful stay with our golden retriever at Sandbars Inn. So close to Provincetown with everything it has to offer and calm and relaxing when we were at the hotel. The best of both worlds! We hope to be back next season! 

Wonderful stay

What a charming spot. It is right on the beach. The rooms were clean and cozy. the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable with four pillows to chose from on each one. We even had REAL flowers on the room. Dogs are welcome too, though I didn't bring mine at the last minute because of a rainy forecast. A sliding door out to the beach. Outside table and chairs for dining. Fire pit out in the sand for all to enjoy.
