Green Harbor On the Ocean

We were there for a short two days stay in early June and everything was perfect. When we arrived we learned that we were placed in an upper level room so I asked to be arrange in the main level since we have kids and a disabled person. The staff happily moved us to the lower level suites facing the Bay Area and made sure to place a handicap sign for a parking spot right outside our cottage room. Our suite was neat and clean. It has two bedrooms, one with two queen beds and a walk-​in full bath, the other room has two twin beds and a shared full bath by the kitchen. This space was comfortable for 4 adults and 2 kids, but could even fit more if needed. The kitchen has a full size fridge, stove and dishwasher. Utensils and dishes were very clean and have a good variety of sizes. The kitchen has a dining table that fits 4 people and the living room has a couch and two armchairs. The suites also has a walk out patio with 3 patio chairs and a charcoal grill. We did a lot of grilling while we were there. We bought some lobster and seafood at the fish pier market in Chatham and grill them in the afternoon. It was wonderful. the kids and grandma enjoyed the beach a lot, they even caught some snails, clams and blue crabs by the bay area. There’s also a playground for the kids to play by the beach. The beach is clean and shallow so you feel safe if you have kids. Also the road leading to the resort is a little secluded so you can let the kids roam around. The facility also have free bike to rent out and have charcoal in the supply room that you could use. Overall a very pleasant experience at the resort for a very affordable weekday price ($ 169/​night).

I like that it’s on the ocean and appears to have a lot of activities for families. Generally, I enjoyed our stay, but the cottage for 6 was TINY. Like hardly manageable it was so small. It was nice to have a deck though.
It seems to make more sense to just rent a cottage elsewhere for the same price.

I just spent 5 nights with my wife and 3yo daughter. My initial phone reservation was good, but upon arrival we discovered that our requested waterfront room (which we paid extra for) had been allocated to someone else. Fortunately, we were still able to get the waterfront room because the other guest had not checked in yet, but we were not notified of the change prior to our arrival. We were shocked that they would have changed our room type without notifying us via email or phone to see if we were still interested in staying at this location. Chances are we would have opted for a refund and gone somewhere else — maybe not.
Once we checked in, our expectations were met but nothing too out of the ordinary. Bed was so-​so, amenities offered were also so-​so. We found it annoying that the staff were constantly diving their golf carts in front of our window — for no apparent reason. In my mind, they should have been going around the back to ensure they aren’t being too intrusive.
We also had a situation during our stay whereby a police office came to our door at 8pm to ask if we had small children (which we do!) and to check if any bathing suits were missing as they had just apprehended a convicted child predator who passed out in his vehicle and who had young girl’s bathing suits in his truck. I know the hotel cannot control this but this was extremely upsetting and nerve racking! The staff never contacted us to address this issue. In my mind, the situation was handled unprofessional by lodge staff.
In short, if you are planning on staying in West Yarmouth this is a decent choice provided you’re not particular about the room type — and will accept what is given to you at the time of check-​in. But there are many nicer options — so homework is recommended.

initially we rented a small two bedroom house but when we arrived we were not happy there were noise children next door and a barking dog so we went back to the office and spoke to the host Eugenie Schott who offered us another unit which was nicer and in a better location for the same price. Great customer service but then these managers have been there for 30+ years!
Our upstairs two bedroom condo had two bathrooms, a kitchen and a balcony overlooking the yard and water. We were near the pool but the weather was not good enough for us to go enjoy the use of it but it looked like a nice large pool.
location was great for going out and about during the day to sightsee close to stores and restaurants.
Definately a jewel.

Best place ! Kids camp from 9 – 1. Heated pool, on the beach, own condo/​apt with kitchen. Perfect for families!

This place is really cool. Actually feels like home away from home. Very clean, animal and people friendly, excellent customer service, and very fair prices.
It has a nice habitat and activities for kids. Very warm pool, bicycles, canoes and boats to borrow; all included in price. Plus a grill. My wife and kids loved it. I’ll definitely come back and I recommend it to all singles and families.

I have 3 criteria for a good hotel: a good bed, clean, and a coffee maker. Everything else is extra. GHR was spotless, there was a coffee maker, and the people there were very nice. The beds, however, weren’t my favorite.

This place is absolutely amazing. All of the staff are incredibly nice. It is located in a kind of residential area, so nice and quiet, but only 2 miles from Main street. I rode a bike to Main street and it only took me about 15 minutes. The view is absolutely breathtaking. All facilities are very clean, and you have everything you need to have a great stay. There’s even rocking chairs on the beach, as well as a playground, toys for kids. I will definitely be back!

My family rented an entire cottage for a few nights. Mid-​week at the end of May, the rate was extremely reasonable. I think it was less than $ 200/​night. Two bedrooms, each with two full beds. Full bathroom upstairs. Downstairs, a half bath, and a living room with a Murphy bed and a pull out couch. There were only 4 of us, but it would have slept much more. Kitchen had a full refrigerator, dish washer, microwave, stove, coffee pot, dishes, pots and pans. Kitchen table sat 6. Full deck with 3 beach chairs and a patio set that sat 6 too, with an umbrella.
You sit up in bed each morning to a view of the water, absolutely beautiful. Pool on site looked clean and well kept, and the beach area was the same. The resort provides beach chairs and also has a great playground for kids. Housekeeping was excellent!
Tons of parking, and each cottage has it’s own charcoal grill. Could not have asked for more out of this mini vacation. We stayed the last few days of May but were lucky to have a few super sunny days in the 80s. Perfect. I will be back!

For a family vacation this is the absolute ideal place. It is part of the Red Jacket Reorts chain which are in Cape Cod and NH. We rented a «Cape Codder» which in the middle of the week in mid May was only $ 90 a night. Our studio cottage included a queen bed, couch, chair, coffee table, tv, kitchenette (with all necessities) including a mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven and coffee pot and a small dining table. We had our own deck with chaise lounges and deck chairs with a view of the water which was absolutely beautiful. Although the weather was chilly and gray we made use of the outside facilities too. There is a heated, well kept pool, mini golf, shuffle board, bike rentals (even baby seats and helmets for all), a private beach with available lounge chairs, and a playground (structure and swings) which our son loved. The grounds are amazingly maintained and the views are gorgeous. From the beach you can watch boats and ferries leaving the harbor. In additon the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Only suggestion would be a décor update in the rooms. Minor compared to all of the positives.
