Great staff. Answered all my questions before my visit.The location is super, hidden gem. Close to many great restaurants.I had been to Eastham many times, and I just learned about it. Very cool vibe, unique vintage decor, not super modern, but I prefer the unique.vintage. Great patio in back too. Super relaxing.

If you stay at a regular hotel or inn I feel safe and quiet but not inspired or fun. Rugosa has fun in its soul. Our room had curated art and just beautiful stuff. It was like walking into the mind of an artist--expressive and non-judgemental--I felt like I was in my home. Sure, there is a kitchen, good coffee, beautiful grounds and pets are welcome--but the soul of Rugosa is art and love. Thanks Joey and Luna.

Golden Girls Birthday Getaway

We were a party of three seniors celebrating two birthdays for the weekend. I found The Rugosa Guest House on line and we were all pleasantly surprised. At first sight it’s a little eccentric but in a whimsical way. Joey greeted us upon our arrival and couldn’t have been more helpful. We booked a 2 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bath suite (but could have done without the jacuzzi next to the king size bed :>)). Our rooms were very clean and provided ample fresh linens. Our suite was very comfortable….including the beds! We also had a small balcony which overlooked the pool area.

Almost Perfect!

Overall the experience was great. Just a few minor adjustment would have earned five stars from me. The little freezer in the kitchen needs severe defrosting. It literally looked like items trapped in a tiny glacier. The Keurig coffee maker probably needs to be descaled. It doesn’t dispense the appropriate water no matter which setting is selected. Had to run it at least twice for the same pod. The Xifinity remote is missing a few buttons. While most things could probably be selected using the voice command option, navigating using the arrow buttons is impossible. A simple call to the cable company should easily fix this, even if they charge for a new one. The floor in Room 1 was a little dirty, but only noticed when walking barefoot. And there was still some trash from a previous guest in the bathroom bin. The hot water for the shower was limiting. The place overall was full of charm with its tchotchkes and eclectic artwork throughout. It felt like staying in the house of a favorite relative.

We were just there for one night after the Wellfleet Oyster Festival. Off season, we were one of 2-3 rooms. We were surprised with a free upgrade to the Captains Quarters. Big room with 4-poster bed and in-room jacuzzi. Very cool building inside and out. Lovely place, tons of original artwork everywhere, relaxed with morning coffee in the sunny living room among the artwork, sculptures, plants, high beams and leather couches. Our kind of place.
