“A Gem in a charming town”

After many trips to Ptown, we finally found our home base. A lovely house with charming decor and welcoming hosts. We look forward to returning in the spring.

“Loved staying here!”

We stayed for 4 nights and will definitely recommend it to friends. Warm welcome, cozy rooms, delicious breakfast at a large kitchen table where you can chat with other guests, hot tub, multi-level decks to relax on, and a great location in the west end of Provincetown on a quiet side street. No regrets; we will return soon!

“Keith and Mark Rock!!!!”

I stayed with my girlfriend at the Beacon Light House last Memorial Day weekend 2008 and we had the best time of our lives again. We also stayed there the same weekend in 2007 and plan to make it a yearly trip. Keith and Mark make it so easy to want to come back and stay at their guesthouse. Besides being absolutely fabulous, they have the most darling house boys every year and keep their home super clean. They also have the best rooftop deck in Provincetown. They also have a very nice happy hour each year that allows guests to mingle. In that hour we get to chat with them and get to know them a little better. The happy hour is really awesome. I loved both of my stays at the Beacon Light House. Each year it just gets better and I truly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, clean, and friendly environment to stay while vacationing.

“The Beaconlight is my home away from home”

Ptown is my favorite destination and the Beaconlight has been my home away from home for over 5 years. The suites offer all the comforts of home. The furnishings match the historic feel of the house. The many decks provide cozy spots to read in the shade or sunbathe. The rooftop deck offers a 360 degree view of the town and surroundings, perfect for watching weather roll in or enjoying stunning sunsets. The hosts are warm and welcoming, always willing to share local insider tips. Mark's gardening is impeccable and Keith's homemade morning treats are amazing; only the freshest ingredients are used. Try the Beaconlight on your next trip and I bet you'll make it an annual pilgrimage. For off-season trips, there is no better place. They are open year-round and offer deep discounts for fall or winter getaways.
