My partner and I booked a last minute overnight stay following our Valentines dinner based on the proximity to the restaurant in Dennis (The Pheasant owned by Adam and Erica---which is outstanding and a great romantic dining experience with a truly excellent wine selection!). I found Brewster By The Sea Inn simply by looking for something super close to The Pheasant on Google Maps and I am so grateful we found them because this is now our new favorite Cape Cod staycation destination. Amy, the Innkeeper, returned my call immediately to confirm the bathroom did have a tub and explained that the room I was calling about wasn't available however a larger room with beautiful views of Drummer Boy Park across the street was available and at a discounted "book direct" rate. She also inquired about any dietary restrictions and what we might prefer for breakfast (savory or sweet options--egg bakes or french toast for example). She mentioned it may take an hour for the room to be ready and we were not in a rush so this was perfect and when we did arrive we were very impressed with the small touches that she had organized within that hour--fresh tulips, the heat was turned, and there was a welcome packet (including recommended local dining, shopping and day excursions nearby) on the bistro table that had been personalized with our names typed out at the top! So much thought had been put into several details, including signage for how to adjust the heat, how to use the gas fireplace that was on a timer (such a lovely amenity for this winter getaway!), how to reach Amy with any additional questions (via phone or text), and there was a fresh half and half and large bottled waters in the mini fridge for us as well as single servings of the locally roasted Snowy Owl Coffee. In addition, Amy had asked us upon arrival what time we would like our breakfast left at our door the next day and when we settled on 8:30am she said she would have some freshly made coffee brought up at 8:15am, followed by breakfast at 8:30am. The timing was perfect, and can I tell you, as a Les Clefs d'Or Concierge for 10 years in NYC, when I tell you I am not easily impressed...the thing htat stood out to me immediately was that when she brought up our coffee tray, the customized coffee mugs with their logo on them were HEATED. She had pre-heated the mugs so that the hot coffee we poured into them would continue to be as hot as possible. I don't know why this floored me so much, but it did. It felt like a pampered spa moment. I just feel like sometimes the simplest of details make you feel really taken care of and we felt that way from start to finish and cannot wait to recommend and return to Brewster by the Sea Inn again and again.
