The Sea Crest Beach Hotel

Most people don’t think of Cape Cod, Massachusetts as a great winter vacation spot, but for Valentine’s Day weekend, it may be the best spot around.  Even in the winter, it’s incredibly scenic, and February should be a nice and quiet time for a romantic weekend.  In addition, the weather here in Massachusetts has actually been unseasonably warm – so you should be able to walk around town without needing to be completely bundled up.

The Sea Crest Beach Hotel in North Falmouth, MA, is offering an “Escape to the Cape” getaway on Saturday, February 11, 2012.  Guests will enjoy dinner for two at the on-site restaurant Shutters, a delicious chocolate buffet, and breakfast for two on Sunday morning.

Rates for the Sea Crest Beach Hotel’s Valentine’s Day Weekend Package start at $250 including taxes and gratuities.  Additional night stay on Friday, February 10, 2012 is available based on availability starting at $89.

The recently renovated Sea Crest Beach Hotel is located on a private beach in North Falmouth on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  The hotel offers 263 guest rooms and suites, some with fireplaces and water view private balconies, perfect for any romantic getaway.
