About Us
Hello & Welcome
My
name is Bob and I have just about the
best job in the world. First, I get to
live in this most magnificent corner of
New England and I get to share it with
others who appreciate the beauty of the
Cape Cod National Seashore. I hope my
love of the Cape Cod area, and of the
Even'tide (short for Evening Tide), is
contagious and some of my enthusiasm will
rub off on you.
One of the more satisfying aspects of my job is when first-time visitors become repeat customers, repeat customers turn into regular customers and all the while, everyone is becoming friends. Actually, meeting nice people from all over the world is what makes my daily life interesting and fun. My wife, Donna an I truly appreciate all the wonderful people we've met over the past ten years and look forward to seeing everyone return year after year.
The
Even'tide isn't your ordinary Cape Cod
hotel and cottage complex. We are family
operated and family built (all the
buildings including the indoor pool, and
much of the furniture was hand made). The
fine workmanship is a testimonial to the
hard work and skill of the late owner,
Richard Filliman. He was so concerned
about noise that he built two separate
insulated walls between the rooms to
ensure his guest's comfort.
The Even'tide also has a separate building that consists of 16 rooms with only one queen or king bed. This ensures that, even in the height of the summer season, couples can enjoy a quiet stay away from families with active children.
I
have traveled a bit and have stayed in many hotels. I know that the biggest
mistake that someone can make, if he or
she is looking for accommodations on Cape
Cod, is to figure that all hotels are
basically the same. They are not. Here,
being so close to sea-level, if a motel
room is built on a concrete slab, then
the room can't help but smell musty.
Visitors who have stayed in such a hotel
may think that all rooms by the sea must
smell like that. They do not. The rooms
at The Even'tide all have basements under
them which provide adequate ventilation.
Another benefit of The Even'tide is the former owner Lisa, who is the housekeeping inspector (among other jobs). She is one stickler for detail. No one will ever be disappointed with our cleanliness. I'm certain of that point.
Our 60 foot long indoor pool has a water temperature somewhere between 82 and 86 degrees and is the largest indoor motel pool on Cape Cod. Amy, my 15 year old daughter, can often be found there and she loves to make friends.
In
a continuing effort to upgrade and
improve our facility, we've recently
completed the following renovations:
- wireless internet access now available in all rooms
- family suites: new vanities and bathroom lighting
- new carpeting in 10 motel rooms
- new windows and siding in Kingfisher house
- new deck and slider on Seagull cottage
- new kitchens in Sandpiper and Ebbtide cottage
- chickadee-brighter, completely renovated living room
- all cottages now have air conditioning
- pool table and work out equipment-multi station weight machine, pec machine, and stationary bike available for those over 18
- redesigned and updated our website. A special thanks to Cole web design.
Whether you plan on staying at the Even'tide for a day, a week, or even longer, I'm sure you'll find everything you need to make your vacation enjoyable and memorable for years to come.
