Sea Scape - Mashpee

[timeshare trader]

Hi,

Just got back from Seascape in Mashpee where we stayed 6/22-29. We had a two bedroom which was better than expected. Granted my expectations were very low but, the room was clean, the kitchen was large the bedrooms were adequate and the bathrooms fine. The resort was somewhat outdated which I expected being in the cape. There is an outdoor pool, an indoor pool. I would not use the indoor pool. the space not surprisingly had an overwhelming chlorine smell and that is where the hot tub was located.

Laundry was on-site and not in the room.

Nearby there were ample restaurants, shopping etc. I would stay again but, already have a request in for next year in what I hope are better accommodations.

This was my first trip to the cape and I was blown away by the beauty of the beaches, the nature, the quaintness etc.

The Cape is indeed extraordinarily beautiful. But it has undergone some significant changes over the decades in terms of who drives down and crosses the Bourne Bridge for a Saturday or Sunday "beach day".

It used to be KIds Nation. Hundreds and hundreds of kids. You'd meet Canadian kids speaking French and laughingly try your best to communicate via sign language and funny facial expressions. You'd meet kids from Ireland or Northern Ireland or Italy who were visiting American family members for the Summer...and learn via a shocked facial expression not to say, in response to a kid from Northern Ireland who tells you he's from "Derry", "do you mean "Londonderry"? Indeed, the official name of his city was Londonderry but don't you ever repeat that to an Irish Catholic.

It was kids paradise, never again to arise again now that our birth rate is rock bottom low.

Nobody's having kids like, for example, the Wholeys in my neighborhood, who had seventeen.

What II or RCI resort code is this?

The only thing I wanted to add to this discussion is that the Armed Forces Vacation Club has a large number of Cape "last call prices" listings. But, unlike RCI's last call that only goes 45 days out, you can reserve a week many months in the future for a "next to nothing" weekly rate.

If they had any summer listings, they're probably not there now. But September October November listings? They've got 'em now. 18 different resorts at the moment.

What's the Cape like "offseason"? Still beautiful. September still hot. October still get an occasional 80 plus degree day. November starting to get cooler and perhaps even cold. The Cape isn't tourist/summer beachgoer and "top prospects" summer league baseball country any more, but is simply where people live, work, go to Cape public schools, go to Cape Cod Community College.

But oh those dunes are breathtaking. And the whale watching tours continue throughout the entire month of October. Since colder water probably reduces available fish to feed upon, the number of whales probably start tapering off as the weather gets colder but it looks like October is still relatively warm water temperature time.

The seafood and other type restaurants are still great and relatively uncrowded.

Provincetown is still as gay as ever and will afford you the opportunity to watch some wild shows.

And assuming you're not miles and miles "inland" in the Cape, it's not a bad launching point for a day or days in Boston. And if you don't mind paying for a ferry, that too will get you into downtown Boston, even from (and especially from) the very tip of the Cape in Provincetown.

So what about the Armed Forces Vacation Club? It earns money by linking people with resorts that have units that would otherwise likely be empty. As such, I'm not sure you "have" to be a veteran. Supposedly, it's just for veterans and their family members, one generation up or down. But I happen to be a former Marine Corps infantryman and don't remember their having asked me for my id.me credentials. Merely had me check off what branch of the service and whether or not I was a member of some kind of veterans group (like the Marine Corps League). I didn't have to scan anything, didn't have to email anything, and when I've stayed at a resort that I booked through them, no one's ever asked me for my veterans ID.

Just saying.

At one point there was proof of service required but, you no longer need to provide...

It's Sea Mist, not Seascape. That's why people are having trouble finding the resort info. We stayed there last September. We thought the units were nice and loved the short walk to the shopping center. So convenient for going out to eat!
