Welcome to our Cape Cod Oceanfront Bed & Breakfast
Inn on the Sound is a jewel set in destination Falmouth – one of the most popular beach communities on Cape Cod. High on a bluff, our inn offers stunning ocean views. From our decks, guests may capture the sunrise and the sunset; moon rise and moon set; the calm waters on the sound between the upper Cape and the island of Martha’s Vineyard.
We welcome guests year round. The natural beauty of the Cape is on display in all seasons. We are steps from the Falmouth Heights beach, a favorite sunbathing spot. We have front-row seating for the annual Fourth of July fireworks. In cooler months, guests enjoy the roaring fire in our common room. And in deep winter, the Inn’s library provides solace and a place for introspection after a day of beach combing. (Like us on Facebook and stay up to date with local happenings!)
