| 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.
The
Even'tide isn't your ordinary Cape Cod
motel 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 a
number of motels. 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 motels 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 motel
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 13 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:
- family
suites: added
microwaves
-
new furniture in our rooms with two double beds
-
added a 2 bedroom suite with kitchen and 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
-
wireless internet
access now available in the
lobby, dial up available in rooms
-
redesigned
and updated our website. A
special thanks to our webmaster
Armand Audette of
audette
internet solutions.
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.
