February School Vacation

For families, February school vacation is an opportunity to get away from the routines and spend quality time together. Cape Cod is a quick and affordable getaway. Bring the family to the Tidewater and enjoy our oversized indoor pool and hot tub. The weather has been so mild that families are also enjoying our picnic area and playground with its beautiful view of Mill Pond.  With our Manager's Special, The Tidewater is offering a very affordable getaway:

Sunday - Thursday $59.99 plus tax
Friday & Saturday $79.99 plus tax ($69.99 if staying 2 nights or more)

We are also offering our Family Fun Package which is a great way to spend the day with the kids:
bowling and fun at Ryan Family Amusement. It includes 8 games of bowling, 4 bowling shoe rentals, and 40 tokens for video games. Come back to the hotel and order a large pizza with 2 toppings. This is all for the low price of $225 inclusive of taxes!

Of course, you can relax around the pool or soak in the hot tub as you watch the kids swim in the pool. But there's also lots of activities for children and families during the week of February School Vacation. I will be listing some options that are family friendly. Of course, with this unseasonably warm weather, there's nothing better than a hike or walk on the beach with the kids. I'll be sure to keep you posted as I discover new activities.
