West Hyannisport occupies less than 0.2 square miles on Cape Cod's southern shore in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. This tiny coastal enclave has 297 year-round residents and 321 total housing units, but 174 of those homes (54%) are used only seasonally. During summer months, the population swells dramatically as vacation homeowners arrive from New England and beyond.
The West Hyannisport post office maintains 411 PO Boxes for just 134 occupied households. That's a 3.07x adoption rate, one of the highest on Cape Cod. This isn't because residents lack street delivery options. It's because seasonal homeowners need year-round mail access. A PO Box stays active whether the owner is in residence or not, allowing mail to accumulate safely until the next visit. Property managers, rental agencies, and estate caretakers also maintain boxes to handle mail for multiple properties.
Craigville Beach Road dominates the street network with 44 ZIP+4 records, including multi-unit seasonal cottages. The beach-oriented street names and compact 0.2 square mile footprint confirm this community's character: a classic Cape Cod beach village where summer cottages cluster near the shore. With a median age of 50.8 years and 70% of occupied homes owner-occupied (94 of 134), this is a community of established vacation property owners, not transient renters.
Despite having some city and rural carrier routes serving street addresses, West Hyannisport is classified as a PO Box Only Zone by USPS. That designation affects not just residents but also the 14 business establishments and 53 business delivery points in the area. Many seasonal businesses, beach clubs, and service providers rely on PO Boxes because their operations are seasonal and street delivery doesn't align with their business calendars.
Street network centers on Craigville Beach Road with beach and coastal nature names throughout.
