Fall asleep each evening to the sounds of Cape Cod Bay rolling onto the nearby shore at this charming cottage in North Truro. Private and atmospheric, this is a place for mornings spent walking to the beach, afternoons of soaking up the sun on the deck, and evenings out and about in nearby Provincetown.
This quaint cottage is one of 10 in a tranquil community on the Outer Cape, one that spans just over five acres of the Truro Highlands. Both bay and ocean beaches are close by, with the bay a half-mile stroll to the west and Head of the Meadow Beach on the ocean two miles east. You can walk to one of the local restaurants in Truro or hop on the shuttle to Provincetown that stops near the end of the driveway.
Surrounded by pitch pine and coastal shrubs, this cottage offers a remarkably private setting for spending time outdoors. Bring your morning coffee out to the deck, listen to the sounds of the bay through the trees, and grab a swimsuit from the clothesline for a day at the beach. In the afternoon, rinse off in the outdoor shower (with hot water!), indulge in a nap in the hammock, and sit down for a sunset dinner at the picnic table.
Architect-designed to maximize its 300 square feet, the cottage features wonderful cross-ventilation, lofty ceilings, and a skylight that fills the space with sunshine. Enjoy a coastal kitchen where you can flip pancakes made with freshly picked blueberries, a dining table, and a sitting area with a cable TV. Complimentary WiFi is provided as well.
THINGS TO KNOW There is no AC, but there are four fans to circulate the sea breeze. There is no washer/dryer. Per the HOA, this is a no-smoking cottage and community.

This was my first time in the area and this stay definitely helped me want to come back. This cottage was cute and tucked in between some trees and bushes making it a great spend the weekend to relax and enjoy time outside. It was conveniently close to Provincetown and Truro Vineyards was nearby as well. I would stay again and would recommend this place. Thank you!

The cottage had most things needed for my stay, including quiet.
We drove in from out of state and arrived at night so it was dark. The location was very hard to find. The map from the vacasa site brought us to the completely wrong side of the road. Had to contact vacasa just to help us find the place. I would suggest a more prominent sign for people unfamiliar with the area to have better guidance. Other than that the cottage was very cute and was exactly as advertised. Would definitely stay again now that I know where it is.
The inside was not what was depicted or described. Best described as rustic. Pots, pans, dishes, glasses were dirty and poor shape. They promised cool ocean breezes and use of four fans. It was hot as hell and only 2 working fans. I saw no easy way to walk to “nearby “ beaches. We left after one night (6 planned)
