Photos and Description of the Provincetown vacation cottage rental
Delightful one room cottage with sleeping loft with queen mattress

Situated in Provincetown's historic West End, this classic free-standing cottage recalls the days of the sleepy fishing village and artist colony that is quintessential Old Cape Cod. The larger of two cottages, it is nestled in a secluded garden off of quiet Mechanic Street. Step foot onto the large deck and landscaped patio to relax in the Adirondack chairs. Open the door to discover a bright and airy space under the peaked roof. Tastefully updated with bead board ceilings and hardwood floors, the living area includes a love seat for intimate conversations. Prepare cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the galley kitchen then enjoy a romantic dinner in the separate dining area. Climb the ladder to the sleeping loft with its queen size mattress for two. The fully appointed bathroom includes a shower stall and a washer/dryer. Enjoy all the comforts of home and be just a few steps away from shopping, restaurants, bars and entertainment on Commercial Street or a short stroll to the sandy beach. Please see the reviews from our previous guests and enjoy our video tour to fully appreciate this little bit of Provincetown heaven.

Perfect Cottage in Ideal Location

5 of 5
Submitted: January 1, 2013 Stayed: June 2012
I had the good fortune to spend a good part of the summer in this delightful cottage. I made all the arrangements with Steve, the owner, who was very easy to work with. He was patient with my questions and quick to respond to my every need. The cottage is a free standing building that shares a garden with another, slightly smaller cottage. Located in the West End, the location is just far enough away from the central part of town to feel quiet and private but it is only a five minute walk away from the heart of Provincetown dining, shopping, and art galleries. There is a small beach just two blocks down the street and Herring Cove beach is just ten minutes away by bike. With such a great location, we had no need for a car all summer. The cottage itself is ideal for two people. It is immaculately clean, roomy and comfortable. The sleeping loft is easy to access by ladder. The kitchen was a perfect size and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The best part is the deck and garden patio. I highly recommend it as a great spot to sip your morning coffee or enjoy an after-beach cocktail. I look forward to spending more time at this cottage in the future. Unfortunately, I'll only be able to spend one, as opposed to many weeks there this summer. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Cute Cottage Gem with Perfect Location

5 of 5
Submitted: September 20, 2011 Stayed: September 2011
We visit P'town all the time and often we stay in larger home rentals with other couples. This time it was just the two of us and I must say that 12 1/2 Mechanic Street is pretty unbeatable.

The location in the West End is phenomenal. We picked up bikes for trail riding and the beach but rarely needed them for town. It was faster to walk than to ride in and lock up the bikes in most cases. It's just a couple of streets west of Perry's Wine Shop if that helps, landmark wise.

The cottage is spotless, well-appointed and thoughtfully organized from a spatial standpoint. I had concerns about the loft before I got there but it turned out to be cozy and a non-issue.

We struggled at times to connect to the local WiFi but worst case, Joe's is just down the street with free WiFi and great coffee.

One of the best features of this little home is the front patio / deck. It's a great place to read a book, drink your morning coffee or relax with friends over a beer.

Highly recommend this place -- particularly during the good weather months -- if you are solo or a couple and want an easy, charming cottage near the heart of town. Great stuff and the landlord, Steve, could not have been nicer or easier to work with...

Loved it!

My partner and I rented this unit for a week and found it a great, quiet yet central location. The property was clean, well equipped (great to have laundry/dryer on site - next time will pack more lightly!) and comfortable. The outdoor sitting area was great. The AC worked well when it was hot and while the bed is in the loft it was very comfortable and airy - and dark for sleeping. The property manager was great - very accessible and answered all our questions. We'd definitely return.

A Little Bit of Provincetown Heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: August 11, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We really enjoyed our week at this recently renovated, free standing cottage in the quiet West End..the location made for wonderful late night walks with my partner..even the scenic 5 minute walk to the shaded parking spot proved to be quite appealing. The cottage's homey interior had ample supplies of linens, towels and cleaning supplies. Having the full kitchen proved to be a great asset, we had many romantic, candlelit meals. Lastly, the owner was always a delight to deal with. We are looking foward to returning to our Little Bit of Provincetown Heaven next year.

Convenient Getaway.

5 of 5
Submitted: July 23, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
This small cottage is packed with everything you need for the week....without feeling packed in. I found the cottage to have everything a busy traveler needs. The kitechen is basic but is layed out well...its perfect for some quick meals. The bathroom has plenty of counter space and a washer/dryer combo which allows for light packing, The living area had good storage for clothing.

Now I was concerned about using the loft...I'm no spring chicken...but it was manageable and reasonable....just make sure you have what you need before you head up or down.

The setting itself was terrific as it is set back off the street which is one of the quieter ones. The walk to town was a breeze but if I wanted to stay in the neighborhood it was entirely possible with Perry's, Relish and Sal's Place all a short walk away. Hope to return again.
