Relaxed and ready to return.....

I always read reviews before I book, so after reviewing these reviews & seeing the picures we booked this home and are so happy we did! We were looking for a peaceful, relaxing weekend away to celebrate our 10 yr wedding anniversary & this ended up being all that we wanted it to be & more. The home is warm and inviting, extremely clean, well decorated and has a wonderful floor plan. It is in a very quiet area- I think maybe 1 or 2 cars passed the house the entire weekend! Yet you are only 2 or 3 minutes at the most to Corn Hill & Great Hollow beaches which were very nice, clean beaches. Trust me when I say you won't want to get out of bed in the morning- the King size bed is sooo comfortable & the bedding is very soft -nice higher thread count sheets and comforters & pillows fluffy! The wrap around porch is so relaxing to just sit and enjoy your coffee in the morning or wine in the evening! We would turn on the awesome stero/surround sound in the evening -pop in a nice cd and go hang on the porch and listen to the music & chill watching the sunset. The sunsets can be seen best though from the "Sunset Bedroom"- excellent view and what vivid pinks & oranges in the night sky! There is a wonderful farmers market with excellent organic produce & a fresh fish market just right around the corner- we enjoyed fresh salmon & salads with local ingredients a couple of nights. The house is only 8 miles from Provincetown too which is convenient. The owner is wonderful at offering suggestions for dining, etc- she even called and made reservations for us one night at The Mews and it was wonderful! She was also helpful in getting our beach pass as you need one to get onto the private beaches in the area- it is supposed to be $30 for a week pass but we were only charge $20. Longnook Beach was our favorite- beautiful white soft sand, cool sand dunes & beautiful water-waves were cool-alot of surfers were ridin' the waves! All in all this is up there with one of our favorite vacations. Truro is a wonderful little town-very quaint, the people are friendly, beautiful beaches, great for biking & hiking or doing absolutely nothing but just sitting back & relaxing. We will definately be renting this property again. We want to give a special thanks to the owner Melanie for sharing her beautiful home, keeping it extremely clean & being so friendly and helpful. If you are looking at this rental- you will NOT be disappointed- what you see is exactly what you get- picture perfect!

Wow, was this a wonderful last minute escape for us! We visited during Labor Day weekend with our 2 kids (6 and 3) and a grandparent. The house is nestled among trees with a view of the bay and unsurpassed privacy. Inside, it is immediately inviting with a sunny, airy interior, wonderfully appointed furnishings including Cape-inspired modern artwork. No lace doilies or dusty fake floral arrangements here. The owner not only has a tasteful eye but she is welcoming, friendly, and she exudes an owner's pride throughout the house. Perfectly located near the beach and 6 so you can get anywhere easily from here...or not, and be in the most peaceful, tranquil of surroundings. It's exactly as pictured, if not better.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay in this beautiful house. It is spacious, light and airy and very comfortable. The beds were made up and it was spotlessly clean.. The windows are all screened and there were cool breezes through the house so sleeping was very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and we used the large gas BBQ a lot. The owner is friendly and very helpful. I was visiting with my husband and 3 kids aged 20, 18 and 16 - the magnificent TV and Hifi was much appreciated. We made a decision not to take a laptop (despite having WiFi in house) - there is an internet cafe in P'town but it was always busy and the 2 computers were very slow so we wished we had taken our own. The beaches are beautiful - we preferred the atlantic beaches (max 5 minutes drive) but the bayside are slightly closer and more sheltered. It was great to have beach chairs and towels provided. Local shops and restaurants are all useful and high quality. The Sunday changeover day was good as it meant the long traffic delays going in and out on Saturdays were avoided and traffic is not a problem on other days. The access to P'town is easy and takes 10-15 minutes. Altogether a good and memorable choice - I will be wishing myself back on that peaceful porch again very soon!

We rented this home for one week with our 9 and 12 year old kids in July. Sunny days were spent on one of the incredible beaches nearby, or walking and cycling at Provincetown (only 8 Km away). Rainy days were spent reading, using fully equipped home movie (flat screen) and wi fi access with our computer, going to local attractions and eating good seafood.

The house is great, nothing is missing, and it is nicely decorated, to encourage relaxing and feeling like we're home. Luxury for a week in an enchanted site, with birds, flowers, and everyting we needed. Very nice week at Truro.

We stayed here 6/22-6/29/09. The weather was not the best, but we had a great time anyway. The house is very clean, contemporary, and well appointed. Beautiful front porch for reading and sipping coffee in the morning. Lovely sunroom off the kitchen. Large plasma TV and surround sound were enjoyed by our teenagers. Great Hollow bay beach in walking distance. 10 min drive to ocean beaches - Ballston was our favorite. There is a seafood shop and farm stand 2 minutes from the house - they steam the lobsters for you and you can purchase salad makings from the farm stand. Fabulous biking from the house out Shore Rd to Provincetown and on to Race Point. I will definitely rent this property again.

The lovely, open design of this house makes it very comfortable. We felt at home immediately. The decor complements the design and enhances the relaxed feeling. My favorite part was the large inviting porch which stayed dry during rainstorms and was bug free. We visited during an uncharacteristically wet and cold week, but still enjoyed our vacation. The top notch home theater got more use due to the weather. The owner genuinely cares about her renters and offers great suggestions of restaurants and activities when asked. The quiet streets led to beautiful bay and ocean beaches which we enjoyed on our bicycles. Truro's rolling terrain is ideal for bike riding.

My wife and I stayed here for three fabulous weeks for the first time last summer. Took us 30 seconds car ride to be at Great Hollow beach,where we spent most days.Late afternoons we would sit on the covered porch enjoying our martinis or using the rather large gas grill to make dinner. Kitchen is very well stocked for cooking inside or out.The house is free of clutter and we loved the hardwood floors everywhere.The owner left very nice artwork on the walls....all in all, a beautiful house.Exceptionally clean and loved the layout. Guest room upstairs so lots of privacy when our two friends joined us for a few days.

In between Wellfleet and Provincetown,so lots of close options for nightlife.Highly recommend the nearby fish market-we had lobsters steamed at the market several times,and used the grill for swordfish and tuna steaks.Being from Nova Scotia,we KNOW our seafood !Wonderful produce market within a minute drive.We loved for restaurents Black Fish in Truro,Jimmy's Hideaway in Ptown,and Winslow Tavern in Wellfleet. A real fun adventure was Art's Dune tours as well as whalewatching in Ptown. We are making plans to stay in this house every summer from now on,having rented many other places in Truro over the years.This home has won our hearts and our vacation dollars. Very peaceful gardens,tho I had to water the beds...no big deal. My wife loved the daylilies that can be seen from the porch.

No traffic on the road as it is on a cul de sac and only 4 other houses well spaced from this location. Very very private place.
