PERCHED ATOP THE DRAMATIC COASTAL BLUFF ON CAPE COD BAY IN TRURO, OUR BELOVED COTTAGE HAS A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF THE OUTERMOST "ARM" OF THE CAPE AND ALL OF CAPE COD BAY. THE SUNSETS ACROSS THE WATER BEHIND THE LIGHTS OF PROVINCETOWN.
Charming two story two bath fisherman's cottage with historic charm -- white-washed beamed ceiling, and antique claw foot tub, marble sink. Second floor living room has 14 feet of glass looking doors looking out over the water. Fireplace and large deck off of the living room. The view is breathtaking all day and into the night, with the lights of Provincetown reflected across the Bay. It is truly a beach paradise.
As of this posting, we have only the following weeks available: THE WEEKS OF JULY 15, JULY 22, AND POSSIBLY THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5. THE AVERAGE RATE IN THE SUMMER SEASON IS $3800. The house has two queen beds and a queen size pull-out sofa. It sleeps up to six people.
When I designed and built the fisherman's cottage 30 years ago, I used antique timbers, fixtures and doors to give the house the warmth and a sense of the architectural history of the Cape. The exposed beams and simple screened farmer's porch are typical of rural New England as well as the Cape.
For privacy, one bedroom and bath are on the second floor, while the other bedroom and bath are on the first floor. For extra guests, there is a comfortable QUEEN SIZE PULL-OUT sofa in the living room.
The kitchen is newly renovated and has a big round butcher block dining table with seating for 6 or so. You may also choose to eat outside on the patio using the wrought iron dining set, or on the lawn, overlooking all of Cape Cod Bay and the outermost ''arm'' of the Cape.
The house has a yard that extends right up to the edge of the bluff, where you look down to the sandy beach below and out across all of Cape Cod Bay and the entire ''arm'' of the Cape.
The house shares an acre of bluff and waterfront with our other cottage - a low-slung antique Sears ''kit house,'' assembled here in 1902.
You are welcome to use the beach shed at the bottom of our private beach stairs to store your beach chairs, umbrellas, floats and kids toys for the week -- no need to shlep the up and down the stairs each day.
With a little luck, you will spot whales out in the Bay from the living room or the yard and patio.
GOLFERS! The stunning Highland Golf Links are a mile from us -- just across the narrow neck of Truro from Bay to Atlantic sides.
We love all dogs, but we can only welcome certain dogs to stay in the cottage. Please ask us about your canine family member. So sorry but we cannot welcome your feline family member.
Long weekend stays are possible from October through April. Please ask about nightly rate for short stays.
