Spacious Contemporary, Walk to Private Tru-Haven Beach
SPACIOUS CONTEMPORARY, WALK TO PRIVATE TRU-HAVEN BEACH: Down a private road and surrounded by pine and oak woodlands, this post modern interpretation of a New England salt box cottage is located in a very quiet bayside neighborhood. With cathedral ceilings, the living and dining rooms are combined in an open concept which leads out to a post and beam covered screened porch and expansive deck. The porch/deck feature two additional dining tables, a sectional seating area, gas grill and staircase leading down to the yard. Surrounded by pine and oak trees, the outdoors areas is very quiet and secluded. The sunny kitchen has maple cabinets and is fully equipped. Up 1/2 flight are two bedrooms with cathedral ceilings and a full bath. Up a three step ship's ladder from one of the upper bedrooms, there's a small private study/office loft overlooking the living room. Down 1/2 flight are another two bedrooms and brand new full bath with large custom shower, Down another 1/2 flight is a spacious den with tv, stereo, mud room and walk-out slider to outdoor shower, picnic table and charcoal grill. Walk down gravel road (7 minutes) to private association beach.
Tru-Haven Beach (on Cape Cod Bay) is an easy walk down to the end of Parker Drive. It's a perfect spot for swimming, reading, relaxing with the family and watching the sunset dip below the tip of Long Point. Children will especially enjoy exploring this beach at low tide. Consider returning for cocktails and a beach fire in the evening. The view/lights of Provincetown will provide a beautiful backdrop.
Via car or bike, you'll discover a spectacular selection of ocean beaches (Coast Guard, Longnook and Ballston) and National Seashore trails in Truro. We also have some lovely fresh water ponds near the Truro/Wellfleet town line. Two of our favorites are Ryder and Great Ponds.
Explore the charming old streets of Provincetown (15 minutes by car), you'll find a wonderful selection of restaurants, shops, art galleries and nightclubs. If you don't want to drive, flag down and catch the shuttle bus at the end of our street on Route 6 (check the frequent schedule posted by the front door).
Be sure to also check out the quaint village of Wellfleet. You'll find great shops, galleries, restaurants, a classic fish pier, professional stage company and vintage drive-in movie theater.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by David Hinchen

The Hinchens have been summering in Truro for four generations. Our grandparents first starting renting here (always for the entire summer) in the 1940s. It was an exciting time when we finally built a home in 1978. Since then, we having continued to improve and update the property while maintaining a decidedly "cottage feel." Like all families, our lives are constantly evolving and changing, but this place remains a constant.
Why they chose this property
Quiet and secluded setting, walk to private beach, quick access to Provincetown and all services.
What makes this property unique
Comfortably rustic furnishings with a wonderful collection of original artwork. The cottage is filled with natural light and located in a quiet woodland setting. Our beautiful association beach is serene and uncrowded even during the busiest vacation weeks of July and August.
