I absolutely loved staying in the cottage. Unfortunately my trip was cut short, but for the short time I did stay I felt comfortable and was able to enjoy some of the things the town had to offer. I hope to return in the future.
We loved every moment of our stay here. It’s a couple blocks away from all the action but when at the house, it was a quiet escape. Hosts were great and we would definitely stay here next time in Ptown!
We had a great stay from start to finish. Communication with our hosts was always very prompt. The cottage has everything you need and it's very close to commercial street. Would highly recommend.
We loved our stay in this cozy, little cottage. It was well equipped! Details like beach towels & beach chairs were appreciated. Hope to return again. Thank you!
This cottage is absolutely adorable. Everything was perfect and as described in the listing. Also, any questions I did have Jim responded quickly! I would stay in their cottage again without question. It’s also an easy walk to commercial street making it the perfect location.
Property is as advertised. Very clean and tidy. We enjoyed the privacy of the cottage and yet it was close to town. Quiet in the evening and private deck to enjoy also. Communication with owners was very good.

Clean’ so cute’ loved the decorations’ cozy bed’ bathroom small but shower head was adjustable’ everything was provided’ I will be returning’ great get away’ closet in bedroom stored all of our things’ big bonus’ Peter and Jim responded promptly’ easy to get in’ backyard shower’ can’t wait to stay in the summer! Great place for two. Thanks for the stay
It's a beautiful little cottage and very well appointed.
It was just right. The only glitch was construction across the street when we arrived. But we understand that is happening in area. Maybe a heads up would have been good. But it's a lovely little place. Would love to visit again.
My husband and I loved Jim and Peter’s cottage. It is perfectly decorated and organized to maximize every inch of space inside. The outdoor shower and huge back deck are also excellent perks!! Although the cottage is small, it’s just enough space for a couple which is all we needed. It’s a short walk into Provincetown (a couple blocks), in a nice quiet neighborhood. This is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a getaway that’s private but close to everything. Jim and Peter were great hosts and were extremely responsible and communicative. Highly highly recommend and are already trying to plan our return!!
This cottage — a former sea shack moved from the shore and rehabbed to the hilt — drips with Cape Cod charm. It’s an absolutely delightful home base for a solo traveler, a couple, or friends who don’t mind sharing a bed. It has everything you need for coffee / breakfasts / pre-drinks / dinners in — including a spacious and gorgeous patio with a couch, loungers, a table … . The bathroom is small, but it hits all the right marks with good water pressure and long-lasting hot water.
The cottage is blocks from the main grocery in town; several bars and restaurants are in strolling distance; and Commercial Street is nearly a straight shot away. Yet it’s quiet, and feels wonderfully tucked away. I definitely see myself returning.
It would be helpful if you checked whether the tv was working properly before occupied.
Also, the small fry pan needs replacing and a keurig machine would be popular.
Directions re: how to turn on the ceiling fan.
I’d suggest shades on “all”windows. Women especially need this for safety.
On the whole our stay was wonderful!
Thanks much.
The property is absolutely lovely. The finishing are nice and well maintained. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need, including multiple kitchen towels, cutting boards and a cocktail shaker. They even have Tupperware for packing snacks for the beach.
Air conditioning in both the living room and bedroom were perfect. Note that the ceiling fan in the living room is within arms reach so best not put your hands up if you are on the taller side.
There is a grocery store and bank right near the property along with two bike rentals shops and a nice seafood spot. its also a quick 10 or less minute walk to the main part of town and popular venues.
Our favorite part was the outdoor shower. Lovely, private and spacious, a cherry top of an an already picture perfect package.
I would absolutely return in a heartbeat. Cheers!
Just a perfect little retreat for some solo downtime. Cozy and cute as hell. The table out back is a perfect place to enjoy the morning, or the afternoon after the beach.
But. Sadly, apart from answering a question about laundry—there isn't any, which is kind of a pain—the agent for the bungalow didn't respond to subsequent communications. Nothing major, mind you. But one ought to at least get "Thanks, no problem" or "No, can't help you" from a communication.
I'd still come back, but I urge the owners to get a new agent.
I've never seen such a small space so wonderfully designed and appointed outside of Japan, where they specialize in exquisitely small but serviceable living spaces. In warmer weather, the cottage doubles (if not triples) in space, with a lovely back deck, which looks prime for yoga, front porch with brightly-painted red chairs, and lovely lawn with a bench, tree, and grass for lolling about. It's a great location---we walked everywhere, and very much enjoyed the cozy comfort of this charming cottage.
I attempted NOT to answer the question above re: communication with property manager since there was none but VRBO's software won't allow me to send this if you don't (annoying VRBO!). Certainly had we needed to check in with someone we could have; two names and numbers were provided on the welcome brochure on top of the refrigerator.
This cottage was perfect for a quiet getaway! Everything was clean and so organized! Appreciated the ease of booking and location; close enough to Commercial St yet quiet and an easy drive to the beaches! Good info provided also which was super helpful!
The grounds felt like a fairytale. Te cottage was so adorable would definitely stay here again. My husband interacted with the host which was very pleasant. The location was perfect in walking to commercial street where all the activity resides.we were also extremely close to the market. The location is ideal.
