Great location, comfortable place, with a terrific water view and beach access. We liked that it was near many shops, galleries and restaurants but not the noisy crowds.
Wonderful experience, so quiet and what a great view. Host Alaine was very welcoming and responsive when we needed more towels. Highly recommend this property!
We came for the view and the amazing location. In addition, the host was amazing and the house has loads of history and more charm than you can imagine. Can’t wait to book a trip back with my husband!

Glad you had a good time! It was great chatting and sharing with you. A beautiful moment. :-)
Nice, cosy place with a large beautiful, 2nd floor private deck that overlooks the bay. We just returned from our second stay here. The deck, for us, is really the draw. We prefer this location in the more quiet side of town, near the galleries and art museum. Alain is a great host and is very friendly and responsive. We'll return here, for sure.

Thanks! Glad you had a good time. Come back anytime!
Great location and condo. Nice furnishings and kitchen area for rainy or quiet night. Close to all restaurants and bars too. Great deck overlooking P-Town harbor.
Awesome location right on the beach, close to all the restaurants, bars, and hot spots. Felt very safe which was a big plus for me. Thanks to my host who was readily available to me which I was surprised to find but pleasantly. I would definitely recommend it to others and would love to go back next year.

Thanks, Lyn! Glad you had a good time and you could relax at our house. We love sharing this special place with others. You’re welcome back anytime.
It was exactly as pictured - perhaps even bigger. Alain is a great host and the property is classic PTown charming. The only issue was that the upstairs was pretty noisy. We talked with Alain and it worked out. My advice would be to stay on the top floor though (3rd floor). I'd definitely go back.

Thanks for the review! There was a couple with two big labradors upstairs which is probably what you heard. It is rare that a renter comes with two big dogs though.
Stayed 1 week. Had a non urgent need that was met immediately post vrbo correspondence. The grounds keeper was extremely kind, and knowledgable about PTown. Great views. Comfortable. Would revisit.

Thank you! I am glad you had a good stay. Come back any time!
Although small and of an older era, this was a neat, clean, fully functional space decorated with a minimalist beachy vibe which I love. The views were amazing from the porch and we were able to pull our 17 'Boston Whaler close enough to the beach without having to get more than ankle deep to jump on or off. Location for a stay in Ptown was PERFECT. We were close enough to all the shops, restaurants and entertainment on Commercial Street, yet far enough that it was peaceful and retreat like at the house. Our hosts were a delight. They were great with communication and happy to give us history and information about places to go on our visit.

It was great to have true water/boat people at our house! We used to have a Boston Whaler as well so it reminded of us those times. Glad you enjoyed the house and the beach and looking forward to hosting you again! Too bad I wasn't there to say goodbye!
My husband and I booked this property for our 4th Bear Week. We love the beachfront location for our pups. Beach walks and bay swims are everything for all four of us. The week was hot- and the bedroom AC kept the whole unit cool. We are out- there are two small groceries/ sandwich shops within walking distance. Location was just close enough to walk to all the events- but far enough away from the noise to enjoy whatever type of beach trip You want. The host lives on or close by- they helped us check in- everything was easy. Communication was quick and efficient. I would stay here again in any season.

Warning for scent-sensitive
The location and view are great. Towels and sheets were strongly scented, causing allergic reaction. Unable to tolerate, which led to an unpleasant stay. Host tried to remediate, but was unsuccessful. He wanted to charge for this, which I felt was inappropriate. He unsuccessfully then tried to make a claim against the property damage protection that I purchased (which was a required extra expense in lieu of very large security deposit). I wouldn't stay here again.

Why they chose this property
The house is situated on the bay side of the popular, pedestrian and bike friendly Commercial St, yet away from the busy & fun downtown (5mins away by foot). The neighborhood is quiet with many art galleries around. You will enjoy blissful views of sunrises and magic hours over the bay. This is your P'town on the water getaway!
