Tranquil Bayview Retreat ~ Year-Round Saltwater Hot Tub ~ Reserved Parking
The Space
Tucked into Provincetown's Gallery District, this is a bay-view one-bedroom with a private saltwater hot tub, a vintage pinball machine, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget Commercial Street is two minutes away on foot.
You're steps from the legendary Ciro & Sal's — where Anthony Bourdain learned to cook and later wrote about in Kitchen Confidential — and the equally excellent Mews, both open year-round. Walking distance to everything Ptown has to offer, day and night.
Upstairs
The entry, living room, kitchen, and full bath share a wide view of Cape Cod Bay from every angle. The deck has a lounger, two love seats, and a dining table. Inside, there's a proper workstation — 24" monitor, dock, keyboard, mouse, and a Haworth Fern office chair. The Fern is an S-tier ergonomic seat (kinematic back, digital-knit suspension, same league as the Herman Miller Aeron and Embody) — if you're going to work a few hours with the bay in front of you, you'll notice the difference.
The living room is anchored by a Samsung Frame TV paired with an AirPlay-compatible Sonos soundbar and surrounds — so you can cast from your phone or laptop and the room sounds like a small cinema. The kitchen has a full-size fridge and freezer, dishwasher, stove, Breville toaster oven, kettle, and coffee maker. The bathroom has a soaking tub, shower, and bidet.
Downstairs
The bedroom opens directly to a private patio, garden, and the saltwater hot tub. The queen bed has a natural temperature-regulating cotton and wool mattress cover. Blackout shades when you want them, and Sonos stereo speakers in the room for AirPlay from bed.
The laundry room sits behind the hot tub with a washer and dryer for longer stays. A/C, heating, ceiling fans, and a dehumidifier are throughout the house.
The saltwater hot tub — why it's different
Most hot tubs you've been in use chemical chlorine dosed by hand. This one makes its own, from salt, at a fraction of the concentration of a chemical tub. The practical differences:
• Silky on the skin. The water genuinely feels different — softer, almost soft-cotton — and doesn't leave that dry-skin-and-chlorine-smell aftertaste. People get out cleaner than they got in. • Gentler on eyes and hair. Low dosage means less of the irritation you'd get from a public or chemical tub. • Maintained year-round by a professional service. What you step into is a tub that's been looked after the way a good hot tub deserves.
Vintage pinball
A 1979 Bally Dolly Parton pinball machine set to free play — no quarters, just press START and pull the plunger. One of only ~7,350 ever made. Bally originally painted Dolly as a barefoot country girl; her publicists rejected it — "She's gowns and lights. She's everything in Vegas." The backglass was redesigned, but the original country-girl art survived on the playfield. Two Dollys in one machine. Plays "Here You Come Again," her Grammy-winning first pop crossover hit.
What's yours
The hot tub is yours and private. So is the wifi and the assigned parking spot. You'll have the complete run of the house — cabinets, drawers, pantry, spices, kitchen tools, everything you need. Beach chairs, umbrella, and loungers are here for you too — the full list of what's here for you is in the guest manual, so you can pack lighter.
The neighborhood
Two minutes on foot to Commercial Street — galleries, restaurants, shops, shows, and nightlife. But you won't hear any of it from this oasis tucked away from the road.

Thank you Collette, I wish I could better understand how we didn’t deliver a 5 star experience. Your review left us unable to address any issue you might have docked us a star for. That said, we are grateful for your positive feedback!
My friends and I had a wonderful visit to Ptown enhanced by our stay with Russell. The location met our needs, and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and location. The kitchen facilities were also very appropriate for our needs.
There were some small discrepencies on the VRBO listing that Russell is working to fix, but nothing that impacted our stay. We appreciated for Russell's rapid communications and grateful for his patience, especially as we were checking out.
We highly recommend the location to others.
