Expansive views, short walk to beach in beautiful Truro
Truro Vacation Rental - ID 23392

Within minutes of unpacking, we knew we would be very happy here. The home was spotless and spacious with a kitchen well supplied. Plenty of windows to let in the light, the breezes, and the scenery. The ample deck has flowers, grills, seating for at least twelve and a huge hammock. Great Hollow Beach is a very short walk and offers panoramic views of the ocean, Provincetown, and the horse shoe shaped beach. The owners treated us well and we will be back.

My husband and I stayed at this house for a week in August with our 2 children and the location could not have been better. The 2 minute bike ride to the beach was ideal. We could easily come back to the house for a quick lunch. We bought a beach parking pass but never needed it. It was also an easy trip up the road for pizza and ice cream.

The house had everything we needed...nice, spacious kitchen, big deck, comfortable living room and the outdoor shower was perfect! We were there during a particularly hot week so the house did get a bit warm. No A/C and the fans really weren't effective but by the end of the week, the temp cooled off and the breeze that came through the house was lovely.

The owners were very responsive to any questions/concerns we had and we will definitely look to rent this house again. We love the cape and this house was perfect! show more show less

My husband and our 2 adult children, along with their partners, stayed at this lovely home for a week. The kitchen and all the communal space is on the top floor and is open and very comfortable with multiple sitting areas. It was great that there was a bathroom on that floor.

We loved sitting out on the large deck. The bedrooms are all on the ground floor but still airy and cheery. It was very convenient for us that each room had a Queen size bed, rather than having to push 2 twins together, which we've had to do in some of the rooms at other vacation homes. It really is a short walk to Great Hollow Beach on the Bay side, which is usually not too terribly crowded. The owner, Anne, is a pleasure to deal with and offered more than once to allow us to buy and get reimbursed for any small item we felt the house was missing. We would definitely rent this house again in the future.

The house setup was perfect for our family of 6, four adults and two young ones. You thought of everything we needed to relax, enjoy the beach, cook, and basically have a perfect vacation -- a much needed respite from daily life.

We were the first to rent or be in the house because of the pandemic and there were a few opening wrinkles to work out. Marvin and Anne were quick to answer phone calls and emails and work with us to make sure the home was fully functional.

The home had everything we needed! The two seating areas gave the kids a place to play and the grownups a place to read. The openness of the whole 2nd floor is the way we like to vacation. We cooked big meals together and the kids enjoyed running around a big circle! The ease of walking to the beach was wonderful. I had the joy of developing a routine where my 3-year old grandson and I would walk hand-in-hand to the beach. My 6-yr old grandson discovered he could ride his bike to the beach and that was fun too.

While we did not have perfect weather, we had a perfect week. I grew up near salt water and the beach was wonderful for me. The bay is perfect for a 3 and 6 year old and for swimming. This home was also part of why our vacation went so well. I suspect that Truro and maybe this house, may become a regular vacation place for us. show more show less

My family absolutely loved everything about our recent experience at Anne and Marvin's warm, spacious home. We were a group of five adults and a toddler and there was ample space for us to do puzzles and play cards at night, while also being able to spread out.

Taking advantage of the fish markets, we cooked almost every meal at home (amazing cost saver!) and had everything we could want in the way of pots/pans/kitchen items. I loved the reverse layout with the bedrooms down on the first floor and the living space up top so that you always had spectacular sunset views on the bay.

This house is close enough to the bay beach that my 20 month old son and I walked every day instead of having to load in and out of a car.

As for our hosts themselves, they were incredibly prompt to respond, gave great suggestions about cape activities and made our trip smooth, easy and ultimately relaxing. We certainly hope to return soon! show more show less

This is our second year at this beautiful home in Truro. It is perfect for family to relax and enjoy the open kitchen and family room space. House has beautiful big deck to relax and grill. Beach is short walk down the street and ocean beaches are close by. Great local restaurants nearby. Anne and Marvin are great to work with and we look forward to returning next year.

Lovely home to have a vacation with your family. All amenities are available and the bedrooms accommodated us all with plenty of room. Everything was clean and definitely not old and used. Kitchen was beautiful and a treat to be in. One of my teenagers finally saw his first shooting star while gazing from the hammock on the big porch. Great location for beach, trails, nice little town or P'town just a short drive away. Head of the Meadow is our all time favorite beach and even after visiting the Cape for 20+ years each year, we discover more and meet nice people like Marvin and Anne, the homeowners. You will not be disappointed with this rental. show more show less

Dear Anne and Marvin,
We have just unpacked from a wonderful vacation. Your home provided the perfect setting for us to spend quality time with our family. The home is beautiful, comfortable and so relaxing out on your great deck. We loved the local beach and the fact that we were so close to many other beaches. We enjoyed great meals in Truro and Wellfleet, and it was great to be so close to Provincetown to cheer on our son as he completed his PMC ride. We cannot wait for next year. If your home is available the week of August 5th, please pencil us in!
Thanks again

I had the luck to have a great grandfather who took to Truro, and I share his appreciation of its beauty. This home offers what I find best about being on the Cape - a beautiful bay beach a minute's walk from the house, easy drive to other beautiful beaches, wonderful roads to walk and the breeze steadily blowing through the many windows. The rooms are well-sized and easy to feel at home in. Clean and comfortable, well equipped, roomy. The social areas - kitchen, dining, living room open space, with attached decks on 2 sides - make it a home. Plenty of storage - so it never feels cluttered.

Family and friends stopped by and fit in easily. What pleasure. The cooking areas work well. Saying that, we were lucky because the weather was good and on the cool side. My sisters were in houses that all had AC. We didn't. They said they never would have thought it important but in recent years have had very hot days where the AC was much appreciated. This house has sufficient fans, I think. The only problem is that as is typical of Cape houses that get closed up often - molds grow. Some of the downstairs furniture has drawers that smell moldy. If you are sensitive to molds, think about how you'll deal with it, if you react inside. Not a problem for some. Just good to know about ahead of time.

Another aspect I really appreciated was the interaction with the owners: efficient, warm, helpful and welcoming. We felt privileged that they let us share their home - and, yes, it has a home-y feel, not an anonymous rental property feel. Tip for enjoyment: Wrap up in a beach towel at night and sit out on the deck on a clear night to watch the stars. Spectacular. show more show less
