Although not direct waterfront, access to Commercial Street is just a stroll down the garden pathway with 2 different waterfront accesses located on the opposite side of Commercial street - perfect for someone who would like to sit/walk on the flats at low tide, stroll along the water's edge or go for a swim! With tennis courts just steps away, if you love to play tennis or want to learn - this is a great location for those wanting a quiet yard thats still close to everything, or seeking a dog or family-friendly environment. Ground floor makes it easy with a pet and we are close to center of town, yet in a quiet area. It's an easy walk, bike or pedicab to the center of everything, and you can also catch the shuttle which can be waved down to stop at top of path.
Our place is good for couples, a group of friends, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and if pre-approved before booking, we may even be able to host a dog :)
This is a private home (2 family / duplex), not a condo! You have access to the whole bottom garden unit, along with a band new paver patio in the front, a back deck and surrounding gardens and some exclusive as well as some shared gardens and outdoor spaces. Lots of outdoor space on the front allows for wonderful outdoor seating and garden dining options.
Here's more about the property:
LOCATION: Located in the East End, it's just a 2 minute bike ride or 12-15 min walk to the heart of town! So if you figure 320 Commercial St is where the Macmillan pier is, and 1000 Commercial St is Beach Point where the beginning of Provincetown starts, we are located in the 500's - so about the middle of the artsy East End.
This house is not actually on a street - it is set well back and landlocked from the street, which makes for a lot quieter location than most places in town. There is a garden path that comes with the property that leads down to Commercial St and if you'd like to do a stroll along the waterfront, there a couple of different public accesses available to pick from all within less than a a minute to 5 minutes walk away. This same path also leads up to the Public Tennis Club (which is open for everyone to enjoy). Come play or take lessons for you or your kids, or just work on your game with the opportunity to arrange a pickup game with a local or another vacationer! Also there's a great ping pong table in their club house right across the street!
PETS: We love pets, and do realize with condo associations having lots of anti-renter pet rules, so it's hard to find places in town that will accept them. We have had very good luck for decades because people have been honorable about their pets and discussing ahead of time any potential issues there may be, so we can determine if this (or another one of our places) might be a good fit. Pets may be considered, but please be sure to discuss ahead of time first before paying for your booking, to get them added to the agreement. There is a deposit + pet fee for each pet added to the agreement, and the charge for this may be handled separately after the initial booking is confirmed.
Please consider that your pet must be:
- Easy going, laid back and not a puppy (sorry, too many prior chewing / peeing accidents)
- On flea + tick treatment
- Up to date on vaccinations
- 100% housebroken and able to do it's business outside at all times
- Non-damaging
To be considerate of our neighbors, we do ask that your pet be:
- Non-Aggressive towards people and other pets
- We do realize dogs bark on occasion! Your pet should be relatively non-barking or at least not excessively so
- Not going to be left alone for excessively long periods
- And of course, you must be willing and able to clean up immediately each day after your pet in the provided pet yard.
GROUND FLOOR ACCESS: Although not technically 'Handicapped Accessible' (this is hard to find in Ptown in a private home), this is a ground floor unit. The front doorway is probably not wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair, but if someone recently had knee surgery or something similar this might not be a bad location for a person with some limited mobility as there are very few steps. The front door is *flush* with the outside paver patio. Once inside, there are no steps to the kitchen, living room, laundry or dining area. There are 1 or 2 steps down into the bedrooms. There are no steps to Bradford street, but there is steep ramp down to the garden pathway that goes to Commercial street. There is one step up if you wish to use the outdoor shower, although there are no steps to the inside bathroom.
PARKING: Parking is off-street for one vehicle and on the street for any additional vehicles
BBQ GRILL: You may use the owner's Gas Grill, which is in the common space anytime! - please provide your own Propane fill and we ask that you clean up after every use. Thanks! read more show less
