A Quintessential Cape Cod Getaway
Truro Vacation Rental - ID 36087

Hi and Welcome. My name is Randi and we've owned this cottage in Truro since 1989. My boys spent every summer of their lives at this home (now 25 and 30) and they have grown to love it too. I rented it years ago whenever I had summer plans or needed the income. This year I sold my business so thought I would rent for a few weeks again. We have put our hearts and souls (and quite a few bucks!) into this cottage, having renovated in 2020, so we're looking for very responsible people to enjoy it but also to take care of it as if it were their own. When asked what they like the most about the cottage, our guests usually say the outdoor shower and screened in porch. But there is a lot more to love now that we've worked on the place so your comments will be interesting. I welcome your questions and will be happy to make sure you have a wonderful stay.

What is special about this property?
In 2020, we did a major addition and we also renovated the original cottage. We wanted to preserve the Cape Cottage feel while adding space and amenities. There's parking for 4 cars and the front of the house boasts a wall of hydrangea. The main deck has plenty of seating and a hammock for relaxing and reading. We have breakfast and dinner on the screened porch. For stay at home evenings, there's a state of the art tv, WiFi, games and books. There are two mini splits in the new addition which have a dehumidifier and AC mode. The fireplace is nice on cool evenings. The bedrooms are in the original cottage and all have great cross ventilation as well as fans. The outdoor bedroom structure has AC. The house is on a small dead end street that is quiet, peaceful and safe. It sits just off the Pamet River but does not have a waterview. It's an easy walk over the hill to access the river, and the path to the harbor along the waters edge is delightful (pictured). All the best beaches are minutes away and you're centrally located just 5 minutes to Wellfleet and 10 minutes to Provincetown for evening entertainment. Post beach, there's a sun-drenched, over-sized outdoor shower which connects to both the guest cottage and mudroom off the back deck. There's a washer and dryer to dump towels and wet bathing suits and an indoor shower through that entrance. My personalized ''Insider's Guide'' lists all the special places I've discovered through the years but that are not widely known.

What is special about your town?
Truro is 75% national seashore. It is wild, raw, protected, spectacular nature. Water on all sides and in the middle. Our favorite ocean beach is the town beach, Longnook - only known to town residents, with a humongous dune (beware if you're out of shape) and daily open volleyball game, with participants from 16 - 75. For children, the bay beaches, tide pools and ponds are equally fun and beautiful and also safer, if that's a concern. You can walk to the town store, Jams, for breakfast, sandwiches and essentials and the farmers market is within walking distance as well. Truro sits between Wellfleet - a charming seaside village known for it's art, shopping and restaurants - and Provincetown - a true one of a kind New England town known for it's open mindedness and unmatched culture. There's a concert venue in North Truro worth checking out but generally, Truro is known for quiet, beauty and nature.
