This home was built by my mother 45 years ago on land inherited from my grandfather, and it is newly under my care. This is the perfect Cape Cod summer beach house; set back from the beach on a slight rise and just two minute's easy walk down the path to our private beach and miles of wide gorgeous sand in each direction. No long staircases, just a short winding path and two small sets of stairs. The house has breathtaking 270-degree ocean views, circling from Cape Cod Bay in front, with evening sunsets and distant views of Plymouth, around to the southern Bay, and on to far woodlands in the east.
The home features four bedrooms and two full baths, each with shower-over-tub as well as a separate outdoor shower. Upper level main floor has a convenient open living-dining-kitchen, a large deck, one full bath, a large 12x18 bedroom (with King) with a sunroom off of that (the room can serve as a bonus 5th bedroom off of the upstairs bedroom, especially for babies & kids, or else a separate work space) plus a small outside balcony off the sunroom. The lower level has 3 more bedrooms (2 queens, 1 full), TV den (with sofa that can convert to a bed), a second full bath, and a laundry room. There is a hot water outdoor shower, high-speed wireless, two TVs plus DVDs and a well-supplied kitchen with every utensil & small appliance you could need. There is also a Propane gas grill on the deck right off the kitchen/living area. Thanks to sloping terrain, there is ground-level easy entry to both levels.
I provide all sheets, pillows, blankets, and towels (bath, beach, and kitchen) as well as beach chairs, beach umbrella, and several kayaks for your enjoyment. In addition -- because I well remember the difficulty of traveling with infants/toddlers -- there is also a new Pack & Play as well as a Booster Seat with Feeding Tray for your use so you don't have to pack those bulky items.
The house is sited on a small bluff just up from the Bay, affording cool sea breezes in the afternoons and cooling off virtually every evening with the on-shore breeze so no AC has ever been needed by our family for the past 45 years. There is ample level parking for 4 cars, with very easy close access to the house from your car. Located in the Ryder Beach vicinity in a pleasant sparsely-built small beachside private neighborhood. The beach is wide with clean white sand extending as far as you can see in both directions -- and is plenty wide even at the highest tides; then at the lowest tides there are sand bars to explore and dig clams, yet the water is always great for swimming at any time. Truly the perfect beach for families at all ages for swimming, floating, kayaking, and reading a great book.
The area has nearby access to hiking and biking trails and routes. There is ocean-side surf swimming for a change of pace just a short 4 mile drive away. Truro is a unique rural seaside town, only about 4 miles wide between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. There are also many fun local and seasonal shops and eateries, a golf course, a boat harbor, a winery, a lighthouse, a concert & music venue (Payomet), surf-casting from Bay and Ocean beaches for the avid fisherman, and much much more to explore. When you want a change of pace from your lazy beach living, it's just a 7-10 minute drive south to the gallery, shopping and famous oyster town of Wellfleet; or 12-15 minutes north to the bustling tourist town of Provincetown, the outer tip of the Cape, packed with local shops, food, whale-watches, fishing excursions, rousing night life, historical spots, dune tours, Cape Cod National Seashore ocean beaches and dunes, even a small airport and a fast-ferry to Boston. Truly, the Outer Cape has everything and of course you will find the best seafood in the world to eat everywhere you go.
NOTE: Well-behaved dogs are allowed with advance permission and a fee; they may not be left alone to bark at all, and if so, kennel or daycare is required. Please also note that the beach and home may ONLY be used by the rental occupants of the house; you cannot bring in a large group of outside guests to party and use our beach. This policy is strictly enforced.
