Notes from the host
Adorable Cottage with Amazing Views
Summary:
Professionally managed by The Lexvest Group. Our recently refreshed 2 bedroom cottage at East Harbor cottage has beautiful views of Cape Cod Bay and the National Seashore sand dunes. Airy, efficient, and can comfortably sleep 4 adults! Bring your loved ones and recharge by the Bay!
The Space:
Freshly Painted and fully insulated, with newly refinished floors and cathedral ceilings, the comfort of this cottage is sure to make you feel refreshed! Newly installed ductless mini splits provide warmth in the off season and excellent cooling during the hot weather! These super quiet units also allow each room to control their own temperature. The high ceilings and abundance of natural light also bring an airy and spacious feeling to the whole cottage.
The cottage has two bedrooms, one featuring a queen, and the other with two twins - each with brand new CASPER mattresses, for a luxurious night's sleep. The cottage also features a charming living room space where you can take advantage of the cable TV and wireless Internet. Additionally, there is a full kitchen, ready and waiting for you to prepare a lovely breakfast at home while taking in the dune views.
All guests are encouraged to enjoy using the property's communal gas grills and park-like grounds. It's also only about 25 steps to a private beach with great views of Provincetown and the tip of Cape Cod. After a day at the beach, relax on the boardwalk with family and friends! The center of town is a short 2-3 miles away, and the Shuttle bus runs every 1/2 hour during the summer season.
***Please note, guests must provide their own sheets and towels.***

We urge guests to pay close attention when enjoying nature, weather can change quickly and wild animals can be surprising. Because temperatures in the mountains can fluctuate widely, even in the height of summer, we recommend packing sweaters and light, cold-weather gear just in case. Depending on the activities you plan, we recommend packing hiking, running, swimming, horseback riding, and/or running gear. We also recommend that guests consider spraying clothes with Permethrin when walking outside, to help avoid ticks. In winter we recommend guests pack several layers of warm clothing and ensure that their vehicles are ready for potential snowfall. For other clothing, most all venues around are very casual.
