Staying here was unlike, in so many ways, any other place I have ever stayed at in Provincetown, and for the two of us, neither would hesitate ever to stay again. That said, the accommodations may not be for everyone.
First, David is just wonderful. He met us on checkin, was able to answer all of our questions about the place, showed us how to use the futon and told us about the kitchen, and was just all around a wonderful host.
You are literally in an old fishing shack on a dock. It is a fairly small room, but to be honest, we found plenty of space to tuck away our belongings. The space is very well organized. The futon turns into a surprisingly large and comfortable queen size. It is super cutely decorated inside, but being able to spill out onto the Adirondack chairs outside and absorb the surroundings and water around was wonderful. It turned our usual busy-busy-busy trip to Provincetown into somehow a relaxing trip to the sea, but with the more than occasional jaunts out into the usual mix on Commercial St.
The one maybe slightly odd thing about the place is that you're pretty much pressed right up against a restaurant. Before roughly 5pm, you're alone. But, if you want an evening cocktail by the water, you'll have diners on the porch eating their meals pretty close by. Same, of course, if you're freshening up before going out at night - if it matters to you, your walk from the shower stall (right next door to your cabin) back to the cabin is in view. For us, this didn't really matter much, especially since the folks at the restaurant were delightful and as we had a good share of costume changes, walking through in wigs and gold pumps everyone seemed to love.
Waking up to the water splashing right under you, being able to jump right in almost from your front door, exploring all the sea life below was incredible. It is a totally unique experience seeing Provincetown from this vantage-point, and we'd love, hopefully some day soon, to call this cabin again for another week our home.
