This place is a slice of heaven. If it’s a 5star resort you’re looking for it’s not here. This place is for the simple life. Water so close you can touch it from inside it feels. All the brick a brack and chochies fit right in with the seashore. Small but efficient and very comfortable. Can’t wait to get back there again. Is it next summer yet. Michele and Paul wonderful hosts. Replied quickly with answers to our questions. PTOWN is just 3 miles up the road. Weather wasn’t the best cloudy but we made the best of it !!

Rustic!

When booking the cottage I knew that it was outfitted in a rustic way. My partner enjoyed the many trinkets that adorned the walls and shelves, especially when it came to figuring out some of the scientific instruments. There are no empty dressers for storing clothing. The cleanliness of the refrigerator was exceptional! All the linens were clean, as well. Cleanliness of the dishes was hit or miss. The cleanliness of the shower wasn’t great; I typically clean this area before we leave, but there was buildup under the shower mat that couldn’t have belonged to us. The outside grounds of the cottage have overgrowth. Cottages on either side do not exhibit this overgrowth. After commutation with the host I was told that the grounds were kept by an HOA, but like I said, this property was less taken care of than others. Being right on the beach has its draw; be aware of what that actually means, especially being on the bay side (endless amounts of seaweed that don’t lead to an open beach at all, like some of the pictures would make you believe). Book with care

Tranquility

Michelle was wonderful to work with. Sea Pearch is AWESOME!!! You can watch the sunrise from bed and 5 step to the beach. You can hear the waves crashing all night. It is truly a beautiful cottage. It was just big enough for my husband and myself. We had everything we needed during our stay. The cottage was clean and a short to drive to pick up dinner and watch the sunset on the beach. We will DEFINITELY rent again. Highly recommend if you want to be on the beach.

Perfect Getaway in the Cape!

Wow! Where to start...you can't beat the location. We wanted a quiet get away without a long travel for restaurants, shopping, etc. This cottage fit that bill perfectly! We could have walked if we had really wanted (about 3 miles into Provincetown), but we used various modes of transportation that were easy/inexpensive - bike, shuttle, Uber, even pedicab! For the most part we spent our time on the private beach and didn't feel the need to venture out besides that. The beach was well equipped with a table and chairs on the deck, adirondack chairs, and then folding beach chairs. The cottages are close to its neighbors but all were friendly and offered us some great recommendations and conversation. Now onto the cottage itself! The cottage is exactly as it appears in the pictures. It is well equipped, homey, with a comfortable bed and couch. We didn't get around to taking advantage of them, but there are a lot of games and even a telescope for your use. We had a couple of items we reached out to the Owner about and they were very responsive and helpful! My only recommendation would be to bring beach towels as only shower towels are provided.

Could Use a Few Updates

The location is great, right on the water & close to everything fun we enjoy at the Cape. The cottage has potential. The trinkets, tchotchkes, and doodads took up a lot of space and it felt overwhelming. The grotesque partially intact mammalian skull seemed out of place. Also, the horseshoe crab carcass on the front deck was probably left over from the previous guest. The shower is in dire need of an update. The corner seams were held together with tape. The bathroom sink did not drain properly. The windows overlooking the bay view had not been cleaned. Having seen adjacent units & how well they were maintained and updated we would explore those options for future visits.

Heaven on earth

The cottage was absolutely perfect! It was clean, quaint and had every thing you could need or want. The community is full of welcoming people. We had breakfast lunch and dinner on the beach. Can’t wait to go back! I almost want to leave an awful review so the dates all stay available haha but I can’t because the owners are wonderful and the cottage is perfect!

Wonderful trip!

This was our first trip to the Cape and we loved the views and location. Easy checkin and checkout process. Enjoyed the outdoor areas, walking on the beach and talking with the neighbors. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. We were not inside much at all but the bed could use some attention—it is very unlevel. Had everything we needed for our stay and we sure hated to leave! Perfect vacation!

Perfect Beach Cottage

This was our fourth time staying at Sea Perch and we've already booked our stay for next year. The new owners were great. Very responsive and the cottage was cleaner than previous years. Having linens provided was a very nice addition. The cottage is in great condition, but the shower pan looked like it could be replaced. We love eating dinner on the back porch watching the beautiful sunset over the bay. The beach is perfect for walking and we always find lots of sea glass - our favorite souvenir from our vacation. Our other favorite thing about the cottage is listening to the waves from bed. The location is perfect. It's a short drive to Provincetown, Truro Vineyard and the national sea shore beaches. Every year our stay is the perfect Cape vacation and we can't wait to return to make more memories.

Magical

Love the Sea Perch! Have been with my husband in the past. Never disappoints! This year, I invited my niece for a graduation getaway gift. Sharing the magic of the Cape with someone that has never been is always a reminder why I love coming back since I was a teenager. The Cape touches you. It never leaves you. Staying at the Sea Perch encompasses all of the things I love and now others that have shared the experience are in love. The calm. The loud crashing waves. The energy of the sea. The friendliness of everyone you meet. The peace. The magic. The cottage provides a cozy hug the moment you walk in. Well appointed and clean! Paul and Michele stay in touch and ensure everything is in place. Thank you so much! ps: the sunsets of course are by far the most stunning however, don’t forget the sunrise. My niece opened my eyes (literally!) to this gem. You can see it right outside the door while enjoying your morning cup of coffee or tea. Just look across the street a little to the right where there is an opening. What a way to start the day before taking a morning walk along the beach.

Host profile image
We connect to nature. Hiking, biking, skiing, surfing or just relaxing and taking in the wonder of it. We enjoy books and films. And all of us love to travel and experience new places and meet people who have stories to tell. Paul and I and our son, Kenneth live in Los Angeles and work in film. We value the craft of what we do and the storyteller.

Why they chose this property

The beauty of the sea and the magic of this historic cottage. The remarkable sunrise and breathtaking sunsets. The peace at night going to sleep with the gentle sound of the water. The fun during the day deciding whether to head to Provincetown or explore Truro. The relaxed atmosphere of the warm community of cottages. This is a special place.

What makes this property unique

A perfect combination of being directly ON the sand and also close to Provincetown. The sand, the sea and the eclectic offerings of both Truro and Provincetown. Time on the Cape is a dream come true!
