We are a family of three including a 3 year old child. We've rented several different homes in Provincetown and Truro and this is the only home we returned to twice. The owners are attentive and pleasurable, and the house is excellent and in great condition! Views are great, the breeze is great, and it's in a very nice location. Probably one of the two or three highest homes in the whole town! If we return to stay in Provincetown we will definitely try to stay at this house again.

Hi Iain, I've been meaning to write to tell you how much, we enjoyed, once again, our stay at your house! We continued to travel since then, so I'm just getting back and organized. We had a wonderful time. The water at Herring Cove was warm enough to really enjoy. Race Point was fabulous, complete with the great seals there. I think the best part, for me, was that the flowers this year were absolutely spectacular! walking thru town was so fabulous with all those roses spilling over everything. The house was great - so thanks again! Warmly, Paula

IDEAL for TOWN CENTER, yet secluded & private I thought I would send you an email to say how much we enjoyed our holiday in Doonbuouys. Everyone had a wonderful time and loved the house and its design - and your beds were all fabulously comfortable. The house was ideal for the restaurants and the Town Center whilst still being secluded and private. The whale boat tour was excellent and the highlight of my mother's week. Thanks again for having such a lovely and well appointed house and for all the notes and information you supplied us.

An AWESOME Time - HOUSE WAS PERFECT We had an awesome time! Your house was perfect! I'm reaaly glad we decided to go with a house that was not in the center of town. It was just far enough away so we didn't have the congestion but had wonderful views to the ocean and the bay. It was quiet and relaxing. Provincetown is packed with stuff to do, and so many cool shops! I think we did a little shopping almost every day! We did a whale watching trip and saw a lot of whales, such mammoth graceful creatures. We also did a Dunes Tour which was really neat, including these amazing beach shacks. We took a trolley tour and learned how the houses on Long Point were sailed over the Bay and relocated on Commercial Street. We went up the Pilgrim Monumentand got to see the whole town laid out below, quite a view! And of course the food was delicious - we had a list of all the places we wanted to eat but could not make it to all of them (we will have to come back I guess!).You are both so lucky to have a house in such a dynamic, interesting seaside town. I wanted to let you know that I thought it was really nice that you kept in communication with us. It definitely added a more personal touch to our stay.Thank you both for sharing your home with us.

Doonbuouys rewarded us in 'SPADES' We all enjoyed our visit to your 'Beautiful Doonbuouys' and wonderful Cape Cod. We are assembling, from the myriad of photos taken, an album of the mamy, many wonderful moments and memories we have. It was a delight and pleasure to look after 'Doonbuouys'; after all, 'Doonbuouys' rewarded us in 'Spades'.

Thanks!! What a wonderful vacation we had in this great house whose complete comfort was only surpassed by the splendid views. The weather was ideal for sunbathing on its decks and for enjoying the beach. We loved the combination of the house's privacy and its easy walking access to restaurants, galleries, bars, shops and shows. We took advantage of many of the wide range of activites including cycling on the National Seashore tracks, dune rides and the very memorable whale watching.

'Doonbuouys' is itself a Contemporary & Bright Destination, with Commanding Views

Date of Stay: 07/10/10 Review Submitted: 04/19/11

We loved our stay at 'Doonbuouys' ... what a fantastic home! ...and that's how it felt, like our home away from home - so much more special than a unit or a condo. The owners Iain and Sean have clearly labored over every aspect of this superb dune top property, from the clever contemporary bright design to the original paintings by Sean throughout the house - no cheap prints in sight! Iain is a great host and pays personal attention to visitors by phone as well as by email. The view is spectacular! You can see the sea from most of the rooms and there is a commanding view of the entire Pilgrims Monument that cannot be seen from town center. You have the best of both worlds - you can sip cocktails on several different balconies, while watching the sunset and then walk to town in five minutes to enjoy the nightlife and street scenes; but then return to the quiet of this hidden gem for a great nights undisturbed sleep. We are from Arizona and to be able to enjoy sea breezes blowing right through the house was so refreshing. This house is as much a destination as Provincetown or the Cape itself - a real treasure - we will be back!

We had a great trip, partially because we were staying in a perfect location -- neighborhood environment but still walking/biking distance to Commercial street, and an easy bike or drive to the beach. The house is between the beach and the shopping/nightlife -- perfect. We had a particularly hot week so we wished for air conditioning, but it's likely perfect with the breeze 50-51 weeks out of the year. Our "hosts from afar" are great guys, totally accomodating, very gracious.

Iain and Sean, I loved your home and felt very comfortable and relaxed the moment I arrived. Provincetown is a GREAT place to visit. We had a lot of fun. The town is so friendly and I love the relaxing atmosphere as well as the shops and the adventures seeing the Whales and Seals. Watching the sunsets from the 2nd floor balcony and all the windows and views from all floors were spectacular. This was my first time using the internet to rent a vacation home so I thank you for making it so easy. I appreciate all the information you shared. I feel like I left a piece of Heaven behind so I hope to come back soon. Thanks Again, Barb

Iain and Sean's three-level house is perched on a hill on a cul de sac in a quiet, VERY upscale residential neighborhood. The house is in the hilly far west end of town, a short distance away from the shops/restaurants/bars on Commercial Street. In this neighborhood, the houses are spaced far apart, so you can't really see or hear your neighbors. From the top and middle decks of the house, there are magnificent views of the water in the distance, and the sunsets are especially spectacular! They've maintained the natural landscaping on the property, so there is lots of privacy in the house. The house is conveniently located a short walk/bike ride to the entrance of the Cape Cod National Seashore and the very popular Herring Cove Beach. The house is modern, well-maintained, comfortably furnished, and sleeps six adults. Since each bedroom/bathroom combo is on a different level of this house, it's perfect for groups of friends, which is what we had during our three week stay! They've wired the house with two separate stereo systems and a Wi-Fi network, which worked perfectly. If you need to stock up on heavier items like water or soda, the Stop & Shop supermarket is a quick drive from the house. We and our friends enjoyed our stay thoroughly and have a better appreciation of how special and magical Provincetown is! If you're looking for a convenient, comfortable place to stay that is just a tad removed from the crowds on Commercial Street, I'd recommend this house for its location, views, easy access, and comfort.

June 2008 We had a wonderful time in Cape Cod and Boston. We loved Doonbuouys, its a very special house in a very special situation. We had a really relaxing time - beach trips, walks, bike rides, whale-watching, eating far too much at great restaurants,, trips to a few other places on Cape Cod. We thought that P'town is one of the nicest places we have been to; such charming people and so welcoming too. The house is great...and we did love being able to use all the space. Thank you again for all your help with our holiday- we had a brilliant time and loved your house.

It was a treat staying in this house. It was very comfortable for our family of 4 and an easy bike ride to town. The views from the deck and inside the house were lovely and peaceful and made staying home as pleasant as going out. The owners were friendly, helpful and went out of their way to accomodate. I would definitely go back to this house and would recommend it highly to a family or a couple as their home away from home in Provincetown!
