Location: Truro, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA (109 miles from Boston's Logan airport on Outer Cape Cod)
Accommodations: House & Guest House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-9)
Our vacation property is located on a secluded, two-acre lot overlooking Cape Cod National Seashore. The main house, which has been featured in a national magazine and two books, enjoys views of sunsets, and even a peek of Cape Cod Bay and Provincetown from its rooftop deck. The informal Guest House is just down a short trail from the Main House. It has a finely crafted hardwood interior and is perfect for a couple, a small family, or as a "space of our own" for older children. It is available with the Main House or separately.
The Laurel is in one of the most attractive areas in Truro (The Pamet), convenient to Truro center (One mile), Cape Cod Bay (1.3 miles) and the Atlantic Ocean (2.3 miles). Neighboring Provincetown and Wellfleet are packed with shops, galleries, museums, and restaurants. There are water sports, all kinds of fishing, whale-watching opportunities, great biking and hiking trails, and the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast.
Just bring yourself! We supply bed and bath linens, beach chairs, and more. In the main house the kitchen is nicely appointed and fully equipped; there is a full-size washer-dryer, screened porch, whirlpool bath, picnic table, gas and charcoal grills and an outdoor shower with a view. Enjoy quality audio/video system with VCR/DVD/CD, satellite TV, Wi-Fi and free long distance phones in both houses.

Why the Owner Chose Truro
After visiting Cape Cod, specifically the outer Cape, for many years, we jumped at the chance to buy a property when a friend invited us to do it with him.
The Unique Benefits of this House & Guest House
Privacy and natural beauty best describe our location. We abut the Cape Cod National Seashore and have a view of the bay from our rooftop deck. We are only about 1.5 miles from the nearest Bay beach and 2.5 miles from the nearest ocean beach. Less than a mile to a quiet village with grocery/deli, fish store, park and one of the best restaurants on Cape Cod.
