About this property

Provincetown: Water view, 3 BR House, Parking, Free Wifi, outdoor shower.

Enjoy Fabulous Water views & Beach Access from this Historic Beach House.
Situated in the East End of Provincetown, on Mayflower Heights, this quaint quiet area captures the imagination of an era gone by.
Enjoy your vacation in this spotless, well-maintained, eclectically designed private residence.

This hilltop escape provides panoramic views of Provincetown Bay and the coast from the Long Point Lighthouse to Wellfleet . There are water views from just about every room and the side yard.

The first floor is a spacious area consisting of a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, and at the front of the house 'the porch' which captures the fabulous views while you eat, read or relax. There's also a laundry room and a full bath.

The second floor has two bedrooms with water views, a third bedroom and another full bath.
From this property there is a deeded beach access directly across the street which will put you into the warm waters of Cape Cod Bay. The Bay allows daily swimming and when the tide goes out you can walk for miles and enjoy the gifts from the sea.

After a day at the beach you'll find yourself just over a mile away from Provincetown Center where all the fun is. Local restaurants from clam shacks to fine dining, art galleries, shops, shows, and nightlife.

The center of town is just 1.5 miles away and is easily accessible by walking, bike, a cab ride, Uber or by taking the Town Shuttle bus ($2). The shuttle runs every twenty minutes and you can flag it down anywhere including right in front of the house. The shuttle accommodates bikes and pets.

When it's time to escape from the excitement of the Town, return home and cool off with a quick dip and then a refreshing outdoor shower. Perhaps relax with a cold drink in the large private yard with fabulous water views of the bay. The brick patio provides a gas grill, clothesline, lounge chairs, and an outdoor dining area.

The outer beaches a.k.a. the National Seashore (Race Point and Herring Cove) are located within three miles of the house.

The best show in town? The sunsets at Herring Cove Beach every evening. No cover charge.

A nice relaxing house with a wonderful view

Everything was very smooth, the house was very nice, quiet, and secluded. It is perfect for a nice relaxing getaway. There’s lots of space and tons of history in the house itself. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Great PTown Getaway

We had a great stay over the 4th of July weekend. The "Mayflower House" is great, the pictures say it all, with plenty of space both inside and out. Mariellen showed us the house/property upon arrival and was responsive if/when needed.

Mayflower House

The house is roomy enough to lounge, and the breeze from the ocean is great. All amenities are good for cooking and BBQ. The property owner is very responsive and friendly. I wouldn't recommend it for someone disabled or who has problems walking because the stairs are steep.A cozy place to stay.

Fun, seaside getaway!

Lots of space to spread out and enjoy yourself on your own or with others. Outdoor shower is the best! Short walk across the street to bayside beach. We set up camp over there all week and just walked back to the house to resupply. Enjoyed an great cookout with friends on one night. The house is made to host! Enjoy!

Beautiful, spacious gem

We stayed for a week in August at Mariellen's lovely Mayflower cottage. The house is equipped with every item you could need, from serving platters, to washer/dryer, coffee maker, linens, to a book to suit every interest. While temps were high the week we were visiting, there was always a gentle breeze and shade to be enjoyed at Mariellen's beautiful outdoor seating space. The location is great: a 5 minutes walk to the beach, an easy bike ride into town, and you can wave down the shuttle bus right down the stairs on Commercial Street. Mariellen was a great host, too! Met me on arrival to talk me through things and was available via text. When it came time to check out, I found I had a flat tire! Mariellen appeared to help out. When a stubborn lug nut prevented us from changing it ourselves, she directed us to a service center that could help. Note to the wise: If you are driving up, consider your car's clearance. The driveway loops around from Commercial Street to the rear of the property and it's a little bumpy. My little volvo had to creep along. Additionally, the trees above the parking spots were letting out a little sap - nothing elbow grease couldn't get out, but you may want to check every few days to keep any droplets from hardening.

A slice of heaven in Provincetown

We loved our stay at The Mayflower. The place was well appointed and stocked, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the breeze in the yard kept us cool. The outdoor shower was a HUGE hit - super private and well-appointed. If you're looking for a classic Cape adventure, look no further. We plan to come back!

So,so.

The view from the porch is very nice but obstructed. The property is very natural. The owner ran a weed Wacker around the house at 9am Fri morning. The owner spent most of the time in the house next door. The outdoor space abuts that house (referred to as her studio), making it uncomfortable in terms of privacy. We used the outdoor space once. It was nice to have a large grill. However, the Adirondack style chairs, around the picnic table, made it impossible to eat outdoors. The stairs from the main floor are extremely narrow, making it difficult to maneuver luggage. The stairs from the house to the street are very steep, very long, and splintered. It's not as close to the beach as it appears and this particular beach is covered in seaweed and it smells. The positive is that it wasn't crowded. We packed up and traveled to and from Race Point, which was beautiful, but not what we wanted to do. Upstairs shower is very small. Bedrooms are tiny and extremely close together. Barely an inch between each door. Only two bedrooms have AC. The unit in one of the bedrooms is loud and only inches from your face. While the kitchen was well stocked, I would bring spices,etc. Only one bath towel per guest. I would not recommend bringing a pet. The house on the right side of the rental is even closer than the owners studio to the left. The renters in that home had dogs that would bark and cause ours to bark. We could also hear their baby crying (not a problem other than the crying also caused our dogs to bark) Although a couple of miles is certainly walkable, there are no sidewalks until you get very close to downtown. We caught the shuttle once. The second time we tried to catch it, we waited 45 minutes (supposed to run approx every 20) and finally loaded up the car and drove. The third and final time we attempted the shuttle, 6 people, with a baby stroller stood by the road and the shuttle flew by us. While the place is eclectic and has New England charm, based on the cost, for the week, along with the additional charges, it was not what we expected.

A Little Slice of Heaven on Earth

Mayflower House has the feel of days gone by...It is a true gem and a most delightful place to have your vacation by the sea. My husband, sister, daughter and I enjoyed a week at the house, torn between just wanting to have lazy days relaxing on the porch or heading into town to enjoy carnival week. We managed to do both, as well as get trips to the beach across the street(easy walk), and Herring Cove, and Race Point beach where we were entertained by the seals swimming by close to shore. It was always nice coming back "home"and having plenty of showers and space to accommodate the family getting ready to go out for the evening. The beds were very comfortable and the ocean breeze lulled us to sleep. Mariellen was such a wonderful host and took good care of us. We definitely would return to Mayflower House. Thank you Mariellen for creating such a wonderful space...

First of all, the location is incredible. The house itself is SO charming and comfortable. Beds are comfortable, everything was clean, the views are so nice!! We loved the front sunroom for our morning coffee and the outside area for our evening cocktails. Overall, our stay was a fantastic experience all around. We will definitely be back.

Charming home!

We stayed at the Mayflower for a week and couldn't have a had a better time. The house is charming and the location is perfect. There are books, games, puzzles to engross yourself in when not enjoying the grill, out door shower, and super close proximity to the beach. Mariellen was very accommodating to us and our dogs. We really loved being able to harvest our own clams at low tide, grill our freshly caught stripers, and walk the conveniently located path behind the houses. The Mayflower is situated in a cozy group of cedar shake homes at the top of a small hill. We could see the ocean, and loved the open air of the sea breeze that lulled us to sleep every night. There were only 2 of us but there was plenty of space for a bigger group to spread out and really enjoy the home itself and the close proximity to P-town, beaches, and restaurants. We really thought very highly of Mariellen, and her efforts to make this home a lot like being in your own retreat. Fully stocked kitchen for entertaining, and plenty of dishes to serve up our sea bounty. We can not wait to return. Thanks again Mariellen for opening your lovely home!

A perfect respite, as always.

This was our fourth year renting the Mayflower cottage from Mariellen, and it was a joy, as always. She is a wonderful and very responsive host, and each year we see new details incorporated into the house to make it even better than before. The Mayflower cottage has wonderful vibes, and being there with our group of friends is pure joy. The screen porch with its incredible view out towards Long Point is the perfect place to sit with a book by yourself, or with a glass of wine and conversation in the afternoon. Multiple sofas in the living room, and the open floor plan mean folks doing dinner prep in the kitchen can still hang out and watch the game or a screening of “Jaws”. The character of this authentic beach house can’t be beat; it doesn’t need any bells or whistles yet the WiFi is fantastic and Alexa will play whatever music you like. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms spacious and clean. Outdoor seating options abound, in case you tire of the gorgeous view from the screen porch. Oh, and the huge outdoor shower tucked away on the side of the house is ideal after a long day at the beach. We are already counting the days until next year. Thank you, Mariellen!

Cute decor and great location

My husband and I had a great time at the Mayflower Cottage. It had a nice view of the bay that I was able to enjoy from the sunroom on the our last day. (It was a cold and rainy earlier in the week). The location was convenient to the main part of town, the National Beaches and the grocery store. It was fairly quiet the whole week until Saturday. I think the houses around book up a lot more on the weekend. We brought our 2 pups with us, a chihuahua and a miniature pinscher. They liked walking on the beach across the street from the cottage's deeded access point. Watch for low tide. It's a lot of fun to walk far out on the beach that would normally be under water. I found lots of great seashells. Just be careful to check for ticks! Lots of ticks in the woods near the parking of the cottage and in the beach grass across the street at the beach. Also, if you have multiple fur babies, make sure you contact Mariellen when you book. VRBO only allows you to choose yes or no for pets, not the number of pets, but she charges $200 PER pet. So you will still owe for additional pets you bring and will need to arrange payment with her. You will also need to vacuum before you leave in case of pet hair. The cottage had all of the things we needed to stay for the week. Wifi signal was great. We made breakfast every day with all of the necessary kitchen tools. Mariellen gave us lots of information on places to go, things to do and places to eat. She was always a call or text away if we needed anything. She was a great host. Everything was super clean. Other Provincetown info: We went whale watching and while I unfortunately got sea sick, we saw several whales including a mama and baby. Definitely worth the trip, just take dramamine just in case. The Truro winery was less than a 10 min drive. They have wine tastings for $10 where you get to try 5 wines and keep the wine glass. Favorite sweet treats were at the Purple Feather on Commercial St. Their gelato is amazing. Favorite restaurant was the Mews on Commercial. Make sure to make a reservation. Food, service and view were outstanding. Bayside Betsy's also had great food and a perfect window seat to the bay.

Old Cape Charm close to Provincetown

Mayflower was a perfect old Cape Cod retreat! The house was impeccably clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. We loved the location which was close to Provincetown yet quiet and secluded with a lovely bay view. Maryellen, the host, was very friendly, very efficient and very hands off after we were settled in. We loved our Mayflower experience!

Mayflower Heights

The Mayflower house was a quiet vacation retreat. The house sits high on a bluff, providing cool breezes and a view of the bay. Although the house had all the amenities we needed, it had a wonderful old fashioned cabin appeal. We began our days with breakfast in the screen porch and ended them with cocktails in the Adirondack chairs. The deeded beach access right across the street was so convenient, as were the buses that took us back and forth to Provincetown. Mariellen was friendly and attentive to everything we needed. Perfect for our family vacation!

Awesome property

First, the owner, Mariellen Serena was great!! She met us at the house, went over everything with us and made sure we knew that if there were any problems (Which there were not) she was available to us 24 hours a day. The property is very quaint. It sits up high on a hill giving us great views out the front porch of the ocean. Beautiful breezes were constant coming through the house. The furnishings were comfortable, we liked the old rustic charm of the decor. While I could go on endlessly I will close by simply saying we will be looking to book this house again in the future. Thanks again Mariellen.

Fabulous time!

My husband, son and daughter, and two of their friends had an amazing time at Mayflower House. Everything you can imagine was provided for comfort and ease, and every corner had something interesting and fun to enjoy. The beds were comfy and even tho it was chilly at night we had lots of warm blankets to stay warm. There was ample room to relax. The small kitchen was well equipped and though we ate out a lot we also cooked some meals. The views were gorgeous and the location just outside town made it quiet and private. It was a short 5 min drive to all the pleasures of Commercial Street. We will definitely be back next year!

Adorable with ocean breezes and views!

Mariellen was very welcoming and reachable. We had one minor issue, but she was quick to respond! The house itself was adorable and has great views of the bay from the front two bedrooms. The screened in porch and out door areas were perfect for relaxing, reading, or doing yoga. There were 6 of that stayed and we each enjoyed our time and the location. The Marilyn Monroe garage was a perfect landmark for cabs, new friends, or knowing where to jump off the shuttle. I would definitely consider staying at this location again.
