Nice, cosy place with a large beautiful, 2nd floor private deck that overlooks the bay. We just returned from our second stay here. The deck, for us, is really the draw. We prefer this location in the more quiet side of town, near the galleries and art museum. Alain is a great host and is very friendly and responsive. We'll return here, for sure.

This was our first travel experience to Provincetown, we were pleasantly surprised of the proximity of the apartment to the beach and the ability in the early to walk down to the shore during the low tide and enjoy meeting other dog walkers along the way to the town pier. Being centrally located on the eastern end of the town, leisurely walking from the pier it is an amazing discovery of galleries, shops and a variety of coffee shops and restaurants. The apartment offered an exceptional porch facing the bay , having great view all day from sunset to sundown. While on the descent you can hear the boats siren's while leaving the pier. At night you can see the town illuminated , the pier and the Pilgrim tower.Kitchen appliances are new and well maintained, If you plan to do some cooking this very little counter space, it would be appreciated if a mobile island was available as there is ample space for one. The bathroom is new and well lit and well ventilated . As we encountered exceptional cold spring weather heat and hot water was always available. Parking in Provincetown is available along commercial street but pricey. We would definitely come back to that apartment it was a perfect fit for our needs kitchen, front porch and proximity to beach and town center.

Awesome location right on the beach, close to all the restaurants, bars, and hot spots. Felt very safe which was a big plus for me. Thanks to my host who was readily available to me which I was surprised to find but pleasantly. I would definitely recommend it to others and would love to go back next year.

It was exactly as pictured - perhaps even bigger. Alain is a great host and the property is classic PTown charming. The only issue was that the upstairs was pretty noisy. We talked with Alain and it worked out. My advice would be to stay on the top floor though (3rd floor). I'd definitely go back.

Little Place, Big Views!

Although small and of an older era, this was a neat, clean, fully functional space decorated with a minimalist beachy vibe which I love. The views were amazing from the porch and we were able to pull our 17 'Boston Whaler close enough to the beach without having to get more than ankle deep to jump on or off. Location for a stay in Ptown was PERFECT. We were close enough to all the shops, restaurants and entertainment on Commercial Street, yet far enough that it was peaceful and retreat like at the house. Our hosts were a delight. They were great with communication and happy to give us history and information about places to go on our visit.

Perfect Perch

My husband and I booked this property for our 4th Bear Week. We love the beachfront location for our pups. Beach walks and bay swims are everything for all four of us. The week was hot- and the bedroom AC kept the whole unit cool. We are out- there are two small groceries/ sandwich shops within walking distance. Location was just close enough to walk to all the events- but far enough away from the noise to enjoy whatever type of beach trip You want. The host lives on or close by- they helped us check in- everything was easy. Communication was quick and efficient. I would stay here again in any season.

Warning for scent-sensitive

The location and view are great. Towels and sheets were strongly scented, causing allergic reaction. Unable to tolerate, which led to an unpleasant stay. Host tried to remediate, but was unsuccessful. He wanted to charge for this, which I felt was inappropriate. He unsuccessfully then tried to make a claim against the property damage protection that I purchased (which was a required extra expense in lieu of very large security deposit). I wouldn't stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Alain

Host profile image
I am a Franco-American filmmaker & editor originally from Paris and splitting my time between NYC, LA & Cape Cod. I love traveling, surfing, making & watching films, art, cooking and just being on the water! It makes me happy to share this special house and my local Provincetown knowledge with our guests!

Why they chose this property

The house is situated on the bay side of the popular, pedestrian and bike friendly Commercial St, yet away from the busy & fun downtown (5mins away by foot). The neighborhood is quiet with many art galleries around. You will enjoy blissful views of sunrises and magic hours over the bay. This is your P'town on the water getaway!

What makes this property unique

The Karilon House is a family owned property since 1963. My sister, my mother and I have been coming to this house every summer of our lives! This house has seen the likes of playwrights Eugene O'Neill & Lauren Hansberry, actress Demi Moore and novelist Ayn Rand. The house features multiple units which can also be rented if you need more space for your group. You will enjoy the gorgeous views of the water during magic hour while sipping a drink inside or on the deck!
