Great location

Family of four stayed here for 10 days. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, shared garden and Provincetown. Beach across the street is great for kids. Our communication with Mike and Peter was excellent. They were very helpful throughout our stay. The cottage exceeded our expectations - the two beds were great and we had everything we needed. We can highly recommend this stylish and cozy cottage.

Great Cottage in the Heart of Ptown!

Truly enjoyed staying at Peter and Mike's fantastic cottage in the heart of one of the best areas of Ptown. The cottage is in a great location, right on bustling Commercial Street and yet tucked away in its own quiet garden oasis. The house itself is very high on 18th Century charm and yet has the convenience of modern amenities and high quality furniture and bedding. Peter and Mike are a pleasure to deal with and could not have been more accommodating during my stay. Their place is a great find!

A glorious Oasis, an architectural gem, gold-standard furnishings, only feet away from Commercial St

The Sailmaker’s cottage is a great resting place, to nourish and renew one’s spirit, through the beauty of the home, and the quiet back yard great for sunning, eating, barbecuing, reading. Exceptionally, it is only a stride away from the famous Commercial street with all the chat, movement, trade and fun that happens there. It is an architectural gem, as the photos display, the furnishings are beautiful and comfortable, the kitchen is super for cooking in. The cottage surpassed all my expectations and the owners are true gentlemen - ready to help or answer questions with whatever you need. Thank you Peter and Mike!

We had a fabulous time staying at Peter & Mike's Provincetown home! The location truly can't be beat; we loved walking out every day right onto Commercial Street to dine, shop, and visit the galleries. We also had front row seats for the Carnival parade from the deck of the adjoining condos. At the same time, because it's set back from the street, you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle while on the property. It's really the best of both worlds.The cottage is absolutely lovely, beautifully decorated, and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed relaxing and having dinner on the patio in the evenings. Parking does require some flexibility, but we found that about half the time we were able to park on the street and the rest of the time we used the private lot nearby where you can park all day for 40 and come and go as you please. If you're looking for a getaway in the heart of Provincetown, this can't be beat.

Historic PTown Perfection

Peter and Mike’s historic sailmaker’s cottage couldn’t have been better. Exactly the right distance from the hustle and bustle of town center in the quite rear of a stately captain’s house, this place is a perfect PTown retreat. Peter and Mike’s place feels like home with meticulous attention to detail. The cottage is very comfortable with plenty of nooks to spread out - perfect for a couple or a small family. Best of of all is the quick and easy access to the water for swimming in the harbor or to spend a few hours on the town beach.

Sean and Chris were the perfect guests. They not only left our place in tip top shape, but even assured the indoor and outdoor plants were well tended. Hope to see them again!
