About this property

Beachfront on our private beach! Driftwood Cottage - Pipers' Shore

Pipers’ Shore Cottages are 3 cottages nestled on an acre and a half of private beach front property in picturesque North Truro. Our idyllic Beach Point location offers 120 feet of private beach on one of the nicest bathing beaches on Cape Cod. Our beach offers spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay, Long Point Lighthouse, and Provincetown. Pipers’ Shore Cottages are ideally situated to provide guests with a quiet comfortable home base close to many of the best vacation, dining, and entertainment opportunities the Outer Cape has to offer. Each cottage has a private deck or porch with amazing views where guests can relax and enjoy time with their families and friends. Guests looking to take in the natural beauty of the Outer Cape will be able to visit the nearby Cape Cod National Seashore and Race Point. Naturalists will find the birding at Beech Forest excellent or a whale watching trip exciting. Vibrant Provincetown is mere minutes away and can offer those interested in shopping many interesting shops and galleries. Foodies will find excellent restaurants and bars within a short ride from the cottages. Those looking for cultural events, music, or theater will be rewarded by many of the performances available throughout the season. Romantics will appreciate climbing the steps at Highland Lighthouse for beautiful views of the Cape or walking at sunrise or sunset on the unspoiled beaches. Those looking for more active pursuits will find that biking, water sports, hiking, and outdoor opportunities abound. Families will appreciate the nostalgic outdoor drive-in movies, miniature golf, and evening ice cream tastings together.

For your convenience, we offer three separate cottages. These can be rented individually or together for larger gatherings. Few properties in the area allow the degree of flexibility in terms of accommodations and the potential privacy that Pipers' Shore Cottages offer.

Driftwood is our most spacious cottage. It was built in the 1890s and is one of only a handful of the original homes left at Beach Point. It allows up to 8 guests to rest in three comfortable bedrooms and on a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. It is charming and adorned with period characteristics including a wraparound porch, wide pine floors and wainscoting. That is not to say it isn’t modernized and updated with modern appliances and amenities. The cottage has been recently updated and has many amenities that our guests desire. Driftwood is air conditioned and has an enclosed private outdoor shower. A gas fireplace allows for cozy evenings when the weather is cool. A washer and dryer is available for guest use.

If our rental calendar is booked, please consider our sister cottages at this location. Our Siren Cottage is VRBO listing 2260065 and Sea Glass Cottage is 2261025. Additionally, we have two cottages located at Corn Hill in Truro. Corn Hill Cottage #8 is VRBO listing 1040263 and Corn Hill Cottage #11 is 2159513.

Perfect Beach Get Away

Myself and 6 friends stayed here for a long weekend and it was amazing. The perfect amount of space, a beautiful home, and the beach is beautiful and right there! Also there’s a free bus right to Provincetown. We’re already thinking about booking again!

This was a great place for my bachelorette party! Right on the beach and in a beautiful cottage. It also involved only a short drive to Commercial St with lots of windows to look out onto the water. We were so appreciative of Brice & Michelle's kind communications leading up to our stay!

Highly recommend

This cottage was a short 10 minute drive to Provincetown. It was convenient in that it was close to P-Town but felt like we were on our own private slice of the ocean. The home is tastefully decorated, filled with all the necessities for a comfortable stay, and close to the highway for heading to nearby towns. Clean, cute and comfortable. Loved it! Would stay again.

Great location close to P-Town and Beaches

We had a great stay - this was a perfect location, 10 mins to everything in the area. So nice to walk to the bay with coffee in the morning and in the evening for sunset and pictures. Days Market down the street is perfect for breakfast, lunch and local beer, etc. The cabin itself was perfect for a couple of days. We had a major heat wave and can attest to the a/c working perfectly. We traveled with our family ages 8-75. There is only one bathroom but that didn’t deter us and we’re so glad because the location and charm of the property more than makes up for it. One note - the stairs have a half railing on the top half so you can’t grip it fully until halfway down the steps. Thanks for a wonderful family trip to the Cape!

Booked this trip at random wanting to experience the cape. I asked my family and partner to join! Beyond glad I did. This trip was amazing! Beautiful location and I even got engaged!!!! Dinner in Chatham, night out in Provincetown, and whale watching in cape cod!!! Truly one of the best experiences!!! The house was cozy and was just perfect! Easy to get places and the market down the road was 10/10!!! I can’t express enough how happy I am with the entire thing!!!

Our stay

The house was great! Outfitted perfectly. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. We loved the house and our stay!On Saturday, though, someone who said they were the property manager, let himself in our front door while we were there. That was Saturday and our checkout wasn’t until Sunday. We were out on the back deck and I heard the front door open. It seemed strange that someone was inspecting the property before we even checked out? He said he would come back another time.

Cousin's getaway!

We had the best stay! I can't say enough wonderful things about this house. Very accommodating for our group, and my 1 yr old. The house is spectacular! Close, easy walk to the beach. Straight shot to Far Lands- maybe less than a 5 min drive, making it super easy to get downtown. Kitchen was very well stocked with every appliance, dishes, cutlery etc. Beds were comfy ( queen room worked well with a pack n play in it) and the owners were very helpful and accommodating. I didn't realize when booking it had an outdoor shower.. which was lovely after the beach! Neighbors share parking lots, but it didn't matter as it's still super private. We all hope to make this our new yearly rental location !

Beautiful beach get away

When the worst you can say about a a place is that you wish you booked longer it's a good feeling. The house is just perfect. The decorations give it a wonderful cape feeling, but in a really natural way where we kept asking, "... where can we buy that bowl (lamp)?"The house is right on 6A, but is quiet and the moment we walked inside it was like a little oasis. The private boardwalk to the beach is one of the highlights. The water in this part of the bay is especially calm and perfect for families with small children, or adults in our case. Every morning we would take our coffee to the beach and just relax to the quiet sound of the waves lapping on the beach.The beds were super comfortable, fast Wi-Fi, outdoor shower for rinsing off the beach if needed and ample parking rounded out everything that was great about our stay and we would definitely rebook again.

Cape Escape

We loved our time at the cottage! The location can't be beat and allowed for the kids to run around on the beach without having to leave home. It was our first visit to Truro and we fell in love with the convenience and low-key vibe. I highly recommend reading the travel guide provided by the owners. Restaurant recommendations were on point and I felt like a local with all my newfound knowledge. We can't wait to visit again, thanks for having us!

Wonderful Old Cape Cod Cottage

Just spent a perfect week in this darling cottage. It’s even more charming and cozy in person than in the photos - we were so pleasantly surprised! The owners have done a great job decorating and equipping the place with anything you could possible need, and responded quickly to several questions we had. Great location - steps to the beach, and just a few miles from Ptown.

About the host

Hosted by Brice and Michelle McKane

Host profile image
I was raised on Cape Cod and remember special times with my family and friends on the beach during the summers. I now live in Texas and had been looking for a property to keep my roots on the Cape so that my children can have these same experiences. Our family found what we were looking for at Pipers' Shore Cottages and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a location that would allow larger gatherings for family and friends. The three cottages when rented together will provide ample sleeping space for up to 18 guests.

What makes this property unique

The private beach has phenomenal views of Provincetown, Long Point Lighthouse, and Cape Cod Bay. The beach is a bay side beach and is calm and perfect for families with young children.
