Absolutely perfect weekend-getaway, place to stay. On the quieter end of Commercial St which was perfect for us…nice restaurants and art galleries. The house itself is perfect, quant rustic cottage feel, right on the water…absolutely stunning.

Glad you had a good time at our house! You are welcome back anytime.
Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect space, location, vibe, view. Old world in- spoiled Provincetown literally feet from the water. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Alain.

You’re welcome! We are glad you had a good stay and could reconnect with some of your childhood! Yay to Old Provincetown!
We enjoyed our stay so much. This was located in the artsy district of p-town. This particular accommodation really added to our experience. Waking up to the ocean brings a peace to you. Alain was very accommodating, as we were not easy renters. Our dogs were high maintenance as they needed to be kept cool. The people of the town were very welcoming. I highly recommend renting this amazing waterfront apartment.
Alain is a wonderful and communicative host in addition to the property being just as advertised. The property is clean and Alain was very responsive throughout booking and our stay. Although we stayed during a colder time (no ocean dips for us), the view was beautiful and the space was cozy. The beach is literally at the back door and it was a mere ten minute walk to the hustle and bustle of Commercial Street festivities. I would absolutely recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy their stay in P-Town!
The view! The view! The view! This unit was incredible for waking up and looking at the Cape Cod Bay. It is convenient to grocery stores, galleries and restaurants. Alain is quick to respond to needs. A great place to stay on the water in Provincetown.

We’re glad you had a good stay! It was a pleasure having you. Too bad I missed you before you left.
The apartment was in an amazing spot. It was an older apartment. It was clean, functioning, and comfortable. We met Alain on the way in and he couldn’t have been nicer. Everything was so well organized we didn’t ever need him but we knew he was there. We had a great stay at the apartment and would stay there again.

Great! Glad you had a good time. You're welcome back anytime.
A smallish, (cozy) one bedroom ground floor apartment, with fantastic waterfront views... and a deck overlooking the water/shallow tidal beach . It is on the west side of town where most of the artist galleries are located and two of P'Town's best restaurants steps away. Parking is an issue, as it is throughout P'Town

Glad you enjoyed the waterfront views, James! We are looking into getting dedicated parking spots for next season. Parking shouldn't be an issue in the off season. We are on the East side of Provincetown by the way. It was great chatting with you, James! Come back anytime.
This is a great one bedroom dog friendly apartment right on the water. Alain was very attentive and friendly. He also stays at the rental so if you need anything at all he is right there on location. The only feedback apart from it being a great location with a great host is to convey to guests that this apartment is not air conditioned. We were in p-town during July and it was very very hot even though Alain provided us with extra fans. It got very very warm inside during the day. The listing did imply that there is a thermostat that guests may control down to 60 degrees. That is not the case in this unit. I was up front with Alain about the fact that we were very warm and he did like I said provide fans but we needed the extra boost of an air conditioner. Thank you to our hosts again for allowing us to bring our dogs as they are family. Arlo (our dog)particularly liked Alain. Thank you again!

Thanks for your detailed review. I loved your dog Arlo and am glad I saved him from that bug! We come from Europe and didn’t grow up with an AC culture. We enjoy being outside in the water when it’s warm, and turning on the fans and opening the doors & windows to get some sea breeze when it’s hot. That being said we want to consider our guests’ needs. So we just got a portable AC as a backup available upon request if the guests are too hot. That being said, I updated the listing to make it clear that this rental does not normally come with AC. I also updated the listing to clarify that by ‘thermostat’, I meant ‘heat thermostat’ (I grew up in another country and am not too familiar with the terms). Sorry for the confusion.Thanks for your polite feedback!
Nestled in the heart of Provincetown, this 1-bedroom waterfront vacation rental is a true gem. The semi private beach and deck offer an unparalleled sense of seclusion and tranquility, making it the perfect retreat from the bustling town life. The ocean views from the deck are simply breathtaking, especially during sunrise when the sky paints a canvas of vibrant colors. The deck itself is well-equipped with lounge chairs and umbrella, round dining table and 4 chairs, providing a comfortable spot to relax and soak in the serene atmosphere.
The interior of the rental is open and bright, with all the amenities one could need for a comfortable stay. The appliances, dining ware, utensils etc. in the kitchen allow for easy meal preparation. There is no AC but our stay it was not crazy hot and the Ocean breeze and fans kept it cool. One of the highlights of this rental is its location. It’s just steps away from all the fun of Commercial Street’s shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants, yet it offers a peaceful haven where you can unwind after a day of exploration. Overall, this vacation rental is an great choice for anyone looking to experience the charm of Provincetown while enjoying the luxury of private beach access and stunning ocean views. It’s an experience that combines soulfulness, serenity, and scenery in perfect harmony.

About the host
Hosted by Alain
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.
