About this property

PTOWN WEST END COTTAGE: Charm, privacy, close to everything & affordable.

We're surrounded with uncertainty and we need a break from our new reality. I'm keeping our cottage affordable as possible to those who value Ptown's culture and need a respite from MAGA.

Our stand alone cottage is 300 sq ft, plus a sleeping loft. Two blocks from Commercial Street, The Boatslip and Joe Coffee. Set way back from the road and in a quaint small association, it's perfect for two people. The cottage gives you the relaxing get-away you deserve while being close to everything.

The full kitchen has granite counter tops and full size appliances. The living area has a TV with Internet access, bluetooth music, and a full sleeper sofa. There is a dining area with intimate seating. The loft with skylight is a cozy retreat with a queen-size mattress.

Sit back in our Adirondack chairs in front and drift off looking at the gardens. A patio in back with a small grill abuts conservation land. Either are the perfect setting for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails.

Herring Cove Beach is a two-minute drive away or a 15 minute walk through the side streets of Ptown. The unit also offers two off-street parking spaces. AC for hot days and heat for cool nights.

We've been renting our cottage for over 10 years. Guests love our space because it is reasonably priced while providing you with everything you want for your vacation.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely time in this very quaint cottage. It was in a great location, nice and quiet, yet just a short walk into town. It had everything you'll need, including the convenience of having a washer and dryer. The check in process is very easy and straightforward. Plenty of towels available, and very clean. Designated parking was also very convenient. The AC worked well and all the essentials were present in the kitchen. Having Stop and Shop a short walk away was also convenient. I would highly recommend staying here--we will be back!

Very cute cottage in a fantastic location. Easily walkable to everywhere, and having the supermarket so close was so convenient. Only a short distance to the Boatslip but so peaceful and quiet. A perfect amount of space for a couple and their small dog. I loved the sitting area outside for coffee every morning. The landscaping made it such a nice and quiet environment, even though it’s on two way main street, you didn’t hear anything. Super easy check-in. Well priced, dog friendly, and two parking spots. Will definitely be back.

Excellent P-town place! Location was great, permitting walking to both East and West ends and all venues. Convenient, easy parking and access to the dog park or drive to other places on the cape. Well equipped with washer, dryer, dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, TV, air conditioning, and a grill. The loft bedroom area was comfortable, however, required a "use with caution" stair-ladder. The outside setting with Adirondack chairs and flowers was sweet with plantings, which also provided insulation from the street. The host responded very quickly to questions before the rental and a question about the internet connection during the rental. Overall, the rental was very comfortable and attractive.

Great little cottage

This little cottage was a terrific place to stay. Check in and checkout was simple. It was nice to have a kitchen and grill available. David was a terrific host. Very responsive and helpful. The cottage is in a great location. You can walk to almost anywhere you want to go. The beaches are a bit far to walk to, but the PTown shuttle is free, dog friendly and convenient. We took it to the beach several times. We had a great stay.

Retreat

I can’t begin to say how appreciative we are for our stay. My wife and I recently had a fire in our home and we were temporarily displaced with our dogs. The owner was understanding and respectful which made a stressful time in our lives less difficult. My wife and I (and canine children) are extremely thankful.

Just as advertised and described,

All the positive reviews and descriptions are accurate. The cottage is in great condition, well appointed and very convenient with a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The cottage was very clean. The property is very conveniently located a few feet from a grocery story and a short walk to restaurants and Commercial and Bradford Streets. The owner communicated with me well with check-in directions which were clear and offered suggestions for an easier stay. During my two week stay, there was an imminent threat of severe weather in the form of a hurricane. The owner communicated everything that may need to be done and kept me up-to-date. The one piece of advice I would leave regarding this cottage is that if you have any physical limitation that would prevent you from climbing to use the loft bed, this may not be the place for you. I would gladly rent this cottage again in the future.

PERFECT!!!

My partner and I departed Maryland at 5:30am on Saturday morning. We arrived in Provincetown at 2pm. Traffic was light and it was a pleasant drive. The West End Cottage was ready when we got there. It was clean, neat, and the location is excellent. The cottage had everything to make our stay complete! It had coffee, salad dressing, spices. Really, too much to mention....but, every need was met. The shower was better than the one we have at home!! At night, it was sooo quiet...sleep came easy! A 2 minute walk to Commercial St. and Stop & Shop supermarket is two houses down...super convenient. We sampled most of the popular restaurants in town...each one as awesome as the one we tried the night before. Try the Post Office Café!! It was a fantastic vacation! The only negative was that the week was over way too fast!! We have never felt so rested. Even our little dog loved it. David is an awesome host. He is responsive and very attentive. He's thought of everything. We rate this lodging "F" for FANTASTIC. Thanks David!

Cozy cottage in a great location

My husband and I could not have enjoyed our stay in this wonderful, private cottage that was perfectly located for all of our needs and wants. We stayed for 2 weeks and didn't have to move our car once. It had all the amenities we needed and then some. Communication with the owner was great and really made us feel welcome. We would highly recommend staying here to enjoy your Provincetown visit to the fullest!

Ideal location in the West End of Provincetown!

We rented this property for the first 2 weeks of July 2022 and could not have been more pleased. It was exactly as advertised, nice cozy small cottage, with all the amenities needed for a carefree stay for 2. The location is the best part! Most people assume Shank Painter is off the beaten path, but it is ideal location to all the West End has to offer. It is a 2 block walk to the Boatalip for tea and yet far enough away from Commercial to be quite and private. The cottage is situated behind a beautiful garden well back from the street so it is wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The grocery store is steps away, so convenient for quick trips. The gym and home rental are also 2 blocks away. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful property!

Cute and convenient

Stayed 3 nights to attend a wedding. Everything was great. Super close to the Stop and Shop and other essential stores and just a few blocks to Commercial Street. The cottage is set back from the road which helps since Shank Painter is a busier road. Way better than a hotel and the convenience of a kitchen/ grill and washer/dryer. Will be back soon!

The cottage is a wonderful place to stay! The location is great…walking to distance to town, the dog park, bike rentals and groceries. The layout works so well, and the extra outdoor space is a treat for coffee and drinks. It was fully stocked and we had everything we needed for a week’s vacation.

Loved our stay here! Hope to book again next year!

We loved our stay here The place was adorable but well laid out so there was room for my husband and me and our two dogs. Great location... Right next to Stop n shop, down the street from the dog park, and a very short walk to commercial Street. It was great having a washer dryer and a dishwasher (though I really didn't miss my garbage disposal) The only negative thing I have to say is the back area was a little neglected and the grill was clean...not what I expected, but it was fine. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful stay, will be back!

My wife and I both thought this cottage was perfect for our week-long visit to Provincetown. Everything was spotless when we arrived. Convenient parking, friendly neighbors, short walk to town and a short bike ride to Herring Cove Beach, where we went almost every day. Short walk from a grocery and several fantastic restaurants. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout made it easy for us to keep clean and be prepared for any occasion. The host, David, was very responsive and went the extra mile to accommodate a special request. We can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
We've had this cottage for 12 years now. We arrived in Ptown upon the recommendation of a friend. By the end of our first weekend here, we knew it was the perfect retreat. Now more than ever!!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a small, affordable, cottage where we can get away from it all and enjoy the people of Provincetown. That the cottage actually offers some privacy in a densely populated village is a huge bonus.

Once here, you don't need to get back into your car until you leave. You can walk to the beaches, town and Stop and Shop. If you rent a bike, the entire National Seashore is yours, and you can store the bikes out back while you stay.
With a full kitchen and wifi, the place will feel like home as soon as you arrive.

What makes this property unique

We think it's the perfect combination of charm and accessibility to town and the beaches. We manage it to develop long-term guests. We're responsive if anything should come up during your stay. You're talking to me not a management company. You know I'll do everything I can to make your stay memorable.
