About this property

Rustic Retreat at The Old Post Office-Walk to Truro Vineyards

Your peaceful cottage in North Truro with tons of charm awaits you! Inside, you'll find an eclectic but cozy living room which features a sofa bed, seating, TV & wood burning stove. Eating area and galley kitchen lead you to the sleeping quarters. The large bedroom features a queen bed and a twin bed with a twin trundle. Off that is the smaller bedroom with a full bed. The best part is unwinding after the beach in the outdoor shower.

What once was the old North Truro Post Office is conveniently located and a 5 min walk to the winery, captains choice & salty market. Walking distance to the bay, 5-10 min drive to some of the beautiful beaches of the National Seashore. Enjoy a night out in P-town which is a 12-15min drive.

Our little slice of paradise is waiting for you! The old post office is a piece of my heart and while we can't be here as frequently as we may like, we're happy to share and have guests experience the cape and fall it the way we have! The property used to be two separate buildings, the old post office and the postmasters house. In the 70s, my grandfather and his brother combined the two properties to make it the charming cottage it is today! My family has enjoyed vacationing here for generations and there is surely no place like the Cape! The space is unique, but comfortable. Small in sq footage, but roomy enough for everyone.

Important to note that *Linens (bedsheets, pillowcases, blankets) & Towels are NOT provided*
Upon arrival beds will be clean with mattress protectors as well as pillow protectors and a light quilt. If you don't wish to pack the linens and towels, there is a local company, The Furies, who you may rent from. There is no washer & dryer on the property, but plenty of laundromats in the area. We have basic toiletries to get guests started, but after you go through those, we ask that you kindly restock.
Bedroom layout: one large bedroom sleeping quarter with full/queen bed and a twin with trundle. Off that room is the smaller bedroom(separated by door for privacy) with a full bed. There is a window AC unit in the larger bedroom which cools for sleeping just fine
We look forward to having you!

The location was ideal for us as we spent our days at the National Seashore. Loved the outside shower and afternoon shade on the front deck. Quaint cottage. It was hot and sunny during our stay. We set up a screen house in the backyard where we ate our meals and played cards in the evening. There is a marsh nearby so the screen house definitely came in handy.

About the host

Hosted by Gretchen

Host profile image
I love sharing our home that’s been in my family for generations with others. We made so many memories here I hope others do the same! I’ve been coming here since a baby, and the home was in my Moms family. She passed away suddenly and I made it my mission to keep this place special and in our family. We want others to experience the beauty of the Cape the way we have!

Why they chose this property

I love the location and close proximity to ptown, beaches and other beautiful locations. Truro is quiet but close to amenities. We love the winery, captains choice, morning walks with coffee and dogs to the bay. We especially love driving on the beach, it’s spectacular!

What makes this property unique

The history and the living room! This used to be the old north Truro post office, probably back in the 20s or 30s if I had to guess. Once two separate buildings a post office and post masters house, in the 70s my grandfather combined the two making it what it is today. The living room is filled with antiques and random finds over the last 50+ years creating quite a conversation piece.
