    This dog-friendly motel is extremely clean at a beautiful location for a good price in the area. It is located directly across the street from a beach where complimentary beach chairs are provided; it is possible to take fairly long walk on the beach. It is a quick drive into town or about a 1.5 mi walk. The rooms have a mini refrigerator (with a small compact freezer that actually freezes things) and a Keurig coffee maker. Every first floor unit has two comfortable outdoor seats with cushions and a table, perfect for morning coffee or evening chats. We would definitely stay here again!

    Great hotel and wonderful location right in the water. The staff was friendly and rooms were clean. Each room has an outdoor couch which was a perfect spot to relax. And they also provide chairs across the street that have access to the beach if you wanted. It was a perfect spot for us to enjoy cocktails in the afternoon and coffee in the morning. Very cute hotel and overall great experience!

    Pros: When we first drove up the view is to die for. We had the bay view room which was the best room at the hotel. We had a seated area near the front doorway and the side of the room had a cabana style seating area, so comfy and facing the water. Decor has a fun colorful beach vibe. Beach is right across the street and during low tide we were able to walk and collect seashells. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Due to Covid breakfast which was offered wasn't the greatest but it was free. Cons: We had left overs from dinner but no microwave in the room unfortunately. Our visit was the end of April was off season few restaurants were open in Provincetown, but is prime time for whale watching. The walls our thin so we could hear other patrons in the other room. Floor creaked a bit in the corner of the room, so if you are trying to be quiet while the other person rests that's not happening lol. Bathroom although nicely decorated and great water pressure it is a bit small for a large person. Recommendation: Soft touch toilet seat at night it slams closed, although a luxury...A bidet, a microwave, a shuttle into town for evenings when you want to drink and not worry about driving back. A heated pool or jacuzzi would've been nice to take a dip and sip some wine. Maybe a bonfire thing on the beach or fire pit. Just dropping some ideas. But overall a fun time and I would definitely recommend staying there.

    We stayed after a co-worker recommended it as a nice dog friendly place. We found the rates to be pretty reasonable. We visited the weekend before the Memorial Day holiday so this could have played a role in the low rate. Staff was friendly. They offered a free breakfast of cereal, oatmeal, fruit, etc. It was good to get a little something in the belly before heading out town. Quiet area and directly across the street from the beach. We already plan to stay here again in the future.

    We managed to reserve a last minute booking the week of Labor Day Weekend and landed the last reservation on the website. We have no experience with the area and booked this hotel totally by chance and it was a hit! This place is nothing short of fantastic. The view and atmosphere is stunning and is the perfect quiet getaway for those looking for a few days away from the grind of regular life. The hotel has its own private seating overlooking the beach and well as its own beach area for guests. The front desk associates are super friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. Each room is clean, quaint and the perfect size for a couple or small family. The beds are really comfortable and new and the place looks like it just got a massive renovation. The water pressure in the showers is EXCELLENT. The grounds have grills for use, brand new gym and beach chairs and towels for use. Breakfast is included and the bus stop for the bus into town (1.5 miles) is right outside! The view and quiet atmosphere is second to none and probably one of the best kept secrets in the area. Although a bit expensive for the Labor Day weekend, it was worth it for the quality of stay. We are so thankful to have landed this place and will certainly be coming back. Book a stay ASAP!

    I added the flamingo for fun but I liked the bathroom.

    I know that not everyone will agree with me on giving this motel 5 stars. I've stayed at a lot of really exquisite 5 star hotels so I know what to expect in a hotel. The reason I am giving it 5 stars is because it fullfilled all our needs and exceeded our expectations. I found this hotel for only $180 a night during July 4th weekend when other hotels were asking for $350-500 a night. I found that this motel was within 15min from central Ptown and also has a shuttle into town for only $2 a person. I decided to take a chance even though I was a little scared of what I would find when I got here. My friends and I were pleasantly surprised. Firstly, when we arrived we saw the gorgeous beach across the street from the motel. It was serene and inviting. There's also a small platform with four sunloungers with stairs that go down to the beach. When we got to the check-in desk the woman was extremely helpful and gave us a full download of how to get around, where to park and was super friendly. We were also pleased surprised by our room. It was small, but cute , clean and comfortable. The room had a tiny fridge which what helpful during cocktail hour....which was just after breakfast lol. The beds were comfortable. The walls were painted a fresh mint green, the shower had good water pressure and an AC window unit that kept us sufficiently cool. When we checked out we went to the pool at the hotel next door and grabbed a drink. It looks like a hotel that got one of those tv makeovers and is desperately trying to be a cool Miami hotel that charges Miami drink prices. We stayed for a little bit before driving out. Overall I would say that our stay was a complete success. We were all really happy with our stay and I would definitely come stay here again.

    Beach right across from hotel

    Great spot and we could bring our dog Beautiful views from anywhere in hotel, we spent time outside our room on the great sectional and there are beach chairs provided and private access to beach. Jocelyn checked us in and was extremely helpful and friendly. We will definitely be staying here again

    Totally cool. Great minimal beach vibe without forcing it. Nice outdoor sofas, very well designed cozy small room. We loved it, it's location, price, and our experience.

    Lounging chairs outside of each room on the ground level.

    My wife and I were excited for our P-Town adventure. All we wanted was modest accommodations. This beat our expectations. The hotel has been recently remodeled and have new owners. I was worried about previous reviews, but those were before the remodel. The rooms now are clean and modern. The lounging couch outside the rooms are great to watch the sunset or rise. Coffee in my room with a K-cup is always a plus. This place is a winner in my book.

    Clean rooms at a great rate, along with a friendly staff make this our favorite escape. Directly across from the Provincetown Harbor and Cape Cod Bay you can enjoy the beach. On the local shuttle route in season and an easy bike ride into Provincetown.

    Booked a stay at Kalmar Village for Tues, July 1 - Friday, July 5 (3 nights) for a total cost of…read more$820.02 inclusive of tax/fees ($273.34/night). I was meeting up with some friends, and one of their kids wanted me to stay an extra night, so I called the next day to see if it was possible to ADD a night, and Dave P said it was no problem, "simply" cancel through booking.com, and he would just book the room through him directly with no penalty. Made it sound easy. I decided not to go this route. I kept it for just 3 nights - thankfully! Admittedly, I knew the room was non-refundable, especially given the holiday week, but when the trip neared I was not feeling well at all. I have been on chemo since January 2024, and was hopeful I would continue to feel okay enough to travel and relax on a beach (umbrella and sunscreen). I contacted Dave to see if it was possible to get a partial refund. He was unaccommodating to say the least, Dave's sad attempt to explain that since I went through booking.com it would be more difficult to adjust and he would have to rent the room for the amount I paid in order to "consider" a refund. (what happened to it "was so easy" when I wanted to add a day, Dave?) I asked if I could move the dates, and he said that could work. I tried to get a time that wouldn't be busy and said maybe Mid-August. I am a teacher, so flexible in summer. Dave retorted that Aug was far enough away that he could still book those nights regularly, so that didn't work for him. I figured, forget it - I will just try to go and have fun. Dave talks in circles much l ike chasing a leashed dog around a tree. The room was dated, which could have been overlooked, but it was disgusting. See photos. I pulled back the sheets and discovered a blood (?) stain and another suspicious spot. The rug and couch cover were old and both smelled moldy. I was in the room that overlooked the pool on ground level so I had to keep shades draw, but they were broken and didn't slide all the way over. There were those small black flies in the room and hallway that I can only equate to raw sewage. It is weird that the establishment doesn't show many room pictures! Should have been a red flag! To add insult to injury, I was also having issues with neuropathy from the chemo and was struggling to get around. Imagine pins and needles in your feet and then try to walk on sand. I lasted one night and part of Weds. It broke my heart to leave before the 4th of July, but I had to get home. I didn't feel safe at Kalmar, it didn't feel clean, and I was miserable. My doctors recommended I return home to be seen. I explained things to Dave, and even showed him my hair loss and told him I was very sorry. Cancer is such a bitch. I would appreciate at least one night's refund. He just said that he could only "Maybe refund the last night of (my) stay, IF we can get in touch with booking.com AND if he can rent the room in time. I followed ALL of Dave's steps and the room was re-rented. So my refund should have been for one night's stay at approximately $274. I was appalled to get this response. "...we'll contact booking,com to have them readjust the price of your stay as if you had originally booked for 2 nights instead of 3. The 2 night stay avg. rate was slightly higher as an additional discount was incorporated into the 3 night stay rate". Now, I understand these places need to make money, however - it's a medical reason to cancel! I have cancer, not the sniffles or just blowing the guy off. Anyone on chemo will tell you it gets progressively worse, and there are good days and bad days. Dave had less than ZERO compassion. I get it, I took a risk in booking it, but he did very little to work with me. He made me jump through hoops for how much? I thought I would get about $274 back, but he refunded $224 - he NEVER mentioned the rate would change and I would get less back, but took another $50 from me. I suppose I am to be grateful I received some money, but still will never book this place again. There are so many other places down in this area - skip Dave and Kalmar. You can do better!

We stayed in cabin #4...clothes line, picnic table, 2 plastic lawn chairs and charcoal grill outside. Inside was a sofa with a small TV, fireplace and small table with 2 chairs, kitchenette with full size frig, microwave, stove, cabinets had plates, pots and pans, glasses, mugs, etc. Bathroom with shower. 2 bedrooms...1 with 2 twin beds and 1 with a queen bed and dressers. Plenty of closet space. Keep in mind these places are old, so the rooms are tiny and have minimal electric sockets. No air conditioning. No hair dryers or shampoo , only soap and towels. I thought the bed was comfy but my husband didn't. There were plenty of extra pillows. There's a pool but we didn't use it. We made the long walk to the beach and enjoyed it. They do not provide beach chairs or towels. There is no food in walking distance so bring groceries or take a ride to get grub. If you like high end, this is not for you, we are not fussy, as long as its clean, has a shower and a bed...we are good.

    Happy New Year from my happy place!…read more A friend introduced me to Lis Sur Mer three years ago when I was seeking a quiet retreat on the Cape to write, reflect and recharge. My first visit was in July and I was the fortunate beneficiary of a last minute cancelation in the Stable, one of three cottages I'd come to call my home away from home. Since that magical trip I've been back to Lis Sur Mer with my kids, with my dog, with friends and a few times on my own and had the pleasure of staying in each of the cottages. Lis Sur Mer is a quiet retreat in North Truro with three cottages, each with its own unique charm. The owner clearly takes pride in providing the ultimate cape experience from maintaining the natural landscape and foliage of the local environment, to the privacy and deliberate tranquility of each cottage, to the obvious care taken in outfitting the spaces with furniture, artwork and other comforts that extend the peace of the Cape into the peace of my home away from home. The property embodies the natural habitat of the Cape and has its own private beach on the bay where sunsets are spectacular and fellow beach-goers are scarce. The off season rates can't be beat, so I've made Lis Sur Mer my regular destination for a long winter weekend, Thanksgiving, New Years and week-long stays during the warm months. The property staff is attentive and warm. The local shops and restaurants are welcoming and fun to visit. My favorite is Chequessett Chocolate just up the road in North Truro - best cappuccino with almond milk outside of NYC!

Something I had dreamt of, yearned for. Always so crowded. I was searching online one day and I saw Lis Sur Mer. "Artist Cottages." We decided to start a new tradition. Come to the Cape for Christmas. When we got here, it was off the main road, then off the secondary road. We stayed in "The Stable." It was so comfy and cozy and the grounds are amazing. You can walk (in a minute) to the stairs that lead to the beach. The three cottages are just far apart enough for total privacy. Peace. Quiet. I never slept so well in my life. We definitely knew we wanted to come back in the spring. They let us see the Beach Cottage. This was my dream come true! All the windows in front look out at the bay and Provincetown. When you walk in there are high ceilings, beams and charming antiques. Eclectic. Magical. Old Cape Cod. You do not immediately see modern devices, but they are there! The hard wood floors, beams and skylights all catch your eye. There is a fireplace when you walk in, (old fashioned gas) and in the first bedroom a king size bed and a fireplace. Romantic. I also write, and the table in front of the window is perfect. The towels are glorious and plentiful! This comforter seems to keep me at the perfect temperature! (not easy) The proprietor is a good, kind man and if you need anything there are 3 wonderful people here to help you. I could go on but believe me, if you get a chance come stay here. Every person who writes in the visitors book says just about the same things. You will be renewed. Lis Sur Mer is magical! They have a Facebook page. We will be back in June! P.S. If you desire crowds and shopping, Provincetown is down the road! Sincerely, Carol and Bob
