My stay at Truro Beach Cottages was pretty good. I stayed in a small cabin close to the beach, so I…read morehad access to the water for early morning walks. My family enjoyed the small community-based cottages with our friends. There were even beach chairs and umbrellas provided for every cottage. There is also a kitchen with a stove and fridge provided next to the living room area. The cottages are small, and you would have to make your own bed. If you need anything like toilet paper, towels, or extra blankets, you should call the main number and they would provide what you need in a speedy amount of time. The only downsides that I can think of regarding the stay included that the beds weren't too comfortable, there weren't enough trash bins, and nowhere to put all of the dirty towels. Checkout also included dropping off your trash at an unknown location and doing a sweep of the houses. Check-in was not cheap so I don't understand why it is that we have to clean the house that we're staying in too. It's a nice place to stay so I recommend it, but definitely keep all of these things in mind.

I am staying in number 2 Wharf Cottage right now. The manager Sarah is amazing- friendly but will…read moreleave you alone. I arrived late on Saturday and she found me Sunday morning reading in the sun on a lounge chair and said something like "oh you look so comfortable there, stay! I'll check you in whenever you are ready." That was just so nice as I was tired from traveling. The vibe is easygoing and full of kindness. Some guests that knew each other had had a celebration and we came back to PRL while they were having dessert. They offered us cake and ice cream and we sat and joined them! Poor Richard's Landing evokes the best of Provincetown - how the community welcomes and supports people. Straight couples, gay men, lesbian women, and trans and non-binary folx were all present during my week on the wharf. There is a shared gas grill, plus bicycles and locks, kayaks, life jackets, floaties, and beach chairs available. Cottage #2 is super cute with a bedroom with a view of the beach and MacMillan Pier, and a table and chairs with the same view in the living area. There is a single bed in the living room- with a trundle underneath! (I think you have to pay extra for a 4th person). No couch, but a cozy reading chair. Galley kitchen is very narrow with a half fridge but has everything you need. Bathroom has a sliding door and a nice hot shower. The toilet is right up against the wall so there's a little bit of maneuvering involved if you are, like me, a little overweight. There are heaters and fans to help control the temperature, and the bay breeze is wonderful. This is a GREAT PLACE. The dune shacks were originally built to help shipwrecked sailors who made it to shore- inside the shacks there was everything a sailor might need to survive- food, clean clothes, a bed- and in the same spirit Poor Richard's Landing is truly a safe harbor. I can't wait to come back.

There are some places that simply feel like coming home, and Ship's Knees Inn is one of them…read more My husband Dave and I spent our honeymoon week here 48 years ago, and we've returned every 5 to 10 years ever since. Each visit reminds us why this beautiful bed and breakfast remains one of our favorite places on Cape Cod. Pete and Denise Butcher are exceptional innkeepers. Warm-hearted, welcoming, and genuinely caring, they treat every guest like family. They know your name, take the time to get to know you, and are always happy to recommend the best restaurants, beaches, golf courses, bike trails, hikes, sunset spots, Cape Cod League baseball games, boat trips, and hidden gems throughout the Cape. The inn itself is charming and impeccably maintained. The rooms are beautifully decorated, comfortable, and relaxing. On our most recent visit, we stayed in the lovely Nauset Suite and immediately felt at home. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, the pool is pristine, and there are inviting patio areas perfect for reading, relaxing, or chatting with fellow guests. One of the highlights of every stay is Denise's wonderful breakfast buffet. Her homemade specialties, including overnight oats and Swedish almond coffee cake, are memorable treats that start the day perfectly. Evenings are equally special. Guests gather around the large fire pit from 7 to 10 p.m., sharing stories, making new friends, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Over the years we've met many wonderful people there, including friends who continue to return year after year. The location couldn't be better. Spectacular Nauset Beach is just a short quarter-mile walk away, offering endless stretches of sand, rolling ocean waves, fresh sea air, beautiful shells, and opportunities to spot whales and other marine life Some of our happiest memories are the evenings spent around the fire pit. Guests gather from near and far, and before long everyone is chatting as if they've known each other for years. We've exchanged travel stories, shared laughs, learned about different parts of the country, and picked up wonderful recommendations. What always amazes us is how quickly we discover a common bond. Whether someone is visiting for the first time or returning for the tenth, we all share an appreciation for the warmth, hospitality, and sense of community that Pete and Denise have created at Ship's Knees Inn. Those fire pit conversations often become as memorable as the days spent exploring Cape Cod. It's easy to see why Ship's Knees Inn earned recognition from Cape Cod LIFE Magazine's Best of Cape Cod Awards, receiving Silver Winner honors in the Bed & Breakfast/Inn category in both 2025 . It is a relaxing, rejuvenating, and peaceful retreat where hospitality is genuine and every guest feels valued. We can't wait for our next visit.

We've been visiting for the…read morepast 15 years, and it's always a pleasure to enjoy a Cape Cod weekend with Innkeepers Denise & Peter at this delightful inn. We've found the rooms to be clean, comfortable and well appointed. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for, and there is a nice pool area as well. The Inn itself is located just a short walk from Nauset Beach, which is super convenient. The town of Orleans has nice shopping and plenty of dining options as well. Denise puts together a wonderful breakfast each morning with a rotation of delicious baked goods and other treats. On this last visit I happened to mention that I love pancakes, and there they were the next morning! Again, if we ever have a special request, Denise & Peter will do everything to make it happen. We are so happy that our friends found this Inn years ago, and invited us to join them, and we've been returning ever since. If you are looking for a nice place for your Cape vacation, look no further.

(PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW)…read more Staff: 5 stars Motel: 1 star My expectations were off, so I want to make sure future travelers are not confused. Despite costing over $200-250/night and boasting "spectacular views" of the bay, this is not a decent motel, nor are the views spectacular (or even acceptable, given the website description). If you're on the second floor, you DO have a view of a fence, some AC units, neighboring trees, and the bay in the far, far distance if you stand in the corner of the porch and squint (see photos). Other rooms have views of the concrete parking lot. Please note that you can book an *entire cottage* in Truro/Wellfleet on the water for the SAME PRICE. Cape View is a run-down motel on a busy street with trucks rattling by all night. The appliances are ancient, the floors and furniture are at a 45-degree angle so things roll off tables, the paint is cracked and peeling (photo), the ceiling is wavy - looks like the roof may be leaking?? - and our door handle was falling off the door. Folks are permitted to smoke on the back patios, so our room often reeked of cigarettes. There are no table lamps, just fluorescent overhead bulbs. The deluxe and kitchenette rooms are handy, but somehow the owners of the Cape View Motel haven't heard of the climate crisis: you'd think they'd have some actual mugs, plates, and silverware rather than just disposable plastic crap. We're 2.5 years into the pandemic, kids. The planet is on fire. It's 2022, won't you please join us?? The worst part is their refund policy. When you show up and discover that the motel doesn't look anything like the photos - that there is no "spectacular view" as advertised - that nothing is new, modern, or pristine, as advertised - that the street noise sucks - that the pool looks nothing like the website pics - you are simply SOL, because the owners have decided that there are *no refunds* once you've seen the crappy rooms. Since their refund policy is buried on the website, I include it here: "Cancellations received 20 days prior to arrival and up to 3 days prior will be charged the full amount of the deposit. Any cancelations within 3 days of arrival will be charged the full cost of the reservation." THAT SAID, the staff here is amazing. The woman who gave us our keys when we arrived greeted us warmly and was always lovely to be around. She sent confirmation emails, gave us info about local restaurants and beaches, and was available for all questions. The staff dealt with every issue quickly, professionally, and kindly. The owners are incredibly lucky to have this staff, as they are the saving grace of this place. This review would be much worse without them. TL/DR: Cape View is a shabby roadside motel on a busy street with no views to speak of, priced well above what it's worth. The staff is amazing as is Customer Service, but I highly recommend renting a cottage or an Airbnb instead.

Jennifer is a wonderful host and is so helpful on the property and what's going on around town. The area is quiet, clean, peaceful. The cottages are fully furnished with all you need in the kitchen. Each cottage is appointed with everything, outdoor showers, bbq grill even charcoal to get you started. And they are Clean. This matters. Some cape cabins or rooms tend to be musty or messy. Sorry, but I've been coming here for 45 years and nothing's changed. Cottage grove cottages are impeccable. This is a quiet refuge from kiddos. Sorry, but that's my take on it. There is no pool, no playground, none of that. Plenty of those elsewhere and that's where the kids are. Go enjoy that if that is what you need. This is quiet and wonderful for adults, couples, singles, artists, empty nesters or anyone wanting to get away from screaming, kids crying and yelling, parents, cursing, car horns.... Ah. Back to serenity. Isn't that better? This is the best there is. Close enough to PTown, Wellfleet and Truro. Go to Nauset lobster pool, get a few and bring it back for a nice dinner on your picnic table. Stars are out. You got back from free music on the beach. Go to your cottage in a peaceful grove Set back from route Six. Get ready for a quiet night on the Cape like it used to be.

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
