Description

Description

This home was built by my mother 45 years ago on land inherited from my grandfather, and it is newly under my care. This is the perfect Cape Cod summer beach house; set back from our beach on a slight rise and just two minute's easy walk down the path to our PRIVATE beach and miles of wide gorgeous sand in each direction. No long staircases or crowds of people, just a short winding path and two small sets of stairs to your own peaceful, private beach paradise. The house has breathtaking 270-degree ocean views, circling from Cape Cod Bay in front, with evening sunsets and distant views of Plymouth, around to the southern Bay, and on to far woodlands in the east.

The home features four bedrooms and two full baths, each with shower-over-tub as well as a separate outdoor shower. Upper level main floor has a convenient open living-dining-kitchen, a large deck, one full bath, a large 12x18 bedroom (with King) with a sunroom off of that (the room can serve as a bonus 5th bedroom off of the upstairs bedroom, especially for babies & kids, or else a separate work space) plus a small outside balcony off the sunroom. The lower level has 3 more bedrooms (2 queens, 1 full), TV den (with sofa that can convert to a bed), a second full bath, and a laundry room. There is a hot water outdoor shower, high-speed wireless, two TVs plus DVDs and a well-supplied kitchen with every utensil & small appliance you could need. There is also a Propane gas grill on the deck right off the kitchen/living area. Thanks to sloping terrain, there is ground-level easy entry to both levels.

I provide all sheets, pillows, blankets, and towels (bath, beach, and kitchen) as well as beach chairs, beach umbrella, and several kayaks for your enjoyment. In addition -- because I well remember the difficulty of traveling with infants/toddlers -- there is also a new Pack & Play as well as a Booster Seat with Feeding Tray for your use so you don't have to pack those bulky items.

The house is sited on a small bluff just up from the Bay, affording cool sea breezes in the afternoons and cooling off virtually every evening with the on-shore breeze so no AC has ever been needed by our family for the past 45 years. There is ample level parking for 4 cars, with very easy close access to the house from your car. Located in the Ryder Beach vicinity in a pleasant sparsely-built small beachside private neighborhood. The beach is wide with clean white sand extending as far as you can see in both directions -- and is plenty wide even at the highest tides; then at the lowest tides there are sand bars to explore and dig clams, yet the water is always great for swimming at any time. Truly the perfect beach for families at all ages for swimming, floating, kayaking, and reading a great book.

The area has nearby access to hiking and biking trails and routes. There is ocean-side surf swimming for a change of pace just a short 4 mile drive away. Truro is a unique rural seaside town, only about 4 miles wide between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. There are also many fun local and seasonal shops and eateries, a golf course, a boat harbor, a winery, a lighthouse, a concert & music venue (Payomet), surf-casting from Bay and Ocean beaches for the avid fisherman, and much much more to explore. When you want a change of pace from your lazy beach living, it's just a 7-10 minute drive south to the gallery, shopping and famous oyster town of Wellfleet; or 12-15 minutes north to the bustling tourist town of Provincetown, the outer tip of the Cape, packed with local shops, food, whale-watches, fishing excursions, rousing night life, historical spots, dune tours, Cape Cod National Seashore ocean beaches and dunes, even a small airport and a fast-ferry to Boston. Truly, the Outer Cape has everything and of course you will find the best seafood in the world to eat everywhere you go.

NOTE: Well-behaved dogs are allowed with advance permission and a fee; they may not be left alone to bark at all, and if so, kennel or daycare is required. Please also note that the beach and home may ONLY be used by the rental occupants of the house; you cannot bring in a large group of outside guests to party and use our beach. This policy is strictly enforced.

    Best vacation house ever according to my family!

    A fantastic bay view and beautiful beach. A very comfortable and clean home for our family of nine. Our one year granddaughters slept in a pack and play. Our six year old granddaughter shared a room with her sister. Our children & spouses had the queen rooms downstairs. We had the king bedroom on the main level. The best part was the easy access with all the stuff you bring to the beach when you have young children. Once at the beach, what a wide, beautiful beach and view. Easy walks in both directions. We'll definitely be hoping to rent the house next year again. show more show less

    Hidden Gem

    We have been vacationing in the Truro for years. This hidden gem is nestled in a hillside dune with spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay just a 1 minute walk to the private beach. Mariah truly caters to her tenets. Her attention to detail makes staying in this home so much more enjoyable. The home has had many vital improvements from the prior owner. If you are looking for a quiet and private home to relax with beautiful nightly sunsets, this is the place. We highly recommend this home and will be coming back for years to come. show more show less

    Perfect Beach Rental

    We have rented in Truro for many years, and this was by far our best experience. For us, there is no greater luxury than the glorious view of the bay from the deck both at breakfast and watching breathtaking sunsets while enjoying oysters in the evening! Add to that being just steps away from your own private beach. Although not fancy, the house is perfectly situated and sleeps 8 comfortably. We had many house guests during our stay and never felt crowded. A truly special experience!

    Fantastic Friends and Family Vacation

    We could not have wished for a more perfect vacation location. Every summer my family and I vacation with my college roommate and her family. Our families had outgrown the cottage that we stayed at for more than a decade so when we found Meredith's cottage, we were overjoyed. The layout of the cottage provides plenty of elbow room for grown children as well as ample space for the entire group to gather in the living room and on the expansive deck. The view from the cottage is breathtaking! We could watch the sun set while sipping wine on the deck. One afternoon we even saw a pod of dolphins from the deck! We are very excited to be going back in 2018! show more show less

    Wonderful house

    We spent two perfect weeks at Meredith's house last August and will be going back again this August. The views from the deck are gorgeous, and it's an easy, quick walk to a beautiful beach that is so quiet it feels like a private beach. The house is well-equipped and comfortable, with lots of bedrooms and plenty of space for people to spread out and relax. Love the location-- we biked into Wellfleet for lunch on lovely, quiet back roads, played golf at two local courses, explored several bike paths, visited the ocean beaches, and make easy trips into Provincetown. A perfect vacation house for adults and kids. show more show less

    Perfect Beach Vacation

    We had a perfect beach vacation at a location that can't be beat! The house is on a hill with beautiful ocean views from the large deck where we spent all of our time when we weren't at the beach. The private beach is a short walk from the house and easily accessible. The beach is truly private. We occasionally encountered other renters or owners of houses in the small neighborhood, but there were plenty of situations where we were the only ones on the beach. There is a wonderful sandbar during low tide that became a daily highlight for kids and adults alike. The owner of the house is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We plan to come back every year if possible! show more show less

    Beautiful views

    We have been vacationing here for the past few years with our family and grandchildren, and there's plenty of room for us all! The best views all around, we have breakfast, lunch and dinner on the deck with spectacular sunsets! A short walk to the private beach where we can take long walks and see hardly anyone. The tide goes way out, and the children love looking for sea life under the rocks and in shallow pools. Great place to fly kites too! Plenty of towels and linens provided by owner. We can't wait for summer!! show more show less

    9 Wonderful Years in Truro

    We spent many wonderful summer weeks at Meredith's house in Truro. You can watch the sunset from the deck, walk less than 100 feet to the water and play tennis right there on a court between the sand dunes. The house is ideally located with not only because it sits on the bay, but It is easy to get to Wellfleet and Provincetown. We decided to no longer go to the Cape, and while looking forward to what is next, will greatly miss spending another summer week at Meredith's.

    Lovely stay!

    My husband and I got married on the beach and had a lovely intimate gathering here last summer. We stayed two weeks with our children, and had a really great time. The house is warm and full of the homeowner's family nostalgia, which I loved! Close to the private beach, a great place to spend with your family. We live in Washington state, and loved every minute of our Cape Cod vacation.

    My grandfather began the journey of taking his children to Cape Cod back in the 1940's when it was just a bunch of ''worthless dunes'' that he loved very much. My mother continued the tradition with this home in Truro that she built when I was a child and where I spent every summer of my life growing up, and I have done the same with my children -- always making the pilgrimage to the Cape each and every summer. It is only recently that I have finally been able to own my very own home in Wellfleet, and now I am also the steward of this magical place in Truro -- my original family home. I am delighted to share it with you on the weeks that my family and I are not here. I know that you will adore it and cherish it as much as we do!

    The incredible peacefulness of this very private grouping of just 7 homes (all owned by members of my family or decades-old friends) spread out over many acres with a central tennis court and private beach is truly one of the most wonderful places in the world. The beach will ruin you for any other beach in the world again once you experience the wide expanses of clean, private sand and the cool, swimming-friendly waters.

    What is special about your town?
    Truro is a small coastal town boasting not much more than a General Store, a Post Office, and a fabulous restaurant called The Blackfish. But it is perfectly located between Wellfleet (7-10 minute drive) and Provincetown (12-15 minute drive) if you ever want to leave the private compound (Warning: You may never want to leave!)
    Downtown Wellfleet features cool little shops, tons of galleries, and over a dozen great restaurants are all an easy drive from this home... in fact, when we were kids, we would walk to Wellfleet on the backroads just for fun. Wellfleet also has several ''ponds'' (aka large, swimmable, freshwater bodies of water) such as Long Pond that you may want to try for the variety and change of pace. And of course, P-town hardly needs a description because if you have ever been to the Outer Cape surely you have already spent many wonderful afternoons walking down Commercial Street eating Penny Candy and fried bread from the Portugese Bakery!
