Summary:
11105 - Baywatch: Beachfront on Commercial St w/ Water Views!
The Space:
For the ultimate beach house vacation, just add this pet-friendly waterfront property located on Commercial Street. This home offers it all: direct access to a beautiful bay beach and a prime location along Provincetown’s famous, waterfront Commercial Street, the epicenter of town activity, where you’ll find many must-visit restaurants and eclectic shops, as well as historic buildings. Built in the 1960s, this seaside getaway exudes a nostalgic charm that will inspire you to spend long hours lounging on the large beachfront deck—at high tide the sea washes up to the deck and at low tide the shoreline changes again, revealing an expansive stretch of sandy beach. Simple summer pleasures like collecting seashells and hunting for souvenirs, eating ice cream and saltwater taffy beachside, sunbathing and watching the sun set every night make for a beach vacation you won’t soon forget. This spacious four-bedroom beachfront abode sleeps nine people. The first floor features a kitchen, dining and living area, two full bathrooms and three bedrooms, while the second floor has another bedroom, plus a loft bedroom. Climb the spiral staircase, and you’ll find an open loft area that leads to a large, private bedroom outfitted with a king bed and 2 twin beds.
Notably, this classic, old-fashioned beach house is one of very few available properties for rent in Provincetown that has a beachfront location on Commercial Street, sleeps nine people, is dog friendly and has a parking space. It’s a one-of-a-kind property!

The Neighborhood:
Bayside
My family has been coming to east end in Provincetown for 40 years, and this house is the perfect spot from which to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful bay, AND explore town.
Perfect private beach and walkable into town!
We walked in and immediately walked out. This property has a flimsy spiral staircase that is the only access to the upper loft with no bathroom. In emergency it will very difficult to navigate downstairs. The furnishings are not inviting and undesirable. The photos that represent this property are from from accurate.
Our stay was great. The view is stunning, and the home is good size for a big group.
It was all about the location, doesn't get any better. You could definitely put a few thousand into it to the house to make it more appealing, starting with curtains. Really see through curtains, no beach towels, and the customer service was poor. The the neighbors to the right kept talking right outside the bedroom with the see through curtains and kept activating the light sensors, and on one occasion walked through the front yard while I was in bed. Coming from California I called to inquire about whether the house had beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes etc. and was told she didn't know if these items were available but that we could rent or buy these items. Really!
What a pleasure dealing with such a professional company. I received calls, and emails and updates in preparation for our stay! Then they called to check on how everything was twice! Wow! Then follow up was impressive. Everything was so wonderful. ….the view was stunning, …big open living space, steps to the ocean, kayaks and floats, walk to town, comfortable home, cozy beach vibe, it was exactly as pictured! We were bummed to leave! Hoping for two weeks next year! ❤️❗️
The good: This house is nicely located in a quiet spot in the East End. The beach front, as well as the views, are beautiful. An easy 20 min walk to town. The not so good: The interior of the house is fine, but in dire need of updates. Beds were uncomfortable and creaked incessantly. The bathrooms need a desperate refresh. The air conditioners are mostly ineffectual. LR windows with the promise of cool sea air had no screens. No washer or dryer and only one bath towel allotted per person. The kitchen is inadequate, lacking a dishwasher, or a working stove (more later). Updates merely attempt to make the property serviceable. Oh, and mixed in with a box of child friendly DVD’s was a porn title discovered by my 14yo. The exterior and the smaller unit next door, are the ugly ducks of the East End. The street entrance is shared by both structures. Rusting bikes, garbage barrels, and refuse litter the way to the front door. It is a shame that the lovely view from the front porch is cluttered with broken plastic chairs, bent umbrellas, and items that likely lost functionality years ago. Updated pictures on VRBO would show this dilapidated home as an eyesore in a sea of well-tended homes. The unacceptable. On day 1, we found our stove didn’t work. Del Mar Properties sent a service tech who confirmed the stove needed to be replaced. DM was unsure on availability of a new stove, but offered a hot plate. Also, a senior DM rep would call me promptly. Two days later, no call and no hot plate. I called DM again, was assured management would call back and later a boxed hot plate appeared on the front porch…..like an Amazon delivery. Silence from DM until Friday morning, our last day, when maintenance informing me that they were coming to install a stove. I suggested they install it after check out, the next day. Later I was informed we had no choice. I disagreed and after a week of waiting, I finally received a call from an authority at DM. The woman insisted the installation be done that day and offered to buy lunch for our inconvenience. Too little, too late. I said “no” as it was pouring outside. She informed me that the contract gave them the right to do whatever maintenance they saw fit. Our last day and service folks pounding in the kitchen. Friendly, but left a mess. In the end, we negotiated a one day refund, which required another phone call on my part after the promised two week time frame had come and gone. Completely unacceptable!
This is a really great house! Myself and 5 friends stayed at this home during the fourth of July week in 2021. Unlike many other rentals in Ptown, this one is directly on the beach! Open your door and you are on the sand. Even during rainy days it was fun having a view of the ocean. Other nice things: - The hosts were very proactive and communicative up to and during the stay - We requested new towels and toilet paper in the middle of our stay and had those things the next day - Our hosts supplied us with a nice gift basket of wine and snacks. - A really nice porch to sit and chill or read on the beach - Gas grill was great for cooking dinner Other considerations: You are pretty far down commercial street. I had not stayed in this part of Ptown before; it's about 30 minute walk to the pier downtown. As a result, you def should get bikes for your stay; ours were rented from Provicetown Bikes which is the closest rental place to the house. The house is older, which has lots charm and coziness, but you aren't going to have the same amenities of a newer home (dishwasher, larger bathrooms, etc). There are also only 2 bathrooms; we made it work but had to have shifts for showers in the AM. The upstairs loft has a bunch of beds that worked fine for us, but don't give you as much privacy as the other bedrooms. Lastly, we cooked one night and for breakfast many of the days, and the kitchen has two fridges and lots of plates and drinkware, but it was weirdly missing that plastic thing you put under a dish rack, and there was no tea ball. I purchased both and left in the home, so now that's fixed! I would suggest two kitchen additions: a new tea kettle (the old one was rusty), and a new chef's knife (a good one goes for $90 on Amazon). Overall a great trip and I would certainly recommend this home for people looking for a place to stay on the beaches of Ptown.
Perfect location! Perfect size. Loved the view and the deck. Highly recommend.
The location of the property is absolutely perfect. The deck is amazing! The house itself needs a bit of work/maintenance.
