The room was small but had everything needed.The cleanliness could have been a lot better .
Great location , rates were comparable. There was sand on our sheets when we pulled back the covers . Washroom and floors could have been cleaner. Overall we had fun .

Beautiful Little Place
Overall bright beautiful place to stay in Truro. The place was slightly small and did not have all the amenities (ie bowls); just sparse overall.

Great location Poor amenities
Loved the location but the unit itself was not hospitable. Advertised for 4, 3 of us were tripping all over each other. No microwave, no freezer space, teeny tiny fridge. Chose a place with kitchette so we could prepare meals. Nearly impossible. No where to store clothes or suitcases. Had to remove them from the couch and bed every night to sleep. Locked cupboard took up a lot of valuable space - should only be advertised for 2 people - the online pictures were deceiving. This place was at the top of our budget but amenities were very sparse.

Nice condo, great location
We really liked this condo. It was reasonably priced, and is sort of like a nice hotel room. It’s not big, but we were visiting friends at the Days Cottages down the street, so the location was perfect for us. And the beach near this condo is very close (5 minute walk) and nice, too. We locked ourselves out the first day (the lock/unlock sticks) and Vacasa was tough to reach on the phone. However, we then saw a sign outside with the contact info for the on-site manager. At that point, it was resolved quickly (within 10 minutes). The outside chairs are in the shade most of the day (after early morning), so it’s a nice place to sit. You get a nice breeze off the water (which is even visible).

Private beach!
The apartment itself was very small! But having a small private beach right across the street made it all worth it! Perfect place to stay if you plan to be out and about most of your visit. Very close to PTown and other fun spots

Our Stay
This property was across the street from the beach, which we loved. It was also close to Provincetown, which had a lot of nice restaurants. The condo itself was very small. With two suitcases, it was difficult to move around and there was nowhere to put them and also nowhere to hang clothes. The bathroom was also very tiny and the inside shower curtain had some mold on it and the bathroom itself smelled like mildew. Otherwise, it worked for a few days, especially because we were at the beach or out most of the day.

small but clean
Good things: place was very clean when we arrived (except shower curtain--see below). There's a small table and 2 chairs not pictured in listing--good for eating breaky and lunch. Plenty of extra blankets/towels in armoir. WiFi reliable and strong. Conveniently located near beach (across 6A). Right on busline to Ptown. Not so good things: really no space to stow your stuff; no hooks or hangers anywhere in main room; no bureau to unpack into or shelves on which to place luggage. Zero counter space. Photos show microwave mounted under cabinet. Nope, it is set on the counter, leaving almost no space to prep food. Refrigerator is tiny. Inner shower curtain was moldy and nasty. No sidewalks or shoulders on road. Overall it was fine for a short stay for 2 people. I can't even imagine having 4 people crammed in such a small space.

Great location!
Great location across the street from beach. Beach was nice, shallow water for swimming. Catch the bus to PTown or short drive right outside. Studio was cute and equipped w what you need. Sunny and well kept. Needs some updating/fixes.

Simple efficiency on outer cape
Easy access to national Seashore Beaches and trails and Provincetown. Gas grill worked as did microwave for simple dinners. We had lunches out while exploring. No frills, clean and easy access to sites.

A must pass!
The pictures on line do this property no justice. It looks clean but is not. The floor has large chunks of broken loose tiles. It is located in a nice area but with so many options this is the last place I would stay. We walked in and walked right out and went down the road and paid for a cottage that we have stayed in before and salvaged our getaway. I contacted Vrbo.com as well as Vacasa looking for a refund and haven’t heard back from anyone and I doubt we will. This was my first time using these booking agencies and also my last! Lesson learned, we won’t be fooled again.

A nice find
The location of the property was great given the close proximity to a private beach which was not crowded. The apartment could use a rehab, & the bed was listed as a Queen size but it was only a full size bed. Also, the pictures showed towel racks in both the bathroom (over the toilet) & just outside of the bathroom by the sink. There were in fact no towel racks at all, just 1 hook behind the bathroom door which was not enough. Also, the owner left a very large bike chained up in the apartment & given the fact that the apartment is so tiny, this was not ideal.
