Note:You will want to read the

COMPLETE DESCRIPTION with MANY PICTURES which FOLLOWS!!

Our vacation place at Oceanside Condominiums of Provincetown is a wonderful spot to spend your vacation!! Oceanside has its own sandy beach on the tip of Cape Cod Bay and is a 5 minute drive from the center of town. It is a year ’round residence and is available for your stay at any time of the year.

It is equipped with 2 bedrooms each with a newer queen-sized bed, a furnished living room with a sleeper sofa and loveseat, and so it could sleep 4 adults and 1 child. Maximum Occupancy is 5 people. It is a ground floor unit with an outside deck. There is no handicap access to the ground level condo but there is a long wood walkway from the beginning of the beach to the water! There is a color television in each room with cable service, basic wi-fi internet service and a telephone with free unlimited local service. There are coin operated laundry facilities in the adjacent unit and a huge parking lot. Many of our guests return to stay at our place on a yearly basis.

Provincetown, also known as P-town, has an extremely casual atmosphere and offers superb restaurants, boat rides, sailing, whale watching, deep sea fishing, biking trails, golfing in nearby towns, 4 beautiful public beaches (2 in Ptown and 2 in neighboring North Truro), PLUS what many people feel is the best shopping on the Cape. Historically significant as colonial history gets, it was the very first landing place of the Pilgrims before they settled in Plymouth.

Please take the time to review the list of items and services provided. The low rental rates reflect the fact that you must clean up when you leave. So please keep in mind that what we are offering is a fully equipped condominium but not any housekeeping services or maid services as you would have in a hotel. This offers you the ability to save money on a great vacation place in exchange for the small task of cleaning up when you are ready to depart. Please review the rental agreement at the very end of this brochure before bidding or deciding to make a reservation.

We hope to have you as our Guests!!

HERE’S THE COMPLETE VACATION TOUR

WITH LOTS OF PICTURES!!

OUR EXACT LOCATION

We are located at the Beach Point section of town, on Route 6A, near the North Truro/Provincetown line. We are exactly 2 miles from the center of Provincetown . This is a great location away from the bustling center of town. A shuttle bus stops next door at the Sandcastle Resort (during high season only) every hour and takes passengers into town and returns them. This is a big plus for people who don’t like to deal with parking downtown.

It is 200 feet (a 45 second walk) from our door to the beginning of our own sandy beach. Our unit is the third of eight buildings that run in a line from our parking lot to beach. At the end of the line, a total of about 200 feet away from our condo, is the beach. We have a wooden boardwalk-like deck that begins after our last building and meanders to the water. This makes it quite a bit  easier than walking through the beach sand for those who are challenged by walking.  

.

The beach is protected by a sandbar which makes it very enjoyable at low tide for beachcombers of all ages(see above). Children just seem to love walking out on the sandbar and wading in the warm shallow water , or just playing or digging in the sand. If you prefer the unbridled ocean to the bay, there are four other distinctive beaches within a 10 minute ride. There are also many others along the lower cape in Wellfleet and Eastham. .

THINGS TO DO

Provincetown boasts the best whale watching tours in the country

featuring some PRETTY BIG WHALES

(YOU SHOULD REALLY CLICK THIS ONE)

Take the late afternoon whale watching tours.. so that upon your return to Provincetown you can see sunsets like this…….

On the whale watch tour you will see historic lighthouses ,

and in the evening you can catch a silhouetted view of the

Provincetown Monument which you may decide to climb to the top of. .There are also fishing excursions, a huge flea market in Wellfleet with antiques ,unique crafts and new merchandise (look for the (booth that sells hand-puppets..my son has bought 3!!) as well as excellent shopping in town.

…and more shopping

.

There are many great restaurants. By the way, most restaurant prices are reasonable.

Instead of going out to eat, you may decide to buy a couple of 3lb. lobsters …….

and cook and eat them yourself.

>

…make sure they don’t eat you first.

You will find some places in town to get live lobsters ……….and of course we do provide a lobster pot!!

You might choose to rent a bicycle and bike into town to do some people watching…

or pedal to one of the other beaches.

One of our favorites is Head Of The Meadow Beach (above and “click”) in North Truro.

You could rent a sailfish, take a horse and buggy ride…

or take a tour of the town on the Provincetown Trolley

There are also tours that will take you to the sand dunes of Provincetown which is now the only way to really see them up close.

NOTE: The cost of some activities described, such as bike or boat rentals and tours are not included in your rental. …Also some activities may not be available in off season months

Actually you CAN see dunes from the deck outside our condo which, is a good place to have a cool drink at 4:00 p.m. after returning from the beach.

Here are some pictures of dunes you can see from right outside of our condo!

ACCOMMODATIONS & PARKING

The inside of our condo is a fully furnished 2 bedroom year round home. The bedrooms have queen sized beds . Blankets, bedspreads and pillows are provided however you must bring your own sheets and pillowcases and bath towels. In the bathroom there is a new tub shower enclosure and toilet and a fully furnished kitchen with full size refrigerator, stove, oven and dishwasher. In the living room , there is a sofa which converts to a sleeper (recommended for kids and not adults), a loveseat, and a kitchen table and chairs. There is color tv with basic cable service and a telephone with local service. Wi-Fi is available at no extra charge. You should bring both a long distance calling card and cellular phone (some work and some don’t) for making and receiving long distance calls. Our parking lot is ample and parking permits will be provided. Parking at our condo never seems to be a problem .

RATES AND WEEKS AVAILABLE:

If this is an eBay auction that is currently underway..you may of course assume that the described week/period is available immediately as a BUY IT NOW item or upon the close of the auction to the highest bidder. If you are interested in a different week/period; Please contact us through eBay’s system for rate info. As you would expect, rates differ greatly by time of year. You may at any time contact us to see if any week/period is available. If you are interested we will post the week on eBay so that you may rent it. Please pay attention to whether the week you are interested in has a clean up feature or not

TIMES TO GO:

JANUARY-MARCH: Ususally deserted. The better restaurants are open but most of the shops are closed. Perfect for the recluse.

APRIL-MAY: Comfortably active. Many shop owners and businesses are preparing themselves for high season. A lot more shops and restauraunts are open

MEMORIAL DAY-LABOR DAY: High Season. All activities in full swing. I recommend June. It is much less crowded and because the first day of Summer(the longest day of the year) is in June, you have more hours of sunlight that warm the ocean water . Often times water in the bay has been warmer in June than in July or August!! Rates are cheaper also

LABOR DAY-OCTOBER & NOVEMBER DECEMBER & NEW YEARS EVE:

One of the best kept secrets are the Indian Summer months of September and October and the very quiet months of November & December. Most of the shops do stay open through Columbus Day and a good handful through Christmas. The better more established restaurants are also open, and of course the crowds are gone.. This is a good time to get a bargain. During high season we rent our condo for $1395/week but we often have a few un-rented weeks during this period that we will post at ebay or rent outright.

                              RE: STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS SHORT TERM RENTAL TAX

       In the final few days of 2018 The State of Mass and Governor Baker Jointly approved a rental tax for short term rentals.

       For Provincetown, the TAX IS A 3 PART tax including a 5.7% State Tax, a 6.00% Local Tax and a Water Conservation Tax of 2.75% for a whopping total of 14.45%. Note different towns have different local taxes and other taxes.

       This tax is collectable by the property owner and applied to the base rent. It is not applied to your security deposit which is the only other thing you will pay besides the rent.  It goes into effect immediately for any properties being rented for periods beginning on or after 7/1/2019.  I HAVE INCLUDED THE 3 TAXES IN YOUR RENT QUOTE and so you are getting a total quote.  As you shop you may find other rentals where the tax has not been included so don’t be fooled…ask.  Be assured that EVERYONE must collect and deal with this tax.

Please fill out this section below and sign and return the entire copy of this agreement. I would like to rent the condominium for the period: beginning _________________2020 and ending _________________,2020. The total rent for the above period is $_____________. No more than(number) _____ people including children will be occupying. Enclosed is a (check one) ____ deposit / or ____ payment in full, in the amount of $______________.
