About this property

Cottage #8 - Spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay on a private association beach!

Imagine yourself vacationing with all of Cape Cod Bay visible from your beach cottage deck. Envision staying high on a 70 foot dune in a historic 125 year old cottage immortalized by American artist Edward Hopper. Step down the sandy dune to a private beach for a day of fun splashing in the waves or looking for washed in ocean treasures. Then look forward to spectacular sunset vistas and an evening of star gazing with friends and family.

Corn Hill Cottage #8 is well situated for fabulous family beach vacations. The cottage's first floor kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, gas stove, microwave, coffee pot, and just about anything an amateur chef would need to pull together a wonderful seafood feast with family and friends. Celebrate this meal in the dining room complete with seating for 8. The downstairs living room is cozy and artfully decorated with treasures found on beach combing walks. There is a small library and games to play to help you unplug. For those who can't disconnect, a Smart TV and wireless internet is available. The cottage's front porch is a perfect place to enjoy the first sips of coffee hoping to glimpse the occasional passing whale. The second floor bay bedroom has a queen sized bed and overlooks Cape Cod Bay. Let the sound of the waves carried up on ocean breezes lull you to sleep. There is an additional upstairs bedroom perfect for children and capable of sleeping 3 on two twin beds and a trundle.

The cottage is within a short drive of many restaurants, art galleries, shops, National Seashore beaches, theater, miniature golf, and other entertainment and activity options.

The cottage is what I would call the quintessential vintage Cape Cod, with modern conveniences, beautiful views, great beach and friendly neighbors. The only challenge is the stairs.

A true slice of heaven

This was our second year staying at Brice & Michelle's gorgeous little beach cottage and it has well and truly stolen all our hearts. It is such a special place; the views, the air, the community, the beach, and of course the cottage itself... complete perfection in it's quirky, rustic beauty. We will be back every summer, as long as they'll keep having us!! Thank you SO much for sharing your happy place with us :)

Magic!!!

This cottage (and its community) is nothing short of magic… we’re so fortunate to have discovered this gem. Its location on the cape is second to none in terms of views, the beach, and its proximity to the nearby towns. The cottage is the definition of rustic - so if that’s not your thing, then this place is not for you. But - if you understand and appreciate the pure beauty of such a rustic cottage experience, in such a historic and beautiful location - well then this place is a true and rare find. It feels like this little community of cottages is hidden away from the world, suspended in time from long ago. Our neighbors were amazing and wonderful connections / friendships were made. My children ran about freely, giggling, playing in the sand, making friends, playing games…. Adults sat on porches, grilled dinners, chatted on the viewing deck at sunset, shared food… stories, memories. The ocean breeze was the BEST, and the sunsets were breathtaking. We cannot wait to return next year, and truly hope to do so yearly. We’re so, so thankful to have discovered this slice of heaven on Cape Cod.

Spectacular Location

Love the quaint rustic cottage, the decks, and the panoramic view of Cape Cod Bay. The private beach is a climb but really sweet. Small but very well-equipped kitchen. Walls and doors are old and thin so not much privacy for two couples but that was offset by the location, view, ocean breeze.

Lovely

After not traveling for the past 2 years, we decided it was time for a much needed vacay. When I first saw the listing for this darling cottage, I knew that this was exactly what we needed. Cottage #8 is the perfect escape, located on a cliff, overlooking the bay. It was quiet, it was peaceful, the views were stunning, and the cottage itself was absolutely lovely! The kitchen is loaded with anything and everything that would be needed to prepare your meals. The living room was cozy for family conversations and laughs. This was our first time visiting the cape, and we loved it! We hope to go back in the near future.

Beautiful cottage and location.

This is a beautifully maintained cottage at an amazing location, with stunning views on Cape Cod Bay. The cottage is part of a complex of about 5 other cottages and there is a wonderful senses of community. At sunset all the visitors (or owners) meet at the deck for a chat before dinner. Sunset on the bay is always stunning. Too bad we were there only for one week. We love Cape Cod but never stayed in Truro before so we had a great experience at this property.

Magical Cabin and Beach

Our family enjoyed our stay. Spent most of our days on the beach. Other renters in this area very friendly and considerate with enjoyable conversations. Property owners responded very quickly to all our questions and the cabin is well equipped to entertain. Kitchen was easy to clean and well stocked. We would love to return.

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage! It was so clean, homey, and welcoming, and we loved the view from the back porch as well as the walk down the stairs to the private beach. We spent most of our time going to ocean sides beaches, but loved coming home to this peaceful place.

Lovely

We stayed in this same cottage once before under a previous owner. It was lovely then and lovely now, with some nice updates. The small, well equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. Moreover, the location is stunning, overlooking the bay and sunsets, a quick drive to good food, a steep staircase down to the beach. We didn't even bother with a Truro beach parking sticker this time. Number 8 is part of a historic set of cottages. They are close together, so you have to be comfortable with the sounds of kids playing and neighbors talking. The grills and sunset viewing platform are shared. Both times we stayed, all the neighbors were friendly, respectful, and interesting. We hope to come back!

Just as fabulous as we remembered.

This was our second visit to the cottage and it was just as lovely as our first. It was tempting to just stay and enjoy the view of the ocean from the porch and viewing deck or to go down the stairs to the beach but we did manage to take advantage of the easy access to Provincetown, Wellfleet, the ocean beaches and the bike trails. The cottage is charming and well equipped and Brice and Michelle are thoughtful hosts and quick to respond to queries. Already dreaming of our third visit!

Historical charm with modern conveniences.

A charming cottage in a beautiful setting in an amazing location. We fell in love with the cottage and are hoping to make visiting it an annual tradition. While small it never felt cramped and Michelle and Brice have managed to keep its sense of history while adding modern conveniences. I think the kitchen is better equipped than our own! The beds are comfy and there is ample seating in the living room and dining room and while the bathroom is tiny, the shower is roomy. The view from the front porch and the viewing deck is amazing - especially for sunsets. The beach is beautiful and totally worth all the steps down - all that exercise is a good excuse to take advantage of the great local food. The travel guide and cottage information were thorough and helpful and Michelle and Brice were prompt to respond to any questions. Highly recommended.

Great location and beautiful cottage

This is a beautiful cottage in an incredible location. When I was growing up, my family would spend a few weeks on the Cape every summer in Wellfleet or Truro. This is definitely one of the best locations I’ve seen. The views are amazing and the sunsets every night are an event of their own. The cottage itself is well maintained, obviously loved, and has a nice sort of Herman Melville aesthetic. We had a great time and would highly recommend.

Perfect!

This place is magical. We returned a second time and hope to return again. The cottage itself is so quaint with a real homey feel to it. It's so well stocked with kitchen cookware and appliances you really won't want for anything. The beach view and access is breathtaking. Especially now, with COVID, the private beach and mask wearing (in public areas) felt really safe but not overbearing. This place is a fantastic getaway!

Picturesque Cape Cod

This historic cottage was wonderful. Kitchen has everything you could need and more (every type of glass for your beverages, champagne to beer to cocktails). The bathroom was updated and bright. The rustic feel of the wood floors and walls was cozy and inviting. We loved the evening breeze! The private beach on the bayside was perfect, we felt like we were the only ones there. Short drive to whatever you need but quiet and serene. Felt lucky we found this and hope to get back in the future, a gem.

Perfect cottage, perfect setting

This characterful cottage is quintessentially Cape Cod--ideal for a small family, couple, or few friends. It's on a private, immaculate beach that's perfect for littler kids. The beach is just a quick walk down the dune, but note that going back up the steps would be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.

Just enjoyed a wonderful week at Corn Hill in this lovely historic cottage. If you are looking to unwind in a true Cape Cod setting, this is it. Amazing views, access to a private beach and located close to kayaking and hiking in the CCNS - you won’t run out of things to do. Cottage is wonderfully stocked and clean. We truly appreciated all the safety measures due to COVID-19 and were so happy to see EVERYONE wearing masks in town. Highly recommend.

Lovely, charming getaway

1. Out of this world view and sunsets from covered porch. 2. Adorable historic cottage with plenty of room and comfortable furnishings. Fans and space heaters if needed. 3. Kitchen with extremely nice appliances, cookware, utensils and dish ware - anything you might need for a happy chef. Very unusual for a rental cottage! 4. Comfortable beds. Small bathroom but great, roomy shower. 5. Gorgeous, quiet bayside beach (worth the long stairway down). Nice alternative to rougher surf at ocean side beaches. Perfect for smaller kids and long walks. 6. The cottages are close together so not an especially private place but everyone is respectful and quiet. 7. Receptive and helpful hosts. A really special spot.

Best views on the Cape. Full stop.

This is an amazing home that perfectly blends the quaintness of old Cape Cod with absolutely breathtaking views. My wife and I chose this property to have our elopement because of the beautiful waterfront, but it is even more incredible in person. The home itself is very comfortable and has everything you need to have a relaxing vacation on the Cape. Brice and Michelle are as good a host as I have ever had at a rental property and even better people. They made sure we had a everything we need to create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend this home and can’t wait to return again soon!
