About this property

Prime Historic Property in the Heart of Provincetown

The Adam Macool House is a five bedroom 1800's Cape house, located in the heart of Provincetown, recently restored with historic details, yet providing modern comforts and amenities. The property is a quiet garden oasis, but only one block from the hubbub and excitement of Commercial Street. The first floor covered porch and the second floor deck run the entire length of the house. Each has a lounge area and a separate dining area. These outdoor living spaces are perfect for resting, eating, drinking a cup of coffee, hosting a cocktail hour, and enjoying people-watching. The third floor is the master bedroom suite with an open floor plan, has an air jet tub, and views to the north, south, east, and west. Views from the house and the decks include not only the garden and the cottage on the property, but also The Monument and the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House spire.

Amazing Historic Property in Ideal location

To say that we enjoyed our stay would be an understatement. It was truly located wonderfully in the middle of town, access to everything, but tucked on a side street. The house is historic in nature, but with all the modern amenities one needs. We just loved the decor and the layout was ideal for a large group (we rented out the whole house). Bernard was extremely friendly and so helpful! House was clean and even ready early. 5 stars across the board and hoping to return again!

Splendid charm in the heart of Ptown!

Location, Location, Location! Bernard's home in the heart of Ptown was superb. It made our stay so easy. We were a group of 6 and it was perfect. Even if we'd had a few more, there is plenty of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy each other's company but not be on top of each other. The house is charming with 5 comfy beds and so quiet despite the central location. Bernard was a great host. He was immediately responsive to any question we had. We'd highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Summer Getaway

The McCool house was the perfect place for 9 friends to spend a week in P Town. The house has so many highlights including being right in the center of town. Just a short walk in any direction for food, drinks or shopping. The outdoor dining allowed us to congregate in the mornings for coffee and for meals when we didn’t eat out. We even had room to store all our bikes in the yard which we used regularly. We had an excellent week!

Beautiful property, great location

This property is so much nicer than a rental needs to be. A wonderful old home, full of charm, but all the modern amenities have been provided. The way a bathroom with shower and separate tub were fitted under the roof of the third story bedroom is clever, and I loved it, but a taller person (6 ft +) might be a little uncomfortable and the stairs are not for anyone with physical limitations. All the other areas had no issues. Two living areas, a covered porch with a large deck on top with ample furniture for seating were enjoyed. The location could hardly be closer to the bustle of Commercial Street, perfect for us, but at times, some noise. So if you are going to let that bother you, it should be considered. And the host, Bernard, couldn’t be nicer. If he’s in town, he’s probably staying in a separate property on site so he’s there for any issues if needed. But he’s not intrusive at all, really a plus to chat with him about the property and the town. He’s also very responsive via text or messaging thru the app.

Beautiful and Accommodating

The house is beautiful and very charming. It’s very well kept and a lot of historical pieces are within the decor. The lighting is a bit lacking on the 3rd floor and in the kitchen but nothing you can’t work with. Bring an iron - one is not provided. I will definitely stay there again.

We keep coming back!

This is our second year in this house so now we can really call it “ours.” We feel so lucky to have found a place that has enough space for us and is also in the perfect location off of Commercial. The host is responsive and the home is efficiently organized. Couldn’t ask for a better place!

Amazing July 4th Week

I went to Ptown for the July 4th week celebrations with my friends (there was 10 of us in total, all young professionals). We had an amazing time and couldn't have asked for a better location and house. It was very central to everything (we didn't really even need our bikes). Despite our big group, each of us was able to have our own space for some downtime. Bernard is a thoughtful host who was very helpful from checkin to checkout. Highly recommended!

Perfect Host, House & Location

The host, Bernard was helpful from months before our visit, with assistance dodging the hurricane and arrival all the way up to our departure. The house is perfect! You can tell Bernard takes great pride in the property and is continually working to make it an even better experience. Location, location, location! Everything from the pier, tours, shops, great dining, entertainment and even nightlife is practically at your doorstep. Yet, the house is tucked away enough to be enjoyable away from it all. I for one can't wait to be able to reserve the property again.

Fabulous house, fabulous location

Historic house - restored expertly and passionately by the owner Bernard - who has an eye for detail. Historic feel with modern amenities (kitchen, bathrooms, beds, etc.). It has everything you need. Just bring your luggage. Very well done! We really enjoyed the historic house with so many indoor and outdoor sitting areas. The location is perfect - we did not need our car at all - except for a day trip to Nantucket via the FreedomFerry. We hiked every day to the various beaches and light houses on the numerous nearby trails. 100 yards to the center of town with all the action. Walked everywhere, including the grocery store and restaurants. Such a relaxing place to stay on beautiful Cape Cod. We highly recommend it. Guests: Tom and Barbara

Amazing stay!

Our group had another great trip to Provincetown and the Adam Macool House is now our favorite place to stay. It’s central location right off Commercial would be enough, but the house itself is beautiful, incredibly well-maintained, and has charm. Bernard, our host, has clearly invested in making the place welcoming and special. He was attentive and seemed to genuinely care about our stay and wanted us to enjoy ourselves and the home. It was more than worth every single penny.

Wonderful house, perfect location

It’s true what they say, location is everything and his house sits squarely in the middle of what Ptown has to offer. That aside, Bernard has done a wonderful job of renovating this historic home, paying homage to its Cape history and style, while never stinting on the modern touches we all need and love. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to families and groups of friends.

Perfect location, beautiful home

The Adam Macool house is in about as good a location as you can find in P-Town, within a two minute walk to Commercial, but set far enough back to be quiet. The meticulously restored historic home is both charming and really functional

Absolutely Beautiful House!

Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We had such a great time in Provincetown that my teen daughters didn't even complain about having to be on vacation with their parents! Your house is in a perfect location and is so charming. Sitting on the lovely front porch, watching the world go by was such a nice way to end an evening. The house is seriously immaculate, and we found everything we could have needed. Thanks again and we hope to return next summer!

Great location and comfortable

We stayed with friends for Labor Day weekend and had a blast. The location is the best in town and we loved the charming well kept home. Would 100% stay again.

After many visits to Provincetown, I decided it was time to really enjoy all this town has to offer. Despite being based in moderately distant NYC, I bought this fixer-upper, went through a major renovation project, and now am able to enjoy a great home and garden, and share it with those who also appreciate a fabulous escape from any daily routine!

Why they chose this property

This property is centrally located in the heart of Provincetown, has a fabulous garden, and provides easy access to multiple entertainment options in town!

What makes this property unique

There is no place like Provincetown.
