We are a lesbian couple with an adopted daughter from Guatemala. One of us (Lis) is originally from the Netherlands and the other (Carmen) is originally Cuban/Mexican; we have been living in the U.S. for many years now and we are U.S. citizens. We are both professors at universities in Boston, as well as clinicians. We bought the unit before we adopted our daughter as a getaway near Boston for ourselves and our dogs (unfortunately, condo rules prohibit pets other than those belonging to the owners), and continue to spend Thanksgiving there every year with a bunch of friends who travel in from other states for the occasion. With a young child we have connected with a number of Provincetown families and discovered more activities, including bicycling around, sailing at the West End Race Club, horse riding in nearby Truro, and the weekly music evenings in summer at the new beach station at Herring Cove with bonfires. Hanging out with friends in the afternoon at the Harbor Lounge or Provincetown Inn swimming pools (shuttle available) is another thing we've come to enjoy.

Living in Boston, we fell in love with this place when we were looking for a cozy, gay-friendly place where we could take our dogs for summers, long weekend getaways in the fall, and snowy winter breaks. The views out the windows and from the deck are simply spectacular! We love the convenience of being steps away from everything. The town beach is in front of you, and you can take long walks morning and evening. Walk out the door and you are on Commercial Street and in the midst of everything, with the library across the road. Take a right out the door and in minutes you are in the midst of the galleries in the East End, and nothing beats the fun of strolling down Commercial on a Friday evening and dropping in for gallery openings with wine and cheese and a chance to chat with the artists! Or take a left and you can people watch in front of the Town Hall, shop downtown,go dancing at one of the clubs, or grab a bite at one of the wonderful cafes and restaurants. You can walk to the West End, take a bike or bus to the dunes or the Provincetown Inn pool, or check out the other nearby beaches. Never a lack of things to do!

Waking up in the morning and glimpsing the sunny water from bed is a wonderful experience, and dinner looking out over the harbor lights is very romantic. Have drinks on the deck, and people watch from your private nook above the courtyard. The apartment combines both privacy and convenience. Just about everything is no more than a short walk away. The unit is a single flight of steps up from street level and in the back of the building facing the water, so noise is minimal and there is a real sense of privacy in being 'above it all'. There is wonderful old clawfoot tub to soak in, and an electric fireplace and cable TV.
