Jamesâs Provincetown home is a warm, welcoming and wonderful place to spend some time. It is very well located in the East End near the Gallery District and a short walk to the center of town. Youâll feel at home and the condo was very clean. James can be very proud of his home and I can heartily recommend it. His communications were very helpful and he returned messages very quickly. If you are looking for a great place for a Provincetown vacation, you have found it.
The property was in a great location and it was nice to be able to sit in Adirondack chairs in the shade in the front yard. The layout worked perfectly and James and Fernando were excellent to work with. Had an amazing stay there!
James and Fernando have a beautiful property! The pictures on the listing do not do it justice. Booking with them was very easy and they were communicative throughout, leading up. I have a large F150, so parking was a tad tight but I manuvered in there haha! The house was sparkling clean and smelled wonderful. They thought of everything. I dont know if there is always a hair straightener or they knew I had my wife with me, but that was a nice touch. There was plenty of room for the 2 of us. I enjoyed seperate bedroom from living room, as I am an early riser and she likes to sleep in. Kudos on the coffee grinder..we love fresh ground Dunkin. Sitting on the front lawn, drinking coffee and watching Ptown wake up was everyday for us. We walked to the water a few mornings and what a view! Downtown is a very quick, peaceful 5 minute ride and we went into town everyday. We met a few of the neighbors and they were all very pleasant and nice. We cooked breakfast every morning and a few dinners. I appreciated the stocked kitchen with pots, pans, and cooking utensils. Our stay was perfect! We have had a bad experience with renting in Ptown and this place was a refreshing change. It was relaxing and very comfortable. James and Fernando were excellent hosts and we look forward to booking again!
My stay at the Figure Head House was perfect. It's one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. The hosts are delightful, accommodating & friendly. They went out of their way to be helpful, like when I forgot a couple of things & they made sure I got them back. I came for a funeral in early January from Florida. I asked them about the heating in their place & the owners made sure I was kept warm by the radiators.The condo is well equipped & charming. They pretty much have anything you need, from lovely kitchen ware to fluffy towels. It's a pretty condo, close to everything in Provincetown. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. A big thank-you to my hosts!
All communication was clear and easy. The place was clean and well appointed. I donât really have any recommendations for changes, because everything went so smoothly. Thanks for a great stay!
My husband and I decided to go to Provincetown for the week after our wedding in early October to decompress and enjoy some down time on the Cape. The apartment was in a perfect location on the south end of Commercial Street. Very quiet, but it was a quick walk to the downtown area, and there were a couple small markets within a 5 minute walk. The check-in process was easy and the hosts, James and Fernando, were very proactive in communicating instructions with us before we arrived. We were even able to get into the apartment early. The space is small, but it was perfect for two people, and it was clean, well decorated and had everything in the kitchen you'd need if you were going to prepare a meal. Having the dedicated parking spot was very helpful and there is a front yard with chairs if you want to sit outside. We would definitely stay there again the next time we are in town.
My partner and I had a wonderful stay in Ptown in October for Women's Week.
The condo was well-appointed and had everything we needed (except a kettle, but we travel with our own for this very reason).
It was a nice distance from the activity on Commercial street to be very quiet, but still perfectly walkable.
We did call a pedi-cab one day which was also nice.
No complaints. 5 stars.
The apartment is super well located, very clean, and well outfitted. The hosts were extremely responsive. The only complaint is that the front door is jammed in the frame and cannot be opened.
We have stayed at James' and Fernando's unit at the Figurehead House several times & are always so happy with the visit. The place is always very clean and stocked with all the linens & towels you could want. The queen bed is very comfortable and there is plenty room in the closet & dresser for storing all of your stuff.
The bathroom is small, but has plenty of storage space, a great shower, and a good sized sink.
There 2 TVs, and a nice living room with a table & chairs, and just a nice place to hang out.
We were just up there in early May and it was still pretty cold out, but it was great to wake in the morning to the great warmth coming from the radiators.
All in all, it is one of our favorite places to stay. James is easy to contact, the off street parking is easy to access, the location is close enough for an easy walk to the center of town, and there is a water view from the front of the unit. What more could you ask for? And did we mention the reasonable rates?
We really enjoyed the location. Far enough away from the busier area of Commercial street that it was quiet and yet close enough to walk to restaurants, galleries and shops.
Our needs might be similar to yours: good location walkable to everything fun, off-street parking, a comfortable, clean and QUIET place to stay.
This property checks all the boxes and then some. From the very beginning, the owners were accommodating and informative. That's a big plus. The apartment itself is located in the quiet East End with excellent parking. It's decorated beautifully and peacefully. While the bedroom is small - as historic homes in this area often are - and the kitchen is no place to whip up of four-course dinner, the bedroom is clean and quiet. The kitchen is really efficient with a sizable refrigerator and even a dishwasher. We ended up cooking a meal of local scallops, rice and broccoli with no problem.
The bathroom is perfect and the shower is surprisingly spacious with plenty of hot water. Our hosts were even kind enough to leave a First Aid kit, hairdryer, straightener, and plenty of soap.
The main room is a gem! With views of the bay and a nice front yard, it gets plenty of light in the morning. The futon can easily double as a comfortable bed. The best part is an adorable and easy-to-use electric (or maybe gas) fireplace. It's cozy and light at the same time.
The hosts provided plenty of sheets, towels and amenities. The WiFi is fast and the TV has lots of apps.
A great choice for a couple like us - and maybe you!
We were delighted by our stay. The place was clean and well-maintained, and seemed much larger than we expected which was a nice surprise. It was well-equipped and very comfortable even as the weather changed from hot to cold. Highly recommended.
The building itself is beautiful and is in the middle of the Gallery west end. Includes several sweet surprises like coffee from A local roaster. The decor is charming with many cute touches.
Our stay at Figurehead House was perfect!! The hosts and cleanliness, charm, location, all. My friend and I met several lovely locals. The location was perfect, we walked up and down Commercial St everyday. Couple tips: When parking in spot 1, pull up as far as possible to the left of of #2 spot which is yellow shed. It's a beach town, there is no washer & dryer in unit, we hung towels up in closet but did drape a pair of running shorts on back patio chair. Don't do that. Highly recommend sitting out front in evening and đ, the people walking up and down Commercial St. were a delight. We took a Beach Day to Herring Cove Beach via the Shuttle which you can can pick up at McMillan Pier for 2 bucks. They make a loop around the Peninsula with regular interval pick ups.
We loved our 8 day stay
PROS
Walkable to what you need including market
Block from beach access
VERY clean
Cute and comfortable, had everything we needed
Great communication with host
Great air conditioning
CONS
Sleeps up to 3 but very cozy ( this was ok for our family)
If you like to spread out and/or have lots of bags, this may not be for you
We would stay here again.
Traveling back to Provincetown after many years, having lived here in the 80âs. It is a perfect spot, just enough out of town & close to all the east end art galleries. It was quiet, clean & with all the needs met. Parking spot is an absolute plus.
This property is perfect for a couple. It is extremely clean and private, and the views of the ocean is amazing. Itâs within walking distance of everything but far enough to not be bothered by excessive noise. The host offered information on everything may need to the point that we did not need to contact them. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be staying again in the future.
This place was wonderful; I spent my there alone and enjoyed the peace, the quiet, and the ability to be far enough from, and close enough to, the business of the center of town. Great place! The owners were responsive, kind, and provided a fully stocked kitchen. The place was immaculate! I would rent this gem again in a minute!
We've been friends for 20+ years and decided to purchase something together in Provincetown to share. We love the town and have been coming here for years. We've enjoyed many good times together here on the cape and are excited to finally own something.
We appreciate that the property is very close to the center or Provincetown, but not in the exact center with all the crowds. The building was renovated about 5 years ago and is in excellent condition. Being across the street from the harbor is fantastic for early morning walks with the sunrise or for early evening walks when the tide is out.
