With its idyllic beaches, abundant nature, recreational activities, proximity to Provincetown, and affordable rates, the Prince of Whales Cottages presents an inviting option for those looking to unwind and explore the wonders of Cape Cod.
In the words of renowned author Henry David Thoreau, who cherished the allure of beach life, “We often love to think of life on beaches when the weather is serene; sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and the bayberries… their music the surf and the peep of the beach-bird.” Today, one can easily imagine Thoreau choosing to stay in Truro, Massachusetts, the last town before Provincetown, and finding solace at the Prince of Whales Cottages.
At the Prince of Whales Cottages, guests have the opportunity to stay in charming, standalone cottages that cater to different group sizes, ranging from cozy one-bed studios to spacious two-bedroom units accommodating up to four guests. Offering a unique alternative to traditional hotels, these fully equipped cottages provide a range of amenities, including kitchens, private decks, furnished interiors, air conditioning, private bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, and cable TV.
The cottages’ affordability is another appealing aspect, with shorter stay options available for as few as two or three nights, breaking away from the typical weekly rental model. This flexibility allows visitors to tailor their vacation experience according to their preferences and schedules, making it an attractive choice for those seeking a unique getaway.
Eric Shapiro, Founder and CEO of The Lexvest Group, highlights the cottages’ tranquil location, conveniently situated near the Ptown shuttle, making it easily accessible to various attractions such as beaches, hiking and biking trails, downtown Provincetown, fishing spots, and whale watching excursions. After a day filled with relaxation and exploration, guests can choose to dine at one of the many nearby restaurants or enjoy a cozy meal on their cottage’s private deck, followed by unwinding around the on-site fire pit.
Renovated in 2023, each cottage offers a comfortable and contemporary ambiance, with modern furnishings, new accessories, and essential amenities. On-site facilities include free parking, barbecue grills, picnic tables, and a restaurant, ensuring a convenient and enjoyable stay for all visitors.
Beyond the cottage grounds, the Prince of Whales Cottages boasts proximity to renowned beaches such as Race Point and Herring Cove, as well as the expansive Cape Cod National Seashore, a protected area spanning 43,600 acres (68 square miles) and showcasing some of the region’s most breathtaking beaches and dunes. The allure of Cape Cod’s natural beauty and serene coastal landscapes is sure to captivate visitors.
The Prince of Whales Cottages has garnered high praise from returning guests and consistently receives top ratings on hotel booking platforms. One satisfied guest shared, “Loved that this was a nightly rental so I could tailor my vacation and not have to stay an entire week… Overall, this place was terrific! I would definitely stay again.” It’s evident that the cottages offer an enchanting retreat, reminiscent of Thoreau’s appreciation for the harmony found within nature.
