Provincetown rentals

If you would like to stay more than just a few days, renting a space is a great alternative to hotels; there are several types of houses, apartments/condos, cottages to rent out – all in Provincetown. You will find a wide range of prices, the summer obviously being the most expensive than the other seasons.

Some advice:

• Inquire about house features beforehand – if there are small and large appliances, television, Internet…
• You have a car, ask if there will be parking spaces, something very appreciated in Provincetown, where parking can be hard to find!
• Read the comments from other guests – it’s always instructive and helpful
• Don’t hesitate to ask the owner questions and request photos
• Some house owners do not start renting out before January, so don’t wait to contact again! (j’ai des troubles avec cette phrase)
• Make connections with the owner, and before officially deciding, don’t hesitate to call him or her. If in doubt, leave it alone.
• If you wish to have some peace and quiet during the night, you should avoid the very center of town – meaning between 161 Commercial and 356 Commercial; better choices are the East or West Ends.
• Means of payment can be checks in case money is lost during travel; some owners accept international bank transfers or use Paypal or direct debit cards.
• Secure deposit your money – they will often be the most demanded in case of robbery, it’s returned in a month which follows the house stay.
