Nautical Haven
Haven: A harbor or anchorage; a port.
Welcome to our bayfront, 2-Level Condo w/ Beach Access, 3 Decks, WiFi & Bay Views at Sunset!
Water is all around you at this two-level, bayfront condo on the shores of North Truro, where you’ll have a community beach on Cape Cod Bay right out back and the waters of East Harbor just across Shore Road out front.
The view of Cape Cod Bay draws you into the first-floor living space, where a glass door leads outside to a shaded deck, a sandy beach area, and stairs that descend into the cool water. Two more decks await upstairs – one overlooking the lake across the street and another off the bayfront bedroom with sunset views that reach the Pilgrim Monument in downtown Provincetown. This bayfront deck is also a wonderful spot to gaze at the stars in the night sky using the provided telescope. Back downstairs, you’ll find an open kitchen with all the pots, pans, and dishes you could require; space to dine at both the circular table and the breakfast bar; and evening entertainment in the form of board games, books, and a Netflix-equipped flatscreen TV (with a second TV in the bedroom).
Accommodations & About Your Stay
This two-level, waterfront condo is located on Shore Road in North Truro, with East Harbor on one side of the road and Cape Cod Bay outside your back door. When you’re not lounging on the community’s bayfront beach, you’ll be less than two miles south of High Head Beach on the ocean and three miles east of bustling downtown Provincetown with its beloved restaurants, galleries, nightlife, and whale-watching excursions. Other fantastic area beaches – from Race Point to Herring Cove – are within six miles as well.

Jim, Danielle, & Olive
Welcome to Nautical Haven located in beautiful Truro, Cape Cod.
The outer cape has a special place in our hearts. Our daughter Olive has been coming to Truro and Provincetown since before she was born. Danielle grew up spending summers in Provincetown and we honeymooned here. Truro and Provincetown hold many special memories for our family.
For us, there is no place more grounding than being by the ocean. The ocean is powerful. Whenever we come back, we are centered. We find our breath. We hope that this property allows you to find the energy, connection, and centering you need too.
