I arrived late on Saturday and she found me Sunday morning reading in the sun on a lounge chair and said something like "oh you look so comfortable there, stay! I'll check you in whenever you are ready." That was just so nice as I was tired from traveling. The vibe is easygoing and full of kindness. Some guests that knew each other had had a celebration and we came back to PRL while they were having dessert. They offered us cake and ice cream and we sat and joined them! Poor Richard's Landing evokes the best of Provincetown - how the community welcomes and supports people. Straight couples, gay men, lesbian women, and trans and non-binary folx were all present during my week on the wharf. There is a shared gas grill, plus bicycles and locks, kayaks, life jackets, floaties, and beach chairs available. Cottage #2 is super cute with a bedroom with a view of the beach and MacMillan Pier, and a table and chairs with the same view in the living area. There is a single bed in the living room- with a trundle underneath! (I think you have to pay extra for a 4th person). No couch, but a cozy reading chair. Galley kitchen is very narrow with a half fridge but has everything you need. Bathroom has a sliding door and a nice hot shower. The toilet is right up against the wall so there's a little bit of maneuvering involved if you are, like me, a little overweight. There are heaters and fans to help control the temperature, and the bay breeze is wonderful. This is a GREAT PLACE. The dune shacks were originally built to help shipwrecked sailors who made it to shore- inside the shacks there was everything a sailor might need to survive- food, clean clothes, a bed- and in the same spirit Poor Richard's Landing is truly a safe harbor. I can't wait to come back.

Happy New Year from my happy place!…read more A friend introduced me to Lis Sur Mer three years ago when I was seeking a quiet retreat on the Cape to write, reflect and recharge. My first visit was in July and I was the fortunate beneficiary of a last minute cancelation in the Stable, one of three cottages I'd come to call my home away from home. Since that magical trip I've been back to Lis Sur Mer with my kids, with my dog, with friends and a few times on my own and had the pleasure of staying in each of the cottages. Lis Sur Mer is a quiet retreat in North Truro with three cottages, each with its own unique charm. The owner clearly takes pride in providing the ultimate cape experience from maintaining the natural landscape and foliage of the local environment, to the privacy and deliberate tranquility of each cottage, to the obvious care taken in outfitting the spaces with furniture, artwork and other comforts that extend the peace of the Cape into the peace of my home away from home. The property embodies the natural habitat of the Cape and has its own private beach on the bay where sunsets are spectacular and fellow beach-goers are scarce. The off season rates can't be beat, so I've made Lis Sur Mer my regular destination for a long winter weekend, Thanksgiving, New Years and week-long stays during the warm months. The property staff is attentive and warm. The local shops and restaurants are welcoming and fun to visit. My favorite is Chequessett Chocolate just up the road in North Truro - best cappuccino with almond milk outside of NYC!

Something I had dreamt of, yearned for. Always so crowded. I was searching online one day and I saw Lis Sur Mer. "Artist Cottages." We decided to start a new tradition. Come to the Cape for Christmas. When we got here, it was off the main road, then off the secondary road. We stayed in "The Stable." It was so comfy and cozy and the grounds are amazing. You can walk (in a minute) to the stairs that lead to the beach. The three cottages are just far apart enough for total privacy. Peace. Quiet. I never slept so well in my life. We definitely knew we wanted to come back in the spring. They let us see the Beach Cottage. This was my dream come true! All the windows in front look out at the bay and Provincetown. When you walk in there are high ceilings, beams and charming antiques. Eclectic. Magical. Old Cape Cod. You do not immediately see modern devices, but they are there! The hard wood floors, beams and skylights all catch your eye. There is a fireplace when you walk in, (old fashioned gas) and in the first bedroom a king size bed and a fireplace. Romantic. I also write, and the table in front of the window is perfect. The towels are glorious and plentiful! This comforter seems to keep me at the perfect temperature! (not easy) The proprietor is a good, kind man and if you need anything there are 3 wonderful people here to help you. I could go on but believe me, if you get a chance come stay here. Every person who writes in the visitors book says just about the same things. You will be renewed. Lis Sur Mer is magical! They have a Facebook page. We will be back in June! P.S. If you desire crowds and shopping, Provincetown is down the road! Sincerely, Carol and Bob

No response until 4:13 from someone called Tash saying there was availability, and to let them know if interested, and they would respond with deposit instructions. I replied at 4:52 PM, saying I was interested and requested clarification on the rate, because it was more than what their rate schedule on the website said. I had told my wife it was a beachfront room, and we were really excited. We go to the outer Cape for a week every summer, but did not book ahead this year as I had recently started a new job, and I was scrambling to find something last minute for 2 nights. As of 6:55 PM, I did not have a response, so decided to call. Couldn't understand the name with the accent, but told the person I was in contact already and wanted to book the room, and was told nothing was available. I asked how, I was already in contact, and I was told she came in at 3, there were multiple people taking reservations. HOW IS A PENDING RESERVATION NOT COMMUNICATED??? An offer for a room was made. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT after getting so excited. This is the worst thing a reservation desk could do. Saying in email that the message does not guarantee a reservation doesn't mean you have BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

The restaurant space at this property is stunning inside and out, and the views of the harbor are always breathtaking. We were seated by a smiling and friendly hostess. We started off with a Negroni mocktail and a Cosmopolitan. Both cocktails were expertly prepared and delicious. Our first shared course was oysters en brochette. These were Wellfleet oysters wrapped in bacon that appeared to be battered and fried. They were decadent, very delicious, and served with a Creole mustard sauce. For our entrées, we chose from the à la carte menu, which included grilled salmon with a citrus beurre blanc sauce and a grilled lobster tail from a 2-pound lobster served with drawn butter. The side dishes we chose were roasted potatoes, asparagus, and mascarpone grits. While eating, we both continually commented on how perfectly everything was cooked and how delicious everything tasted. It was amazing. The only miss here was the mascarpone grits. They had no flavor, and the expected creaminess from the mascarpone was lost on us. We asked our server for some salt and pepper and added it to the grits, which greatly improved the flavor profile. Our desserts looked and tasted just as amazing as the rest of our meal. The crème brûlée was delicious, and the flourless chocolate torte with raspberry sauce was amazing. I included photos, but we devoured the chocolate torte so quickly that all I can show is an empty plate. The service was a bit disappointing. It was slow and inattentive, which surprised us because the restaurant was not busy, there were a lot of staff, and there were many empty tables around us. The interaction with our server was very friendly, however, and she seemed very nice. Every time I dine at the Red Inn, I wonder why I don't spend more time there. The bar space is inviting and offers beautiful views of the harbor as well.

Short of being on Commercial St, you really can't do better. It's MAX a 5 min walk to a pretty centrally located part of Commercial Street. There is a really cool rooftop area that is ideal for a glass of wine or a relaxing moment. Check in was seamless. Our room was actually ready an hour earlier than expected. The room is decorated beautifully and the linens were some of the most comfortable linens I've ever slept on. GF and I. were joking that we need to ask them what they are because they are so orgasmic to lay in. The AC worked very well and the room as very cold. We had our own bathroom, which was the biggest upgrade from the last place we stayed in Ptown but the overall size of the room was a bit small. For normal people,, it probably would be fine but because we came as part of a 3 week work trip, we had a ton of luggage and it was a real challlenge to fit it in the room and be able to walk around. Overall, I would recommend this place.

We loved our stay and look forward to staying here again on our next trip out. The room is plenty, about what you'd expect at a hotel. Windows that open, a heating and cooling unit, refrigerator, en suite bathroom, and a large comfortable bed. My absolute favorite part is the location. Just far enough from the main paths to be very, very quiet at night and still barely a 5 minute walk away from the center. (Also; the breakfast sandwiches at the cafe next door are fantastic.) Thank you!

There's a cover, but you can also get a punch card if you're planning to come back a few times so you're not paying every time you walk in.

If you don't have plans in the afternoon in P Town, you really can't go wrong just stopping by Boatslip and seeing where the day takes you.

Apparently, the same camera I've brought in dozens of times over the years has suddenly become... forbidden. Meanwhile, every person in there is wielding a high-def smartphone camera capable of shooting in slo-mo, night vision, and probably space-time travel. But my charming lil' Polaroid? Too much. What exactly is the difference? One gives you a printed memory in 90 seconds. The other lets you livestream your twirl to your entire follower count. But sure, I'm the security threat. Honestly... I'm kinda heartbroken. It's tradition. It's joy. It's art. And it's how I've kept the spirit of T Dance alive all these years -- snap by snap, one instant memory at a time. Maybe next time I'll just tape a Polaroid to the back of my phone and call it "vintage filter live." Or maybe... there won't be a next time. Boatslip, what gives? #LetPolaroidsDance #TDanceTradition #DisappointedButStillServingLooks

We were originally disappointed when we realized we had reserved the former, but having done the trip, I'm not seeing the value of paying so much more for basically the same tour. Definitely recommend!
