About The Wharf House

There’s no place like it…

Welcome to one of Provincetown’s most iconic properties: The Wharf House. Perched directly on the beach, the home offers unmatched views, sophisticated design, and complete comfort right in the heart of Provincetown's historic West End. You will be steps away from P-Town’s vibrant restaurants, galleries, boutiques, attractions… and just minutes away from home when you are ready to relax and call it a day (or night).

Located at 77A Commercial Street, as you arrive you will walk through a white picket fence gate, and down a brick walkway leading to the steps at the front door. Inside you will find 704 square feet of perfectly appointed space. The first floor has the large main space which includes your kitchen and living area. A large corner seating area with a smart TV is perfect for movie nights and a small table for two sets a romantic scene for date night dinners. Completing the first floor is a full bathroom with a circular Japanese soaking tub. The second floor is dedicated entirely to the bedroom suite. Your queen bed is surrounded on three sides by walls of windows, offering you endlessly changing vistas of Provincetown Harbor. A corner desk space is available in case you need to get some work done while on vacation, or if creative inspiration strikes. The full bathroom upstairs has a large walk-in shower, basin sink, and a skylight letting in plenty of natural light. A stackable washer and dryer is tucked behind a doorway at the top of the stairs.

The star of the property, of course, is the truly rare, oversized private deck suspended over the water. Most mornings seem to begin here for guests. With your coffee in hand, feet propped up, you will watch as sailboats drift lazily by. Provincetown is waking up, too—fishermen heading out, gulls dancing overhead, and the streets coming alive (and some people just heading home…) Deck amenities include a large dining table, gas grille, comfortable seating area and a direct gas fed fire pit. Water/beach access is just steps down from the home. At the higher tides, the house is surrounded by water on three sides.

As the day passes by and night settles in, you will sink into the tranquility of your comfortable bedroom, feeling fully connected to the magic that is Provincetown. Another perfect day—effortlessly luxurious, delightfully authentic—awaits tomorrow at The Wharf House.

Reviews

  • "Went to Ptown for our 25th anniversary. Chose this rental. We are fortunate to be able to stay in high end places but this was the best. The house is perfect. Set up like a home, instant comfort. Easy walk to everywhere. Looking forward to staying there again in the near future."

  • "Our experience at the iconic wharf was every bit as wonderful as we imagined. Manager was easily accessible and immediately responsive throughout our stay. Check in and out were a breeze. The house itself is in immaculate condition and with fantastic, up-to-date amenities (not to mention parking in an area where parking is a premium). There is no better place to be in PTown (which is saying a lot). We can’t recommend this property highly enough. We’ll be back!"

  • "We have rented in Ptown many times after selling our home there. The Wharf House was truly outstanding. You get the feeling you are on a boat! The house is very cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Location is great on Commercial St. but in the quieter West End. Manager was on top of everything before we arrived and made us feel very welcome. We were told this is the most photographed house in Ptown and I believe it after seeing nearly everyone who walked by stop and take a picture of it. We will certainly rent this home again!"

  • "I love the Wharf House. It is bright and airy and right on the bay. It's close to the action, but also quiet which is perfect for visiting Ptown. The bedroom is very spacious with a desk if you have to work at least you can see the water, and the soaking tub is wonderful!"

  • "This is one of the most photographed homes in P'town ... and for great reason. It's adorable, stylish and right on the water! We loved our week at the Wharf House ... everything was exactly as promised ... perfect home for a couple (it is only one bedroom, after all) ... the deck alone, would be enough to get most folks to rent. The kitchen and baths have been redone and are outfitted with all of the latest stylish appliances, etc."

  • "OMG! It's the best place EVER! We have had the pleasure of staying at this magical place for 3 years in a row.. and have signed up for it next season as well. We love the ambiance, the amount of space, the amenities, and the location. It's all excellent! My partner and I have vacationed in Ptown annually for at least 18 years...and have historically gotten out early to go the beach daily.. but now that we are staying here..there are some days where we stay "at home" much of the day and enjoy all the beauty and activity that is right out our door! The sunrises are magnificent, the view of the moon and stars enchanting. The bedroom is amazing.. with windows on all 4 sides.. the breeze and the sound of the water as the tides change will give you a very restful sleep. "

  • "The previous reviewers have pretty much summed up the delights of Wharf House. It's location is second to none with the most amazing deck. The house more than lived up to our expectations and our two week stay felt all to brief. The house was very comfortable, very light and in a quiet location. Well equipped with quality kitchen and laundry appliances. "

  • "Magical Where do I begin??? This was our 3rd time we have stayed at this magical wharf home, and every time you feel like Its your first time . The most beautiful home in the most beautiful town. Can't wait til next year!!!"

  • "Stunning Vacation Retreat! We stayed here over the 4th of July week and had a glorious time. Someone told me that this is the most photographed house in all of Provincetown and now I can see why. It really is a picture perfect retreat. It feels secluded while being close to town and many of the best restaurants. It's spotlessly clean, well maintained and very comfortable. Its the perfect house for summer indoor outdoor living. Everything we needed throughout the vacation was already in the house so we just had to bring out toothbrushes and stock the fridge. When we return to Ptown this will definitely be the place we will rent again and again!"

About P-Town

Provincetown is where the Mayflower Pilgrims first landed in 1620, signing the Mayflower Compact in its harbor before moving on to Plymouth. Over time, the town grew from a fishing village into a celebrated artists’ colony, attracting renowned painters, playwrights, and performers. In the mid-twentieth century, Provincetown also became a haven for the LGBTQ+ community. Long before acceptance was widespread, P-town welcomed those in search of safety, authenticity, and community. This spirit of openness shaped the town’s cultural identity and continues to shine through its art, theater, and everyday life.

Walk along Commercial Street and you will find a kaleidoscope of experiences: art galleries tucked into historic cottages, acclaimed restaurants serving the freshest seafood, and shops brimming with creativity and local color. Provincetown is also known for its legendary LGBTQ+ festivals and events, from Pride to Carnival, which celebrate diversity and joy in unforgettable fashion. By day, the beaches invite long walks, whale watching, and dune adventures. By night, Provincetown transforms into a lively stage for theater, music, cabaret, and a nightlife scene as colorful as the community itself.

Surrounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore, Provincetown is immersed in natural wonder. Windswept dunes, endless stretches of beach, and the rhythm of the tide provide a backdrop that feels timeless yet alive. Whether you are kayaking in the harbor, exploring hidden trails, or watching the sun sink into the Atlantic, Provincetown offers moments that linger long after you leave.
