1. Provincetown: West End Waterfront (from USD 325)

As you open the door to the studio apartment, you might think that you walked into a house boat for a moment. Located just off Commercial Street, this quiet haven for 2 adults affords lovely views and easy access to everything. Do note that the property is not suitable for wheelchair users. Slide open the glass doors and enjoy the warm sunshine on the quiet deck with a book in hand or a cool drink of lemonade. The deck looks out over the calm waters of Cape Cod. At high tide, jump in and go for a swim. At low tide, take a leisurely stroll on the flats. The bright open kitchen and bar seating is perfect for a cosy meal. There isn’t a bedroom, but the sofa in the living room is easily converted into a super comfortable sleeper sofa. What could be more soothing than drifting off to the sound of water lapping against the deck and the soft whisper of the ocean breeze?

If your idea of a holiday involves nothing but sand and sea, you will love this listing. Right next to Craigville Beach, the best part of this house is the private beach right out your door. Popsicle-hued skies, glimmers of gold on the deep blue ocean, and copper-coloured sands, gorgeous sunsets are an everyday affair here. Have your meals with a side dish of ocean view in the comfort of the snug house. If you’re taking a break from the beach, spread out on the leather sofa and watch TV, or choose a board game from the collection to play. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, while a ladder leads up to the loft with a full-sized bed and a single bed. No matter which room you choose, you’re in for a good night’s sleep with the the sound of waves striking the shore lulling you to sleep.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a feast, while the dining area has seating space for 8. A piano in the corner comes in handy to strike up a lively tune while dinner is being prepared. High ceilings and glass windows allow natural sunlight to fill the house. A gleaming stairwell leads up to the upper common area and bedrooms. Enjoy the sweeping views of the bay from the spacious second floor, which is great space to hang out with family or friends. This bedroom is a picture of calm and serenity, with gorgeous shades of blue making up the landscape out the window.

5. Chatham: Fabulous Waterfront Chatham Village Home, Walk to Town & Beaches, Panoramic View (from USD 750)

Chatham is a quaint seaside town that sits at the ‘elbow’ of the Cape Cod peninsula. This listing is well located in a tranquil neighbourhood, with Chatham Village on Chatham’s Main Street just a short stroll away. The house is in a private area but you can walk to Lighthouse Beach or Chatham’s Fish Pier within 15 minutes. Right on the banks of Little Mill Pond, the backyard opens up to Ocean Harbour. The private stairway access brings you to the edge of the waters where you can watch the boats go by. The large dining table will comfortably fit everyone and looks out onto the harbour through the window. You won’t be able to get enough of the views. Luckily the two living rooms face the harbour so you can admire the views from your snug spot on the couch. Clean white sheets, gentle sunlight filtering in through the windows, and simple room designs give the bedrooms a serene aura. This ground-floor queen bedroom has a view of the lovely harbour too. On a fine summer’s day, bring the party outdoors to the outdoor patio, replete with chaise lounges, an outdoor dining set, and a panoramic view. In the golden-blue light of the evening sun, settle into these chairs with a glass of wine. Life’s good.
