We’re Jeremy and Chris. Two events professionals who started trading DC for Provincetown back in 2009. Our pursuit of sunshine, one-of-a-kind beaches and a bit of revelry brought us to one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Through our work and travel, we’ve become obsessed with the art of hospitality. So we set out to create spaces for others to experience quality design with functional comfort that’s rooted in a local narrative.
We believe in the profound influence of travel and through Fellow Nomads, we aim to tell an authentic story that brings meaning to your own journey.
-
We’ve put together a Ptown Guide with our favorite spots for coffee, cocktails, beaches, bites, and everything in between. It’s a mix of local classics and hidden gems — the kind of places we actually go ourselves. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or dance until midnight, this guide will help you do it like a local (or at least feel like one).
Arrival
-
One of Provincetown’s many charms is its place at the very tip of Cap Cod… An escape at the edge of the world. As a result, traveling in and out of Provincetown may include a variety of modes – planes, trains, automobiles, buses, and/or ferries.
Ptown is approximately two hours from Boston by car and less than 30 minutes by air.
BY FERRY
Two ferry companies offer seasonal service from Boston with high-speed options that cut your commute to 90 minutes. Ferry service is also available between Plymouth, MA and Provincetown.
BY AIR
Cape Air service from Boston is a quick, 20-minute scenic trip with fantastic views of Boston and Cape Cod. Cape Air offers fast, frequent, seasonal flights between Provincetown and Boston, and Provincetown and New York. You can book Cape Air directly through their site or via JetBlue.
Provincetown Airport is located on Race Point Road and minutes from town.
BY BUS
Peter Pan Bus Company has regular, year-round bus service between Provincetown (MacMillan Pier), Hyannis (Transportation Center), Boston South Station, and Boston Logan Airport.

Dot's Cottage is part of a multi-family complex that consists of a main house (The Salty Dorothy) with one rental unit and a freestanding cottage in the rear (Dot’s). The cottage is accessible through the main house’s driveway and a shared walkway. The outdoor shower, beach equipment, trash & recycling containers, and the bike racks are also shared by the whole property.
The Salty Dorothy unit and Dot’s Cottage can also be rented together for a total of 4 bedrooms and 8 people.
-
Check-in is at 3:00PM.
Please let us know what your estimated time of arrival will be.
Once you arrive, take a moment to check the home for cleanliness and that everything is in good condition. If something doesn’t seem right, please report it to us in a message within 12 hours of your arrival.
-
If you're driving, we encourage guests to use nearby parking lots, as our cottage does not have parking. The driveway attached to the property is rented along with unit B in the main house. On occasion, a parking spot in the driveway may become available... we will contact guests with details when this is possible.
Offsite Parking
There’s no street or metered parking on Carver Street, but don’t stress… there are plenty of spaces close by and just a short stroll from the cottage.
The Town of Provincetown enforces metered parking from April 1 - October 31, 7 days per week, from 8 am-Midnight.
Parking is free in town lots and metered spaces from November 1 - March 31.
The closest town lot (6 min walk) is the Grace Hall Lot, located at Prince and Bradford Streets. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From April 1 - October 31 the cost is $3 per hour, $30 maximum per 24 hours.
MacMillian Pier Parking lot (15 min walk) is located in the center of town. Open 24 hours a day from April 1 - October 31, 7 days a week, $4 per hour, $40 maximum per 24 hours.
There are also privately run parking lots, not affiliated with the town, all along Bradford Street. Parking rules and rates vary.

Address: 4 Carver Street (Unit C), Provincetown, MA 02657
Dot’s Cottage sits behind the main house located at 4 Carver Street. When you look down the driveway toward the backyard, you’ll spot the cottage peaking out from the right of the main house.
To reach the entrance, walk down the driveway and follow the brick walkway that runs alongside the house. When the walkway turns left at the back corner, the cottage entrance will be on your right.
Your personal door code will be sent to you on the morning of your arrival.
To operate the lock, press anywhere on the keypad to wake the lock; the keypad will illuminate. Enter your code followed by the checkmark button to unlock. To lock, shut the door to latch and then touch the Yale logo.
Cottage
-
Trash and recycling containers are located in the kitchen. When they’re full, please empty them into the outdoor bins next to the cottage. To find them, exit through the sliding glass door, go down to the brick patio and turn left… the bins will be on your left against the cottage.
Additional trash bags are located under the kitchen sink.
Recycling should be loose and not placed in bags.
Property management will take the outside bins to the edge of the driveway on Tuesday evenings so they can be emptied by the town on Wednesday mornings.
-
Quiet hours are from 10pm - 8am.
Please be respectful of our neighbors at all times. Being part of a multi-family property in the center of Provincetown, it's important to be mindful of noise levels to ensure a harmonious experience for all neighbors.
Also, please be aware that noise from town travels throughout the neighborhood and it’s difficult for us to control any noise from our neighbors.
-
Each bedroom and the living room has it’s own in-wall air-conditioning unit. When the units are running, please keep all windows and doors closed to help them work efficiently. We also ask that you turn them off whenever you head out — it helps conserve energy and keeps our little slice of Provincetown a bit greener.
When the weather turns cooler, the house is heated by a baseboard radiator system. The thermostat for your unit is located on the wall next to the bathroom door. To use it, turn the dial and place the upper red arrow on the temperature you desire. We suggest slowly raising the temperature as the system runs a little hotter than average, so start low and adjust gradually. The thermostat controls the heat in all rooms of the unit.
-
Each guest at Dot’s is provided with one bath towel, one hand towel, and one washcloth (up to four guests). You’ll also find dark grey, bleach-safe makeup towels — please use those for removing makeup or skincare products.
During the warmer months, we also provide one beach towel per guest.
We ask that you treat all towels and linens with care. Makeup, face treatments, and tanning products can permanently stain fabrics, so please avoid using our white towels with any skin products. White bath towels are for indoor use only, and we kindly ask that you don’t attempt to hand wash stained items — we’ll take care of laundering everything after your stay.
-
Please note that the back edge of the cottage property sits atop a 10-foot retaining wall that borders the neighboring yards. For your safety, please do not sit, lean, or climb on the retaining wall at any time.
-
Our bike racks are communal for the entire property. They are located at the end of the driveway next to the Unit B entrance.
Please remember to lock your bikes securely. While we love seeing guests explore Provincetown on two wheels, we can’t be responsible for any loss or damage to bicycles or related equipment.
-
At this time we do not have laundry facilities available for guests. We hope to provide this service soon!
-
Water is a precious resource, please conserve it! Please do not dispose of foreign objects or personal hygiene products in the toilet.
-
During the warmer season, two beach towels are provided in the bedrooms. Chairs & umbrellas are provided in the outside storage shed. Please shake off / wipe down any sand before returning items to the shed. Do not use bath towels outside the house.
-
