There are some travelers who prefer their vacation accommodations to lie far outside the city limits, feeling the space that surrounds them gives them the freedom to breathe deep, while others want the sounds of the sea to be so close they can hear it through closed doors. Still others are urban travelers who prefer the convenience of town life, wanting to be near the restaurants and shops that make the area memorable and feeling that they come alive in the hustle and bustle of a city, and when you choose Cape Cod for your vacation destination, you can have your choice of all three. Today, we at Pretty Picky Properties want to take our guests on a tour of our downtown cottages on Cape Cod for rent, offering a peek into town life and all the comforts of homes.

Welcome Home
The cottage rentals in Cape Cod, MA we offer downtown, no matter which town or village in which you have chosen to stay, are homes that will welcome you, your friends, and family, enticing you to spend time at home. They offer the same serenity and style you can expect from our beachfront ones, and because the sea surrounds us here, you will never be far from the water, even as you are close to the shops and restaurants of the downtown area, often offering covered front porches that provide a place to sit and sip your favorite beverages while watching the world go by. These spaces may be large family homes with fenced-in backyards, cheerful gardens, and a barbecue grill with which the scents that waft throughout the town will have neighborhood kids peeking through the cracks of the barriers that separate your yard from the sidewalks of town. Clapboard siding, arches covered with flowering vines, green grass and gardens filled with hydrangeas of all colors; these spaces will welcome you home even as you are miles away from your own.
Close to the Shops
Shopping while on holiday is one of our favorite activities and in most cases, guests staying in our in town escapes can meander in and out of the shops of downtown without having to hop in a car and fight Cape Cod traffic. Step out your door and after a brief stroll, wander inside Ducks in the Window in Chatham, walk across the street and lose yourself in the masterpieces that decorate the tables of the HandCraft House, or take a short walk to the Brown Jug in Sandwich to stock your pantry with the specialty foods that line their shelves. Each downtown area offers shops and markets that are destined to enhance your vacation experience.
Within Smelling Distance of the Restaurants
When you are staying in the downtown area, you can safely enjoy a second glass of wine, another martini, or the big mug of craft beer, knowing that your doorstep is within walking distance and your rental car keys are stored safely back at your Pretty Picky Properties downtown cottages on Cape Cod for rent, waiting to be used the next morning when you are once again clear headed and safe to drive. Explore the menu of the Portside Tavern, a stunning restaurant that has taken over the beautiful spaces that were once a Sea Captain’s home in Dennis and start your day with a hearty breakfast from the Buttercup Café in Barnstable; all are located close to our downtown area Cape Cod retreats.

The Nightlife
It is true that you will be close to the local hot spots, enticing you to spend a night on the town, sipping, savoring, and resolving to sleep in late the next day, but the nightlife we are discussing here is the one you can enjoy at home.
