The space
The Shack at Lis Sur Mer is a one room open plan studio. You'll have your own full mini-kitchen with a microwave, toaster oven, 1/2 fridge, electric 4-burner range top, and a coffee pot. Your double bed and couch are surrounded by mesmerizing walls of windows overlooking the bay.

The outdoor patio becomes part of the living area of the cottage featuring a seating area, picnic table and outdoor charcoal grill.

The Shack is surrounded by pines with a great outdoor shower facing the bay. It is located back about 35 feet from the dune. There is a seating area at the very top of the dune in front of the cottage.

You'll have access to Lis Sur Mer's private beach just seconds from The Shack, shared only with guests of the other two cottages.

Truro is a great small town surrounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore, freshwater ponds, hiking trails, and great restaurants. It's just a 15-minute drive to downtown Provincetown where you'll find nightlife, galleries, theater, and whale watching.

There is a private deck beside the cottage for your use. The stairs down to the beach are steps away from the front door.

Speaks English
Your host is an entrepreneur in the arts who has spent the last 40 years traveling internationally for business. While his stateside base is most often New York City, he has taken every opportunity in his travels to seek refuge in quaint European villages. His appreciation of these historic havens was a great part of the inspiration for Lis Sur Mer.   Lis Sur Mer was originally an exclusive family compound and retreat until 15 years ago when he began opening it up to visitors. With Lis Sur Mer he has created a storybook compound renowned for its privacy, romance and renewal. Built from the fruits of the sea and recycled building of past centuries, inspired in part by the  concept of the famous artist dune shacks of Provincetown, the aesthetic is a French fishing village  mated with Old Cape Cod. Visiting Lis Sur Mer is an adventure in escaping modern frenzy and McMansions, getting back to the basic joy of natural beauty with extraordinary gardens, awe at every vista, and total cultural refuge. At the same time high speed internet and HD TV quietly co-exist. There is no place on Cape Cod like Lis Sur Mer. The word most often used to describe Lis Sur Mer is “magical” … Bring your inner artist.
