Press Release

North Truro, Massachusetts, May 2019— From it’s simple beginnings when purchased in 1976 under a different name, Oceana Cottages has been owned by the Mota family. From 1976 until 2017 another family was managing the property during that time, and in the Fall of 2017 they left and the Mota family took over management.

Nestled on a private beach on Cape Cod Bay, Oceana Cottages is the perfect place to enjoy unplugged relaxation at its finest. Their reputation as a peaceful vacation destination has remained the same.

The upgrades started in winter of 2017 after the change to new management, and the new name of Oceana Cottages. The new managers knew they had a tough road ahead, but they dove in and have really improved upon the property that the previous managers had let deteriorate. There was nothing they could do about the sizes of the cottages or the interiors as the cottages were built in the 1950s.
What they could do was improve the infrastructure, and that’s exactly what they did.

An overhaul of the heating systems from oil to electric, one building new HVAC units were installed as there was no heating at all in those, new windows and doors installed, floors redone, and bathrooms redone was just the start. Some cottages were so run down that they had to be completely remodeled and the electricity and plumbing revamped including replacing the water tanks. Lighting fixtures were added where only light bulbs existed and/or replaced and cottages were repainted or revarnished. New roofs were installed.

The cottages are all self-catering, so new appliances were brought in to replace the very old ones, new mattresses and furnishings as well as microwaves and Keurig coffee makers. The pots, pans, dishes were replaced with new ones and the towels and linens were replaced.

The office also was redesigned for easier accommodation of check-ins and check-outs as well as providing a walk-up window for contactless customer service during the covid pandemic. The laundry area was also redesigned with a window through which linens could be exchanged via contactless means. The manager greets you with a smile and has all the information you’d need for the different events in the surrounding area. Provincetown is only 4 miles away and there is a bus that stops just opposite the office to take you into town, which many take advantage of, as parking in town is at a premium.

Insides were redecorated, and the new management continues to bring the establishment into the 21st century with electronic keycard door locks as well as new high speed wi-fi internet with boosters inside the cottages.

The cottages can sleep from 2 to 6 guests and there is even a honeymoon cottage. Some have showers, and some have baths with showers. You’ll enjoy fully equipped oceanfront cottages and some with ocean views as you allow the sound of the waves to melt your worries away. Since you’ll be right on the water, a warm summer swim is always just a few steps from your door. When you book with Oceana Cottages, get ready for memories that will last a lifetime.
