Cozy meets so cute with this beachfront cottage in Provincetown, Mass., that was once a boathouse! It's tiny, but packed with charm: one bedroom, one bathroom, amazing views and a terrace just steps away from the water.

Along the side of the house, a gravel path leads through hydrangea bushes to the side door and the back patio. Dark blue trim is a crisp, handsome contrast with the gray shingle siding.

Can you picture the barbecues possible on this picturesque terrace? A little gate opens directly out onto the beach and wow views of Cape Cod Bay.

While away an afternoon—or 20—with Cape Cod Bay lapping at your feet and the endless sky overhead. The patio is totally private with easy beach and ocean access.
