About Vacation Rentals in Truro

The town of Truro is a small, rural community of Lower Cape Cod where the quaint and unique character of 'Old Cape Cod' is preserved. Truro is rich in history and strongly tied to the sea. It is in Truro where the Pilgrims from the Mayflower found a spring from which they drew their first drink of water in the new land, and where they found a cache of Indian corn, at a place named Corn Hill, that saved them from starvation after their first year. Truro is home to bike paths, nature trails, ten public beaches (on both the bay and the ocean), the Cape's oldest golf course, Highland Golf Links, and one of the few remaining lighthouses, Cape Cod Light (formerly Highland Light), erected in 1857, still operating and open to the public.

For guests of Massachusetts Vacation Homes, Truro possesses beautiful beaches on Cape Cod Bay and some of the most magnificent beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. A source of inspiration to artists and beachcombers alike, Truro's beaches, dunes and landscape of rolling hills are an attraction to tourists and vacationers. Home to a diverse year-round population, Truro's permanent population includes fishermen, tradesmen and an ever-growing number of retirees. Hiking enthusiasts can enjoy the ½-mile Pamet Trail.  The Pilgrim Spring Trail and Small Swamp Trail offer views of Pilgrim Lake. Cycling, both road and mountain biking, are popular pastimes in Truro. Guided tours of Wellfleet Harbor and Duck Creek are offered for canoists and kayakers.

Truro seashore has six swimming beaches and miles of unobstructed sand. Families favor the Nauset Light Beach for the shallow water and the huge sand dunes. You can  toss in a line for trout and small mouth bass in Great Pond, Horseleech Pond, and Pilgrim Lake. For golfers, the nine hole Highland Light Golf Course is about as close as a golfer can get to the experience of playing on the moors of Scotland.
