“It's like staying with friends, except without the guilt.”

We foolishly booked a last minute trip to P-town in July, so were scrambling for accommodations. We found Christopher's and from the moment we got there it was amazing. Although our room was a little small and dominated by an AC unit, the whole place really just feels like they're letting you into their home (which they are).

The den is stocked with all kinds of activities, they put out snacks, cups, wine bottle openers, anything you could need. We sat on the romantic back deck with the owners and their two dogs and had a really nice chat before heading out for the night. We also enjoyed the same experience for breakfast where they served exactly what I would have eaten in my own home (fresh juice, cereal, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, pastries, coffee) and everyone was relaxed and at home.

The location is oh-so-ideal as you're 1/2 a block away from all the action and the water. Definitely would go back!

Christopher's BTB is a great place in Ptown. I stayed there right before Halloween and the place was decked out great, and the hosts couldn't have been nicer. I'll definitely come back!

“My favorite place to stay in Provincetown”

I am a frequent guest at Christopher's and I had never been disappointed. The rooms are spotless, the breakfasts are always delicious and their prices are extremely reasonable.The hosts, Jim and Dave, make every guest feel at welcome. They are happy to help with questions about ptown and leave great little snacks in the front room that add a nice homey touch. I cannot recommend Christopher enough, it is becoming the only place I stay when visiting ptown!

“Year after year ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

I made my first visit to Provincetown Labor Day 2006. I stayed at CBTB that year, and every year since!

The house is over 100 years old, but has been well kept. It's warm, and comfortable. I have grown to be just as comfortable staying here as in my own house, and that doesn't happen to me very often.

Jim and Dave do a wonderful job of running the place with the help of Shane. The rooms are always clean, baths are always cleaned and stocked, and the breakfast is great.

My favorite place about the house is the back patio. It's gorgeous. It's a great place to sit and eat breakfast, take a break in the afternoon, or have a glass of wine in the evening. And not to mention, hang out with Jeb! (Their adorable black lab.)

The house is situated perfectly for me. It's on a quiet sidestreet away from the insanity - yet if you want insanity it's just a 5 minute walk away.

Stay here!

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at Christopher's by the Bay. My room was very clean and comfortable. The service was fantastic; my room was always promptly made up with clean towels and fresh linens. I really enjoyed the cozy outdoor patio. The owners Jim and Dave were incredibly helpful with suggestions for restaurants and activities in and around Ptown. I plan on coming back and staying there again and highly recommend this B and B to anyone.

Room Tip: Loved the Michelangelo room! Was very spacious and quiet.
