Average temperatures in Truro range from the 50s to about 70 in June and September, and around 60 to 80 in July and August. You’ll get some nice breezes at Bay View Pines, so evenings (or early morning) on the deck might be more comfortable with a sweater or light jacket (or a big fluffy bathrobe and a cup of coffee…).

There is a washer and dryer downstairs, and a laundry chute in the upstairs bathroom. Dryer racks are also available, so go green on those warm, breezy days and let the sun do your drying (smells nice, too!). You’ll need to bring your own laundry detergent.
There’s also a second refrigerator downstairs (thanks to one of our guests for the suggestion!).
