THE GEM, has always been a destination cottage for many of my guests. A place to enjoy the beautiful views, the beach and the cottage's amenities. It provides easy social distancing as well as a peaceful, relaxing, anxiety-free getaway.

So, spend your vacation in a charming waterfront cottage on Beach Point in Truro. This property has an unobstructed panoramic water view of Cape Cod Bay from the Long Point Lighthouse, along the arm of Provincetown, through Truro, and up the coast. Enjoy a combination of daily walks, swimming or just relaxing on your 40 ft. private beach as the tide comes and goes. The bay waters are warm and the sunsets magnificent!

This well maintained and exceptionally clean cottage provides an open living room / kitchen / dining area, master bedroom/bath, plus a second bathroom. A gas stove and a gas fireplace. The interior space is uniquely designed and offers over 750+ sq. ft. of living space.

In addition, the large private yard offers a variety of outdoor areas to enjoy including your own private beach, waterfront seating, a large deck, an outdoor kitchen with a sink, a gas grill, and a private hot and cold outdoor shower.

Also included is off street parking, central air conditioning, free high speed wireless internet and all linens and towels.

For guests that want a quiet setting for their rental, this spotless private residence is located just a mile from the Provincetown line and just 2 miles from Provincetown Center. Travel is easy by walking, biking, car, Shuttle Bus, Uber or taxi.

When arriving the homeowner will personally welcome you and give you a quick tour of the cottage and property.

This property is located in an area that gets excellent cell phone and wireless internet reception.

Watch the best show in town, the sunset, from your private Adirondack chairs.

There's absolutely no reason to leave this property... but... if you want to go exploring, simply go to the end of the driveway and flag down the frequently scheduled shuttle bus, every twenty minutes, that'll take you right into Provincetown Center, Truro Center, the outer beaches and/or local restaurants.

This property is for 2 people only.
1 well behaved dog accepted. There is a $300.00 pet fee.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
I will gladly refund your total payment if I re-rent the property for the full or partial price.

    We had a lovely relaxing vacation. Checkin was seamless, the cottage was immaculate, well-organized and beautifully decorated. The adirondock chairs were perfectly positioned for reading in the sun on the quiet private beach, with Provincetown restaurants just a short drive away.

    Mariellen was an awesome host, and made sure we felt right at home during our visit! Perfect place for a relaxing beach get away! We were able to enjoy the beach, cook up some good meals on the grill, and watch the sunset before a lovely stroll down the beach to finish the day. You’re also super close to Ptown, which was awesome to explore! Hopefully we’ll be back soon!

    Fantastic property that walks out onto the beach (bay side) and is in close proximity to both Provincetown and Head of the Meadow beach (10min drive each). The cottage was clean, well kept, and had great features (bedroom with screened windows and water view, great deck with comfortable furniture, outdoor shower). Mariellen was accommodating of our dog as well. Highly recommended.

    We loved our time at 'The Gem'. This was a very tranquil destination and the respite we needed. Marielllen is a very thoughtful and responsive host and her artistic curation of the cottage was very appreciated. The grounds are lovely and with direct private beach access. We highly recommend this property!

    This place is so nice; the cottage, the decks, outdoor kitchen, private beach with Adirondacks nestled in a sand dune, all to die for! Mariellen is a pleasure to work with and it is clear will go out of her way to be sure you are comfortable.

    We absolutely loved this cottage. It’s full of vintage and quirky decor, but also has every modern amenity you could want in a beach cottage. The location is perfect, the cottage is situated such that even on that densely populated stretch of beach, you feel it’s your own little secluded spot. We’ve been vacationing at various places North Truro for 30 years, and The Gem is by far our favorite spot. We loved the cottage and the location, but just as important, Mariellen is a perfect host...warm and welcoming and responsive. We had a small issue with one of the TVs, which is not worth mentioning except to say that Mariellen came right over and took care of it. We really couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay at The Gem!
