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.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage in Truro! The location can't be beat, the beach is a beauty, and the cottage is well-equipped with awesome decor. The owner was very easy to work with and super helpful. We would definitely stay here again - incredibly relaxing vacation!
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!
This is a special place. Most of the reviews before mine say the same thing, but to put my statement in perspective - My husband and I live in Abruzzo, Italy in the midst of a National Park and we live in the mountains and yet are only 45 minutes from the Adriatic; this year we came to Cape Cod and Mariellen's Gem for our vacation, and it was as perfect as anything back home. The house is lovely, artfully appointed with everything one might need. Its located in an area of historic cottages and has PRIVATE DIRECT BAYSIDE BEACH ACCESS! While there are many things to do and see (Provincetown is just down the road and the shuttle is right there) the cottage itself was a DESTINATION - sit on the beach in your Adirondack beach chairs and watch the sailboats. Walk, run, swim and use the fabulous outdoor shower to de-sand. We ate out, but more often brought fabulous take-out to eat at the cottage because nowhere did we find a better view nor sweeter atmosphere than the back porch with its bayside breeze. Also, the Gem is dog-friendly and our 5 pound Chihuahua was the belle of the beach. We very much hope to return - but we'll have to act fast - the Gem is mostly full for next year!
Would return!
The Gem was exactly as advertised. An amazing little cottage in a great location! It was the perfect place for a long needed getaway for my wife and I. The deck with views of PTown and the chairs right on the beach to enjoy the amazing sunsets! The seemingly endless stretch of beach for long walks. There was no need to leave the cottage except for daily trips to Cape Tip or Mac’s Seafood for fresh fish. What an amazing find!
What a treasure this house is. Mariellen has taken such care and give it such character vs so many bland vacation homes. So many wonderful touches. As other reviews have said, much larger thank pictures. And that view! Just steps from the bay beach. My husband and little dog couldn’t get enough. Mariellen was a delight and in touch as much as we needed. Can not wait to get back!
The Gem is a lovely little cottage - beautifully and perfectly appointed with everything we could possibly need for a week away from home. Mariellen was responsive and thoughtful and her artist’s eye was apparent in all the creative and whimsical details. The Gem is situated just outside of Provincetown which we loved - the ideal mix of activity and quiet. The private beach and our own secluded seating area for coffee every morning and cocktails at sunset was a dream! In addition, the cottage was spotless and Mariellen was very committed to cleanliness and our comfort during the pandemic. We would absolutely stay here again!!!
As per the other reviews this fabulous property lives up to it’s name . We were fortunate to benefit from a cancellation . Everything was Spotless and well loved . No need to leave except to grab our daily lobster roll at Days market . Hoping to be fortunate enough to return someday !
