About this property

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 and a gas grill, and a private hot and cold outdoor shower.
Also included is off street parking, 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 bike, 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. There is also contactless arrival.

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 on the beach.

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.

The Gem is a gem!

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!

Beautiful "Gem" with Wonderful Curation and Beach access

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!

The Gem is Aptly Named

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.

Hidden Treasure!

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!

Practically perfect in every way - cozy, comfortable, beautiful on beach..

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!
