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! ##### Jake D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob S.

Private, very clean and well kept, great utilization of space, the views of the ocean are unbelievable and to top it off the owner is extremely pleasant! I would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone who wants to get away from it all but still have the convenience of going into "Town" with a short bike ride. Can't get any better than this place! It will be tough to beat for the next planned vacation! ##### YWwjxws2mGvIVum6FnEyX+RcMX9I1ZwfACYYlwOJvTN/ceELn8jigExxIV2Xgg8neMBlpcf/1Pl/WQT+oWgNG0Sq+R98W0K1OclJ Y. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna D. Jul 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Donna D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John F.

Sep 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Nancy Jane M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine B.

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.

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.

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!!! ##### Meredith L.

Mariellen is a very gracious and friendly landlord and goes out of her way to accommodate her guests. The cottage is always extremely clean and very well maintained. We love staying there an look forward to our next visit. ##### Thomas & Carolyn M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh F. Sep 17, 2018 #### I'd buy this house in a minute What a great place to spend a quiet vacation. If you want to sit on the beach and read, look at the sea creatures in the water or relax in the cottage, I can't think of a better place to do it. I love this place because the beach is private, no hordes of sunbathers, and clean. You can watch the sun rise and see the most beautiful sunsets over Provincetown. It is an easy 5 minute drive to Provincetown if you want some more activity - shopping, whale watching, art galleries and plenty of restaurants to choose from. The cottage is perfect for one or two people and everything you need is included - even beach towels. Mariellen has thought of everything and is so nice. This is my 10th year and I've already signed up for next year. You won't be sorry if you rent The Gem. ##### Leigh F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen D. Aug 27, 2018 #### A Most Special Place This was our 3rd stay at The Gem and every day at this cottage is a true treasure. As each year passes it becomes clearer how the beauty of the outer cape is so fragile and we must enjoy and protect it while we can. The fact that The Gem gives you a private beach and is quiet while close to great dining and excitement/shops as you so choose is very special. Mariellen keeps this cottage spotless, well-equipped and comfortable. A great way to experience the best of the Cape. ##### Karen D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise S. Jul 11, 2018 #### The Gem lives up to its name We have been renting the Gem for years. When we walk in we breathe a huge sigh of relief or Shall I say relax..Everything detail is thought of ..really don’t need your car because the bus is outside your door.. it’s a special spot believe me... ##### Denise S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane D. Jun 21, 2018 #### Cape Cod Dream! The Gem is an exceptional property with everything you could ever need or imagine needing for the picture-perfect Cape Cod escape. Mariellen is a highly attentive owner who takes in pride in the property, something that is clearly evident from the moment you roll up the crushed shell driveway. A glorious perennial garden greets you framed by rosa rugosa and vintage beach plum. Inside the The Gem is tidy and efficient featuring incredible views of Cape Cod Bay. Once you stay here, nothing else will ever compare. The Cape Cod of stories and songs lives here on Beachpoint at The Gem! ##### Diane D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane D. Jun 20, 2018 #### Livin' the Cape Cod Dream It's no easy trick to find a place to live out a piece of your dream, but THE GEM fills the bill for me. This precious cottage by the bay is a wedge of heaven on earth for anyone who loves Cape Cod. Neat, tidy and perfectly sited with all of the wonderful features you could ever want to live out perfect Cape Cod days. A colorful perennial garden greets you with an abundance of lavender, mint, rosa rugosa and more. Plenty of clever nooks, hooks and places to stow your gear without fuss. It doesn't get any finer on Cape Cod. Come see for yourself, if you can! ##### Diane D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine D. Jun 7, 2018 #### A true Gem! This cottage was much more than we expected! We loved the cottage and location so much that we just wanted to stay there rather than venture into town and do things. On top of this place being amazing, Mariellen went above and beyond for our arrival. This was a trip to celebrate my 40th birthday and my wife had coordinated with Mariellen for the cottage to be decorated with decorations she mailed her. The pictures simply don't do it's justice. ##### Christine D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W. Nov 8, 2017 #### Perfect in every way! The Gem was a perfect place to stay on our long weekend on the cape. The beach, the cozy cottage, the views, the beautiful artwork by Mariellen Serena, all made for a wonderful few days. Can’t wait to come back. ##### Lisa W.
