We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Excellent location, very peaceful and quiet area, but not too far from the center of town. Clean, spacious rooms, well-appointed kitchen and linens. Very comfortable, with charming & unique decor. Would definitely stay here again.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the quiet comfort of the space—and thrilled that the “Ptown Magic” mirror (among other details throughout the home) made an impression. Your thoughtful and warm reflections truly mean a lot to us. You were communicative, respectful guests who treated the place with great care, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
Wonderful stay at the Pearl! Lovely condo, just as described, both stylish and immensely comfortable. Brian & Jay were excellent hosts, very communicative, responsive and helpful. We had a lovely stay, and it is such a great neighborhood - quiet yet close to everything. Would absolutely stay here again!

New, bright and well appointed, this home was perfect for our week stay. Minutes to Commercial but tucked in a quiet neighborhood.

Thank you for the kind review, Ryan. We’re so glad the house was a perfect fit for your stay. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the light, quiet setting, the easy access to Commercial, and the Ptown neighborhood charm. You were wonderful guests, and we’d be glad to welcome you back to Pearl in the future.
We booked a week stay somewhat last minute - and it was so worth it! Great location, quiet, and super cute. Everything felt new and clean. The outdoor porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Parking was a huge plus. Attentive owners and very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Thank you, Bryan! We’re so glad your getaway worked out and that you enjoyed the porch, quiet location, and all the little touches at Ptown Pearl. You're welcome back anytime!
We had such a fun and relaxing weekend in Provincetown! The home was absolutely beautiful — super clean, stylish, and clearly well cared for. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made it easy to cook and enjoy meals together. We especially loved the view of the monument from the house — such a unique touch — and the location was perfect: a short walk to Commercial Street, but far enough away to feel peaceful and private. We’d love to come back and stay again. Highly recommend!

Rebecca, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re thrilled your weekend at the Pearl was both fun and relaxing, and that the clean, cozy setup made it easy to cook, share meals, and unwind together. We also loved the photo of your pup enjoying the space—pets are part of the family, and it makes us so happy to welcome them here. The Monument view is one of our favorite touches too, and we’re glad it stood out to you. You were perfect guests: communicative, considerate, and a joy to host. We’d be delighted to welcome you (and your furbaby!) back to Pearl anytime.
Beautiful property! Well maintained. Owner extremely responsive. Owner answered many questions from me leading up to our visit so that we packed only what we needed personally. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, serving dishes as well as plates, glasses etc. Fully stocked with all cleaning products needed for kitchen, bath and laundry. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. Loved sitting on the front porch in the morning. Location was awesome for us. Close enough that we could walk to the center of town in 5 minutes yet far enough away from Commercial that sleeping hours were quiet. Loved having a washer and dryer! Property was clean.

We’re so glad the kitchen setup, front porch, and peaceful location helped make your stay smooth and enjoyable (including the record player ;). That nighttime photo you shared of the Pilgrim Monument glowing above the rooftops is one of our favorite views from the back deck too—so glad it caught your eye! You asked all the right questions ahead of time, and it was a pleasure helping you prep for your visit.
You were excellent guests: communicative, considerate, and left everything spotless. We'd be thrilled to welcome you back to Pearl anytime!
About the host
Your host
Meet Your Hosts: Brian + Jay Hi! We’re Brian and Jay—husbands, dog dads, and longtime lovers of Provincetown. We live in the Castro, San Francisco, but part of our hearts are always in Ptown. In fact, it’s where we first met during a stormy Spooky Bear weekend, and where we recently got married at the monument in a celebration we called Provincetown Magic.
Jay is a designer and brand strategist who’s worked on everything from the Harvard Law School rebrand to creative campaigns for climate, health, and LGBTQ+ organizations. He also led the rebrand of the Provincetown Business Guild and created the town’s Welltown tourism campaign—a project especially close to our hearts.
Brian works in biotech, leading external affairs at Genentech, and serves as Finance Chair on the board of the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute. He’s a passionate advocate for representation in government, helping elect LGBTQ+ leaders at all levels of office—because continually, our community deserves to be seen, heard, and valued.
We're both deeply committed to community, equity, and creating joyful, welcoming spaces.
When we found our little place in Provincetown, we knew it was something special—a peaceful, historic gem just steps from the best of town. We’re excited to share it with guests who want to experience all that Provincetown has to offer, whether it’s your first visit or your 50th.
We hope you feel at home here. If there's anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable—or magical—just let us know.
Why they chose this property
Of course, the location is ideal—walkable to the beach, town, and our favorite cafés, galleries, and shops. But despite the obvious, what truly spoke to us is the rich artistic legacy threaded through Pearl Street itself.
This quiet stretch of Provincetown has long been a creative hub. Just up the road is the former site of Charles Hawthorne’s Cape Cod School of Art, a pioneering force in American plein air painting that helped establish Provincetown as an artist’s colony. Just down the block is the Fine Arts Work Center (FAWC), a nonprofit supporting emerging writers and visual artists since 1968. The creative energy here is alive—you’re surrounded by working artists, poets, and those who come to Provincetown to make something meaningful.
For us, this neighborhood is more than just beautiful—it’s quietly vibrant. A place where art, identity, and history intersect. As creative beings ourselves, it felt like the perfect place to land. To belong. To share.
What makes this property unique
There are plenty of beautiful places to stay in Provincetown—but ours has a sense of character and care that’s hard to come by.
Set in an 1850s Victorian-era Cape Cod home, the space blends historic charm with modern comfort. You’ll notice original details throughout—from the handcrafted brass doorbell that’s been ringing for over 170 years, to the French doors that open into the bedroom. These period touches are paired with thoughtful updates: a fully renovated kitchen and bath, AC throughout the house, new furnishings, and all the modern essentials.
But what makes it truly special is the personal history we’ve layered in. This isn’t just a vacation rental—it’s where we began our life as a married couple. You’ll find pieces of that celebration throughout the space, from the mirror we used in our ceremony to the glowing “Seaside Disco” sign that lit up the dance floor. Every detail was chosen to make it feel welcoming, joyful, and quietly elevated.
It’s a home that holds stories—and we hope it becomes part of yours, too.
