Sea Gull Motel

Great little motel we have been going to for years. Hasn’t changed much since it was built, probably in the 50’s but has been kept up to date and is clean. It is a quick walk from the motel to the beach down a board walk. There are chairs there and it is a great place to watch the sunset or to sit at night and enjoy the view of the Provincetown tower and city lights across the harbor. At low tide, you can walk way out. It is nice for kids because there are lots of shells, and exploring and no big waves since its on the bay side. The manager is friendly and a fisherman so if you need any tips, talk to him. The location is great, minutes from national seashore beaches, great restaurants in P-​Town withing having to stay in P-​Town. Our room had nice air conditioning, refrigerator and cable with a lot of channels. You might find cheaper in the area, but not with water access.

Making a reservation over the phone was like ordering from a Chinese restaurant. Neither of us had any idea what the other was saying.
Apparently what she was saying was that we’d need to switch rooms every night because they didn’t have availability for consecutive nights in a row for the same room.
With that said. The service upon arrival was great and they’re very helpful when it comes to finding places in the area.
As for the hotel — it’s pretty beaten up. This is a nice cheap (ish) hotel that is much better suited for families than couples and here’s why.
There’s a rocky private beach, but the seaweed infested water is so shallow you can walk out half a mile an still not even be up to your hips. There are also boats in the water (which you’ll wall right past trying to find a depth swimmable). There are sand bars on both sides of the beach that you can walk out onto for a pretty long while out into the ocean.
So this is great for little kids because you don’t have to worry about how far out they go since it’s so shallow, but if you’re an adult wanting to swim you’ll have to go to a real beach.
If you’re also a couple looking for some private «you know» time, don’t count on it. The walls are paper thin and half the windows are broken open. And there’s always kids outside your door or in the courtyard (if you’re out back anyway).
Another thing (about this area in general) is that you better like P-​town because it’s the only place with food and places to shop. We wandered all around and always ended back up in p-​town even to just get a coffee. Parking and driving in ptown isn’t fun and is really meant to stop and spend a whole day there, so you can see how this can get annoying.
Overall, the private beach was nice for the purpose of sunbathing and the rooms were clean. If I was coming back I’d probably stay in ptown for the convenience since that’s all there is to do anyway and it’s only 5 mins away.
Oh and bring your own shampoo because they only give you hand soap.

This is a no-​frills place right on the beach, 5 minutes outside of Ptown. It’s on the older side & the furnishing reflect that, but it’s kept SPARKLING clean & that’s what I care about! We had a very nice stay for 3 days in late June, really enjoyed the location & the fact that it had it’s own beach just outside the back door. A small courtyard with grills was a very nice touch. I booked my stay with the owners who were VERY nice on the phone & obviously take a lot of pride in keep their establishment clean and cared for, although the young lady who we dealt with onsite had a bit of a ‘tude several times so I’m knocking off a star. This place is a solid value & for the area (6A in lovely North Truro) it’s pretty unbeatable

This is a hidden gem on the Cape! It is situated right on the beach in North Truro and has its own boardwalk to a very secluded, quiet, private beach! It is right on the Truto/​Provincetown line and is about 10 minutes to Commercial Street/​P-​Town center. The rooms are very good size with older furnishings, but large beds, a refrigerator and TV/​Cable and plenty of air conditioning and hot water. We paid a very low rate of $ 65 mid June and the rates cap out at $ 120 peak season which is still very good for this area seeing you go into P-​Town and pay over $ 200. I would definetly come back. The family that owns this place was very nice and accomodating. It is very quiet and a nice place to stay! Trust me, I have stayed many places and even some of the pricey high class places didn’t offer much. This place is no frills and no snobbiness.
