There’s nothing like a beach vacation – the beauty of the sea and the salt air – there’s simply nothing better. One of the best beach vacation destinations in America is the New England beach town of Provincetown. With a rich history, gorgeous landscape and a vibrant nightlife, it’s simply divine. That’s why we decided to compile a list of the best Provincetown Airbnb rental homes.

When to Book an Airbnb in Provincetown
There’s no bad time to visit Provincetown – we should establish that right away. As a New England beach destination, no one needs to explain that the crowd sizes and available activities varies drastically based on the season. That also applies to prices for hotels and Airbnbs in Provincetown which ebb and flow along with demand.
Springtime weekends with warm weather are terrific in Provincetown. You can beat the summer crowds, but still get some sun and enjoy the beginning of the season.
The busiest and most expensive season is Memorial Day through Labor Day. That’s when you can expect Airbnb’s dynamic pricing to swing higher due to demand and many hosts only accept weekly rentals. The town is packed during the summer months, but you’ll still save by booking a Provincetown Airbnb over a hotel. This is especially when you’re vacationing as a group.
In the autumn, Provincetown is lovely and less crowded. Some people prefer the crowds, but it’s a great time to slip away for a romantic off-season getaway. Some seasonal businesses close at the summer’s end but there’s no shortage of places to go and things to do in the fall.
You’ll also find better prices for Airbnbs in Provincetown after the summer season. One exception for all of this is Halloween, when many travelers flow back into town to celebrate the event!
The winter months are even more peaceful in Provincetown, but if you want a beautiful backdrop without the party scene – it’s a great time to visit. Many regular visitors head back to P Town for New Years Eve and there are small pockets of visitors throughout the rest of the winter months.

These 10 Provincetown Airbnb rentals offer a great value and cover a range of amenities and budgets for any travel experience. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, a friend group or a combination – there’s a perfect Airbnb Provincetown accommodation for you.

The place was very cute (especially the third bedroom), and it was immaculately clean. The house is within walking distance to all the restaurants on the East End, and there’s a great market for quick groceries, beer/wine, and food right across the street. Finally, the parking space that came with the house was a life saver! Overall, I highly recommend Dan’s place if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay for your weekend in Ptown.”

Ready to Book an Airbnb in Provincetown?
If you’re still reading at this point, I assume you’re ready to book a Provincetown vacation home. Keep in mind a few tips:
- We did our best to give you prices that were available now – however many properties have dynamic pricing throughout the year and additional fees. Keep that in mind and check their final charges on Airbnb.
- Some properties require you and your group to supply your own towels, toiletries and bedding. Make sure to read listings fully before you book and take that into account when you book. Maybe a $100 linen fee divided 6 ways is worth the convenience for your family or group of friends.
- Check-in and check-out is sometimes remote for these properties. Be sure to ask questions of the owner in advance.
- Consider parking as you plan your trip, finding parking during the summer can be difficult or pricey (especially with ticketing).
