Every year, Provincetown, MA, located at the tip of Cape Cod attracts thousands of gay, lesbian and straight travelers from around the world. World-famous for it's endless miles of Cape Cod beaches, sand dunes, quaint inns, beech forest trails and cycle paths. No matter what time of year, Provincetown always has something special to offer: theatre and cabaret events, concerts, galleries, art exhibitions, bars and nightclubs, and more.

The Carpe Diem Guesthouse, conveniently nestled among all the town's attractions, is one of Provincetown's most distinctive inns. We are a classic Provincetown inn dedicated to the "dead poets", many of whom have been inspired by the spirit of magical places like our little sandbar. Since 1997, we have strived to provide luxurious, elegant accommodations and bring our guests a bit closer to soul of Provincetown.

Every room in our inn has been named after a renowned poet, such as the Oscar Wilde Room. The Oscar Wilde Room has windows on three sides that fill it with sunlight, and allow for wonderful summer cross-breezes. In the warmer seasons, the windows are draped in leafy wisteria, and there is a perfect view of Provincetown’s Pilgrim Monument. Larger than our inn’s standard rooms, the Oscar Wilde Room features a vaulted ceiling and semi-private balcony.
