About this house rental
A two-story wall of glass provides lovely water views and divides the great room of this well-appointed Contemporary Cape from its 25 foot deck. Nestled against a hill of pines and surrounded by meticulously kept perennial gardens, this home is the definition of peace and tranquility. The warm bay-side beach is steps away, as is a launch for your boat or kayak. The ocean cliffs are five minutes by bike. And the lovely village of Wellfleet, chock-full of galleries and restaurants, is five minutes by car. Stay home to cook; the kitchen is fully equipped and the gas grill is excellent. Take a nap, the beds are incredibly comfortable and the hammock is in the shade. Light a fire if the night is cool, and take a whirlpool bath. Watch the ever-changing light as the sun sets, then gaze at the stars in the crystal clear sky.

Our host provided exceptional service and many thoughtful details to make our stay go smoothly and enjoyably. The house is well appointed and in a great location, very peaceful with natural beauty surrounding the premises and wonderful views. All the amenities worked well and met all our needs as a group. The beds are comfortable and in good shape—noted since some Cape rentals have issues with subpar bedding. The kitchen, living room, and porch areas were great. Highly recommended!

We have stayed on the Cape many times but never in this area. It is our new favorite place.
This home was located perfectly and met all our needs.
The owners were very hospitable and accommodating and it was a lovely week. You know it’s perfect when the 9 year old boy cries because he wanted to stay and find more hermit crabs and go back to Marconi beach.
Thanks so much!

We had the most relaxing stay at this well appointed home. Our hosts were most gracious, accommodating to our needs and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The amenities available were plentiful including a complimentary bottle of wine upon our arrival, kitchen staples, fab view of the bay, and comfortable deck and furniture gave us many days of rest, fun, and some home cooked meals amidst our hikes, swims, art, and music activities.

This is a lovely home in our favorite Wellfleet neighborhood and we enjoyed a wonderful stay. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked, the furnishings are very comfortable, the gardens are beautiful, and the view of the bay is picture perfect. Dan worked diligently to resolve a plumbing issue that arose just before we arrived and all communications were prompt and thorough. We hope to stay here again on our next visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this Wellfleet house. The house is located in the lovely quiet neighborhood, short drive to the downtown and beaches, very convenient. Loved the view of Drummer’s Cove from the deck. Dan is a great host, was willing to answer any questions about the property, even though I didn’t really have much. I would definitely recommend to stay here!

Fantastic house, great location, absolutely lovely host. The wine and cheese on arrival was so welcoming after a long drive. The kitchen was better stocked than any rental I’ve ever been in. The living spaces were very comfortable, the outdoor spaces were lovely, tons of seating. Wish we could have stayed twice as long!!

The property is well located for all lower Cape attractions, including Ocean, Bay, and pond beaches. Quiet, wooded neighborhood. House very well furnished, especially the large kitchen and deck. Owner very friendly, informative, and responsive. Perfect for my immediate family and for entertaining a larger family group.

A charming home that we would love to stay in again—with other adults, or kids old enough to explore without constant supervision. Without asking more questions about accessibility, we brought a seventeen month old who acted his age, particularly when he discovered the microwave at his level! The kitchen is so generously stocked that I would have loved to have cooked in every nite. Instead, we took advantage of local restaurants. Another grandchild is due this summer so we won’t be able to opt for our Wellfleet house anytime soon. Feeling a little wistful.

Our second stay, this delightful. property is attentively managed by Joe and Dan and offers a lovely off-the-planet place to relax while only being steps from the tidal footpaths, small beaches and delightful kayaking of Blackfish Creek.

Amazing week in Wellfleet
We have been renting on Cape for over 25 years and this home was the nicest by far. Beautifully appointed, new state of art kitchen and comfortable bedrooms, tons of light and great location. Lived the neighborhood on bayside. Not a swimming beach but miles of trails along water and in nature preserve just a few minutes walk from house. Also easy to pop into town just a few minutes away. Beautiful view off deck. We were all very sad to leave. Thanks Dan & Joe! Your home was lovely. Can’t wait to return to Wellfleet!

Delightful Stay
A lovely property, comfortable, great light, comprehensively fitted out and an 'off the planet' yet convenient location. Would happily return.

Great property within minutes of several ocean coast beaches.
Nice quiet neighborhood with great amenities. Close to Drummers Cove for late evening walks. Within five minute drive of ocean coast beaches which require beach sticker or daily pass. Wellfleet is loaded with restaurants. Recommend Mac's for lunch. Dan (property caretaker) was very helpful and knowledgeable of area. Would recommend for family vacations upto six. If booking during peak summer, be prepared for traffic but Wellfleet is easy to get around. Recommend day trip to Provincetown. Well worth it.

Cape cod
Minus a few hiccups, the house was as described. Over all a very nice space for a small group. The view off the deck was one of the highlights. Joseph the owner was especially helpful before and during our stay and was always very communicative if I ever had any questions.

Great location, great house, great view of the water from the deck.
We had a great holiday as the accommodations in the house were great. The layout of one bedroom upstairs with a sitting room outside was great and two bedrooms on the first floor. Great deck and view of the water. Loved the outdoor shower and the remodeled kitchen. Top notch!

We love this house
My husband, two kids, and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. With high ceilings, lots of light, and a gorgeous kitchen, I just wanted to stay and host dinner parties. The photos do not do this place justice. The owner was very responsive to our needs. We would definitely choose this house again in the future.

Wonderful find on Bay side
Comfortable, relaxing home on charming street. Thoughtfully furnished and stocked. Big windows and nice light in the kitchen/living/dining areas. Updated large kitchen, great for cooks! Spacious master suite. Steps from easy walking trail that runs partially along the water. Logistics and communication with owner were easy throughout. We hope to return.

Hidden Gem
We were fortunate to vacation at this property for a month and it as great!. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped (even had tons of spices!) and was even better than we expected. We love to cook and the Bosch double ovens and the gas range made our meal preparation a joy. We made many wonderful meals for our local friends (who all loved the house too!) in the kitchen, The living/dining room, kitchen and bar area with built-ins made it great for entertaining or a nice quiet romantic evening at home. The home was equipped with many mainstay staples (paper towels, toilet paper, kleenex, trash bags, dishwasher soap and cleaning supplies and the central vacuum was great for cleaning up. We brought our own supplies but the owners were so thoughtful in keeping it well stocked for emergencies.
The two of us stayed in the upstairs bedroom which is very large, comfortable and has a sitting room adjacent with a smart TV. The upstairs bath was roomy and had a laundry closet in it was was convenient for doing the occasional loan of wash since we were there for the month. The other bath and downstairs bedrooms were very nice and roomy.
The grounds are full of flowers and flowering shrubs and trees of all kinds,which constantly put our new flowers every few days. The owner helpful and quickly got back to me on my one question on the vacuum operation even though he was in France on vacation! We highly recommend the property and hope to go back again soon!

Handsome house fitted out nicely with modern conveniences
Our kids occupied this house while we rented a small cottage across the street. This house was nicely appointed and clean as a whistle. They loved the house and would happily rent it again.

Nice house and location
We've stayed in the Drummer Cover area numerous times--it's a pretty spot and great location. We lock up our kayaks at the end of Paine Hollow Road (an easy walk from the house) for exploring the marshes at high tide. LeCount Beach on the ocean side is a quick bike ride from the house, so you don't need to worry about parking, permits, etc. It's also easy to get to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. You'll have to bike down Route 6 a little ways (less than a mile) to get to the trail head, but the shoulder is wide. The house is spacious and comfortable with a brand new kitchen. I can see how the house could get warm on hot summer days (as other reviewers have noted), but we didn't have any issues during our stay thanks to cooler-than-usual August nights. We love the porch that wraps around the house, and we used the outdoor shower multiple times. The owner was remarkably speedy and responsive when the water heater failed during our stay--a repairman arrived within an hour of my phone call to the owner. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely home in a great location!
We were very happy with the size of the home for our family of five. Everyone had room to roam inside, and on the large deck. The kitchen is amazing -- all new and top notch appliances and equipment made cooking enjoyable! We chose to drive the short distance to (free) Mayo Beach rather than hang out at the little inlet just down the road-- no need to buy a beach sticker. Overall, a great location, and beautiful house -- we will return :)

Charming Cottage in South Wellfleet
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property in South Wellfleet. The grounds and gardens were vibrant and well maintained and the spacious large outdoor deck offered a great space for early morning and late evening moments of relaxation. The interior was nicely furnished with all the amenities of home, including a state of the art kitchen were we enjoyed preparing our own local dishes. The cottage remained very cool and comfortable despite the lack of air conditioning. The cottage was located on a very quite street and contained a large driveway for easy access to the front entry way. The property was just minutes way from Wellfleet and walking distance to the local beach that was great for kids. The cottage is a gem that is perfectly located in the heart of South Wellfleet!

Nice space and property!
The layout was perfect for us. Clean with great views. No tv on the main floor was not an issue for us as there was good wifi. New kitchen was nice but not really used much. The outdoor grill has certainly seen better days and should be replaced.
Bathrooms are adequate but could use an update. I had a minor issue which the owner offered to remedy quickly. Seemly like a nice honest guys hat has done this for a long time , which is great.
We love wellfleet and this was close to the things we like to do. Close to the bird sanctuary so we had some colorful ones visit us in the early morning.

lovely house
Overall, it's a terrific house in a great location. Clearly, the owners spend a good deal of time there -- i.e., it's extremely well-equipped and well-maintained. The house is fairly spacious, tastefully decorated, quiet, and bright, with windows on all sides. The beds are comfortable, the water pressure is fine, and everything's in working order. The only reason we give it 4, not 5, stars is that it can get uncomfortably warm in the house during the day (in mid-August, at least). A lot of houses on the Cape get by without A/C, but this one doesn't get a lot of cross breeze. (The owners might consider investing in a window unit for the living/dining area -- the bedrooms are fine as is.) Still, we recommend the place highly and will consider renting it again.

A great time in late June
My wife and I and two young kids (8 and 6) had a wonderful time in this house. There was plenty of room and we could walk or ride our bikes to a little bay beach. It was an easy car ride to the ocean or bay beaches and the kettle ponds. It was out first time in Wellfleet and this was a great base from which to explore. There's a lot to do - a week wasn't enough to get everything done we wanted to. The house was clean and well furnished. The beds were comfortable! The TV is upstairs on the balcony, but as far as I was concerned, that was great. Remember to bring your lease in order to get a parking pass - we forgot ours but the town was nice enough to let us have a pass anyway.

Beautiful rental house
My family and I were pleasantly surprised to find this home exactly as described. It was close enough to the beaches/ponds/center to be accessible to everything, and yet far enough away to get out of the hustle of the tourist crowds. The house was perfect, with a great deck, hammock, and a view to capture a beautiful sunrise each morning.
I would recommend this house to anyone (as long as there is still an open week for us to rent it again next summer!).
