My family had a lovely week in Wellfleet. Jackie was available for questions, and made the stay very easy. Thanks!

Wonderful homey cottage in off main road woodsy locale. Fully adaptable for three generations of visitors with even a foosball set to promote high powered tournaments. Kitchen is well stocked, dining on deck, outdoor grill, lounging on rear private deck and glorious outdoor shower. And the location is key for access to ocean, fresh water ponds and other Cape special places. Great support and tips from owner, Jackie.

Jackie Clark was available and helpful.

The Foote Cottage was a perfect choice for my family. The property itself was well-maintained and spacious - with 2 beautiful terraces, a fully-stocked kitchen, comfortable living room space. The house definitely had a family feel vs a typical beach rental property. Jackie was a very communicative host who made check-in/check-out experience easy and seamless. She also made herself easily available of the course of the stay to answer any questions about the house or the area. Extra points for the location - a walking distance to the beach, bike trail as well as easy breakfast options. The town was a short drive from the house. Would definitely recommend this place for a group of up to 6 people, and hoping to return next summer.

Wonderful place. Very clean and well stocked to live in. Great location- two bakeries walkable for breakfast and lunch and walkable to the beach. Jackie was very good to work with. Loved the outdoor shower for after the beach, enjoyed the fire pit at night and kids loved the swings and hammock.

Jackie went above and beyond to help me before and during my stay. She is so kind and generous and runs this family homestead beautifully. It was a great place to stay to enjoy Wellfleet.

Great host, great home, great location. GREAT!

My husband and I absolutely loved this house. We felt at home with the cozy decor and nostalgic feel of the house. The outdoor shower is so wonderful to have. We also loved the location. We biked nearly every day to Lecount Beach just down the street. We also enjoyed biking to some of the Wellfleet ponds where parking can be difficult. The trails to the left of the house were so nice as well and the lookout was beautiful. We love the outer cape and especially Wellfleet. We try to visit every summer and hope to visit this house again next year. Our host was very kind and responsive with information. She checked in to ensure everything was good and always got back to us right away with any questions. Thank you for our very relaxing stay!

We were so lucky to stay in this super property and can’t wait to come again next year!

The cottage is clean and accommodations inviting for families. There are so many things to do with ease of accessibility to beaches, LeCount Hollow in walking distance, ponds, bike path, Cedar Swamp walking trails out the cottage door is a big plus. The cottage has plenty of space for families with 2 1/2 baths & an outdoor shower that rocks. The yard has a fire pit & the back deck looked out over a beautiful wooded landscape. You can watch the bunnies & even see deer . This is a quintessential Cape home with a-lot to offer!

Just what we needed on the Outer Cape. Thank you Jackie!!!

We stayed with one other couple and our friends rented a hotel. We got chased off the beach day one by torrential down pours. So we had our friends come back with us to play games. They had an ez up that we set up on porch we got to still be outside and play games and cards and visit with each other. Could not have done that is we stayed in a hotel. They are all on board to rent houses for next year instead of a hotel. It was so much fun, and the place was perfect!!

This well-appointed house offers lovely gathering spaces as well as private sleeping retreats so it is ideal for sharing. The wooded lot is quiet and private, and a 10 minute walk to the ocean.

Location could not be better. Walking distance to bakery and beach. Great walking/running/hiking trail to beach overlook. Large, inviting deck. Kitchen well stocked. Responsive host. Lovely stay.

We have done day trips to Welfleet but never stayed in the area. We were headed for a cramped hotel until Jacqueline was willing to rent to us for a long weekend. Here’s why this is a great Welfleet rental: 1. Helpful and gracious owner 2. Awesome location within a short walking distance to the beach, two amazing bakeries, the bike path (including rental shop) and a world-class French bistro. We enjoyed them all. 3. Wooded, peaceful setting but right off a major road. I consider it the best of both worlds. A shaded retreat from the sun without feeling buggy or isolated. (I’m not a big woodsy person). 4. Easy drive to Welfleet harbor with warm, bayside beaches and more fun restaurants. 5. Easy drive to the Welfleet drive-in, which is fun with or without kids. 6. If you prefer to eat in, the house is well-stocked and clean. It is just like the photos, with dated decor (so-to-speak) and personal memorabilia. But that’s what makes the home so charming. 7. Fire pit 8. Huge deck 9. Outdoor shower 10. Basement bedroom with separate entrance and bathroom. Great for my teens. Loved it. Cannot wait to go back.

Rented this property through homeaway.com. Process was quick & easy. The owner was very helpful & responsive. The process was well organized & communication was very good. The property is lovely & location delightful. Privacy, this home tucked into the woods with Cedar Swamp trail walking path to Marconi site. Beautiful Wellfleet beach a 10 minute walk. Quick access to ponds. Most of all a very comfortable, clean home.

We had a great stay at Footerest and Jackie was a very nice host and organized host. The house is located in the woods off of a dirt road. There is one house across the road but otherwise very secluded. We ended up not buying a beach parking permit as we wanted to explore dofferent areas outside of Wellfleet. That being said we ended up going to Lecount beach 3 of the 5 days and 1 of the other days we went to Beachcomber so the parking pass would have made sense. Lecount beach is very nice and less crowed but a parking pass is required(available at town harbor). When we went to Lecount I would drive down to the beach to drop of people and gear, then drive back to the house, then make the 10 minutes walk back to the beach. Very convenient location. PB bakery line was very long every day so we never ended up trying it but Chocolate Bakery was very good. Liquor store down the street was great. Blackfish and Wicked Oyster were both great dinners and easy reservations. The house was very well stocked with cooking accessories, gas for the grill, plastic baggies, spices, oil, paper towels and starter toilet paper. Washer and dryer worked well. Also a clothes line in the back for drying items not dryer safe. Beach toys and chairs in the basement. Some of these items are not listed on the VBRO listing so I cannot say if they are always available. Check with Jackie if you are questioning anything. She was very responsive and helpful. Overall 5 stars. Thanks for renting your family home to us Jackie.

Great place to stay ....

5-yr old got to ride his bike. Saw turkeys, chipmunks, a lot of birds. Horses and chickens from the house way up the hill (not in site). Owners very nice.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the Foote Rest Cottage. I have rented many vacation properties in the past but I definitely felt like I was in a "home." I enjoyed reading about the Foote Family and seeing the old photos of the early years from the l940s and the other family memorabilia. Our sons are 25, 22, and 15 and it is not always easy to find something for everyone. The location was fantastic. There is a dirt path that leads to the Marconi site, which overlooks the ocean. Great for watching for seals. And just a 10 minute walk to a great beach so you don't have to drive, unless you have small children. The Cape Cod Rail Trail is just down the road. I enjoyed several lovely bike rides. I loved the fact that this home is tucked away in the woods. It's nice to be able to be outside but out of the sun unlike other beach houses. The location is very quiet at night. A great deck where we enjoyed our meals. I actually preferred not eating out because the deck was so enjoyable. Why pay money to wait in line in a noisy restaurant and not be able to enjoy the outdoors? The outdoor shower was a such a treat and surrounded by woods. The house is very well maintained. Very clean. The town of Wellfleet is charming. The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary is a short drive down route 6 and a must if you enjoy nature. Lovely walks, great views, lots of things for kids to see and touch. This is the second time we have stayed in Wellfleet and I would not even consider looking at another house. I hope we will make this a new tradition.

I have stayed at the Foote Rest almost every year of my life. As I grew older I came to appreciate the location of this quaint little house in the woods. I love the outdoors, quiet and solitude. This is the perfect place to get away with your family. You can spend a week here without getting into your car if you want. Some of my favorite activities while at the Foote Rest include: playing cards with my family, reading on the deck or in the hammock, picking blueberries (they grow behind the house), utilizing the outdoor shower, cooking a tasty dinner with my family, walking to the general store or to the beach to swim and bodysurf in the water, running on the White Cedar Swamp Trail and to the Marconi Site, biking into town (you can avoid Rte 6 all-together), and riding my bike along the rail trail or to the ponds. There are sunfish rentals at Gull Pond, the water is generally warmer than the Atlantic, and the sand is nice and soft. When you find youself this far out on the Cape, you will realize that much of what the Cape has been for the past 100 years is still preserved. It is unusual to find such natural beauty protected on the East Coast nowadays. This is a place where you can take a deep breath, relax, and reconnect with yourself or your family, or just forget about the world. It makes an impression on your heart you will never forget.
