About this property

Picturesque Private Beachfront House on Cape Cod Bay

If you can imagine the perfect family summer vacation at the sea, you can find it at our bay-side Cape Cod cottage! The 1950's style house is located on a high bluff in East Brewster overlooking the Cape Cod Bay. The views are unbelievable; the vista is constantly changing along with the colors of the water and the clouds. You can watch a storm roll in and experience a rainbow.

We are located in East Brewster, known for the lowest tides on Cape Cod - at low tide, the water retreats for a mile and a half! You can go for a bracing early morning swim, or wait till the tide is high at night when the water is warmer than the air, and it's just you floating under the stars. At low tide you can explore the 'flats' and the creatures that live on and under them: razor clams, quahogs, hermit crabs, sand crabs, snails, minnows, and horseshoe crabs. Families play frisbee, volleyball and wiffle ball on the flats and the bay is ideal for swimming, sailing or water-skiing.

The house itself has been maintained and loved by the same family for 50 years. Although it sleeps up to 11, it has a warm and cosy feeling. You can safely walk or ride your bike to any number of restaurants, coffee shops and stores. You may choose to spend your whole time at 35 Dune Road (you'll find once you're there, you don't want to leave) or you’ll have the whole of Cape Cod to explore!

Third stay- always enjoyable.

We love the true cottage feel of this property! Nice sand to swim in and of course for walking out on the flats. Beds are comfortable, cottages clean!

Terrific view and location

Loved the location, the view, the beach and the town. We’ve been to the Cape a lot, not Brewster, but really liked the town. Will be heading back to Brewster and this house, hopefully repeatedly.

Great Stay

Very much as advertised. We came the week leading up to Memorial Day weekend and pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Views are great. Home has a warm, camp-like feel. In a good way. The neighborhood is great and Brewster is a great town. Would return for sure.

Beautiful, calm retreat on the Cape!

You get a vibe from a rental house, and this one was that of relaxation and a beautiful view over Cape Cod Bay! You can't escape the view, whether in the kitchen, living room, master bedroom, or even the bathrooms. Relaxation, great view and steps away from the Bay, all as advertised. The rules were brief and clear, the owner was responsive. All good!

Splendid ocean view home

This oceanfront four bedroom home met all our needs in comfort, space, cleanliness, amenities and location. The home sets high on a sand dune overlooking the beach and ocean, providing the experiences of breathing in the wonderful smells of the ocean breeze while watching a sunset and the rise and ebb of the ocean tides… or hearing the lapping of ocean waves meet the shore before sleep and after just waking up. Not to mention walking down the steps to this beautiful beach below, to further walk the sand flats that are exposed while the tide is ebbing, observing creatures left behind ie. hermit crabs, various types of clams and sea shells etc. The owner was always very responsive and helpful to any questions I had or requests made. I would highly recommend this rental property.

Perfect vacation!

My family and I loved this house snd location! Could not ask for a better location. We had a view of the ocean from every room. My son, who’s 7, loved exploring all the tide pools at low tide, and the water was warm enough to swim at high tide, but still shallow enough my little swimmer was safe. We found so many crabs, horseshoe crabs, and was able to use the net and beach toys provided to catch and release some. There are ticks in the grass, but ticks are really high this year everywhere. Owner provided bug spray, and thankfully aloe. Easy rules to follow, and great instruction provided. I would love to return!

A quiet getaway

If you want a private beach , and I mean private then this is the place. Literally nobody shares the property and access to your private beach on Cape Cod Bay in Brewster . Million dollar view ! The owner is awesome and very helpful with any questions you might have about the area and property. Our 3rd time staying there ! I just love the privacy !

Amazing views from all north-facing windows

The house was built in 1955, so the interiors reflect that era of building style and show their age. But it is located 70 steps above Cape Cod Bay, which was our highest priority, and we loved watching the tide come in and out, as well as exploring the beach and flats. We had ample room for our group of 7. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and glassware for eating in. We loved the experience of staying on and exploring Cape Cod, and this was the perfect home base for us!

A wonderful family weekend with grown daughters and their husbands. Enjoyed fun family dinners on the deck and evenings together in the open family room. The host, Thaddeus was quick to respond to questions and extremely helpful with information. The view is amazing!! So enjoyed the view and walks on the beach right in front of the house.

We had a wonderful week at this great home on Cape Cod Bay. All was exactly as described in the listing and check in was super easy. Everything was clean and ready for us to enjoy the week. The views are truly spectacular and we really enjoyed the peaceful private beach and beautiful sunsets. Convenient location to shopping, restaurants and other Cape towns.

Perfect Cape trip

We had the most amazing time at this beautiful Cape house. The location is everything. We essentially never left the property and that was perfect with 2 small children. Being able to explore the Brewster flats was such a treat. The house itself was lovely, with comfortable beds and the kitchen had every pot/pan/cooking spoon we needed. I can’t recommend this spot more highly.

Amazing cozy get away!

Our stay at the Woolrych House was amazing! The house was clean and cozy and the owner was awesoem and he was available to answer any questions we had about the property/the area. The views of sunset over the bay were breathtaking! When the tide goes out it goes out for a mile and half, leaving behind small pools of warm water to swim and explore. The kids had a great time collecting critters (hermit crabs etc). Our family had an awesome time and we will absolutely be back next year!

Amazing week!

This house is a great find! Quiet street& the views of the ocean are just incredible! The steps to the beach were easier than anticipated, my mom has knee problems and she did really well! The beach is incredible and if you love exploring a beach during low tides and love sand bars this beach is for you! The house itself had plenty of furniture& bedrooms were perfect for us! We would absolutely stay again! Our only problem was there was no key in the lockbox for us to get in when we go there, but I called Thaddeus who responded immediately and his dad came over to let us in and give us his key for the week, he was very kind. We lucked out and had perfect weather! Thank you for such an incredible week!

About the host

Hosted by Thaddeus Hart

Host profile image
This house has been in our family for five decades. My grandparents looked for the highest bluff on the bay and ultimately settled on this property because it was not only high above the bay but also sat above the location where tide goes further out than anywhere else on the Cape. My grandparents spent their summers here for many decades and now our families get together here in June every year.

Why they chose this property

You won't find a beach-front/water-front property on the Cape with a bigger house (3 stories), view ( sunsset and sunrise and miles of low tide flats), and more exclusive beach for the value of this place.

What makes this property unique

Our house sits on 1/2 acre with parking for up to six cars. The view as you walk around to the back deck is breathtaking. The tide goes out two miles every day and this is one of the few bodies of water on the Cape that enjoys water temperatures in 70's all summer long. The large private beach is a great place to relax, swim, and have cocktails during the day and to make s’mores at night.
