About this property

Beach front Cottage, close to downtown - Private Beach and Great Water views

I do not advertise on Craigslist and do not take Western Union as a form of payment. I am not on any social media and rentals that do not come through this website are a SCAM.

This cottage is right on the water and there are steps down to a private beach! It is one of 20 free standing condo cottages at the Wellfleeter Condo Association. There is a spectacular waterfront view of Wellfleet Harbor and Cape Cod Bay from the three sliders one in the master bedroom, the kitchen and the living room. The sunsets will take your breath away. Wow- it still surprises me how amazing the view is when I go over there. It is cottage #9.

The association stairs- there are about 15 steps- lead you down to the sandy bay beach for swimming, boating, fishing, shell fishing, or just plain relaxing! The water here is tidal so beach access depends on the tide. There are two or three steps up to get into the cottage. Right down the street from the playground, skateboard park, tennis and basketball courts. The town pier, many restaurants, art galleries and shopping in downtown Wellfleet are within a short distance. I often walk it. The cottage has wireless internet.

We have three bedrooms:
One with a queen bed, one with a full size bed and one with two twin beds. Each bedroom has a closet and dresser. We provide mattress pads, pillows and blankets. YOU are responsible for BRINGING or RENTING YOUR OWN your sheets, bath and beach towels.

The kitchen has a table to eat in and also a slider out to the patio where we have our grill and waterfront picnic table. We have tried to stock the kitchen with anything you might need pot and pan wise. We have dishes, glasses, flatware and a dishwasher. We have spices, olive oil and some of the basic items you might want/need; a roll of paper towels, aluminum foil, saran wrap, dish & dishwasher soap, and coffee. If you expect to use more paper goods please bring them and leave the cottage as you found it with a roll of towels for the next guests.

We have a basement with beach chairs, beach toys and a washer and dryer. Feel free to use all of it! Basement is accessed via an exterior bulkhead. Remember do not lock the bulkhead.

If you want to get a Wellfleet Town Beach sticker for other beaches please go on line to the Town website or to the beach office at the pier when you arrive.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful Views and Nice Decor

Great location with beautiful views, very comfortable beds and lots of kitchen equipment, washer and dryer was appreciated as were the game equipment we borrowed from the basement. We liked that the decor had a touch of "beach house" but was not overdone.

Wonderful stay!

Our family of six (including 4 teens) truly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful cottage overlooking the gorgeous bay. We enjoyed swimming, watching the tidal changes, walking to Mac's for ice cream and lobster rolls, and playing pickleball at the nearby courts. The location was perfect for relaxing and short trips to Provincetown and Great Island Trail. Kathleen was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We are grateful to have found this special spot.

Beautiful waterfront rental

This home is stunning so beautifully decorated and top notch beach access. Walking distance to many restaurant and beach is 10 steps from the house. Everything you need is at this house just bring your linens and food and you will be ready for a great vacation.. Lots of chairs, beach toys etc at the house and bonus is having a washer and dryer. Community was so quiet most days we were all by ourselves on the beach, Owner was so amazing to deal with always responsive to any questions I had, You can not get a better rental in Wellfleet! Cant wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Nagle

Host profile image

I was born in the Bronx, NY, grew up in Westchester County and moved to Wellfleet in 2000. I love Wellfleet and the Outer Cape and feel very fortunate to call it my home! I have owned a cottage at the Wellfleeter since 2003 and still pinch myself when I come over here. It is such a special place!

I do not advertise this cottage on Craigslist or any where other than this website. So if you find it anywhere else someone is scamming you. I do not take Western Union payments.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is in such an amazing location, near down town and right on the water with such peaceful water views, both my mom and I talk about spending our entire summers there at some point. Until I can afford to do that, I will be renting it out and would love to have you come and enjoy my little slice of heaven!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location- I still pinch myself when I am over at the cottage that I am fortunate enough to own it! The location is fabulous. Sometimes when I am in the cottage looking out at the water I feel like I am on a cruise ship.

You will have to come stay to see for yourself.
