About this property

Waterfront, private beach on Great Pond.

Solitude and Fun at Great Pond: The exclusive property sits on a knoll above your own private beach on Great Pond-- pristine, freshwater, sandy bottomed, warm and swimmable in the Cape Cod National Seashore. You will be away from it all, surrounded by pine forest and sand roads.

Summer: Private raft on Great Pond. Walking distance to the ocean.

Fall / Winter / Spring: Gaze at the water, walk the sand roads, and spy on our resident heron as you nestle by the fireplace. Enjoy the quiet of Wellfleet as it returns to its roots as a sleepy fishing village.

Great Pond Property Overview
Our property is two fully equipped houses joined as one, a blend of rustic and contemporary. The ‘Summer Side’ is the original cottage - full of Cape Cod charm and a huge screened-in porch. The ‘Big House’ was added in the 80’s. It is fully insulated / heated, has a window-lined living room and a gorgeous dining room that makes you feel you are eating outside. The 2 homes are connected by a hallway with a twin bedroom. Each home has private decks with views of the pond and a full kitchen. This lovely property is only one of three that are available to rent on Great Pond in the summer and the only one available to rent in the off season. Built by our family, this property has personal touches and a few Cape Cod quirks.

Summer (May - Sept): This wonderful “two vacation homes as one" is available to rent in its entirety for any week. It is a perfect vacation spot for a large family, two families or a multigenerational family gathering. For those who love to swim, this home is a paradise.

Summer rental include Big House AND Summer Side, sleeping a total of 8 people.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image

My brother and I grew up spending summers in this cottage when it was just one room and had no electricity or running water. We swam and sailed in the pond all day or played on the sandy beach or in the pine woods. It was a wonderful way to spend childhood summers.

Why they chose this property

My great grandfather was the Methodist Minister in Wellfleet. It has been a family gathering spot for 4 generations.

What makes this property unique

Because there are 2 houses connected by a hallway, there are lots of private areas as well as communal areas.The screened in porch is one of the unique features of the Summer Side. It extends across one entire side of the cottage. It overlooks the pond and is surrounded by pine trees. There is a picnic table for dining on, comfortable chairs for reading in. On warm nights it's a wonderful place for reading and visiting.
The Big House has the tv and the big living room to gather in the evenings.
