About this property

Walk to Ocean Beach, Nat'l Seashore, WiFi, Bike Rail Trail

'Amy's by the Sea' A 10 min walk to miles of ocean beaches/sand dunes, this renovated 1940's Cape-style cottage, located in the National Seashore sits on a 2+ acre wooded lot.
Open floor plan with living and dining area and open to knotty pine ceiling. Bright new kitchen with large A-frame glass overlooking the spacious deck. Surrounded by National Park, Amy's by the Sea is an easy walk to the ocean beach via paved road for bicycles/strollers or via the 'back' trail to the bluffs overlooking the ocean, sand dunes and miles of quiet beauty. The back trail to the ocean also connects to the very rare White CedarTrail preserve and Marconi site.

A 1/2 mi walk in the other direction gives you direct access to the Bicycle Rail Trail and General Store/ Post Office. Avoid Rte 6 traffic by taking Ocean View Drive into town, harbor, or glacier ponds for a swim or kayaking. Cottage is only 1/2 hr drive to Provincetown for nightlife and terrific whale watching.

Check-in was easy and the owner was very responsive. Small and basic, the cottage has all you need for a great summer stay. Above all, the location is terrific - close to beaches, rail trail and town of Wellfleet - all of which were lovely. We were lucky in having great weather so able to enjoy all of the benefits of this area.

Perfect stay

My wife and I loved our stay at Amy’s by the Sea - comfortable, well maintained, well stocked with necessities. The location was perfect, an easy walk to the ocean beach in one direction and to the Blue Willow in the other. There was easy access for cycling, whether on the road or the bike path. The deck was a lovely place to eat and the outdoor shower a treat. Jackie was a very responsive host. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Perfect Location

The house is as described and pictured. It's small but had plenty of room for us and our adult son. The location can't be beat--ten minute walk from a beautiful beach and a ten minute walk to the best bakery around. It was also an easy drive to the National Seashore beaches and countless restaurants. Communication was excellent and check in was easy as could be. We'd happily stay again!

Wondeful cottage!

We loved staying at this house. As other reviewers have said, it was close both to the ocean and the Rail Trail. We cooked and grilled in most days and it was extremely well supplied for that purpose. Huge back yard with gorgeous tall pine trees, which made it feel cooler than other sites we visited while on the Cape. And the back deck was lovely -- we spent half of our time there. Cannot recommend this place more

You are close to a yummy bakery and the bike trail and an easy walk to the beach. We would definitely return! Host was terrific from booking through departure. Five stars for sure!

Waters family

Was very much enjoyed, the weather was our only complaint because it didn’t get hot enough to swim in the ocean, but only gives us a reason to book again just in late July or August so it reaches over 75 degrees

Third year in a row staying at this hidden gem

This was our third year booking Amy’s Cottage and we just can’t say enough about it. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach, bike path and the most amazing French bistro! The neighborhood is quiet but close to everything we love to do. The cottage is the perfect size for our family of 3. We LOVE the outdoor shower, deck and the kitchen is great during our week long stay. Jackie (the host) is wonderful, accommodating and incredibly communicative. Looking forward to our next visit already!

We Keep Coming Back

Love this cottage. Love the location and love Wellfleet. Even in the thick of summer, Wellfleet maintains a laid back, friendly vibe. The cottage is supremely located - love walking to the beach! And as avid joggers, the trail to the lookout is a big bonus to have right outside the door. The cottage is cozy and clean and a nice respite after a day at the beach or exploring Wellflet. Jackie is a great host!

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Clark

Host profile image
'Amy's by-the-Sea' has been in view of our family summer home since 1940 when my grandmother Amy Foote and my grandfather Bill, camped on this property in 1917. It was first built by the Forbes family and in 1984 was sold and then sold again in 2004. Finally, in 2011, my brother and sisters and I got together and bought 'Amy's' which has been a large part of our summer lives for over 60 years.

Why they chose this property

My siblings and I have been coming to this location since we were young children. Our father had been coming since he was 8 years old and used to watch the German glider pilots fly gliders off of the dunes of Maguire Landing. We were 'hooked' on the area from an early age just like our father was.

What makes this property unique

We all love the peace, relaxation and nature of the area -- it engergizes us! The air is clean, the birds sing every morning, the berries are in bloom in mid-summer and you can hear the ocean at night. The moon and stars are spectacular and some of us have seen the Northern Lights from the ocean dunes.
