About this property

Family Beach House Close to Bay Beaches, Ponds

This carefully maintained cottage is ideal for family vacations from spring through fall: less than 350 yards from sandy beaches on Cape Cod Bay, an ideal spot for swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, and matchless shell-fishing. Stroll home for lunch, a late afternoon nap, or back to the western-facing beach for the beautiful sunsets. Close to art galleries, fresh water ponds, restaurants, and a short drive to ocean beaches in the isolation of the National Seashore.

The house has one bedroom on the first level, and three on the second floor (one of which is ideal for a nursery), with a 160 sq. ft. deck off the master bedroom; two baths, and a recently renovated kitchen. A new Vermont Castings gas stove keeps the evenings warm when needed. At the rear, a patio and outdoor shower are linked to the upper deck. The wooded setting is perfect for quiet relaxed living.

Great location near cove beach

We have been visiting the Indian Neck area of Wellfleet for many years. This property is close to Burton Baker Beach and the beautiful cove. Good for adults and kids - nice outdoor shower! We would definitely recommend.

Perfect Family Getaway

This house was the perfect setting for our summer trip to Wellfleet. We were outside most of the time as the house has several great spots like an outdoor shower and a grassy yard which is hard to come by down the Cape! But the best perk by far was the short walk to several breathtaking beaches on the bayside. It was a wonderful week!

Family vacation week

Such a cozy cottage just a short walk from the bayside; lovely for swimming and walking; loved the deck off the master bedroom and found everything we needed for a comfortable stay.For people who need A/C it might get a it warm upstairs but there were some fans that helped cool down the bedrooms.

Great stay

We had a great stay here. It's very much a family home and has lots of character - interesting art on the walls, lots of books. It's an easy walk down a quiet street to get to really nice bay beaches. The house is a compact 'old cape'-style home, with ample outdoor space - great for our daughter to play in. Upstairs are 2 nice, large bedrooms as well as a children's room, and the downstairs bedroom was great for guests. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again.

Everything was perfect

Lovely cheerful cottage, wonderfully furnished and decorated. Multiple outdoor areas to relax in. Bay beach right down the street was awesome. Lots of shells! Wellfleet offers many beautiful kettle ponds as well. The town pier area has great eating alternatives and our favorite, the Wednesday night square dance! Hope to return next year.

casual beach cottage in great location

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, well equipped beach cottage. We loved being able to walk to bay beaches. We enjoyed the deck off the bedroom, even though the screen on the sliding door didn’t seal tightly to the door. The deck was wonderful, with a sunscreen that provided a cool place to sit even during the hottest days. The bedrooms were a comfortable size with adequate storage and comfortable beds. The door to the Queen bedroom squeeked every time it was opened, even though WD40, which was left in the room, was applied. There was no air conditioning but fans were supplied. The living room was spacious and comfortable and with the windows open had a nice cross draft that cooled it off on hot days. There were 3 seating areas outside in a nicely landscaped wooded setting. We had a pleasant stay.

Indian Neck home, Wellfleet, MA

Cottage was overall clean - but buggy with many ants and spiders. Ant hills throughout the backyard. Cobwebs in corners and overhangs in some rooms. . Bathrooms clean and well maintained as was kitchen which was well stocked. Bottom bedroom and living room poorly lit and ventilated, but fans are available in most rooms. In need of TV - (only a small {15"?} computer monitor with DVD player was available. No cable TV Owner was responsive and answered emails timely.

Thanks for the heads-up, and we have taken care of the ant/bug situation!

Welfleet Beach Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this sweet, casual beach cottage. Our kids loved being able to walk down to Burton Baker Beach to catch crabs, swim, or to watch the sunset. The Ocean beaches (Cahoon Hollow being our favorite) and fresh water ponds keep us coming back every year. You can tell the family who owns this home cares for it - - - it's the small things like the great outdoor shower and original artwork on the walls. It's a summery type home, so don't expect Comcast or wall-to-wall carpeting. It's peaceful and charming. We plan on staying there again.

About the host

Hosted by Arthur Valk

Host profile image

The McCarthy family has vacationed here in Wellfleet for over 40 years and has offered this cottage during the months of July and August. We want to share this secluded family getaway and its spectacularly diverse surroundings.

Why they chose this property

The house is an updated timber-frame shingle cottage with brick floors on the first level and pine paneled walls throughout, much as most cape cod style cottages were built in the 40's,& 50's. Informal living with charming touches....

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to bay beaches and shellfishing, with a private deck off the master bedroom looking into a mature pine grove covering the rear of the property.
