Our family loved our stay at this seaside cottage. The home is truly an authentic cope cod beach cottage and we enjoyed the rustic charm. My favorite spot was morning coffee on the deck perched atop a dune overlooking the beach. The ocean view was spectacular all day and stunning during sunsets. The beach in front of the cottage was private and lovely. We often walked the beach and enjoyed watching seals bobbing in the water Linda was kind and helpful throughout our beach week. This was an A stay!

Can't beat the location! Simple house with everything you need provided. They also provide sheets and bath towels which is great. On hot days, the sun beats on the upstairs rooms but in the evening cools down a bit. Access to the beach is incredible and the deck to watch the sunset it awesome. We hope to be back next year!

Great beach house in a gorgeous location

My husband and I stayed here with grown kids. It was a glorious setting overlooking the bay. Plenty of room for everyone in this cozy old cape home. The outdoor shower was a wonderful thing. The kitchen was well provided with everything we needed.

We had a fantastic family vacation week here. The cottage is rustic as expected -- this isn't a problem for us and we had everything we needed for the week. We ate on the deck every day and had the most relaxing vacation being right on the beach and not needing to coordinate everyone in our family with adult kids being ready to drive to the beach at the same time. We were fortunate to have great weather all week -- no rain and cool at night. There's a covered porch as well but we didn't need to use it.

Charming Beach Cottage

We have rented various beach houses for the past 12 years with our grown children and grandchildren. After canceling our beach vacation last summer due to covid we were so happy to get together at this beach cottage. It was very clean and had all the amenities we could have asked for. The deck overlooking the private beach was by far the best thing about this location. We hope to be back in the future!

Perfect Beach Getaway

Linda’s cottage was perfect for our trip. We wanted for nothing except more sun! I’ve been visiting the Cape most years since I was a kid, and this place reminds me of those family trips. The space is exactly as pictured…it’s not fancy, but the listing doesn’t claim it to be. Instead, it’s loaded with the important things…love and memories.

Wonderful Vacation Home!

This house was a perfect vacation home for my family and I. This property really fit my family well with the several bedrooms and direct access to the beach. There is a deck that sits on the edge of the dune that provides beautiful views of the Cape Cod Bay. One of the things I enjoyed most about this property is the access to the beach. The property manager provided great customer service. Overall, this house is absolutely wonderful! It is a 10/10 and I would recommend!

Quintessential Cape Cod

This property is quintessential Cape Cod. It’s located on top of a dune facing west, which allows for sunset viewing. The beach is calm as it’s on the bay side. The beach is a nice sandy beach, private and nearly empty. The house is accurately represented in the photos. If you want lots of sheetrock and granite countertops, look elsewhere. This is a special place. It’s perfect.

Vintage Cape Paradise

The moments my family made during our vacation stay are ones we'll hold onto forever. To be able to walk out your back door onto a deck overlooking the bay was something I'll never forget. Loved that taking our 2-year old to the beach was as easy as walking down some stairs (which aren't nearly as bad as the pictures might make you think). House is described accurately - no AC, no frills, just an adorable little cape with a bunch of adorable little rooms where your family can hang their hats. Lots of great food, beaches, views, etc... in the area. If you are looking for an old school cape vacation with lots of possibilities, this is the perfect house. We will be back.

Amazing location with beautiful views (and a great host)

Right on a beautiful stretch of water. It is amazing house to enjoy ocean views. Loved our morning coffee, and we really enjoyed the quiet, beautiful beach. And close to Wellfleet and Provincetown made it great for day trips: shopping, beaches, mini golf, whale watches. The cottage is small, but it has a great setup for a family with plenty of beds…and you really want to be outside. We cooked and grilled several nights. It was an amazing week! No A/C, and the house was stuffy at night…and only one bathroom was a bit of a challenge. But I would absolutely stay there again…particularly when it gets a bit cooler. Our host was great and the listing is accurate.

We just returned from an unforgettable week at this cozy Cape cottage—it was the perfect getaway for our family, ranging in age from 7 to 69, including several teenagers. The home is classic Cape Cod: simple, comfortable, and full of charm. It had everything we needed, especially the well-stocked kitchen, which made mealtime easy for us.The location is absolutely amazing—from the private deck overlooking the bay, you’re just 30 steps from your own private beach on the bay side. Everyone found something to love: the kids and adults played in the sand, swam for hours, and soaked in the views. One of our favorite evenings was gathering for a beach bonfire at sunset—such a special memory for all of us.We also appreciated how close it was to both Wellfleet and Provincetown, especially since the rest of our family was staying in those towns. It made not only our get-togethers easy but also our outings for ice cream, shopping, and local dining fun and convenient.This cottage gave our whole family the chance to slow down and reconnect in a beautiful setting. We hated to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Randy H

The location was fabulous, right on the beach. Very private for us and our 2 dogs. They were able to play on the property and beach with no issues. The parking was great also. The bed was to soft, but I guess it's good for some. Unfortunately it was extremely warm and humid the week we were there, and there wasn't any air conditioning. Usually at the Cape the ocean breeze is good enough, but this week it wasn't. So because of that, it was quite uncomfortable. We would love to go back next year, but I'll make it late August, and hopefully not get the heat. Otherwise, great place and friendly owner!

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Our family has been staying on Ryder Beach every summer since 1966. We purchased this cottage in 1977 so we could spend more time on the beach! Our parents retired and spent many summers here with lots of great memories. We started renting the cottage out for 2-3 weeks a year to assist with the tax payments and repairs now that our parents don't live here full time.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, peaceful, private beach is steps away. This location is perfect if you love the beach and want to be away from the tourist areas but is 15-20 minutes to Provincetown, Eastham and Orleans for tourist attractions and restaurants when you want them. Perfect for a family get together with plenty of beds to sleep 6-8 people. Young children can nap while the parents sit on the deck or beach. Great sunset views over Cape Cod Bay while dining or having cocktails on the deck. Old/Rustic cottage so no worries about sand and wet bathing suits in the house. House is not fancy but the beach and location are worth the price!

What makes this property unique

No need to lug beach gear daily. Leave chairs, umbrellas and supplies at the bottom of the beach stairs (Bring your own supplies). Easy access to the house for bathroom, food etc. 30-40 steps from the door to the edge of the water. Hammock for afternoon naps or reading. Fishing table to clean the catch of the day.
