Description

Description

Bright, clean and comfortable contemporary cottage on private road in the desirable Indian Neck area of Wellfleet. Perfectly situated overlooking tranquil Fox Island salt marsh/bird sanctuary.

It's a short (5-minute) walk down private dirt road to a number of beautiful Wellfleet Harbor bay beaches. Short drive to ocean beaches and many freshwater kettle ponds. Beautiful area for walking and hiking -- walk along the water's edge and over Uncle Tim's Bridge to the village of Wellfleet with its multitude of art galleries and shops. The Cape Cod Rail Trail bicycle path is not far (behind the South Wellfleet General Store).

Cottage has a fully-equipped kitchen. The living area is bright and airy with sliding door leading to deck with BBQ grill and beautiful views of scenic saltwater marsh. Master bedroom also has sliding door to deck with views of marsh (from the bed). The close proximity of the marsh and its wildlife ensures tranquility and wonderful bird sounds. Enclosed outdoor shower -- what a great way to rinse off after a day at the beach! Cable TV/DVD (cottage is also stocked with numerous books, toys, DVD's and games). Newly-renovated bathroom and central A/C.

Sorry, no pets or smoking.

    Everything you need at Fox Island!
    October 2025

    Our family has returned year after year to the Harris cottage. There is so much for the young ones to do, with games and toys abound, though our kids look forward to our recent tradition of filling the bird feeder just as much. They also like that they can walk to the bay beach, stroll along the semi-private road, take a short ride for ice cream, breakfast in town or to just sit on the deck and enjoy the bird sanctuary across the way.

    The three bedrooms fill up nicely with the two kids in the bunk bed room and two others in the twin bed room. That leaves a roomy, more private space for adults that also has floor to ceiling glass patio doors opening to the spacious deck, perfect for that morning coffee or that evening glass of wine.

    The Harris cottage is always clean, well-equipped and welcoming in every way. The owners are always just a phone call away and ready to address any and all needs.

    Lastly, the location is terrific. Just a short drive to the ocean beachs, friendly Wellfleet village, shopping and other attractions. Better still, it's a short walk to a public but very private bay beach (even closer if you cut through neighbors' yards (we did!)!! For a place to be this accessible and this private, is unique.

    Enjoy.... just don't steal our favorite weeks there (off season is as good as on-season at the Harris Cottage).

    Quiet getaway in Wellfleet, Cape Cod
    October 2025

    My wife, son and I have have enjoyed wonderful stays each of the past two summers at this delightful house . It provides a simple and comfortable space in which to cook, read and rest, as well a deck overlooking the woods and marsh. Located on a very, very quiet unpaved road, the house is just a few minutes drive from Wellfleet's town center, and just a few minutes walk to a lovely beach on Wellfleet harbor. The shelves are stocked with books, board games and DVD's, giving evidence of many happy days spent here by guests and family. show more show less

    Perfect, as always
    May 2023

    My family has been coming here for many years. We love it! The cottage is comfy and clean, the kitchen well equipped, and there's a second shower outside. The location is great too. It's on a bumpy road a short walk away from the bay, and a not too far a drive into town or the ocean beach. But, the best part is the deck that faces the marsh. You can sit there and it's like you have the whole forest/marsh/sky to yourself. So many different birds come to the feeder, hawks and herons fly overhead, bunnies and squirrels all around (and a fox the last time we were there!). It's a beautiful place. Plus Heidi is great! show more show less

    Great location-cozy cottage
    May 2021

    Heidi's place was ideal for three people; great porch, and great, quiet location. Easy walk to a beautiful small beach and views of the marsh. Very short drive to the Fox Island Conservation land that provides access to the south side of the marsh and creek. Short drives to Mac's Seafood and Wellfleet harbor. We will certainly look to rent Heidi's cottage again.

    Quiet, secluded, peaceful home
    August 2016

    We have rented Heidi's cottage several years now, and always come out feeling rested and peaceful. It is nestled in a nature conservation area, and birds love it there! The cottage was left very clean and welcoming as always. We hope to return next year again! Heidi is very responsive to e-mails and if necessary, phone calls, if there are any issues.

    Heidi was a very friendly and helpful host. The house was clean, lovely and well located. The view is quite pretty. The house is located on a small quiet dirt road. The house was brighter and fresher than the photos show. The deck was a great place to have our meals. Very family friendly. We loved the easy access to the bay beach.

    A beautiful view
    August 2016

    We loved staying in this cottage with its beautiful view of the marsh. The cottage is well-equipped and has lots of windows to let in cool breezes. It's in a very quiet location, so we had a very relaxing week. There's a nice beach a short walk away.

    Heidi's cottage is really a great place. The deck overlooks a beautiful marshy cove and there is plenty of room to sit and eat outside. The rooms are ideal for a family with kids. Heidi was very accommodating. Great place.

    Lovely Stay!

    We really enjoyed the house. We ended up being in Wellfleet during a heat wave, and we were very grateful for the central a/c. The house had everything we needed for a wonderful week away.
