Description

Description

This beautiful Wellfleet home with breathtaking water views is located on a quiet private road just 3 minutes from a private beach on Cape Cod Bay. The house accommodates extended/multi families with ease with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Enjoy central AC/heat, a working fireplace, unobstructed views through floor-to-ceiling windows, an expansive deck, and ample outdoor parking and play areas. Also, a dishwasher, washer/dryer, cable TV, Internet, a BBQ grill, and an outdoor shower.

Charlie Zehnder — dubbed ''the most prolific modern architect on the Cape'' — designed our house in 1971, and generations of our family have grown up here. Spend your vacation relaxing in our beautiful, tranquil home. We know you'll love it just as much as we do!

INSIDE

Enter the house on the main floor, where you'll find the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The spacious open floor plan allows everyone to carve out their own nook while still feeling connected. Down the hall are two master bedrooms — one with a balcony overlooking the yard — as well as a marble-tiled full bathroom. All common spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, maximizing the natural light and ensuring perfect beach views all day.

Two more bedrooms — each outfitted with two twin beds — are downstairs. With floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, each room gets plenty of natural light and opens up onto the sandy yard. You'll find a second full bathroom, a linen closet, our impressive puzzle collection, and a toy closet for kids. There's also a basement room with a washer and dryer, utility sink, and beach necessities (chairs, boogie boards/bodyboards, and more). The downstairs bedrooms are ideal for kids or additional guests. Each bedroom contains one extra long twin bed for extra tall friends.

OUTSIDE

Enjoy quintessential, tranquil Cape Cod in the Indian Neck neighborhood, overlooking the Cape Cod Bay. Located at the end of a private road, the area is quiet, peaceful, and safe. Explore our herb garden, read or entertain guests on our huge deck (runs the full length of the house), or stroll down to our private beach (just steps away). There's lots of room for kids to play outside in the sun and shade, plus 2-4 cars can park comfortably.

ADDITIONAL AMENITIES

Kitchen: we love to cook! You'll find all the cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery, and serving pieces you could want, plus an herb garden, two large tubs of fresh herbs on the deck, and dry spices in the pantry cupboard. Charcoal grill on deck right outside the kitchen.

For kids: highchair, books, board games, puzzles, toy closet downstairs for young children.

For the beach: beach chairs, boogie boards/bodyboards, foam noodles, everything you need for the perfect sandcastle!

      Sunsets and Celebrations
      August 2018

      A new grandchild and our 50th wedding anniversary prompted our family vacation in Wellfleet. We found this house online and saw immediately that it would meet our needs - upstairs for the oldsters and daughter, downstairs for the son, wife, two year old and newborn. The house turned out to be perfect in the following obvious ways, all visible in the online photos: a secluded location; a fabulous view and an enormous deck to enjoy it; a well-equipped kitchen with up-to-date appliances, comfortable seating and dining indoors and out; cushions for the outdoor deck furniture were a plus! and the great outdoor shower and herb garden.

      Not visible but very much appreciated were really comfortable beds and pillows, new laundry equipment; a fantastic walk-out children's play area under the deck and tons of beach equipment available for our use. The TV and wireless were trouble-free and the house was spotless. Clearly, the owners want their guests to have a good experience and provide nice amenities and necessities to ensure that. We found it to be a perfect fit for us and would recommend it to others. The owner was gracious and responsive and provided excellent information for ease of arrival and departure. All in all a first-class, trouble-free vacation rental.

      Thank you, Joan, for your thorough and very generous review! I'm delighted that you and your family had such a wonderful time, especially since you were celebrating such important milestones together. My family spends as much time as we can at the house. We know all the amenities that make our own lives fun, comfortable, and relaxing so of course we want to provide the same experience for our tenants. I hope you'll keep our home in mind for the future; we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

      Glorious view of the bay
      September 2018

      Our two sons and their families - all together 2 sets of parents, 2 boys 9 & 7, 2 two-year old little girls - had a wonderful time in the house. They loved the spectacular views from the deck. Everything they needed in the house was easy to find, the appliances worked well and the directions for their use were very clear. The tallest son thought the chairs on the deck could be more comfortable. The only reservation we heard was that there is no direct walk down to the beach and the walk around is a stretch for tired little children. But these are quibbles, they all loved their Wellfleet vacation and would come back the house in a flash. And we certainly loved having our children and grandchildren close by. A repeat next summer would not be a surprise. show more show less

      Thanks for the feedback, Nick; I'm delighted that your extended family had such a wonderful time at the house. Alas, we do not have a direct walkway or stairs to the beach, thus our home is listed as water view rather than waterfront. I'm glad your family enjoyed their time nonetheless (and I suspect that being just a year older will make the path down to the beach much easier for your granddaughters to conquer). I certainly hope you'll come back next year--you're welcome anytime!

      Wellfleet Abode
      August 2018

      This is a rustic-modern home on a hill overlooking the cove with the most magnificent sunsets one can imagine. They make the most of space and bedrooms are quite private upstairs and down. There is topnotch cookware, fresh herbs from the garden, bedding, towels, beach equipment, and toys. The house is in excellent condition. Temperature moderation is easy. One can walk to the cove beach or drive if one has a carful. The house is an easy drive from Wellfleet and anywhere you wish to go in that region of the Cape. The house manager is the best I have experienced! show more show less

      Pure Peace on the Cape
      January 2018

      I come here every year that I can. My family had rented elsewhere on the Cape before, but I've settled on this as my favorite vacation spot. It's absolutely peaceful, with few neighbors and a lot of space between properties, especially for the Cape. Easy walk to the beach. Well-equipped kitchen. Super cool architecture and a lot of great airflow and sunlight. I appreciate that they keep board games, books, and movies available for use, too. Great for the raining nights or indoor days. I've been coming here yearly since 2013. show more show less

We recently organized the bookshelves and even added some new titles, so you'll have to come back and check them out soon!

      A Memory in the Making
      November 2017

      In full disclosure, I have been vacationing at this property my entire life, spending my summers walking to the small bay that lays adjacent to play by the beach; and now that it is available to the public for rental, I could not be more excited for you, a prospective renter. With the caveat that one have access to a car, for it is rather far removed for anything less, this property is perfect for a family that wants to travel en masse or a group of friends that want to share the cost for a large space that can easily accommodate 8 adults and additional children.

      The house has two stories with two bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor. Both stories exit onto a picturesque shore covered in stones and evergreen trees, . A full porch with unrivaled views of the tranquil bay and frequently sumptuous sunsets, as well as a large loft area perfect for even more surprise guests and any pesky +1’s. The space is private and secluded; isolated from the bustle of everyday life, the place practically hums with the potential for deep and lasting emotional peace and satisfaction. A lot of people have cherished this home and its location on Cape Cod, close enough to Wellfleet to enjoy a meal out or a movie, yet far enough away to feel like you have booked a stay on your own private planet. I am certain that any future guests will come to regard this house just as fondly. Enjoy.

      Could Just Stay Here on the Deck All Day
      January 2018

      Perfect, compact house with an expansive western view. Well-appointed kitchen open to the dining-living room and the large deck facing Jeremy Point and Cape Cod Bay. Quiet, comfortable bedrooms. Small neighborhood beach within walking distance for early-risers, midday families, and evening sunset-watchers. Wellfleet is very close by, as is P-town. Best beach experience was a (moderately strenuous) over-sand hike out to watch the seals just north of High Head on Sand Road. Or you could just sit on the deck all day and have someone else go out to get food and drinks. show more show less

      Beautiful, relaxing, private home with a view
      January 2018

      We really enjoyed our visit to this lovely home. Views of the bay and Great Island are ever changing and the sunsets not to be missed. The house is well equipped, airy, and a great place to hang out in good or bad weather. Easy walk to the beach. The hosts were easy to communicate with and helpful. We highly recommend this home and will definitely return.

      Charming, cozy, and the best view!
      November 2017

      I had the loveliest visit in this gorgeous home. My friends and I stayed for a few days, cooking in the sweet kitchen, relaxing and partaking in the sunsets on the porch, taking the short walk to the beach, and much more. Would highly recommend to a family or a group of friends looking for a marvelous place to stay on Cape Cod!

      Bay view house for 8 with amazing sunsets
      February 2018

      This house has neat architecture with open spaces in the common areas. Bedrooms are nice and are fine for two people per room. This house is great for two families of four. Wellfleet is an amazing place and has fun activities, beautiful beaches, and great views in all directions. We also went to Provincetown (only 20 minutes away) and had an amazing whale watch with the Dlphin Fleet.

      The rental experience was easy and convenient. We plan to return in the future.

      Thanks for your kind feedback, Leo! Happy to hear you're a fan of the house's cool, unique Zehnder architecture (which provides lots of space for extended families, as you rightly pointed out). We hope you'll come back soon to enjoy more beach time and whale watch expeditions with friends and family of all ages!

      New favorite place!
      November 2017

      We absolutely loved staying here! The spacious deck is perfect for viewing sunsets over Wellfleet Harbor. Breathtaking view of Great Island - which is a wonderful place to take a picnic and to enjoy a seaside walk. The deck is also ideal for sharing a leisurely breakfast and then taking a stroll to the beach, which is a very short walking distance.

      The Indian Neck neighborhood where the house is located is great to explore or jog, and there is a beautiful beach and marsh to wander. The Cape Cod Rail Trail is biking and driving distance from the house and extends south for rides suitable for a family or for the avid cyclist. The Cape Cod National Seashore's iconic and dramatic beaches and bike trails are a short drive or bike ride away as well. Yummy seafood joints and a delectable boulangerie in the neighborhood as well. This home is the ideal location to be able to enjoy the type of Cape vacation the suits you best. My first stay was in fall of 2011, and have since returned in spring 2012, summer 2014 and summer 2015. show more show less

      I'm proud to be the House Manager of what truly is a family home. My grandparents commissioned Charlie Zehnder — dubbed ''the most prolific modern architect on the Cape'' — to design the house and my grandmother built it in 1971. The house has been a delight for generations since, with siblings, cousins, and grandkids all growing up here. I've moved around frequently throughout my life, but summers at the Cape have always been a constant. I take pleasure in sharing our house with friends, extended family, and you too. Come spend a week or two (or more) and see why my family keeps coming back year after year.

      What is special about this property?
      We have the best sunset views around. I've been coming to the Cape for almost three decades and while I love the gorgeous beaches and waterfront dining, nothing beats reclining on our deck with a cold beverage and watching the sun set over Great Island and the bay. Well, maybe the sky on a clear night. Tucked away at the end of a private road, there's very little light pollution at night, so you can take in all the constellations and discern the Milky Way above.
