Secluded Gem in Village: 2026 Calendar now posted
Wellfleet Village Vacation Rental - ID 8592

A quiet gem that is off the beaten path and yet walkable to the action in the village of Wellfleet. There is plenty of room to spread out in this well appointed and comfortable cottage.

Wonderful house, freshly renovated and nicely decorated. Spacious lay out. Beautiful open concept kitchen and first floor dining and living rooms. Terrific large screened porch for dinners overlooking the huge yard. Beautifully landscaped and private yard secluded from the road. Central air throughout if needed. 5 minute walk to Main Street, yet so secluded.

We live year-round in Wellfeet and rented this for young family visitors for three days. It's very convenient, with easy walking around town, down to the pier, and Mayo Beach. Very clean and comfortable. Bob was easy to work with.

This house is just steps away from the main street but allows one to be a part of nature. Loved the kitchen and screened porch especially. Renting from Robert was easy and pleasant. We were never far away from our favorite beaches and restaurants, but we were able to explore some new ones as well. The house is amply furnished and supplied with all one needs to prepare a meal there. It was a pleasure to stay here.

Our stay was memorable! This is the 2nd September in a row that my wife and I rented this home. Last year was for 1 week with 1 of our adult daughters. This September, with our 3 adult children, for 2 weeks. The room layout was great for everyone to have the privacy they needed. We utilized the screened-in porch everyday, usually for breakfast and often for take-out dinners. Besides making coffee, we only utilized the kitchen for cooking 1-2 meals and it was well-stocked.
The location of the house was perfect for a short walk to the downtown for shopping and dining at any meal time. Also, a very private setting, as advertised.
The house was very comfortable for movie nights, reading, and, on many days, the dining room table was used as a remote working spot.
Communication with the owner was easy and prompt.
We have been vacationing in Wellfleet, on and off, since 1987 and this 'Secluded Gem' is one we will come back to again!

This is the fourth time my family and I have stayed in this home. It must be one of the most beautiful properties on the Cape. We love that we can walk to town, yet it is very private. It is well-appointed yet comfortable inside, and the backyard is award winning. We're already looking forward to our next stay.

We've been renting this home in Wellfleet for over a decade. It feels like our home away from home. Not only is it conveniently located in Wellfleet about 1/4 mile from Mayo Beach and also from town, but it has one of the prettiest and secluded yards we've seen on the Cape. The house is roomy enough for multiple guests and cozy enough for two. We will definitely rent this home again in the future.

This lovely home was ideal - spacious, very clean and in a secluded location within the village of Wellfleet. The kitchen was well-appointed and the beds were comfortable. The description is accurate. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and provided detailed instructions. We have no hesitation about recommending this to others.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our September getaway at this lovely home in Wellfleet. We immediately felt at home and found everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The large secluded yard is nicely landscaped and the screened in porch was an added bonus. The owner was very responsive and was a lifesaver when we mistakenly locked ourselves out of the house. We recommend this property to couples and families.

This house is spacious, attractive, very comfortable, with generous grounds, and in a quiet, yet central, location. The big screened porch is perfect for sitting any time of day or evening. The host was attentive, considerate, and clearly experienced. We felt we were in good hands.

We loved everything about this lovely house. From the location (easy walk to the village) to the privacy (quiet and secluded) to the charming, whimsical artwork displayed throughout the house. A perfect spot to use as a home base for a week at the Cape. The property owners were wonderful. We highly recommend this rental!

Very nice house with lots of room. It seemed like a cut above the usual Cape rental fare. Had a minor problem getting the stove above 350 but other than that we really enjoyed it

This is the second time we stayed at this house. The house is well kept. The location is great, a short walk to the pier or downtown, but quiet and secluded. Plenty of room, real nice screened porch, and the kitchen is well appointed. We had no issues at all. I highly recommend this property, and I will be checking for availability the next time we get to Wellfleet.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house in Wellfleet. The location is perfect - quick walk to town down Holbrook to Baker, but very quiet and private property. The original artwork is wonderful and the bedrooms and closets are large and comfortable. The kitchen is fabulous- large and very well equipped for cooking. Large and clean basement with laundry.

There is a large yard with gardens and a screened in porch - which was lovely given how wet it has been and the resulting mosquitos.

Very easy to communicate with the owners.

Just lovely! 5/5

Great location with Wellfleet town center, harbor and even Uncle Tim’s Bridge an easy walk away. House is immaculate and perfect for a young family!

Can’t find a better spot in Wellfleet

Lovely and relaxing - 5/5

This was a great place to spend my birthday!!!

Owner's Response:
I'm glad you had a good week for a significant birthday. We've enjoyed having you at our home 10 times since 2007 --a record of sorts. Thank you!

Clean and convenient with a great yard! - 5/5

We were so pleased with this house for our Cape vacation. We stayed a week with four adults and two toddlers. The house was very clean and inviting. The kitchen is well equipped and the grill works beautifully. The back yard is has so much space for letting the little ones run around, laying in the hammock and playing yard games. The location is also perfect! It’s walking distance to town, Mac’s, the harbor and bay beaches. You’ll hardly find the need to drive on route 6 even getting to the ocean and ponds. This house has it all and we look forward to renting it again next year.

Owner's Response:
Glad you enjoyed yourself. Look forward to having you as a regular!

Perfect cape cod getaway - 5/5

Comfortable residence in a private setting - 5/5

My sister and I spent three nights here, reminiscing about vacations spent in Wellfleet as children. The house is lovely inside and out and convenient to village shops, restaurants and beaches. There's plenty of room for a larger family, a beautiful lawn out back and a secluded location. The owners have provided just about everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Best rental in Wellfleet - 5/5

House was nice and private, clean and lots of room. Especially loved the large screened in porch overlooking the gardens. It really is a secluded gem!

Excellent - 5/5

We had a wonderful time. It was a big beautiful very comfortable house on gorgeous property. Fully stocked kitchen and linens. Super convenient to walk to town or very quick drive to the ponds or Ocean.

Everything was perfect! Every possible need thought out and provided. Highest recommendations! - 5/5

The house is truly lovely. Lots of room. The big screened-in porch overlooking the lawn and gardens made the perfect place to sit with your morning tea and evening glass of wine. The house is a short walk into town and yet is completely private and secluded. We had a wonderful stay. Many thanks!

Owner's Response:
Thanks for the thoughtful review. It is especially nice since we don't solicit comments and you took the initiative to share your experience. I hope you will become a "regular". Bob

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. Henry David Thoreau - 5/5

This was my first visit to the Cape (one more off the bucket list)! I think this place is one of the best properties in Wellfleet to rent. The ease of the floor plan was perfect. I liked the seclusion and quiet with all the convenience of walking to the beach or town center. Not to mention the wonderful books in the bookcase or the short drive to Moby's Dick Seafood Restaurant, I probably should have walked there also, and one could. We had the best time with good friends, kayaking, walking the beaches and of course fishing. This home has all the conveniences so we lacked nothing once we came home to cook (Strippers of course), relax and rest, it was all there to enjoy, surrounded by nature's beauty.
