''Best House! Best Beach!'' Only Cape Cod Beach ranked U.S. Top Ten Family Friendly (Tripadvisor.com). Only Historic Bluff home to receive a ''Harry Truman White House'' total reconstruction and a ''Jacqueline Kennedy White House'' art & antique appointing. Only Bluff Cottage Grounds manicured to CDC ''Tick-safe Zone'' Guidelines. Only ''private jet'' to Paradise at less than ''coach'' per person. Visitors to Chequessett Bluff, with its wondrous, sweeping, Cape panorama, invariably erupt into nonverbal exultations of pure, aesthetic joy. Every eye flashes and every breath catches in childlike delight. The views really are that spectacular. And the venue is family perfect. This waterfront, three story home, with its wide porch and private beach, is one of the original Chequessett Inn Bluff Cottages built in the early 1900's by Sea Captain and banana tycoon L.D. Baker for friends and special guests. Edward Hopper, who famously painted the ''beauty beyond language,'' immortalized this home in his ''Cottages at Wellfleet.'' The house retains its original, now restored, Eastlake furnishings, its lovely, historic, Cape Cod charm and, because of its era, it stands taller, and is closer to the water than modern codes allow. Seagulls soar below you. Inviting bay waters are warm. There's a safe, prevailing, onshore breeze. When a sou'wester picks up, windsurfers and kite boarders literally fly. Kayak to The National Seashore's Great Island or behind the neck to the Herring River. Explore the estuaries at low tide. Stroll past the world's most famous oyster beds to Wellfleet Harbor for ice cream, sushi or lobster. Tell your loved ones to ''Go fly a kite'' and prepare for decades of gratitude.
While the home and beach are private and peaceful, Wellfleet's restaurants, galleries, theater, tennis, golf, kettle ponds, Atlantic beaches, grocery and village center are all just a cherrystone's throw away. It is a perfect family spot surrounded by the natural wonders of the Outer Cape and, like the National Seashore around it, its themes of enjoyment are vast and timeless. read more show less
