About this property

Spectacular Waterfront Home! Privacy, A/C, VIEWS! Direct beach access!

This beautiful mid-century modern home, built by a landscape painter as an artistic retreat, enjoys dramatic views across a sheltered inlet from Cape Cod Bay. Completely renovated, the house now features two premiere bedrooms (queens) with en suite baths and two additional bedrooms (a pair of twins and a single) with a shared bath. All of the bedrooms have water views -- as do the gourmet kitchen, spacious dining area, and adjoining family room with a wood-burning stove. Overlooking the water are two decks, a bluestone patio, and two outdoor showers (one private). Half Shell Cottage is furnished with a lovely mix of contemporary and mid-century furnishings -- and the house has a multi-zone central air conditioning system, hot air heat, and amenities including hi-speed Internet WiFi, basic cable, a laundry room with washer/dryer, and a gas grill. The house is in South Wellfleet. A 5-6 minute drive from downtown Wellfleet. It's an extraordinary property!

** To keep costs down for you (and for additional health protection), like many Cape Cod rentals we do not provide sheets and towels. We can order them to be delivered to the house for you through a local company, though, so just let us know what you'd prefer.
** Please give us a call with any questions about the house or the area. We have loved sharing our home with our rental guests, and we look forward to working with you to make your Half Shell holiday great!
** Please make sure to include your dates for the most accurate pricing, as our rates are seasonal.

Host profile image
My grandmother was an artist out on the Cape in the 1950s, and our home was her summer studio, though we renovated the house fully a few years ago! More information on the house is part of the welcome packet we send to our renters.
