About this property

Waterfront Cottage Steps to Private Beach! (2052)

Enjoy the best of Wellfleet from this updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage located in the sought-after Wellfleeter Condominium complex at the end of Mayo Beach. Just steps from your door, a private staircase leads down to 400 feet of sandy beach reserved for association guests—perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing by the bay.

Inside, the cottage features a bright kitchen and dining area, a cozy living room with a 30" TV, and two bedrooms—one with a double bed, the other with two twins—sharing a full bathroom with a shower stall. The space is ideal for a couple or small family looking to enjoy the Cape’s natural beauty with the comforts of home.

From this waterfront location, you’re just a short walk to the town tennis courts, playground, Wellfleet Harbor, waterfront restaurants, and about 10 minutes on foot to the town center. Whether you're enjoying low tide adventures or sunset strolls, the location is hard to beat.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, lobster pot, and all essential cookware. The cottage also includes WiFi, cable TV, a DVD player, gas grill, and standard fans to keep cool.

3-night minimum stays are available with an added cleaning fee. Guests booking 7 or more consecutive nights can save by skipping the cleaning fee.

An administrative fee and applicable taxes may apply. Linens are not provided—guests may bring their own or rent. This property does not have air conditioning.

Family getaway

Such a sweet stay in pictoresque Wellfleet! This cottage was just perfect for our family vacation. The location is excellent - on the beach and very close to our favorite Wellfleet shops and restaurants. Our basketball players enjoyed the nearby court and running the Great Island Trail in the morning was such a bliss. The small kitchen was very well equipped for the occasional cooking we did, and everything was just as described in the listing. At every point of our booking process we were assisted quickly and in a friendly manner - thank you!

Pleasant Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here a number of times and always enjoyed it. This time it was a little off. The property was not in its usual pristine condition in fact, the master bedroom was completely unkempt.... It was as though someone had hopped out of the bed and ran out the back door as we came in the front. The property manager was great. They apologized profusely and offered to send the housekeeping crew immediately and offered to do whatever it would take to make it right. Unfortunately, my initial experience this time tainted the whole week.

Nice getaway

Great location to everything in Wellfleet and other parts of the cape. My kids loved the beach and it made for some great family days. Only a few negatives. I questioned if the mattress pads were changed, or the blankets were washed. You need to bring seasonings because the ones they have stocked on the wall are old and not useable. And the ice cube tray was falling apart. If you have a baby in a pack n play the space is a little cramped to fit one anywhere. The positives: location was great with a picturesque view of the beach. House was small but useful. We utilized the grill often so the propane being provided was great. The 2 box fans provided were useful. The lower price off season was worth it. Not sure we’d go if it was hotter with no AC.

Lovely stay

one thing - We did have an issue there being garbage piled outside the cottage when we arrived. I called to have it removed, but the removal took so long, the neighbors blamed us for the mess. I explained that is was not our garbage and I did not have the tools to clean it up. So the neighbor cleaned it up. Otherwise, it was wonderful and the neighbor was kind. Thank you.

Waterfront cottage

Our stay in Wellfleet in the Waterfront cottage was comfortable and the location was delightful and convenient. I do suggest that some paper towels, garbage bags and dish cleaning soap and sponge be available. Additionally, when you list coffeemaker in the amenities you should say needs pods since it's a Keurig. I would recommend this cottage to my friends and would stay here again. Thank you!

The best thing about, though, is its location.... Nothing between it , the beach and the horizon!

Beach Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was beautiful and perfectly located. It had all the amenities that we needed and we enjoyed our stay very much. We were disappointed that the stove was not in working order due to electrical issues, but we made due. It was a little concerning, knowing about the electrical issues from the stove, that 1/3 of the other electrical outlets did not function and the ones that did work would often flicker when the lights were on. Overall it was a great vacation and we would like to return.

Great Place But the Stove did not work

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location. Loved the place. The one problemwas that the stove did not work. We were told it would be repaired and we would get some sort of credit. We have not received it yet. I learned to cook our bacon and eggs on the gas grill.

Beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this cottage is outstanding. The surrounding area is awesome. And the ppl were all extremely friendly, esp other cottage owners living on site. We had a blast talking w/ them. The only issues we had was that the house was cleaner when we left than upon our arrival. Sinks (kitchen & bathroom) were not scrubbed, esp around the top / facet handle area. Floors still had debris as if not thoroughly swept or vacuumed. We couldn’t check in until 4pm because of stringent COVID cleaning process and we were completely surprised by the initial appearance. This error falls solely on the cleaning crew being use and not necessarily on rental agent / owner. But I still paid a nice amount of $$$$ to stay here and was the one cleaning the space to prepare for our stuff being brought inside. After I went through and did the cleaning, the rest of our stay was practically perfect. Cottage was very cute. The beach is right there and tons of local restaurants nearby. Although this unit has no AC, several fans were provided (thank goodness- since it was hot!). My only recommendation would be to get rid of all the awkward futon furniture in living room! It was not comfortable seating, looks messy as cushions slide, and clutters the space. A nice smaller sectional would be better with a small coffee table. The rental group was easy to work with and took the time to tell me what we needed to bring (towels & linens) and what was there already. Very friendly group. They had our package ready for pick up on our arrival. Only one house key was provided (no others were in lock box), which made it very difficult when my husband and I would leave separately. We would absolutely stay here again. The issues/recommendations mentioned are to inform the rental group and owner. We have stayed in N. Truro, Truro, and Wellfleet for 25+ years and this was a top favorite spot.
