Private Setting with Beautiful Views of Drummer Cove
South Wellfleet Vacation Rental - ID 26768

The Drummer Cove cottage was a great place to spend a week on Cape Cod. Most mornings we had coffee on the patio with a nice ocean breeze coming off of the cove. Then headed out to the ocean and cape beaches for the afternoon, or a 20 minute ride to P-town, or a nice bike ride on the rail-trail. Then back to the cottage for dinner in, or to get ready for dinner out. Very comfortable and relaxing. I should mention the French bakery down the road, really special. Can't wait to stay here again.

We absolutely loved staying here the first week of July this summer. The house itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed: various spots to read and hang out, a well-appointed kitchen, and an excellent patio where we drank our morning coffee and afternoon cocktails while staring out at the beautiful tidal cove. It was also nice to be so close to some of our favorite local spots: Duck Pond, LeCount Hollow Beach and the bike trail. I wish we could have stayed for another week!

We were fortunate to spend a late August week at this wonderful cottage Wellfleet. You have an awesome view of Drummer Cove from this quiet and secluded location off of Route 6. It's a quick trip to Wellfleet beaches and if you like to bike there is easy access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The cottage is simply appointed with a well equipped kitchen, and plenty of comfortable places to relax and read or just enjoy the quiet and view. It was a pleasure working with the owner on the rental process. We're very happy that we stayed here and hope our travels bring us back again.

Wonderfully located in Wellfleet---near to great beaches, great hiking trails (within 15 minutes) and fabulous PB Boulangerie. This charming cottage overlooks Drummer Cove where you awaken to birdsong, a lovely view and a refreshing breeze. The cottage is large enough for a family to spread out to a comfortable corner to read, do a puzzle or nap, yet still feel cozy enough to come together to cook dinner and play board games. The outdoor shower is a gem. The four season porch and adjacent patio overlooking Drummer Cove lends quality living space to your overall experience. The hammock and ability to have meals outdoors with the provided picnic table was "icing on the cake". We loved our time and hope to return next year.

We were fortunate enough to find this property while we were searching or a last minute getaway. Booking was really easy and the property owner was really lovely to work with. We arrived to spacious, clean place with a view to die for. We enjoyed lounging in the hammock and enjoyed spending the evenings enjoying the sunset with cocktails! We would highly recommend this property and look forward to a return trip.

We spent a close to perfect vacation week here this past August. Our favorite place to relax, read and enjoy the birds was right on the deck overlooking the tidal cove. The house is comfortable and welcoming. The location is secluded enough to savor the quiet but close enough to the center of Wellfleet, the beaches and restaurants so that everything is minutes away. We only wish that we could have stayed another week!

This home's location is just lovely, in a wooded area on Drummer's Cove, that is perfect for a relaxing, tranquil vacation. It was fascinating to sit in the sunroom, or out on the deck, and watch the constantly changing view as the tide drifted in and out of the cove. In the yard, we saw wild turkeys and rabbits, but not people. The cottage has a very private and secluded vibe even though it is right off Route 6.

The house itself is clean and comfortable, and stocked with all the basics. The pictures are current and depict just what the rooms look like. The many windows let in the sea breeze to keep the home cool and comfortable on a hot day. I have been going to the Upper Cape all my life, but I had never explored the Outer Cape much. During our week, my family had fun trying out nearby seafood restaurants, visiting shops in Wellfleet and Provincetown, and beach hopping. Access to the nearby LeCount Hollow Beach is a little tricky, with its huge dune to hike down and back up, but it is certainly beautiful. We preferred lounging on the bay side beaches with their super warm water and much easier access when hauling chairs and umbrellas, etc. Mel was easy to work with, so anyone looking for peace and quiet, in a very private setting would enjoy this rental.

We love Cape Cod and especially the Outer Cape. This home is in a perfect location for our annual vacation - easy distance from ocean beaches and ponds as well as the bay; walking distance from the bike trail and a famous bakery. Convenient to the Wellfleet Audubon, P-town, Chatham. Sunsets while barbecuing, outdoor shower after a day at the beach, isolated setting is perfect. We have been coming here for 6 years and will continue to for many years. Let's keep Wellfleet our secret.

I have stayed in this cottage multiple times, always thoroughly enjoying it and never wanting to leave. The view of Drummer Cove is even better in real life than it is in the picture. Very therapeutic to sit on the deck with a book and take in the view, hearing only the sounds of nature. That said, the handy General Store and the delicious French bakery are right across the street, and the charming town of Wellfleet is a five-minute drive away. I can’t wait to go back!

Don't let the Route 6 address fool you. As soon as you turn up the long driveway, you'll find yourself in a private, idyllic locale overlooking Drummer Cove, a tidal inlet that changes with the tides. You'll feel like you have Wellfleet all to yourself with hardly any neighbors in sight.

The house is clean and simple and furnished with everything you'll need. We loved hanging out in the sunroom and drinking coffee on the deck, and taking naps in the hammock between the pine trees. You can walk from the house to PB's Boulangerie and the head of the Wellfleet rail trail. LeCount Hollow Beach and Duck Pond are only a mile or so away. It's also fun to walk down to the cove at low tide to see the hermit and horseshoe crabs. If you have kids, there's lots of space outside for them to run around. This is a relaxing spot and a real gem. We felt very fortunate to have discovered it and plan to return as often as we can.

Cape Cod is one of our favorite spots and this cottage is a hidden gem! It is tucked away in a private spot overlooking Drummer Cove, yet close to anywhere one would like to go in Wellfleet! We loved early walks to the beach (about a mile down Lecount Hollow Road), with a stop for coffee at the South Wellfleet General Store or a sweet treat at PB Boulangerie on the way back. Our kids loved the Wellfleet Drive-In, ice cream at the Harbor, swimming at the ponds as well as jumping in the waves at the back shore. Ending the day with a glass of wine and a book on the deck or in the hammock, with the wonderful view of the Cove, was perfect! The cottage is welcoming and comfortable, and Mel made our visit easy and enjoyable. We can't wait to get back!

My kids and I have visited the Cape nearly every year of their lives (kids are now 15 and 13). We love the location of this cottage! It is walking distance to LeCount Hollow (a.k.a. "big wave place" with fantastic dunes and surf) and a short drive away from Mayo Beach (the warmer and calmer bay side).

We love walking through the woods and across the street to the quaint general store for muffins and deli sandwiches or PB Boulangerie for pastries and coffee. Also within walking distance is the head of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, a wonderful bike trail which extends through multiple other quaint towns.

After a day at the beach or exploring the galleries and shops in Wellfleet, we love to retreat to the quiet cottage, to lie in the hammock under the pines, sit on the deck to admire Drummer's Cove, or play games on the cozy sunporch. We love the upstairs bedrooms; I find myself hoping for rain during our visits, because there's nothing like hearing the pitter patter of the rain on the roof! The cottage is clean, bright and airy. The outdoor shower is a nice perk! This cottage is a perfect spot for a family hoping to make memories that will last a lifetime!
