Compass Rose Cottage – A Classic Cape Cod Retreat

Welcome to Compass Rose Cottage, a charming beach retreat built in the 1940s and nestled in the picturesque town of Wellfleet. This cozy two-bedroom cottage is ideal for couples or a small family looking to experience the natural beauty and relaxed pace of Cape Cod.

Located just 10 minutes from the National Seashore and less than a mile from Indian Neck Beach, you’ll have easy access to sandy shores, scenic trails, and all the best the Cape has to offer.

Inside, the cottage features warm hardwood floors, cathedral wood-beamed ceilings, and skylights that bring in plenty of natural light. The well-equipped kitchen includes an electric stove, microwave, and coffee maker, making it easy to prepare meals. Enjoy indoor dining for four or take your meals outside on the spacious deck, where you can grill fresh seafood from the local Wellfleet market. Unwind in the hammock under the trees or relax on the deck, taking in the peaceful surroundings.

The newly renovated bathroom features a handcrafted wood sink, adding a unique Cape Cod touch. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the spacious outdoor shower—a must-have for a true Cape experience. The cottage is equipped with WiFi and a Roku-enabled TV, allowing you to log into your own streaming accounts. Beach chairs are provided, so just pack your swimsuit and sunscreen.

Tucked away in Pilgrim Acres, a quiet community of seven historic cottages, the setting is tranquil, with birdsong in the morning and the occasional wild rabbit passing through. A short walk or three-minute drive takes you to Burton Baker Beach, a great spot for kayaking or paddleboarding. The Cape Cod Bike Trail is nearby, with a rental shop just five minutes away.

Wellfleet’s town center, just ten minutes away, offers charming shops, art galleries, and excellent dining. Wellfleet Harbor, about a fifteen-minute drive, is perfect for enjoying fresh seafood, waterfront dining, and live summer music. The Wellfleet Drive-in Theater and Flea Market is also nearby, offering a nostalgic Cape experience. For those looking to explore further, Provincetown is only fifteen miles away, with whale watching, vibrant nightlife, and more.

At 444 square feet, this cottage is a cozy and affordable option for those who want to spend their days at the beach or exploring the Cape. It retains the rustic charm of old Cape Cod while offering modern conveniences like WiFi and streaming TV.
