Oceanside Cottage - Walk to Beach & Bike Trail
Wellfleet Vacation Rental - ID 7419

We are a family of 4 and this is our 4th and best family vacation at the Cape! The location of this home is a short walk to a fantastic beach on the National Seashore as well as terrific food, the rail trail, and a bike rental shop. It's also nicely located for good food, proximity to whale watching out of Provincetown, lighthouses etc. The home owners are kind, down to earth, and resourceful. The home was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. We loved the outdoor shower and well-stocked kitchen. We definitely will be coming back!

Spent a week at the Oceanside Cottage and would definitely return. Prime location in Wellfleet. Short drive to the beach and to the village as well as walking distance to restaurants. House was clean and comfortable (heat pump AC in living area as well as two bedrooms).

Owners lived next door and were very friendly and amenable.

We were thrilled to come back to John & Lorraine's cottage in Wellfleet! Great experience overall from booking to checkout. Location is top notch- near everything, restaurants, beaches and shopping. The house was super clean, comfortable and well appointed. We made several meals at the house and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. John and Lorraine are great hosts, available if needed but give folks their privacy. Five stars!

At the end of June, my family and I stayed for a week at John and Loraine's beach cottage. This was the second year in-a-row that we rented this cottage and we will be renting it again. The location is convenient to all Wellfleet has to offer. We were able to enjoy the National Seashore, the bay beaches, and the kettle ponds easily. The location is also near family-friendly restaurants, a market, and the best boulagerie in the state. The cottage is fully equipped with anything you could possibly need from a clothing iron to an oyster shucker. The furnishings are comfortable and everything is clean and well kept. John and Loraine were very easy to work with and we look forward to renting from them again.

My husband and I just had our third stay at this lovely home in Wellfleet. The location is perfect as it's near the ocean side beaches and a very quick drive into Wellfleet Center & Harbor. The open layout is bright and attractive and the back deck is a peaceful spot for morning coffee. John and Lorraine are responsive and full of great tips for the outer cape.
We're already looking forward to returning next year.

Our stay was extremely comfortable! The hospitality of the owners and roomy interior were the highlights. Everything was clean the houseand easily accommodates 2 families.

My family (2 adults & 2 kids -- ages 7 & 4.5) have stayed at John & Lorraine's cottage for the past two summers ('21 & '22) and we couldn't be happier with each of our 2-week stays! We come to the Cape every summer and we've never stayed anywhere more than once...except here AND we've already booked another 2 weeks for Summer 2023!

It's a great location, central to everything in Wellfleet and a short ride to P-Town and other Cape towns. Beautiful beaches and lovely fresh water ponds are just a few minutes drive down the road.

The 3 bedroom cottage itself has everything you'd need for your stay. Great outdoor shower and plenty of room to spread out. Living area with a comfy couch for tv viewing and a large 6 person table for meals. Great deck in the backyard. Sunroom is lovely for sitting and reading or working remotely if needed. Skylights allow plenty of natural sunlight into the rooms and the 3 split AC units cool the rooms very nicely.

John & Lorraine are the perfect hosts. Very responsive and accommodating. Anything you need, they are a phone call away or if they are in town, right next door. We can't recommend this cottage enough!

My daughter and her two boys and I stayed at this cottage for our second Wellfleet week and were amazed at how lovely it was after spending our first week in a smaller, less bright cottage. The open design was so refreshing and interior decor and furniture comfortable and beautifully done. The back deck was delightful for morning coffee or evening relaxing. The owners were next door throughout our stay and very gracious and friendly, though unobtrusive, respecting our privacy. We were able to use our favorite beach, Lecount Hollow though driving necessary as too much of a hike for this old lady! Luckily the parking lot for the beach was not very full so gracious attendants let us in with our town beach sticker, though Lecount is meant to be for residents only. The same occurred later in the week after my family left and friends came to visit for whom I'd purchased a beach pass. All enjoyed staying here and I'd definitely consider future stays. Thank you to Lorraine and John for helping us to feel welcome and relaxed! Barbara

We had a wonderful stay here and hope to return. The home is immaculate and extremely well appointed. Beautiful back deck, outdoor shower and grill. The kitchen was spotless and had everything we needed, lovely sunroom/office, comfortable bedrooms - with quiet AC splits, a lovely bonus on hot nights.
We loved the location; it was central to all the things we wanted to do on the outer Cape- very close to Lecount Hollow. John and Lorraine were wonderful hosts, responsive and helpful, while we were also afforded our privacy.
Great spot, beautiful and comfortable home. We love coming to Wellfleet and this was the perfect location, thank you!

We have been renting here for 3 seasons and love it! The house is well furnished, clean and quiet. It had a great back patio and access to chairs and umbrellas if needed. The owners are wonderful people, very easy to work with, very helpful and very knowledgeable locally.
The location is great for the ocean beaches, with one walking distance away. There is a great coffee and pastry shop nearby and the center of town is 5-10 minutes away depending on traffic.
Great place for family and friends!

We really enjoyed our time at Lorainne and John's place in Wellfleet. The location was perfect for visiting the beach, bay and kettle ponds. There are so many amazing nearby restaurants, cafes, and markets. The house is beautifully kept and is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Loraine and John were very quick to respond to our questions and needs. We highly recommend this property and will be booking again.

Special thanks to our host Lorraine and John. You gave us a great time in your house next to your own place. We never felt observed but could always pass by and ask for information or our special needs.
Wellfleet itself is a beautiful location, close to both sides of the peninsula, beaches, restaurants, bakery etc. We also enjoyed our trips to Provincetown, whalewatching and our running starting at home. A great time to stay, highest recommendation.

My husband and I were delighted to stay at the Oceanside Cottage again this year. The location is perfect- very close to LeCount Hollow which saves all the traversing of Rte 6 on busy days and makes it so much easier to wake early to watch the sunrise at the beach! The clean and spacious cottage had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Wellfleet. John and Lorraine are wonderful to work with-we're so glad we found this spot and are already looking forward to next year.

We've been visiting the Cape for over 20 years and this charming home is our new favorite. Comfortable, spacious and well-equipped...and no crossing Rt 6 to get to the Ocean side beaches! Everything we needed for a perfectly relaxing vacation. Very close to the boulangerie, Lecount Hollow beach, the Cedar Swamp trail, and a quick drive to many favorite restaurants and the Flea Market, too. We're already looking forward to our next stay.

Terrific house for a family of 4 to 6. House is in a great location, within a 5 minute walk to bakeries, liquor store, and bike rental. Plus, air conditioning! We have stayed at six different houses in Wellfleet, and this is the only one we've rented twice.

This was our second stay, last year we postponed because of covid. It was lovely to be back in this very clean, spacious and well maintained home. It is perfectly located and the owners next door are friendly and welcoming. We hope to be coming back every year.

My husband and I really enjoyed our two week stay at this cottage in Wellfleet. The cottage has an open floor plan, attractive decor, and air conditioning. The kitchen has everything you need for meals at home. There is also a deck out back.
We bike a lot and enjoyed the easy access to the Cape Bike Trail. It's also a short bike ride up to the ocean beaches.
We already look forward to our next vacation there.

This house was a great fit for our family of four. Updated, clean, with everything we needed. Short drive to ocean beach. Walk to bike shop, liquor store, and bakeries. Owners are very friendly, and made sure we were comfortable.

This house was perfect for a family of 4--it felt surprisingly spacious, with a lot of common room both inside and out. We loved eating on the outside deck. The location is perfect for access to the ocean beaches and ponds--very easy to bike (or walk) to the beach. The inside of the house is really nice and well kept.

We've been staying at the Cottage for more years than I can remember--maybe 10 now? Our week in July is the highlight of our year. The only "normal" thing about 2020 was our escape to Wellfleet. The cottage was SUPER clean (as it always is) and readied for our stay with wipes/disinfectant etc. We were very comfortable and felt extremely safe.

The cottage is within walking distance to the beach (a big plus this year!) and is, in our opinion, in one of the best locations in Wellfleet. Close to the everything but on a lovely side road. The cottage itself is well maintained, new bathroom and A/C. The kitchen is open and inviting. Great for reading the paper (and for those who may have to do some work while there). Internet is super fast. The back deck is an oasis! Quiet and sunny-perfect for before beach breakfast.

Can't say enough about our hosts and their attention to detail. Overall a wonderful place to vacation. We love it so much we now rent a second week in September. Can't do better than the Cottage!!

"Cottage" is a deceiving name for this beautiful house. Inside it is so open and roomy with vaulted ceilings. Completely renovated top to bottom with modern and tasteful finishes, decor and furniture. Owners Lorraine and John were so great to work with and made the whole rental process so easy. This was the first year we rented on the Cape after many years of staying in hotels. Our children are older teens now, so it makes more sense to spread out in a house, and this was the perfect match for us. We are a family of four. Two adults, two teens. One brought a friend for part of the week, so the three bedrooms were key. The instruction booklet they leave for renters is very informative and tells you everything from where to put the trash, to good restaurants to try nearby.

We are very familiar to the area, so we knew how fantastic this location was before we even got there. Access to bike trail is right across the street - practically at the driveway of the house. The beautiful LeCount Hollow beach is right at the end of the street - no waiting in beach traffic, which is a huge bonus on Cape Cod! There is beach traffic every day on Route 6, and, the fact that this house sits off route 6 on the Ocean side, on a road that leads to several world renowned beaches, is so convenient. The Bay side of Wellfleet is just across Route 6 and is also a beautiful place to spend time shopping and eating at many great restaurants, or going to a Bayside beach.

The house has so many things that a lot of other rentals don't - like a washer and dryer, beautiful deck out back that wraps around to side door entrance to the house, back deck is very private with fence on one side and wooded hills surrounding the rest. There is an outdoor fireplace, an indoor fireplace ( if you stay off season), an outdoor shower - which even has warm water! My son and husband took their showers outside a couple days just to give me the bathroom time. The Ductless built in AC keeps the house nice and cool. Very user friendly with remotes for each unit. There is wifi and a flat screen TV with cable. It truly felt like a home away from home for the week for us. There is also a shed big enough to store your bikes, which also comes with several beach chairs you can use if you forget your own.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The only things we had to bring were sheets, towels, and some groceries. The owners also own the cottage next door, which is where they stay, so we got a chance to meet them. Super nice people who were a pleasure to talk with. They are easy to find/contact if you need them, but never felt like we didn't have privacy. The two places are far enough apart, and they have done a great job of designing the outdoor spaces to have complete privacy.
Looking forward to staying here again!

We have stayed on the Cape at least a half-dozen summers, most often in Wellfleet. This was our most enjoyable visit. The home was newly renovated, well-appointed, clean and in the most convenient location. The owners were friendly, informative and accommodating.
The ability to walk to the beach every morning is quite a benefit.

We have been renting on Cape Cod for over 30 years and have been renting the this cottage on LeCount Hollow Road for the last 8 years! We absolutely love it. They are the most hands on, lovely people who are receptive to all suggestions--not that there are very many to make. The newly renovated cottage--A/C, new bathroom, new floors, completely repainted, new carpets, etc. is fantastic. We enjoyed the "old" cottage and the new enhancements make it even more of a home away from home.

The location can't be beat--just a few minutes from the beach by car (you could walk if so inclined) and easy to get into the heart of Wellfleet. The cottage is suitable for couples and families. Spacious enough to spread out inside and the newly re-done back deck is the perfect place to entertain friends lucky enough to be vacationing near by. It's always a gamble when renting a vacation house--but not here! This rental (maintained and lovingly cared for) is a sure thing.

We have been staying here for about 15 years and absolutely love so many things about this cottage. We thought it couldn't get much better, but the owners, John and Lorraine, completely renovated it this year! AMAZING. AC was key this year when we were there during a heat wave. New deck, bathroom, floors, furniture! One of the best features of the cottage remains its location - across from the bike path, right near our favorite morning stop - the Blue Willow (our kids are old enough to walk there now!), less than a mile to Lecount Hollow/Maguires Landing beach, a few miles from Beachcomber and our favorite kettle ponds. So many great memories made over the years! Can't say enough good things.

We loved this cottage. It was perfect for our family of 5. We have three kids between the ages of 8 and 4. They were all very comfortable. The area is perfect - close to the beaches and bike trail. Close to town, mini golfing, restaurants, etc. The cottage is very clean and that impressed me. I would recommend staying here. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back again.

Note : ALL REVIEWS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT OVER FROM HOMEAWAY AS WE LISTED WITH THEM THE LAST 2 YEARS !

We have been renting at this same location for years and every year we discover new things that we love about Wellfleet and being here. We ventured out a little further on our bikes this year and the convenience to the bike path was awesome! The kids loved walking with us to get our coffee at Blue Willow each morning - then we would hop in the car to the end of the road and see what the beach looked like for the day. We wouldn't stay anywhere else!!

This cottage is in a great location within walking distance to the bike trail , a little grocery store, bakery, restaurant and about a mile down the road is La Count Beach. The National Seashore and kettle ponds are nearby where my family likes to hike the trails and kayak. We enjoy exploring the shops, flea market and restaurant in Wellfleet. The cottage itself is clean and stocked with all you would need from dishes and kitchen gadgets to washer and dryer. The owners were helpful in recommending places to eat and activities happening around surrounding towns. My family have rented this cottage many times over the years and always have had a wonderful time.

This cottage was perfect for our my daughters, a couple friends and myself. We were about a 12 minute walk to Lecount Beach, which is absolutely beautiful and not very crowded. If you prefer to drive to the beach, parking was not an issue. The parking lot only seemed to be a max capacity after noonish. We were about a 2 minute walk to the bike trail and Wellfleet market. The cottage was spacious, clean, and well stocked. It also has a nice backyard for outside dining. We absolutely will return. We loved the cottage and Wellfleet!

We had an amazing week! The cottage was perfect for our family of 5 and had everything we needed. Walk to General Store, 2 minute drive to the beach. Owners were super nice and very accommodating.

This vacation rental is super and everything a Cape rental should be. It's well located, convenient to town and within minutes of the amazing Wellfleet beaches. The house is extremely well kept and comfortable. There is plenty of room to spread out including my favorite wicker room where you can escape to read a good book or play a game. The outdoor shower off the rear deck is great. The owners are wonderful and accommodating. We've been renting this house (both with our 3 children and alone) for a number of years and would recommend it to all, If one of the bedrooms had a king size bed--we'd probably never leave at the end of our rental! You cannot go wrong here.

Comfortable house with all necessities supplied including a shed with boogie boards. Great newer kitchen with large table and lovely skylights. We loved the outdoor fireplace in the yard. Drinking beer after the beach and toasting marshmallows was fun. Back deck large and outside shower good although both could use some refinishing due to some soggy and splintered wood. Overall fabulous vacation house. Walk to ocean beach is quick!

We had a fantastic vacation in Cape Cod while staying at this home! It is walking distance to a great ocean beach, a general store, a bike rental company and a yummy bakery and restaurant. The house was very cozy, and the owners were wonderful to work with. You have to provide your own sheets, towels, laundry detergent and toilet paper, but that wasn't in issue with this location in a more relaxed part of the Cape. We can't wait to go back!

We had such a great time! The location is incredible; so close to all of our favorites - Maguire's Landing beach at the end of the street, short walk to the so. Wellfleet marketplace, PB Boulangerie, Blue Willow, the bike path and a short drive to the Audobon and the Beachcomber. The cottage had everything we needed for our family of 5! We will be back here again for sure!
