About this property

Come enjoy Cape Cod, while only steps away from beautiful Drummer Cove in Wellfleet. Relax at home, with bay front views, or venture out to the best beaches on the Cape-- just a mile away! Less than 5 minutes from Wellfleet Center and 20 from Provincetown.

The Space
Charming 1950s cottage just steps from the shores of Drummer Cove. This cozy house is perfect for couples and small family getaways. Relax on the front deck, or in the hammock with beautiful views of the cove and Cape Cod Bay. Indoor and outdoor dining space. Outdoor shower with bay view. The perfect Cape Cod retreat!

The Neighborhood
Drummer Cove is a unique and beautiful bayside community located just outside of Wellfleet center. The cottage is just north of the Audubon's Wildlife Sanctuary and a short drive, bike ride, or walk to the Atlantic side where you can enjoy the incredible dunes, beach, and waves of Lecount Hollow and the Cape Cod National Seashore. On your way back from the beach, enjoy dinner at PB Boulangerie Bistro, one the best restaurants in the area, or drive 5 minutes and you are in charming Wellfleet Center with its many attractions.

We have 2 kayaks with paddles and life vests for guests to enjoy. They are located under the front porch where they are locked. The code to unlock is posted in the one page of instructions on the fridge and in entryway. After kayak use, please rinse off kayaks with the hose located under the house next to the outdoor shower- where you can attach it to the water source. Please leave kayaks locked at all times when not in use.. *WARNING* DO NOT leave on a kayak adventure while the tide is going out or durning low tide. The safest time to set out for a paddle is two hours before high tide. Leaving when the tide going out could result in getting stranded in four feet of mud!!

Getting around
Walking distance to Lecount Hollow beach, short drive to other ocean side beaches. Walk along the shores of Drummer Cove. Wellfleet center is less than 5 minute drive away, Provincetown only 25 minutes, other attractions such as Welfleet Drive-In theater less than 10 minute drive. As a renter you are able to purchase Wellfleet Beach Passes at the town beach office-- we will provide all appropriate paper work.

Welfleet cottage on the marsh

Lovely little hidden gem. Rustic cottage with everything needed. Many other cottages around, but you really don’t even know they’re there because you have a beautiful view of the marsh from Lovely deck. Again.

Should have been better.

Uncontrollable mice issue, even though the property interior was to start, after one night, we knew we were no alone. Mice droppings everywhere, including food preparation areas. Obviously, this is an issue with the property and the owner was aware of it, as he has made attempts to control the issue, electronically, though with no success. We even bought mechanical traps ourselves during week, with no success. What’s the story on the colored water(brown)? Saw multiple used water filters lying on the ground. We have stayed in multiple properties in Wellsfleet and not had this issue previously? We had a good week, but feel the property owner is not telling it like it really is.

Nice house, quiet area

It's a pleasant house, convenient to Route 6. Had everything we needed. Note that the cove is NOT swimmable; deep, sticky mud. The kayaks must be dragged down and then up a steep hill through brush. The only thing that bothered us was about trash disposal. The dumpster is very difficult to open and close, and there was no way to recycle bottles and cans; we were told to just throw them away. (We ended up driving to the National Seashore for its recycling bins.) Otherwise, a nice place with beautiful views of the cove. A huge tom turkey roosted at night in a tree near the house!

Charming cottage with great view

The cottage was very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. lovely view overlooking the cove. Enjoyed a glass of wine in the Adirondacks chair in the late afternoon and before dinner. Really loved the outdoor shower. The host was very responsive to my questions.
