Cozy bayside cottage
Review by Lisa S.
We recently stayed in Welfleeter number 1 and you simply can’t beat this location as it is right next to the water. The unit itself was cozy and clean upon our arrival. It is well stocked with kitchen items and there are plenty of pillows and blankets. The full sized bed is extremely firm, so something to be aware of if that’s a problem for you. Additionally, the futons in the living room are very hard to get comfortable in, but the location and view make up for those drawbacks. There is a community bench located steps away from the cottage and it is a great place to sit, watch the birds and sunfish, and relax. The 4 beach chairs are a great addition as we used them frequently to sit on the beach. We will definitely be back!

From our lake to the Cape
Review by
Considering that Barb and I have never visited the Cape before, our experience was was great. Friends had provided some suggestions as to restaurants, and activities which was very helpful. The staff at the rental office was very helpful with additional suggestions and information/attitude guides that were very useful. We live on a lake in central New York and so our expectations were framed a bit by that. Any expectations we had were exceeded. The restaurants were amazing and the seafood selections outstanding. The hiking trails, beach walks, biking trails were scenic and interesting. We wished that we could have taken one of the kayak tours but the season for that had closed. Our rental cottage was great and had a fantastic view of the beach and the bay. Just watching the tides come and go was fascinating. All in all we would certainly consider a return trip at some time in the future.

Wonderful Visit - With a Warning
Review by
We loved the location and the cottage. Great town, beaches, restaurants, shops, hiking trails and atmosphere. Wonderful to be right on the bay! The cottage was in fine shape and well stocked with dishes, pans, blankets, etc. Nice sized main room. Very quiet even during the big storm. But be warned: if you don't like an ultra-firm mattress, better bring a mattress topper. All the mattresses were very difficult to sleep comfortably on. It's the only negative amid lots of great positives. But it's a really big negative. My wife and I recommend it, but with a serious warning.

Beautiful location
Review by Susan K.
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.

Family vacation
Review by Amanda M.
We loved the location of this property. Within walking distance to many great restaurants. Being on the bay was great. The kids enjoyed swimming at high tide and looking for critters at low tide. We could usually hear the waves from our window as we fell asleep at night. The house did get uncomfortably hot during the day when then outside temperature was in the upper 80's, but we were at the beach then anyway. There were plenty of hooks located throughout the house to hang towels and swim suits. There is also a community clothes line, bike rack and kayak rack for you to use. The furniture was uncomfortable, especially the beds. The community was peaceful and relaxing. We definitely would like to stay on the area again. The property manager was very responsive and check-in was easy. We were given a lot of information about the rental and area.

lovely house and location, many condo rules
Review by
The cottage was lovely. It is small but cute and clean. Beach just outside the door. The tides are fun and there are plenty of sea life to observe. Short walk to Wellfleet center and many shops and restaurants. Bike trail and hiking close by. There are outdoor chairs in a shed next to cottage but no table to eat outside. Would suggest bringing a folding table for outdoors as the view is beautiful. Also bring paper products and soaps as these were not stocked at the house. It is not the best place for children as there are strict condo rules about no playing on the grass, no ball play, no scooters/bikes on sidewalks, and all personal items must be picked up from yard and put back in the house when not actively using. We, along with the other renters with children, were reminded of these rules by the summer long residents. There is a playground about a 10 min walk down the street and the beach was just outside the door. So, there are locations to play for children just not directly in the condo area. The cottages are very close together and the rules are likely to attempt to keep everyone comfortable, just challenging with children that want to run and play, which you might want them to do on vacation.

Excellent

Wonderful vacation!
Review by
We stayed at 275 Kendrick -a small cottage in the Wellfleeter Condo Complex. The two- bedroom condo was clean, cute and steps away to the beach! The area is quaint, with Wellfleet Center, Wellfleet Harbor and a delicious seafood takeout stand within strolling distance. The water in Wellfleet Bay is SO warm, we spent a lot of time in the ocean. Would LOVE to go back!
