About this property
Renovated Waterfront Haven on Wellfleet Harbor (2172)
***Newly Renovated for 2026*** Tucked away at the waters edge, just outside of town where land meets the sea, this beautifully updated six-bedroom, three-bath waterfront home captures the timeless charm of Cape Cod living. With sweeping views of Great Island and Wellfleet Harbor, this special retreat offers the perfect balance of relaxed coastal elegance and modern luxury.
Step inside and feel the light and sea air pour into the newly renovated living spaces. Enjoy the soaring cathedral ceilings, whitewashed walls, and expansive windows create a bright, open environment where the beauty of the harbor becomes part of the décor. At the heart of the home, the newly designed kitchen blends contemporary finishes with beachside simplicity, opening seamlessly to the airy dining and family room, a space meant for gathering, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Beyond the living area, large glass doors lead to an expansive waterfront deck, where each evening brings a new masterpiece of color as the sun sets over the harbor. A private boardwalk and stairway invite you down to the sandy beach below, where you can stroll the shoreline, launch a kayak, or simply listen to the rhythm of the waves.
The home’s thoughtful layout offers both comfort and privacy for families and guests. On the main level, you’ll find a serene primary suite with king bed and renovated en suite bath, two additional queen bedrooms, and a cozy office with a futon, perfect for quiet reading or remote work. A second beautifully updated full bath completes this level.
Up the spiral staircase awaits a second primary suite, complete with a king bed and private bath, while a lofted bunk room with two twin trundle beds provide a cheerful, tucked-away space for younger guests.
Throughout the home, ductless air conditioning, modern furnishings, and careful design touches ensure every stay is as comfortable as it is memorable. With owner approval, even your four-legged family member is welcome to join in on the fun with an added fee.
Now proudly part of our Luxury Collection, this waterfront gem embodies the best of Cape Cod, where breezy afternoons on the deck, barefoot walks on the sand, and long, laughter-filled dinners under the stars become treasured memories.
Come experience the magic of Wellfleet Harbor from this reimagined seaside retreat, a home that feels both timeless and new, offering a front-row seat to the beauty and serenity of Cape Cod. Available for 3 night minimums off season with an added cleaning fee. Cleaning fee included in bookings of 7 nights or more. An administrative fee and applicable taxes may apply. Linens provided.

My family and I had a wonderful two week stay at this bayside home. The location is excellent with sweeping views of the bay and the dramatic daily tidal shifts of 12 feet! We rented a sunfish and paddle-boards which we could launch from the property. The house layout is conducive to seeing the view from the kitchen/great room. We would return!

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beach house. You never have to leave the property to enjoy a beach vacation!
We had a really good stay in this rental.
The view of the bay from the back deck is absolutely stunning -- maybe the best in Wellfleet. The deck has a large seating area around a dining table, which is covered by a roof, an adjacent sunny area with chairs and chaises, and a well maintained boardwalk that leads directly onto the beach. Also an outdoor shower, which was very popular. All of this made for a really nice and beautiful outdoor experience.
The interior is large, especially the family room area and kitchen.
The upstairs master suite is large with a nice-sized bathroom and a private deck. The views are beautiful from there. The other rooms were fine.
The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and all the cooking implements you would need. And there is a grill.
Our only complaint was the water supply to the house. The write-up at the house stated clearly that drinking the tap water was not recommended because of the house's proximity to the Chequessett Golf Club. This should have been disclosed, so that people can factor in the time, trouble and expense of buying bottled water. We wish we had known this in advance, and would have preferred that the real estate agent had not spent time insisting that the water was fine -- just a small matter of taste. It wasn't drinkable. If we had understood this in advance, it would not have affected our decision to rent the house, but we would have been prepared. But otherwise, great.
Otherwise, this is a fabulous spot.
A wonderful stay at a beautiful, well-equipped, and well-maintained property with unparalleled location. Breathtaking views. Perfect for all ages and life stages.
Lovely property although a little tiredCould not have a more well equipped property and generous hostWorked beautifully with two very small grandchildren and love the town of Wellfleet
Well equipped and beautiful location. Spacious enough for 6 adults, 4 kids and 1 dog. Right on the water. Loved it!

Our third time here so not much else to say, we love it. I don't think there's another property quite like it.
The property is beautiful and is perfect for an isolated getaway. They also allow dogs which was wonderful. The VRBO says linens are included and they weren't. That was the fault of the property manager not the property owner. We had a lovely time with swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding not to mention just being lazy in the comfy house.
What a spectacular view! Waking up and having coffee on the deck, walking on the beach and kayaking were a few highlights. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, having every utensil imaginable. One downside was that the mattresses were not up to par considering the cost of the rental. Several people woke up with back problems from sleeping on “prison” like mattresses. Several adults had to use two mattresses leaving one person without a mattress. The owners could furnish each bed with a luxury mattress for a fifth of one week’s rent. It must be said that the master suite was referred to as the Taj Mahal due to its beauty and comfort. The only other negative thing was that the drinking water tasted terrible and we had to buy all of our drinking water. In summary, replace all of the mattresses except the master bedroom and you will receive five stars.
Amazing property, great private beach, plus allows dogs! Perfect, thank you.

Reviewer Comments:
The check in policy is ridiculous we waited in parking lot perhaps 7 other families til they opened at 3:45 and give you nothing more than an envelope and that had only 2 pieces of paper in it. The ride is long then to wait is very unwelcoming. I kept asking if they supplied linens they kept repeating only blanket mattress pads so I spent lots to rent sheets. It had plenty of towels and sheets. Not consistent with info.
