Recent Wellfleet guest reviews

Our families flew in to visit another family member living on the cape for an early Thanksgiving dinner. There was plenty of room for sleeping and dining. I (personally) loved that the television was in a room downstairs. The kitchen is the most stocked kitchen in a rental property that I've ever had the pleasure of cooking in. It’s so well equipped, we didn't need half of the gear we brought for cooking our big dinner. The property was gorgeous. The home had unexpectedly stunning views. We did catch some beautiful weather, even this late in the fall season. We couldn't have asked for a nicer stay. I hope we, or maybe half of us, can come back soon for warmer weather. Thank you!

Neat, clean, quiet, get away! Back deck gives a decent view for stars at night. Spotless!

First settled by Europeans in the early 1600s, Wellfleet has long been a fishing and whaling mecca, employing thousands in fisheries for generations. Today, the town encompasses 21 square miles, of which 61 percent is on the Cape Cod National Seashore, making it one of the most popular summer playgrounds for Northeasterners looking for beautiful coastal views and tranquil sunsets. Art galleries, cozy restaurants, and mom-and-pop shops abound, and you'll get to experience them all from our inviting Wellfleet vacation rentals.

Things to do in Wellfleet, MA

Wellfleet is known for nature, and with so much protected land, you'll never want for something fun to do outdoors.

There's also a green nature center and exhibits for the whole family.

Day trips from Wellfleet

With an enviable location midway between elbow and tip, this Cape Cod town is close to all the area has to offer. Cultural and sports-centric Boston is only 102 miles away. The towns of Chatham and Eastham, both popular small towns on the Cape, are 40 and 15 minutes away by car, respectively. Gay-friendly Provincetown boasts myriad dining and nightlife options at the tip of the Cape. The tony and celebrity-friendly islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are also a stone's throw away from historic and Kennedy-friendly Hyannis, the area's main transportation hub.

Glorious beaches and warm kettle ponds on protected land await you at our Wellfleet vacation rentals.
