The house is available to rent April through November; scroll down for dates. Please note: this is a no-smoking house. All rates include end-of-stay professional cleaning. If you plan to stay for more than a week and would like additional cleaning during your vacation, we’re happy to arrange this for you. Please read our cancellation policy below (bottom of page).
Your signed lease and deposit (50% rental cost plus 50% security deposit) ensure that we reserve your desired week(s) and stop advertising them to other prospective renters. The remaining balance is due 5 weeks before your arrival date.
Note: Due to MA’s new lodging tax, all bookings will incur an additional 12.45% tax. This applies to rentals across the state; it is not unique to Wellfleet.

Cancellation Policy
Your signed lease and deposit (50% rental cost plus 50% security deposit) ensure that we reserve your desired week(s) and stop advertising them to other prospective renters.
If you have to cancel for any reason, our policy is as follows:
- If we are able to rent your week(s) to another tenant at the same price you paid, you get 100% of your money back.
- If you cancel late enough that we have to offer a discount to rent the house, then we refund all of your money except the difference between the original price and the last-minute discounted price.
- If you don’t show up or cancel so late that we cannot rent the house at all, you will not receive a refund. Please show up and enjoy!
Why this policy?
First and foremost because many families are looking forward to a beach vacation and we want to make sure that our house is rented by folks who will use it, love it, and care for it like we do, not let it sit empty. Furthermore, this house has been in our family for generations and has needed some rather costly improvements after 45+ years. These include:
- New forced hot-air furnace and central air conditioning system with ductwork throughout the house (2007)
- New flooring (2008)
- Custom water filtration system (2009)
- New and enlarged mahogany deck (2010)
- New roof and sliding glass doors (2011)
- Main floor bathroom renovation (2012)
- Appliances (including new French-door refrigerator and smart TV in 2013)
- New Title V septic system (nothing wrong with the old one, just time for an update in 2013)
Rental fees help to finance these improvements and keep the house running smoothly, so everyone can enjoy a pristine, updated house. Welcome to our home!
