Charming historical 2-bedroom townhouse on 3 floors with water view
About this house rental
Tidal views of Wellfleet bay and in walking distance of everything in Wellfleet center! Experience the delights of Cape Cod in a charming 820 sq. foot townhouse right in central Wellfleet - The Bradford, with water view from 4 windows. Five minute walk to: Wellfleet harbor and public beach, Uncle Tim's bridge, downtown Wellfleet, Wellfleet public library, the farmer's market, Hatch's fish market, and Mac's Seafood. This cozy two-bedroom is in an 1890's building that used to be boarding house. It features original wooden floors and banisters, with a remodeled kitchen and bathroom. You walk in on ground level, where there is an entry and a small washing machine and dryer. On the second floor is a living room with 3 windows that look out onto the Wellfleet bay with its amazing changing tidal flats; a charming renovated kitchen; and a bathroom with a large shower (no tub sadly). On the third floor are 2 bedrooms under the eaves with dormer windows. Each bedroom has a very comfortable queen size bed and dresser and chair, and there is an additional blow-up queen mattress if needed. Off the kitchen is a back porch (shared with neighbors) and a shared back yard with your own grill. The unit has one designated parking spot for unit # 2. Additional parking can be found on the pier (5 minute walk) or in town. Wellfleet requires beach stickers for most beaches if you want to park there before 5 pm. As this is a townhouse with neighbors who live here year-round, guests are expected to maintain quiet hours between 11 pm and 8 am. There is internet and a monitor (see picture) with a HDMI cable so you can stream movies from your computer. There is no cable tv, and access to streaming films is done from your own computer, but the internet is strong enough to stream movies. Kitchen amenities include lots of pots and pans, toaster, blender, coffee paraphernalia (grinder, pour over or French press), microwave; no dishwasher. Please note that the bedrooms are on the top floor (3rd) while the living room, kitchen and bathroom are on the 2nd floor. As this is an old house, the stairs are a bit narrow and steep - not recommended for anyone who has mobility issues. This would be a GREAT place for a multi-week writing or creative retreat while while enjoying swimming and exquisite nature walks. In addition if you rent for 32 days, there is no short-term rental tax, so it's a super deal! (All the city short term rental taxes are dealt with by VRBO who adds them to your totals.). Discount on rentals of 1 month or more. Please note that this condo in the historic Bradford building is in town on a street leading to the Wellfleet pier. In high season, there will be some traffic! However, there are abundant beautiful bay walks and swims close by that you can do without even getting in a car! The local grocery, farmer's market (Wednesdays) and several restaurants are also in walking distance. With a car you are within a ten minute drive of: Atlantic beaches and bay marshes; fabulous swimming at Long Pond, Great Pond, Duck Pond, Great Island; the tasty delights of PB Boulangerie and Blue Willow Cafe (in South Wellfleet). You are also less than a half hour from the Audubon, Eastham's gorgeous marshes at Fort Hill, and 35 minutes from Provincetown dunes and art. If you are looking for a long-term rental - 1-3 months off season, I will request to have a phone call with you before confirming. Thanks!

This was our 5th summer on the Cape with our 9- and 11-year-old daughters. Of all the summer rentals we've stayed in, this was by far our favorite. We would absolutely stay here again.
The location is excellent. It's in walking distance to everything in town. The condo itself is charming, with a lot of historical character and a lovely view of Duck Creek. The kitchen and bathroom are very clean, which made us feel right at home.
With two kids, it was great to have the 2nd floor living space and 3rd floor bedrooms. This provided enough room for everyone to spread out and have their own space as needed (which cottages can sometimes lack). The in-unit washing machine and dryer were a huge bonus.
We cannot recommend it highly enough. Such a great space for our family, and we hope to stay here again sometime soon.

Irina is a very lovely and considerate property owner. She has clearly gone out of her way to make her condo as delightful as possible for renters. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and made sure to return her kindness by taking the best possible care of the condo entrusted to our care.

Historic townhouse
Charming, rustic 2 bedroom townhouse style apartment in a historic building has lovely, ever-changing views of tidal marsh and a great location for walking to the fishing pier, Mayo Beach and Wellfleet town center. Other lovely walks include Uncle Tim's bridge. Internal stairs are steep and bedrooms are on top level.

This was exactly what we were looking for in returning to Wellfleet 50 years after spending many a summer here in my youth. I remember the Bradford as a boarding house in those days and it is exactly the same, from the exterior at least, now. Right across the street from Mack’s Shack, beautiful views of duck Creek and uncle Tim’s bridge and a two block walk to the center of town. Easy driving distance to all of the beaches, Truro, and Provincetown. The perfect accommodation for two couples. Many thoughtful and tasteful accoutrements.

Cute and cozy historic townhouse walkable to all sorts of nice amenities (quiet beach, restaurants, shops) and a very short drive to others (ponds, Cape Cod Rail Trail trailhead). Property was clean on arrival and owner was very responsive to texts/emails. Note to other parents, our kids are 5 and 7 and I definitely would not stay here with younger kids due to both the steep stairs and the busy road right outside. For us though it was great! Would definitely stay here again if we return to Wellfleet.

Charming with a view
What a charming apartment!! I could enjoy staying here Michael longer. The view of the marsh is serene. Be aware that this home is accessed via steep stairs- no problem for us, but would be problematic for those with mobility issues. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful stay in Irina’s condo.
Magnificent sunrises over Duck creek from front windows- swim in the ponds and ocean all within minutes ride in the car or perfect to cycle to- which we often did—Restaurant, coffee, and Shopping, again within walking distance. And, of course, art galleries! Irina’s home is like living in a private mini art gallery of your own if you never make it to any town!

The location of the condo was great., and it had everything you needed!
The host was also very quick to respond with any questions.
The only issue we had was washing any linens that were used (and asked to clean) on checkout morning. Since laundry can't be done until after 9 a.m. and checkout is at 10, there isn't enough time. I'm not certain how one would even complete the linens on a Saturday morning checkout since you must be out of the condo by 9 a.m. but can't start to wash until 9 a.m???

location, location, location, in a cozy condo
This condo is exactly as seen in the pictures: perfect. What you don’t see are the changing tides and the great location, so much can be done on foot (Mayo Beach, the harbor, in town shopping, galleries...). The appliances are high end in the cheery kitchen/eating room and in the laundry nook. This comfortable, cozy condo, thanks to it’s so many windows , is very bright. While the stairs are very steep and the railing a bit low on the bedroom level, the movement light sensor on the steps is a big help during the night. A must!

We loved our stay at Irina's in Wellfleet. The apartment was decorated with an eclectic mix of original art, antiques and modern touches, altogether aesthetically pleasant surroundings. Great views of a salt marsh. The beds- very comfy. The kitchen-well appointed. Convenient to Rte.6 without the crazy traffic and a short walk to the pier and the little downtown. Mac's Shack right across the street-lobster rolls and chowder. P'town, Marconi Beach, flea market and Audubon sanctuary nearby. Irina was a pleasure to rent from. She made the entire process effortless and responded quickly if we had questions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Irina!

Brilliant Stay in Wellfleet
We absolutely loved Irina's place in Wellfleet. It was perfect for a month stay, and we were so sad that we couldn't stay longer. I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Wellfleet!
Location: The apartment is located right across from Mac's Shack in Wellfleet. It's the perfect location to be able to walk down to the harbor or into town.
The Space: There's tons of space between the big living room and kitchen on the second floor and the two bedrooms on the top floor. The kitchen was perfect for cooking local seafood, and we loved relaxing in the living room.
Extras: We loved watching the tide go up and down in the salt marsh across the street, and no matter how warm it got, we could open the windows for an incredible cross-breeze. Really great light in the morning!
