Idyllic Waterfront Home on Drummer Cove in Quiet Pine Grove on Pleasant Point.
About this house rental
Nestled in Wellfleet, this attractive house for £253 per night is a great option for your next break. This gem sits quietly among the pines on the edge of Drummer Cove with a large wraparound deck on which to sit and watch the tide come and go. If you prefer a bit more shelter, there is a large screened-in porch. With two large picture windows, the same marvelous view is visible from the living room! Should the weather turn cool, light a fire in the fireplace or curl up with a book in the glassed-in Florida room. A short walk takes you to the bay for a swim or to launch your kayak. Down the road is the Fox Island Conservation Area hiking trail, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail is about a mile away. Wellfleet is noted for its large harbor and marina -which offers deep sea fishing & sailboat rentals - white ocean beaches and clear kettle ponds, as well as a large collection of art galleries and fine restaurants.

What a treat to stay in this cottage in Wellfleet. The deck looks out onto the ebb and flow of a salt marsh. Early one morning I saw a blue heron. The cottage is well equipped with cooking spices, pots and pans, as well as dvds and games. It is a quiet neighborhood and well suited for 2 adults with a short visit by two other adults. We certainly hope to return.

This is a lovely property - wonderful views everywhere one looks. Very comfortable home, well-furnished and equipped. Quiet street. Watching the tides ebb and flow in Drummers Cove is peaceful and yet engrossing.

Had a ball in Wellfleet and this cozy house felt like quintessential Cape Cod. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower overlooking the water and the screened in porch. Clark couldn’t have been a more accommodating host!

We had a lovely stay at Clark’s serene and spacious spot in the midst of the tidal waters of Wellfleet. Morning coffee on your porch was just a treat. Thank you.

We absolutely fell in love with this property. It feels very much like a family home. Our kids enjoyed playing ping pong in the basement and exploring the cove. The house is so well stocked and just the right size. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Private and Quiet
Great central location to everything Wellfleet and even Eastham. Private, quiet and well appointed. Perfect size for a family of 4 adults.

Very much as described: simple but very pleasant and comfortable house, with everything in great working order, really well supplied, and a very peaceful pretty outdoor area with lots of convenient seating and a great screen porch. Quick drive to some of the most beautiful places on the Cape! The surrounding area is really pleasant too - doesn't feel like being on the open water, but very peaceful. When we were there even in high tide the water never came as close to the house as it does in the main picture on the listing, but it was great to sit outside and listen to the birds.

Great house, beautiful location, friendly and responsive owner
Property was super-clean and well maintained. The owner got back to us almost immediately to answer all of our questions. The location was perfect. The house is well-stocked with just about anything you might need on vacation (we were especially impressed with all the spices available for cooking.)

Relax and do what you want to do
We had an amazing visit with our 2 girls under 8. they loved exploring the cove for crabs and I was able to launch my kayak a short walk away. The house is old school family style with everything you need and more. Its really close to Welfleet Harbor (10 min drive) and we did not leave the area for a week hitting every beach in Welfleet for shelling, exploring and fishing. The deck and porcheds made for good relaxing and sunning. I appreciated the outdoor shower and the hose as I am a fisherman who brought back a stripers and bluefish to deal with. The charcoal grill is not as fast as gas but is excellent for grilling the old school way.

This home is not the most modern but has some nice updates that seem to be recently done to the woodwork. Everything was very clean and well kept and the setting was just as pictured; just beautiful! Overlooking a tidal cove uncluttered by many other houses. It was in the perfect location for us as we love the Eastham/Wellfleet/Truro area. The house is extremely well equipped and all directions/information was clear and conconcise. We had a wonderful stay!

The house and its location are a paradise for birdwatchers or people who love nature. The property directly adjoins a tidal marsh at Drummers Cove, with Great Blue Herons foraging nearby, hawks and Ospreys making occasional fly-bys, and a backyard bird feeder that draws chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, goldfinches, and more. (The house had some bird seed but I suggest bringing some too.)
At low tide you can walk out along the edge of the marsh and look for little crabs. Or sit on the deck or the screened porch and watch the light change and the tide come in and out. There are other walking paths nearby along the cove/bay and through the woods. And of course, all the nature of the Outer Cape is just a short drive away -- ocean beaches with dunes, bayside beaches, and the Audubon wildlife sanctuary in Wellfleet.
The house itself is homey and comfortable, not an "eye-popping luxury" kind of property. The kitchen is well-equipped with pretty much everything you need for cooking, including lobster pots and a dishwasher. No AC, but there are standing fans that help if it gets really hot. Very nice updated bathroom.
My daughter and Iused our week as a "working vacation" -- in the mornings, I worked on my laptop on the screen porch, with the birds and marsh in the background, and in the afternoon we went to the beach. It was super-relaxing!

Beautiful view, peaceful and lovely
Two adults and one six year old enjoyed our time at this well-situated house immensely. The view of the cove was the best part, and we had herons and osprey perched in the trees nearby on multiple occasions. Lovely!

We had a wonderful family vacation. The home was in a beautiful spot, steps to small hikes and the water. We were able to put our canoe in a short walk away from the house and paddle the cove in a peaceful, quiet setting, but we were just a short drive away from the major beaches of Wellfleet. We loved eating dinner every night in the screened-in porch overlooking the water. There was plenty of room for our family of four. Clark was communicative, proactive and accommodating!

There was no air conditioning and the fans were old. I thought there would be a breeze from the cove, but most nights there were none. We did have a great time at the cape though.

The Santos cottage that overlooks Drummer Cove has been a family favorite of ours when visiting Wellfleet. We have stayed at this residence multiple times and have had wonderful stay each time! Returning to this cottage is one of our favorite highlights of the Summer! The owners take pride in maintaining the charming residence, by engaging in updates to ensure that this property will continue to provide lasting memories that depict the true vision and spirit of living on the Cape. Thank-you again for providing us a wonderful stay and being such dedicated hosts!

Dream location!
Beautiful setting on the cove. Beautiful views from the deck, screened porch and the picture windows in the living room. Many beautiful walks from right out our door around the cove and in the woods of the conservation area.
The house was spotlessly clean and very well-stock. My husband and I were having a second vacation week, but my adult daughter was working remotely. She said it couldn't have a nicer place to work, with the beautiful view and good internet service.
We loved this house!

A lovely stay in South Wellfleet overlooking a marsh.
I must start by saying the owners were extremely kind and helpful! They were easy to contact and consistently responded to my email questions quickly. They walked us through the town’s needed paperwork, checked to make sure we were comfortable and answered questions throughout our stay. The space is beautifully situated looking over a lovely marsh. There are small walking trails and places to set off on kayaks in walking distance. This is not a fancy, sparkling new space. It IS a sweet, simple lived in home with all the amenities Youll need except a/c which worked out fine for us. The owners leave renters more than enough items to cook with and for storage. They offer paper towels, cleaning liquids, soap, a high chair, beach chairs etc which hasn’t been true of other places we have rented in Wellfleet in the past. We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the marsh and all the birds. There’s also a large screened in porch with the same view. I would definitely rent this home and from these home owners again!
