About this property

'Amy's by the Sea' A 10 min walk to miles of ocean beaches/sand dunes, this renovated 1940's Cape-style cottage, located in the National Seashore sits on a 2+ acre wooded lot.
Open floor plan with living and dining area and open to knotty pine ceiling. Bright new kitchen with large A-frame glass overlooking the spacious deck. Surrounded by National Park, Amy's by the Sea is an easy walk to the ocean beach via paved road for bicycles/strollers or via the 'back' trail to the bluffs overlooking the ocean, sand dunes and miles of quiet beauty. The back trail to the ocean also connects to the very rare White CedarTrail preserve and Marconi site.

A 1/2 mi walk in the other direction gives you direct access to the Bicycle Rail Trail and General Store/ Post Office. Avoid Rte 6 traffic by taking Ocean View Drive into town, harbor, or glacier ponds for a swim or kayaking. Cottage is only 1/2 hr drive to Provincetown for nightlife and terrific whale watching.

Wonderful Weekend!

Great experience from start to finish. The property owner was up front about the small size of the cottage, so we were prepared. Twenty-minute walk to the beach was ok or you can drive. Quiet neighborhood and a great French bakery down the street. Property owner was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. Would recommend for 2 adults with 1-2 kids, or 4 adults who don't mind close quarters.

Third year in a row staying at this hidden gem

This was our third year booking Amy’s Cottage and we just can’t say enough about it. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach, bike path and the most amazing French bistro! The neighborhood is quiet but close to everything we love to do. The cottage is the perfect size for our family of 3. We LOVE the outdoor shower, deck and the kitchen is great during our week long stay. Jackie (the host) is wonderful, accommodating and incredibly communicative. Looking forward to our next visit already!

Cottage in Great Location Wellfleet

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It is simple but well maintained and very clean. The kitchen is serviceable for meal preparation. It is, as advertised, cozy/small. We were a couple - just two of us - yet we found it confining at times esp for meal prep. The bed was comfortable. The location is unbeatable - walk to ocean and also to cafes. The deck is comfortable but could be better appointed / landscaped for greater enjoyment of being outside. Owner was very good with communications, which we appreciated.

Perfect location, sweet cottage

Amy’s cottage is just a perfect spot for enjoying the many pleasures of Wellfleet and the surrounding towns. The cottage is cozy and well laid out. The outdoor shower was a real plus! You are close to a yummy bakery and the bike trail and an easy walk to the beach. We would definitely return! Host was terrific from booking through departure. Five stars for sure!

Great location!

This quaint property is within an easy bike ride to several beaches, and within walking distance or a short bike ride / drive from numerous local amenities. While not spacious, the accommodations are comfortable and more than adequate for a couple or small family who enjoys spending the bulk of their time outside at the Cape. Prompt and friendly communication with property owner.

Perfect Cape Cottage

This was my family’s second stay at Amy’s Cottage. It’s spotlessly clean and has all the amenities we need, including a lovely deck and delightful outdoor shower. Love the location within walking distance to Lecount Hollow beach and also our favorite French bakery (PB Boulangerie). Jackie is such a kind and helpful host, always quick to answer questions. This place is a gem. We’ll be back!

We Keep Coming Back

Love this cottage. Love the location and love Wellfleet. Even in the thick of summer, Wellfleet maintains a laid back, friendly vibe. The cottage is supremely located - love walking to the beach! And as avid joggers, the trail to the lookout is a big bonus to have right outside the door. The cottage is cozy and clean and a nice respite after a day at the beach or exploring Wellflet. Jackie is a great host!

Excellent séjour!

Nous avons apprécié Amy's Cottage, nous y avons logé pendant une semaine.. Le cottage était propre, la cuisine bien équipée. Nous avons trouvé tout ce dont nous avions besoin dans cette superficie réduite. Bien localisé, le cottage se trouve à mi-chemin entre Orléans (pour faire vos courses) et Provincetown (pour une belle visite). La plage au bout de la rue est un sérieux atout. Cette plage est magnifique et peu achalandée. Nous louons des propriétés depuis plusieurs années, et je peux vous certifier que Jackie se distingue comme hôtesse pour son excellent service. Très disponible, elle a répondu à chacune de nos communications avec empressement. Proactive, elle nous a envoyé toute l'information pour les vignettes de stationnement bien avant notre arrivée. Généreuse : elle a pris du temps pour m'appeler et me donner une grande quantité d'informations utiles (notamment sur les sentiers derrières la propriété). Elle m'a même transmis une référence pour une massothérapeute à Provincetown. Nous recommandons ce cottage sans hésitation.

Amazing little cottage by the ocean!

This is our second time staying at Amy’s Cottage and we already can’t wait to come back next year. The cottage is in a perfect location, walking distance to the beach, the bike trail and an amazing French bistro! It’s also located near a lot of our favorite day trip locations (wellfleet center, ptown etc.) The cottage itself has everything my family and I need - an amazing outdoor shower, stocked kitchen and a great deck for hanging out. Jackie has also been an amazing host, always quick to respond with very helpful information and very accommodating. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year!

Waters family

Was very much enjoyed, the weather was our only complaint because it didn’t get hot enough to swim in the ocean, but only gives us a reason to book again just in late July or August so it reaches over 75 degrees

Perfect Cape Cod Cottage

We had a wonderful experience renting this cottage. Our host Jackie was easy to communicate with and had all the bases covered. The cottage is minutes from the National Seashore, ponds, restaurants, the bike trail, and Wellfleet harbor. Amenities at the cottage were great. The washer-dryer, AC, outdoor shower, and fire pit were highlights for our family. We certainly hope to be back.

A Sweet Find in the Best Location

We loved everything about Jackie’s cottage! Spotlessly clean and comfortable for our family of four. Well stocked and furnished with everything we needed. Perfect location halfway between the beach and the amazing French bakery for morning croissants, PB Boulangerie. We would walk to both every day! There’s a great network of trails behind the cottage including the swamp trail which felt magical for our kids with a boardwalk winding through a lush forest. Loved the outdoor shower, the hammock for lounging, and the deck for morning coffee. We would love to stay here again!

Cozy Wellfleet cottage!

This is a cozy cottage that offers the charm of Cape Cod, located close to the beach, biking trails, the Audobon Bird Sanctuary and just 30 minutes from Provincetown. The outdoor shower is a feature that was greatly appreciated after a day at the beach. We liked the fact we could prepare meals, like breakfast, without having to dine out for every bite.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Clark

'Amy's by-the-Sea' has been in view of our family summer home since 1940 when my grandmother Amy Foote and my grandfather Bill, camped on this property in 1917. It was first built by the Forbes family and in 1984 was sold and then sold again in 2004. Finally, in 2011, my brother and sisters and I got together and bought 'Amy's' which has been a large part of our summer lives for over 60 years.

Why they chose this property

My siblings and I have been coming to this location since we were young children. Our father had been coming since he was 8 years old and used to watch the German glider pilots fly gliders off of the dunes of Maguire Landing. We were 'hooked' on the area from an early age just like our father was.

What makes this property unique

We all love the peace, relaxation and nature of the area -- it engergizes us! The air is clean, the birds sing every morning, the berries are in bloom in mid-summer and you can hear the ocean at night. The moon and stars are spectacular and some of us have seen the Northern Lights from the ocean dunes.
