About this property

Walk to Ocean Beach, Nat'l Seashore, WiFi, Bike Rail Trail

'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.

Perfect stay

My wife and I loved our stay at Amy’s by the Sea - comfortable, well maintained, well stocked with necessities. The location was perfect, an easy walk to the ocean beach in one direction and to the Blue Willow in the other. There was easy access for cycling, whether on the road or the bike path. The deck was a lovely place to eat and the outdoor shower a treat. Jackie was a very responsive host. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Wondeful cottage!

We loved staying at this house. As other reviewers have said, it was close both to the ocean and the Rail Trail. We cooked and grilled in most days and it was extremely well supplied for that purpose. Huge back yard with gorgeous tall pine trees, which made it feel cooler than other sites we visited while on the Cape. And the back deck was lovely -- we spent half of our time there. Cannot recommend this place more

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

Great location but on

On the positives: * The house is close to the National Seashore which was a big plus * The house is very close to the end of Rail Trail (great for jogging and biking) * The house is close to PB Boulangeries for great breakfasts and more (expect long lines) * The kitchen is completely renovated (which we did not use) * The owner Jackie is very attentive and responsive On the negatives: * The house sits on a semi-busy road and is hard to relax, especially at daytime * The bedrooms and especially the bathroom are uncomfortably small, sometimes restricting free movement. They have not been updated like the kitchen Overall 3.5 stars

Cozy, comfortable cottage in a wonderful location, helpful owner

We found the other reviews to give us a pretty accurate sense of the cottage. Jackie is helpful and detail-oriented and everything was very well set up with clear instructions. The cottage is cozy and traditional but not as tiny as we'd feared, with plenty of room for the three of us. The location is phenomenal: we walked through the woods behind the house to the Cedar swamp trail, the top of the bluffs, and Marconi. We walked on the road to the ocean beach several times though it made me nervous because the cars go by fast; once we got our sticker we started driving to the beaches and ponds, so we could take our stuff and have our pick of lovely nearby places to swim and play in the waves. (For a bay beach, if you wish to avoid waves and shark warnings, I recommend Duck Harbor, about a 20 minute drive away). The fantastic French bakery is a quarter mile up the road. We biked out of the house to the beaches and rail trails; there is a route that takes one into the town center without having to bike on Route 6. From the cottage we could hear cars go by on the road but most of the time we didn't really notice them. There is no central AC, but the little room unit in the living room was sufficient to keep most of the cottage reasonable while we were there (outside temperatures last week went up to the mid '80s). Wifi was great for all but about 10 minutes one morning. We used the outdoor shower and hung out on the deck a lot, except the one morning it rained.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Clark

Host profile image
'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.
