Quiet Woods, Private Beach,
Outer Cape Character

This isn't a typical Cape Cod rental. It's a mid-century modern home set back on a private acre of woods in Wellfleet's Indian Neck neighborhood — one of the quietest and most sought-after spots on the Outer Cape.

The living room sits on the second floor with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, surrounded by trees. Sliders open to a brand new deck that seats 8 — morning coffee, afternoon light, dinner under an autumn sky.

Walk 5 minutes and you're at a private bay beach. In fall, the water stays warm from summer through September. The neighborhood empties out after Labor Day. You'll have Indian Neck to yourself.

We've been vacationing in Wellfleet with our three boys for 8 years. We bought this home in 2024 because Indian Neck is the place we always come back to.

"Our family had a great time in this wonderful hideaway in woods, just a short walk from a beautiful bay beach on Indian Neck. The large deck off the second floor is a great addition."
