40 Samoset Avenue, Wellfleet

Great place with an essentially private beach.

House was very clean and comfortable. Favorite place to sit was the second story deck overlooking the ocean. Short walk to a beach which we walked a lot. Sleeps quite a few people but the one downfall is the one bathroom. Location is perfect to visit most of the beaches and a short drive to Wellfleet Center. Definitely would stay here again with the most of four people.

My family (myself, my wife, 2 adult sons and their partners and one friend of theirs) stayed at 40 Samoset for a week. It's a little tight for that many people: there's only one bathroom which does make for complicated logistics, but both the house and location (location, location, location!) make it a great Cape vacation. It has great views from the balcony and from the corner of the property. Both the property and the house next door have wonderful flowers and birds. There's a short path down to Omaha Beach, which is a wonderful bay beach that's perfect for small children, but offers good bay swimming for adults at high tide. At low tide, the beach is delightfully walkable - make sure to chat up the oyster fisherfolk, this is where your oysters come from if you're on-cape and they're doing us all a service by providing for us and setting out shellfish that help clean our waters.
Place itself:
* Beds are comfortable, bedrooms are small, but good value, air conditioning is good.
* Nook for eating indoors seats 6 comfortably and is light and pleasant.
* Plenty of seating outside for get togethers with friends and meals.
* Grill is in a nice location and is the way to go if you're entertaining (make sure you go to Hatch's for the bluefish)
* Comfortable sitting inside in the living room with decent-size TV and internet if you are chilling in the evening.
* Kitchen has 4 burner stove and oven, good dishwasher, if small, same for the fridge.
* Laundry works - dryer is in a shed outside, ironing board hidden behind mirror by bathroom.
Did I forget anything? It's not a mansion, but a good value for the money.

Honestly I don't want to say too much because I want the place available for me! Great house for a family, quiet neighborhood and short walk to one of the best beaches for kids you'll ever find. Our second summer at this beach but a vast improvement in value compared to more expensive properties slightly closer to the beach.
