Directions

388 Bound Brook Way, Wellfleet, MA 02667. From US-6, turn west on to Bound Brook Island/Coles Neck Road and follow the road for approximately 3 miles. For the last 1 mile of the drive, this is a dirt road through the forest. You will pass the Atwood Higgins House. Approximately .25 miles after the Atwood Higgins House, you will make a right turn onto Bound Brook Way in a heavily forested area from what appears to be the main road. This right turn is the correct road. We recommend arriving during daylight hours on your first trip to this property. The road receives minimal maintenance, and very low clearance vehicles may have difficulty accessing the property. Your GPS will bring you to the correct location.

The Bay House is a special place to get away and relax. In the evening, after sunset, listen for the whip-poor-will.

Great location--beautiful sunsets and on a clear night the stars are amazing. We spent a lot of time at the beach right down the road, saw seals on most days and even in late September were able to get in the water. There are some good trails with nice views you can reach right from the road that leads to the house. Also always like the Audubon sanctuary in Wellfleet, both Mac's restaurants and the Blue Heron gallery in Wellfleet Center. The Flying Fish has good pizza and the PB Boulangeries is wonderful--authentic French pastries and food. Our favorite ocean beach is Lecount Hollow right down the road from the boulangerie and we love biking on the bike path and along Ocean View drive down to Newcomb Hollow Beach.

This place is a gorgeous quiet refuge. A neat, well equipped travel back in time to old Cape Cod. The dirt road is a bit rough(better to bring a vehicle with good clearance) but the cottage is on a hilltop with only 2 others in view. Extremely relaxing, beach is a 5 min walk and you can walk forever on it in either direction. A perfect old fashioned Cape retreat!

Well-equipped house with a scenic and adventurous 0.7-mile access road, which may be challenging for non high-clearance vehicles. Just three houses are nearby on the way to the beach. A great natural setting close to the charming village of Wellfleet.
