Solitude and Fun at Great Pond: The exclusive property sits on a knoll above your own private beach on Great Pond-- pristine, freshwater, sandy bottomed, warm and swimmable in the Cape Cod National Seashore. You will be away from it all, surrounded by pine forest and sand roads.

Summer: Private raft on Great Pond. Walking distance to the ocean.

Fall / Winter / Spring: Gaze at the water, walk the sand roads, and spy on our resident heron as you nestle by the fireplace. Enjoy the quiet of Wellfleet as it returns to its roots as a sleepy fishing village.

Great Pond Property Overview
Our property is two fully equipped houses joined as one, a blend of rustic and contemporary. The ‘Summer Side’ is the original cottage - full of Cape Cod charm and a huge screened-in porch. The ‘Big House’ was added in the 80’s. It is fully insulated / heated, has a window-lined living room and a gorgeous dining room that makes you feel you are eating outside. The 2 homes are connected by a hallway with a twin bedroom. Each home has private decks with views of the pond and a full kitchen. This lovely property is only one of three that are available to rent on Great Pond in the summer and the only one available to rent in the off season. Built by our family, this property has personal touches and a few Cape Cod quirks.

Summer (May - Sept): This wonderful “two vacation homes as one is available to rent in its entirety for any week. It is a perfect vacation spot for a large family, two families or a multigenerational family gathering. For those who love to swim, this home is a paradise.

    We return to this peaceful haven by Great Pond year after year and always find ourselves refreshed and restored after a wonderful vacation swimming, paddle boarding, and enjoying the beauty that surrounds us. This is a gem.

    The houses were great , perfect for our families . The summer house reminded us of summer camp . The views of the pond are splendid . The screened - in Dining / Lounge Room was our favorite spot . The beach & cove were perfect for our 7 month old grandson . Great pond has always been the place we would spend whole days at previously , now we are so happy to have a home to stay in on the pond . Thank you , Tammy , for being a great host !

    Our family of (5) plus a couple friends stayed at this spacious house and it was perfect. When we were looking at the house, I told my Wife I bet the pictures don't do it justice, I was right. The pond has more of a small lake feel and was perfect for all the kids. The house comes with it's own small marina and a floating dock off shore to dive and fish from. Highly suggest fishing, some big bass in there. Essentially you have two homes bridged together creating a ton of space. The entire back of the house has seating areas that have great views of the pond, plus a large deck off the master and living room. All that and you're still only a 5 min. ride to the ocean. 25 min. or so to P-town. I could go on and on. Hope to stay there again sometime.
