The house was just as described: Clean, comfortable and spacious. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Location near beaches and Marconi Park couldn’t have been better. We hope to stay again.

Splendid Wellfleet family cottage with great location
Wonderful homey cottage in off main road woodsy locale. Fully adaptable for three generations of visitors with even a foosball set to promote high powered tournaments. Kitchen is well stocked, dining on deck, outdoor grill, lounging on rear private deck and glorious outdoor shower. And the location is key for access to ocean, fresh water ponds and other Cape special places. Great support and tips from owner, Jackie.

Perfect Week in Wellfleet
The Foote Cottage was a perfect choice for my family. The property itself was well-maintained and spacious - with 2 beautiful terraces, a fully-stocked kitchen, comfortable living room space. The house definitely had a family feel vs a typical beach rental property. Jackie was a very communicative host who made check-in/check-out experience easy and seamless. She also made herself easily available of the course of the stay to answer any questions about the house or the area. Extra points for the location - a walking distance to the beach, bike trail as well as easy breakfast options. The town was a short drive from the house. Would definitely recommend this place for a group of up to 6 people, and hoping to return next summer.

Great Stay
Wonderful place. Very clean and well stocked to live in. Great location- two bakeries walkable for breakfast and lunch and walkable to the beach. Jackie was very good to work with. Loved the outdoor shower for after the beach, enjoyed the fire pit at night and kids loved the swings and hammock.

Quaint cottage in ideal location
My husband and I absolutely loved this house. We felt at home with the cozy decor and nostalgic feel of the house. The outdoor shower is so wonderful to have. We also loved the location. We biked nearly every day to Lecount Beach just down the street. We also enjoyed biking to some of the Wellfleet ponds where parking can be difficult. The trails to the left of the house were so nice as well and the lookout was beautiful. We love the outer cape and especially Wellfleet. We try to visit every summer and hope to visit this house again next year. Our host was very kind and responsive with information. She checked in to ensure everything was good and always got back to us right away with any questions. Thank you for our very relaxing stay!

Foote Rest Cottage a Wellfleet Gem
The cottage is clean and accommodations inviting for families. There are so many things to do with ease of accessibility to beaches, LeCount Hollow in walking distance, ponds, bike path, Cedar Swamp walking trails out the cottage door is a big plus. The cottage has plenty of space for families with 2 1/2 baths & an outdoor shower that rocks. The yard has a fire pit & the back deck looked out over a beautiful wooded landscape. You can watch the bunnies & even see deer . This is a quintessential Cape home with a-lot to offer!

Rented this property through homeaway.com. Process was quick & easy. The owner was very helpful & responsive. The process was well organized & communication was very good. The property is lovely & location delightful. Privacy, this home tucked into the woods with Cedar Swamp trail walking path to Marconi site. Beautiful Wellfleet beach a 10 minute walk. Quick access to ponds. Most of all a very comfortable, clean home.

Perfect place to stay if you want to go to beach
We stayed with one other couple and our friends rented a hotel. We got chased off the beach day one by torrential down pours. So we had our friends come back with us to play games. They had an ez up that we set up on porch we got to still be outside and play games and cards and visit with each other. Could not have done that is we stayed in a hotel. They are all on board to rent houses for next year instead of a hotel. It was so much fun, and the place was perfect!!

This well-appointed house offers lovely gathering spaces as well as private sleeping retreats so it is ideal for sharing. The wooded lot is quiet and private, and a 10 minute walk to the ocean.

Hidden gem
We have done day trips to Welfleet but never stayed in the area. We were headed for a cramped hotel until Jacqueline was willing to rent to us for a long weekend. Here’s why this is a great Welfleet rental: 1. Helpful and gracious owner 2. Awesome location within a short walking distance to the beach, two amazing bakeries, the bike path (including rental shop) and a world-class French bistro. We enjoyed them all. 3. Wooded, peaceful setting but right off a major road. I consider it the best of both worlds. A shaded retreat from the sun without feeling buggy or isolated. (I’m not a big woodsy person). 4. Easy drive to Welfleet harbor with warm, bayside beaches and more fun restaurants. 5. Easy drive to the Welfleet drive-in, which is fun with or without kids. 6. If you prefer to eat in, the house is well-stocked and clean. It is just like the photos, with dated decor (so-to-speak) and personal memorabilia. But that’s what makes the home so charming. 7. Fire pit 8. Huge deck 9. Outdoor shower 10. Basement bedroom with separate entrance and bathroom. Great for my teens. Loved it. Cannot wait to go back.

Quiet, close to beach and well stocked
We had a great stay at Footerest and Jackie was a very nice host and organized host. The house is located in the woods off of a dirt road. There is one house across the road but otherwise very secluded. We ended up not buying a beach parking permit as we wanted to explore dofferent areas outside of Wellfleet. That being said we ended up going to Lecount beach 3 of the 5 days and 1 of the other days we went to Beachcomber so the parking pass would have made sense. Lecount beach is very nice and less crowed but a parking pass is required(available at town harbor). When we went to Lecount I would drive down to the beach to drop of people and gear, then drive back to the house, then make the 10 minutes walk back to the beach. Very convenient location. PB bakery line was very long every day so we never ended up trying it but Chocolate Bakery was very good. Liquor store down the street was great. Blackfish and Wicked Oyster were both great dinners and easy reservations. The house was very well stocked with cooking accessories, gas for the grill, plastic baggies, spices, oil, paper towels and starter toilet paper. Washer and dryer worked well. Also a clothes line in the back for drying items not dryer safe. Beach toys and chairs in the basement. Some of these items are not listed on the VBRO listing so I cannot say if they are always available. Check with Jackie if you are questioning anything. She was very responsive and helpful. Overall 5 stars. Thanks for renting your family home to us Jackie.
