Wellfleet House | The Beach Castle

6 Bedroom House in Wellfleet

A one of a kind beach house overlooking Wellfleet Harbor. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic ocean views with a private sandy beach just steps away. The Beach Castle is a classic beach house, providing guests with a true beach stay experience we would describe as “rustic elegance.”
The historic house is a Wellfleet landmark that was originally built and owned by Captain Lorenzo Baker, founder of the United Fruit Company, and known as the “Banana King.” It has been in our family since 1947.
The front porch provides stunning views in three directions. A quiet place to relax in the shade and enjoy the ocean breeze, while remaining connected to those on the beach and in the front yard. The perfect spot for hors d'oeuvres and cocktails or dinner, or to enjoy one of Wellfleet’s beautiful sunsets, the porch will quickly become your favorite spots on the property.
The house boasts six bedrooms. The only bedroom on the ground floor has a full bed and private deck, and provides a space for guests who do not wish to climb the stairs. The second floor has two master bedrooms: the main room overlooking the harbor, with a king bed and two twins, and another above the kitchen overlooking the front yard, with a queen bed and one twin. A third room at the top of the stairs has a twin bed and a pull-out trundle bed, and is a perfect room for small children. The final room on the second floor is the “lower tower.” It has a full bed, and an open stairway leading to the final room on the third floor, the “tower,” a circular room with two twin beds that has 24 windows, giving the guest a 360 view of the harbor and dunes surrounding the property. It is a most unforgettable place to sleep and wake up. The house has two full bathrooms, both with stand up showers, one downstairs adjacent to the kitchen and bedroom, and one on the second floor.
Because of the building laws that have been enacted since the house was built, it is the closest house to the beach on Chequessett Bluff, and along with the 200 feet of private beach in front, gives the feeling of having the bluff and the harbor all to yourself.
Chequessett Yacht and Country Club, with a full nine hole golf course, tennis and sailing, is a short walk down the beach in one direction, the town pier and town center, with restaurants and shops, a short walk or drive in the other direction. Great Island National Seashore, with its beaches and walking trails, is a short paddle across the bay, or short drive by car. Ten minute drive to Cahoon Hollow ocean beach, home of the famous Beachcomber seaside bar and music venue. Opportunities for shellfishing, fishing charters, boat rentals and more are also available in Wellfleet. Beach chairs and umbrella, rowboat and kayak available to guests at the house.
The house is a three season structure and is not winterized. The downstairs rooms, including the living, are equipped with heat, providing plenty of warmth during the early Spring and late Fall months. The upstairs bedrooms have plenty of extra blankets if the nights become a bit chilly during these times, although the weather on the Cape is usually very mild during our rental season from May to October.

Summary: The beach castle is absolutely wonderful. It is a historic property, very well maintained, with breathtaking water views. We were 3 families with children ages 2 - 11 and we had a wonderful time. What else do you need when the beach is a few steps down your front door? Nothing! We highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to make once in a lifetime memories.

Summary: My family enjoyed our vacation at the Beach Castle. For years our kids called it the witches house and it was great to finally stay there! The location could not be better, the walk to the beach amazing and the front porch is the highlight. Beautiful breezes and a fantastic 180 view of the beach, great island, the pier area and Indian head. The amenities were perfect, and the number of bedrooms meant plenty of room to spread out. We all enjoyed it and hope we can do it again.

Summary: Great place to stay. The host always messaged me back with answers to my questions. The beach was wonderful but the best was the porch where I spent most of my time. My family loved the short drive to restaurants. We would love to stay again. I can’t say enough great things about the beach castle. Thank you for a wonderful vacation
