Sandy beach cottage on Wellfleet Bay

`Light on the Mayo` is a newly built, finely appointed, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage located across the road from the famous `Mayo (swim) Beach` in Wellfleet Bay.

The cottage was built in 2018 and is incredibly cozy with unobstructed views of Mayo Beach and Wellfleet Harbor. It also has excellent privacy and high-end amenities. The house includes central heat and air conditioning in each bedroom as well as the living room. It has a modern kitchen with a beautiful dining nook.

Light on the Mayo is located on famous Kendrick Avenue which is one of the best swim beaches on the Cape w/ ultra warm water and soft sand. A short walk down the road is a large playground with play-structure, tennis, pickleball pickleball and basketball courts as well as an outdoor theater and - of course - the town pier. Fishing, boating, and creemies with `jimmies`.

Downtown Wellfleet is 2 miles away with cute stores, fish markets, and great restaurants.

Tidal Info! Wellfleet bay is world famous for it`s oysters in large part because the low tide goes out more than 1/2 a mile! It makes for fun exploring but it also means no swimming at low tide. Schedule appropriately!

Beach Stickers! At low tide, or for a change of pace use your VRBO receipt to get a weekly beach sticker to visit the ponds and oceanside for swimming. Big waves, huge dunes on the ocean or crystal clear freshwater ponds.

Parking for two cars adjacent to the cottage. Two restaurants and the pier (fried takeout) are within walking distance of the Light. Plenty to do during the day without the need to drive.

We had an amazing experience at the ‘Light on the mayo’ cottage in Wellfleet! It was great for our family of 3 (our son is just about 3). Great location and so many things to do in the area as well as easy driving to other towns such as Provincetown and Chatham. We love an off-season trip to New England!

This cottage was absolutely perfect, and the location could not be beat. The house was clean and had everything we needed to make for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The outdoor shower was a great surprise too! Communication was clear and timely, which was very much appreciated as well. We will definitely be back.

This home checked all the boxes for our Cape Cod getaway! It’s open, spotless, and filled with natural light. We loved the stunning water views from so many windows, and the upgraded appliances made everything easy and convenient. The beds were also incredibly comfortable—such a treat after long days at the beach. We would definitely stay here again (and again!).

Sweet little house with clean lines and a comfortable sitting room. The beds were medium firm which worked for three out of the four of us. Beach was right across the road and enjoyable for watching the oyster men work. We found all we needed in the kitchen. Would love to come back and the shoulder season is right for us as things were still busy but not oppressive with lines.
