Guide
LeCount Beach House is a one-story, two-bedroom vacation rental among the pines in Wellfleet, a short walk from LeCount Beach and minutes from the village. It works best as a base for a longer beach-and-town stay, not a spontaneous stop: this is reservation-only lodging, and the named renter must stay for the lease.
The self-catering house has a full kitchen, one bathroom, Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, a screened porch, a covered patio with a grill, and an outdoor shower. Pillows and blankets are supplied, but bring sheets and towels. The overview says it sleeps six, while the lease caps occupancy at four, so plan around the stricter limit.
From Route 6, follow LeCount Hollow Road to Ocean View Drive, then Nellie Road; the house is second on the right. Parking is limited to a designated area. LeCount Beach is close, but any beach entrance or permit fee is separate from the rental; Wellfleet village is minutes away for restaurants and bookshops.
