We Could Do With a Cheaper Vacation

New Listing: Book a piece of history! This vintage cottage was saved from the wrecking ball when a local shellfisherman hid it away behind his property for fifty years. Recently acquired by the Historical Society and moved to its present location close by Mayo Beach, this authentic oyster shack is now available for summer rental. It offers an exquisite view of Wellfleet Harbor and is within walking distance of town center, art galleries, theatre, restaurants, and shops. Jump out of bed in the morning and jog along a sandy beach. Swim whenever the urge takes you. Bicycle out picturesque back roads to Chequessett Neck, nearby. Enjoy take-out from Mac’s Seafood or The Bookstore while watching the sun go down over Great Island. Take in a play at the WHAT Harbor Stage, less than a block away. Small, but built to last by Cape craftsman, here's a cozy rental that boasts lots of light all around. It may be Spartan, but what a story to tell future grandchildren! How many people can say they slept in the same spot as hundreds of succulent Wellfleet oysters? Ideal for writer or artist. This is truly ''Old Cape Cod.” Beach towels provided. Bring your own sleeping bag. Wireless available upon request.

These vacations are pitched at folks who are willing to pass on some of the more pricey amenities and consider there is no need to bathe when you can swim, at will, in Wellfleet Harbor. WC conveniently located nearby. At the marina? Will have to check and get back to you.
haha. i still want to stay in your green room when i visit.
:)
thanks for the note. just getting through my days, making some needed money, keeping the ol' nostrils above water.
spartan indeed. maybe even an army will jump out of it:)
Don't know how I missed this, being that I live 1/8 mile from Mayo Beach. Pretty interesting. Imagine all the memories made in there. Only the walls know.
Makes me think of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" from Alice in Wonderland...

A cool little place to photograph, but a little too "rustic" for my tastes. When we make it to your neck of the woods, I think I'll stay at your B&B! :)
Can you provide contact info for rental? A website or phone?

Welcome, Turner. You made me laugh! Thanks.
I love this! I would totally stay in a place like this. Of course, I'm the roughing it type...
