Antique Cape In The Cape Cod National Seashore Park Near Gull Pond

The Locust House property consists of a main house (The Locust House), a separate small cottage (The Camp) and 2-plus acres situated within the Cape Cod National Seashore Park. The property is 2/10 of a mile (easy walk) to the public beach at Gull Pond. The property is also less than 2 miles from the National Seashore beaches and a short drive to Wellfleet center and harbor.The Locust House can be rented on it’s own or in conjunction with The Camp for additional guests (additional fee required). The combined houses offer a unique opportunity for guests to invite grandparents, family or friends to join them on vacation while having a private space of their own. The Camp, however, will not be rented without the Locust House in order to maintain the privacy of our main house guests.The Locust House is a 2 bedroom (sleeps 6), 1 bath antique cape built in 1780. The house has an eat-in kitchen, a family room with HDTV, a living room, full bath with tub and shower and a bedroom with a queen bed all on the main floor. A narrow steep staircase leads to the recently added spacious 2nd floor bedroom with 4 twin beds. The house has a ductless a/c system that cools the upstairs and downstairs, but we doubt you’ll need it with the cool Wellfleet sea breeze. The property is perfect for active children or grandchildren to run around or a peaceful getaway for parents and grandparents alike.The Camp is a 2 room (sleeps 4), 1 bath cottage which was recently renovated. The Camp has a kitchenette with sink, small refrigerator, stovetop, microwave and dining table for 4. It has a ½ bath and an outdoor shower off the bathroom. The Camp has a ductless a/c system that cools, but we doubt you’ll need it with the cool Wellfleet sea breeze.

An additional fee is required to rent The Camp.The property consists of more than 2 acres of land and tall locust trees from which the house gets its name. Outside, you’ll find plenty of room to relax under the shade of the locust trees, dine outside at the picnic table or take a late afternoon nap in the hammock. If swimming, kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding or sailing is what you want, just grab your towel and take a short walk to beautiful Gull Pond. The public beach of Gull Pond has plenty of shady areas, and a large dock for jumping, sunbathing or the occasional cannon ball. The pond is a mile wide and connected to two other ponds; Higgins and Williams ponds.The National Seashore beaches along the picturesque ocean view drive are only 1.6 miles from the house by bike or car. Oceanview drive is the home of four National Seashore beaches: Newcomb Hollow, Cahoon Hollow (home to The Beachcomber Restaurant), White Crest and Maguire’s Landing. All beaches offer great boogie boarding, surfing, swimming, sunbathing and long walks.If it’s shopping or dining you prefer, Wellfleet center is only a 2 mile drive from the house.

Continue another mile and you’ll be on the Wellfleet harbor pier with more dining, shopping and ice cream options as well as outdoor square dancing each week.Visit the Locust House soon and enjoy all that the town of Wellfleet and Cape Cod have to offer!
