The Beach Castle 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 the 1940’s and only recently has been offered for rent. 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 are equipped with heat, and the living room has a gas-powered stove. These provide plenty of heat for the downstairs 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.**LINENS NOT PROVIDED** - BEACH TOWELS ONLY. GUESTS MAY EITHER BRING SHEETS AND BATH TOWELS WITH THEM OR RENT THEM FROM THE FURIES IN WELLFLEET**
