Inside the destination
Neighborhood: Ellis Landing Beach Located just a 10–15 minute walk from Main Street in Brewster (Route 6A), you’ll have easy access to local favorites, including a bakery, bookstore, liquor store, pizza and sushi spots, cafés, a convenience store, and a variety of restaurants. Larger grocery stores are a short 10–15 minute drive to either Orleans or East Harwich. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Cape Cod Rail Trail is just minutes away by bike, offering miles of scenic riding.
Parking information
During peak hours at town beaches, parking stickers are required. Of course, most of our properties are directly on or within easy walking distance of private, neighborhood association beaches, so no pass is required. For those properties that aren’t right on or within walking distance, a pass is necessary. You can stop by the town offices to pick up a weekly pass or pay per visit. Beach passes are issued by vehicle and are not transferable.

Reviews
Ellen
We loved our stay at Why Knot. The property was in wonderful condition; well furnished and provisioned. The floor plan worked very well for us. We made great use of the large heated pool and gas fire pit. The walk to the beach was easy. Seeing the very large exposed areas at low tide was a novel experience for us. We were thrilled to be able to walk out and observe operations at the local oyster farm. We very much enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area around the home. It was a great relaxing get-away. Kudos to the property management team. They notified us that would be able to check in earlier than planned. They responded very quickly to all of our questions and comments. We have been to Corolla in the Outer Banks of North Carolina several times. This was a shorter drive and we enjoyed the visit more. We hope to return again in the not too distant future.
