    Spectacular views and wonderful house

    We've been lucky enough to stay at this great house several times, including just last week. There is a beautiful and aromatic garden to welcome you as wend your way to the front door, and once inside, the views of the bay are gorgeous from every window. The house is well maintained and cared for and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Cathie is warm and wonderful host. We can't wait to return!

    The View!

    We have been repeat renters for 5 years and are still stunned by the gorgeous view every time we arrive. The house is very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you might need. We love being able to walk out to Great Island and also take advantage of the water at our doorstep. Sometimes we rent a sailboat and/or kayak that can be tied up at the little beach at the bottom of the stairs, and we bring our own paddle boards. Cathie is very attentive and helpful and makes sure everything runs smoothly. Even if you never leave the deck, you feel like you have had a wonderful vacation! show more show less

    Best views on the Outer Cape

    What a wonderful home. This is our third time staying there and we've always had a great time. The views are fantastic as you watch the tide come in and out. You can see over a really lovely hike to Great Island to Cape Cod Bay. There are steps down to a beach by the river where our grandchildren love to collect fiddler crabs.
    The house is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Cathy is always available for anything you need and is a wonderful host.

    Awesome House and Location

    Stayed for a week in September, and wish we could have stayed longer. This house has everything you would want to relax and enjoy a vacation on the Cape. First, the views, I would have to agree they are some of the best on Cape Cod. Amazing sunsets, bird watching, saw whales one day, and also schools of jumping fish, and even a porpoise in the cove in front of the house all while sitting on the expansive deck. At night, great star gazing, as long as there is no full moon! The walk to the beach is down a long set of well constructed stairs, of which we took two paddle boards down and enjoyed paddling in the cove which is an extension of Wellfleet Harbor and saw numerous sea turtles. The home itself is everything you would want. Very clean and modern with a wall of windows to enjoy the views even on "bad weather" days when you don't want to be on the deck.

    Location is perfect, you can walk from the home to miles of trails on Great Island which is part of the National Seashore. We rode bikes into town which is less than two miles away. I went surfing several times, the house is only 10-20 mins away from some of the best oceanside beaches on Cape Cod. "Head of the Meadow", Newcomb Hollow Beach, and Marconi's are some of my favorite. Also can't forget Cathie and Jack, the owners, who were very gracious, helpful and always available to answer any questions we may had. All and all, awesome home and location which made for a great relaxing vacation. We plan to return.

    A Spectacular Week In A Spectacular Wellfleet Home

    We spent many summers with our children, now young adults, in Wellfleet. After a hiatus, it called us back this summer. It's a magical and relaxing spot, and this summer all the more so given our rental of this simply spectacular home in Wellfleet's prime Chequessett Neck area. Owners Cathie and Jack are simply lovely and made the rental process easy. The house is spacious, modern and comfortably laid out for a family spending a week at the beach, bay or pond. Stunning views of the bay and bay sunsets from giant floor to ceiling windows. As I remarked to Cathie more than once, those views "never get old." Spacious and fully equipped kitchen with all the modern amenities, and some unexpected features, like a Sonos wireless music system, made our stay heavenly. We hope to return and highly recommend this rental. show more show less

    Beautiful Views, Wonderful Stay

    We had a wonderful vacation here. From the minute we parked our car and walked the short pretty path the front door, I was delighted. The path has pretty wildflowers, stone and sea shells and it leads to a gorgeous door with large windows that let you see straight thru to the water. Just fabulous.

    We loved the large windows, that brought in so much light and let us see the beautiful view. we enjoyed sitting outside both day and night and loved the proximity to all of our favorite Wellfleet places including the beaches, ponds, shops, galleries and restaurants.

    The master bedroom was terrific—with doors to the deck outside, great four poster bed, and nice bathroom and closets. We loved the art, puzzles and books that can be found in the house. My guests enjoyed their beautiful view upstairs as well.

    I highly recommend this house and location for a Cape Cod trip and look forward to going back soon!!

    Really *is* spectacular - you won't want to leave

    We've spent several weeks each summer at this home for each of the past 10 years and have loved it.

    With so many properties for rent on the Cape, we feel lucky to have found this contemporary-style home with such a spectacular setting. The bank of sliding glass doors gives access to the deck and whether inside or out it's a pleasure being able to look up from a meal or over the top of a book to see the view of Cape Cod Bay and Great Island. The scenery changing with the tides and the sky color of the setting sun is mesmerizing.

    The house is air-conditioned, but over all our stays we've rarely needed to use it, since the house is high enough off of the water to get a good, steady breeze off the bay.

    The kitchen is well stocked with cooking gear (whether we've used the stove, oven, or gas grill) and we've always found whatever we needed.

    Over the years we've ended up spending most of our beach time at the ocean beaches, but there are several nice bay-beach access points near-by. The property description suggests that the house has access to a beach, but I think a somewhat better description is that the house has access to the bay. At high tide you can walk down the stairs to get access to the water, but it isn't what many would picture as a sandy Cape Cod beach with place for chairs, sun umbrella, and cooler.

    We have shared our time at this house with 2 other couples (for long weekends) and sometimes with our adult kids (for as much as a week at a time), and have always found it wonderfully comfortable place for everyone.

    The owners are warm and gracious hosts. They are attentive and responsive and it's been a joy to get to know them.

    We spend most of each year waiting to come back to this warm and inviting place.

    A Special Place by the Bay

    We have been renting this lovely home each summer for over a decade now. The house is clean, well-appointed, and has magical sunsets overlooking a beautiful spot on Cape Cod Bay. The wall of windows brings the outside in so even if the weather is not cooperating you can still enjoy the beauty of the area. The owners Cathie and Jack are lovely and helpful with anything we have ever needed. Our daughters are now 5 and 7 and they frequently ask when we are returning to "our beach house". We have so many special memories here and we all look forward to our visit each year. show more show less

    My summers have always been in Wellfleet and occasionally my family spent winters here. In the early 50's my parents bought a strip of waterfront land along Chequessett Neck along with the house that is next to us. When my Dad died in !996 he left his remaining 5 children either a house or a lot. I choose a lot and started building a few years later.
    While renting our home, my husband and I remain in Wellfleet. I like to meet our guests and be there to maintain the property!

    What is special about this property?
    I always enjoy watching a new tenant walk into our home! From the front door they go directly over to the wall of glass to look out at the breathtaking view across the Herring River cove , to Great Island National Park and Cape cod Bay. it is a wildlife haven with numerous sea birds, or an occasional fox walking across the deck. One also sees seals, dolphins, fish and turtles swimming. Sadly dolphins have a lousy gps and to be rescued when the tide goes out! The view is always changing with the light and the 10' tides. A spectacular spot we are honored to own.
    When my husband and I decided on a Deck House design , we wanted the house to have the feeling of being outside when inside!
