Wellfleet Vacation Rental - ID 9903

This past July was the second three plus week stay at this wonderful home on Lieutenant's Island in Wellfleet. The first stay was terrific, so much so that I didn't hesitate to book another extended stay. To my delight, the owners made several significant upgrades. The entire exterior was re-shingled, greatly improving the exterior appearance of the house. The outdoor shower was completely rebuilt and was a pleasure to use. The old charcoal grill was replace with a three burner Weber gas grill. Everything needed to have a fabulous stay is provided. I should also say that Lieutenant's Island is bit of magic in its own right. Wellfleet can be a bit hectic at the height of summer but Lieutenant's Island itself has no commercial development and remains very quiet and friendly. Two bay beaches are in walking distance of the house and kayaks and a paddle board are available for use off the lovely bay beaches, show more show less

I spent three and a half weeks at this lovely home on Lieutenant's Island in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. The home was well equipped and spotless when we arrived.

All three bedrooms were very comfortable and the main living area was comfortable and filled with light. Among the best features of the home is it's location, a five minute walk to a quiet bay beach from which swimming and kayaking (two are provided) were delightful.

Paying attention to the tides was more fun than an inconvenience. The owners checked in with us a couple of times and were very responsive to our questions when they arose. They were open to having my dog at this home, a big plus for me.

I would be delighted to spend another vacation there. show more show less

Our family had a happy week on this island. It is a truly beautiful spot, and a wonderful place for children. Our grandchildren, four and seven, had so much fun playing on the deck and the beach allowed for plenty of shallow splashing and seashore exploring! The house is a perfect blend of comfort and very easy, unfussy maintenance. All of Wellfleet's attractions are a short drive, when you're ready!!

This was our family's first time on Lieutenant Island, and we had a truly wonderful experience. The house was perfect for us, spacious, totally relaxing and well equipped. The Inner Beach was a quick stroll from the house, and we took full advantage of the kayak, a wonderful "extra." Being the week of Labor Day, the beaches were quiet and very peaceful.

We loved our numerous walks around the salt marshes on the island and caught several beautiful sunsets on the Outer Beach. Pretty much everyone we encountered on the island was friendly and welcoming. Our dog fell in love with the wrap around deck and spent most all of the week out there, watching birds, squirrels at eye level and lazing in the sunshine. He also enjoyed many trips in the kayak, a first for him. Next time around we’ll take advantage of the lovely tennis court. But we were enjoying ourselves so much with other activities, we just never got around to using it.

We finished the week with our minds and bodies recharged and relaxed, very much a slice of "Old Cape Cod." We all look forward to a return trip. show more show less

We had a wonderful, quiet week! The closeness of the private beach was appreciated by all. The wrap around deck was great for entertaining and socializing. Such a beautiful area. We will be back!

We so loved our recent visit to Lieutenant Island. I hesitate to describe the sense of small neighborhood community and bygone days for fear that all of Massachusetts will flock to this beautiful, quiet place. We were pleased everyday to plan around high tide at the bridge, and enjoy jumping into the salty water with all of our neighbors. We loved the rustic cabin living and had everything we needed during our stay. This is a perfect spot to experience the best of Wellfleet. Highlights of the house included the wraparound deck, the tennis court, and the nearby walks on the marsh. show more show less

My wife and I really enjoyed staying here. Being on the tidal island was great. It's nice and quiet and secluded, with two nice beaches that you have to yourself within walking distance. One of them is fantastic with powdery sand and picturesque views, the other is a little less so, but as good as many other neighborhood beaches on the Cape.

It's a bit of a rustic feel to it and the lack of A/C was a little annoying as we arrived on one of the hottest and most humid days of the year, but it broke quickly and the rest of the week was just fine. The house has everything you might need, and use of the kayak and tennis court was a great bonus. I like its location on the Cape and proximity to great restaurants and beaches. The homeowners were very helpful in directions and tips on the area, also, and easy to deal with logistically. show more show less
