Words like "Amazing!" and "Awesome!" don't begin to describe our recent experience at Fairwinds. Former long-time Massachusetts residents, we came up from Florida to spend two weeks on Cape Cod with family members who still reside here (our daughter, son-in-law, and the world's best 2-year-old granddaughter!). The home was even more than we hoped for when we saw the pictures and read the online description. Absolutely beautiful setting, and extremely well-appointed with household goods.
Our granddaughter had the time of her life on the lower deck watching birds, bunnies, chipmunks, and even a huge Tom turkey visit the yard. A very short walk down a path took her to a beach with gentle waves, sand-castle sand, horseshoe crabs, fiddler crabs, minnows, and nice breezes for kite-flying. She also loved watching the boats go in and out from the town pier. We adults loved all that too, plus the beautiful views, ocean breezes, gorgeous sunsets, and star-filled nighttime skies. We also often noted how really, really quiet it was! Many nap-time afternoons were spent on the upper and lower decks reading and soaking up sunshine. And yes, the grown-ups napped too!
And what a convenient location: right on the beach. But just a short drive took us to Marconi Beach for the "big waves" and seal viewing, or to First Encounter Beach for sunset walks and photos. We split our meals between eating at home and sampling Cape Cod food places, all of which were a short drive away. Eating at home was easy. Plenty of dishes, glassware, flatware, platters, utensils, and so on. The Webber grill made me BBQ legend in the family! And whether we ate inside or outside, the views were always spectacular. When we wanted to go out, just a few minutes in the car took us to full breakfast or just coffee and donuts, as well as to wonderful lunch and dinner spots like the Bookstore, Mac's Shack, Moby Dick's, PJ's, and lots more.
We were all absolutely thrilled with our stay at Fairwinds in Wellfleet, and hope to make this a recurring experience for our family. Thank you so much Matt and Kathy for making this experience available to us.
