A perfect Cape Cod retreat! On a quiet street, yet in the center of town, this house is ideal for a family vacation. The house is designed to offer privacy; a separate apartment on the bottom floor has it's own kitchen, bath and sitting area, and the bedrooms are situated on the first floor so that grandparents, or visiting friends, can have a little peace and quiet, even with kids running around.

This charming Cape house is within walking distance of everything. You don't need to get into your car to go to the general market, restaurants, galleries, Mayo Beach, shops or, most importantly, the ice cream shop.

The house is airy and light, but cozy. There is great cross ventilation, so it never seems hot, even in August. We have significantly renovated the house for 2016, so that it combines the best of a traditional cape house, but has been spruced up: we have reshingled, repainted, and have a newly revamped bathroom.

Everything is within easy distance of the house. The new community center is a two minute walk, so that young and old alike can enjoy the activities there. You can walk to get your morning coffee and croissant, and the only dilemma will be whether you spend 2 minutes to go to the market or to the Flying Fish Cafe, or decide to stroll an extra 5 minutes to one of the other great breakfast places.

In the evening, you have your choice of cooking in the spacious kitchen and grill, and entertaining yourselves and guests, or walking to one of the many fabulous restaurants. You can chill with a bottle of wine and Wellfleet oysters on the deck as the kids run around the backyard.

Rainy days don't feel claustrophobic because the house is well designed, and there is plenty of space, a rarity in a house that sleeps 10. We love playing board games (and have quite a collection), or putting together puzzles as a family. This house allows you to bond as a family, but doesn't force you to be in each others' space.

Older kids can walk to the town pier, play basketball at the community court, go fly kites on the beach, or meet friends at the Mac Shack. Bring or rent bicycles for the whole family and go on the Rail Trail (an easy ride for all ages) or go to the National Seashore, a beautiful, but more challenging ride. Teens can even ride bikes to the ocean beaches and ponds.

Please wander and linger on this website so you can get a real sense of our home for you and your family. Know that linens are not provided, and I am happy to talk more about any details you have questions about - whether the house or our wonderful sanctuary here on the Cape.

Keywords: Perfect Wellfleet house, with space and privacy to accommodate multiple generations joining together for a wonderful vacation. Charming inside and out, a traditional Cape style home, ideally situated. Walk to restaurants, galleries, Mayo beach, the general market or the WHAT theater. Interior is spacious and open, can accommodate a large family (or two) without feeling cramped.

    This was our third year staying at this lovely house in Wellfleet. And as soon as we got home, we signed up for our fourth. Our whole family loves this house and the visit we make to it each year. The location is excellent. There is easy access to shops, the town center, the library, and gelato. We can reach any of the many beaches and ponds. We like to visit within 10 minutes. The house itself is spacious and beautifully decorated. Every year, something else has been improved. Also, John, the property manager, is always available to deal with any concerns or repairs. Udayan, one of the owners, is welcoming and super responsive. We really can’t say enough about how much we love this place. And, of course, it is located in one of our favorite places on the planet: Wellfleet. Our young grandchildren have gotten to be old enough to remember last year to look forward to the next, and being able to stay in this house makes it all possible.

    The house worked well for us. The owner and property manager were very accessible for any questions. (We didn’t have any problems.) After many decades (!) renting on the Cape, we were in town for the first time and it was fun. Only suggestions: Hopefully the website has been updated to include a wonderful outdoor shower and 6 queen beds - not 4 queens and 2 full. And maybe one bedroom could have twin beds for kids. We had a lovely time. Thank you to the Shah family and manager John.

    This is one of the best VRBO experiences. Home is wonderful for a family. Parent and two children on second floor with a really beautiful bathroom. Two private bedrooms on first floor, with a huge open K, LR and dining room and bath. Private separate studio in ground level with laundry private bath and extra space for grandparents. So total of 6 queens. Everything was artistically presented with limited clutter and still everything you needed. More than just starters, they had a huge amount of extras. Tons of nice pans and bowls and kitchen stuff. Games for the kids. Three lovely bathroom showers and an outside one. Back yard was beautiful and private, lovely deck, lovely flowers. Easy walk to town ( 2 doors) and bay, less than a mile. Grocery right there, no need to eat out unless you want. Owner and manager were immediately responsive when I realized I needed to either bring or rent sheets and towels, forgot that was a cape thing. Welcome message was very thorough with lots of great advice. We didn't bother with beach pass since there are a few kettle ponds and bay beach with no charges. I can't say enough about the great treatment by owner and manger. We will definately be back.

    The location is walkable to Main St, the grounds have lovely plantings, the house is big enough to give a family space, in short it’s a great place to stay.

    My family has been visiting Wellfleet for over 50 years. We have rented various properties in various locations. We love the location of this property. It is right off Wellfleet’s Main Street but easily walkable to the harbor and bay beach. It is great for families as bathrooms on every level and good kitchen and living space. Hoping to visit next year!

    This is our second time in this house. We had a wonderful time (again). It was ideal for our multi-generational family - great to be so close to town. Perfect layout for family socializing and wonderful to have the bottom floor set up like a separate apartment (but still accessible from interior stairs).

    This was our second year at this house. Since our children were young, we've rented many Cape houses over the years, but this one is the best. As parents of grown children with children of their own, this house is perfect for us. The house is pretty and comfortable, and there is plenty of space inside. This year, we had beautiful weather, but last year, when we had a rainy week, everyone still had fun doing things in the house. There is also a beautiful deck and landscaped backyard that still has lots of room for children to play in. It is conveniently close to town, which is great for picking up milk and other groceries. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen and dining room are filled with light, and it is fun to cook and eat there or on the deck. Both the owner and the caretaker are incredibly nice and responsive. This house is such a treasure, and we and all the rest of our family hope to go back again next summer.

    This family vacation was wonderful in this house just steps away from center of Wellfleet. We loved being so close to coffee shops, bakery, ice cream shop and grocery and fish markets. Another added plus, being the owner of an EV, there is a fast charger walking distance from house.

    My children, spouses and grandchildren shared this lovely family home with me for our two week stay in Wellfleet June2024. The house was clean and the space was great for the 4 families. Bedrooms and a bathroom on each of 3 floors gave each family only a few people sharing each bathroom. Additionally there was a new out door shower the kids used exclusively! There was good off street parking for 3 SUVs, a newly sodded and landscaped back yard. The kitchen had plenty of dinnerware and cooking equipment but more flatware would be appreciated. It was great having 2 refrigerators to store food and drink for 10. The location is great with easy walking to ‘downtown’ Wellfleet, the library and gelato is right across the street! I highly recommend this property.
