Description

Post and Beam home with a bay view from the gated south facing deck. Full kitchen with a gas range, microwave, coffee maker, blender, Frig, dishwasher, and all utensils. There are two private bay beaches that are less than 1/2 mile walk on sandy roads. The ocean beaches and fresh water ponds are about two miles East. There is easy access to the bike path which leads from S. Wellfleet up Cape to Brewster and Provincetown.Ptown is 20 miles North. Lt. Island is ringed by the Audubon Sanctuary and has great walking and back water boating. Located at the house are two bikes(one with a child's seat), a canoe, windsurfer, and surf board. The bedrooms on the main level have a queen and a double bed, while the loft has a king bed and double futon. The basement has a full laundry. Pets are allowed except on the town beaches and Audubon trails. TV and internet access with direct and wireless connections. Mini splits are present for hot days.

Activities: The house is located in the center of Lt. Island. It has a distant bay view with quiet sandy roads leading to two private beaches 1/2 mile in either direction from the house. There are no street lights on the island, so it is wonderful for star gazing. The bike rail trail is located 1.5 miles away on Rt. 6, and there are two bikes at the house. There is a canoe, windsurfer, and sunfish at the house but one would need a car rack, or truck to take them to either of the beaches.
Lt. Island is an exclusive location due to the causeway that leads onto the island. When tides are greater than 9.5 feet, the road will go under water for varying times depending upon the size of the tide. At high tides, the marshes to the north, east and south are wonderful for boating, bird watching, and fishing. Fishing for striped bass,blue fish and boating are best at the private north beach, while sunbathing and swimming are best at the private south beach.

Amenities: There is a Stereo system, TV, CD player, and Cassette player. Please bring extra books and movies to complement the selection already present. There is cable to the house and it supplies direct and wireless internet access and TV reception.

First of all, the house is beautiful. Clean and had every thing we needed plus more. The owner, Foster, was extremely accommodating with our questions etc. the island itself is just magical. With a few beaches within walking distance, lots of birds, turtles, sea shells oh and the resident fox!Neighbors were all very friendly and welcoming.Close to all neighboring beach towns, beaches and attractions. We wish we could have stayed longer.2 full bathrooms including an outdoor shower came in handy for our large family as well as washer and dryer!Can’t give this enough stars!

All you could ask for as far accommodations go. Nothing was lacking. Perfect location. Very on hands and attentive owner which was very helpful when old people like us couldnt figure out how to work the smart tv!! Owner facetimed with us and fixed it! Highly recommend this outstanding house and this outstanding place.

We loved Lt Island: quiet and private, wooded and beach. And we loved the house. We spent hours on the deck, eating and playing games and reading. Great spot to relax and enjoy a quiet spot on Cape Cod.

Lieutenant's Island is secluded and peaceful, and the house absolutely suited our needs. Very sizable patio for relaxing and grilling, and a great loft space with king size bed. Also, I forgot a jacket there and the hosts graciously called me to let me know and shipped it to my house within days.

The location was really fun, the tides can get in the way but planning around was easy. Jumping off the bridge was a blast. Would definitely go back!

The uniqueness of this property allows you to explore and discover the natural features of this island. Get to the island via a one lane wooden bridge which requires you to be patient and share! A short bike ride or car ride will find you on a bay beach with few to no people around. Ocean beaches are a short ride off island. Ice cream and summer type food are served across the street at Bob’s on route 6, a family owned business who aim to please. And, behind Bob’s is the bike trail that will take you to Marconi Beach or south to Eastham. Even though Lieutenant’s Island is a secluded setting, it is surrounded with many things to do for both young and old.
