Additional Information:
You can walk to Duck Pond! It's a 7-minute (or 12-minute) walk through Cape Cod National Seashore, depending on the path you take. Duck Pond is a locals' favorite, less known to tourists and less crowded than other, larger kettle ponds.
If you are headed to ocean-side beaches (Cahoon Hollow, White Crest) or other kettle ponds (Great Pond, Gull's Pond), you will get there in 5-10 min via side roads, avoiding Route 6 traffic!
Wellfleet Center and Wellfleet Harbor are a short (5-10 min) drive away.
The house was perfect for our group of two adults and two college-age kids. It was clean, in a nice quiet location, and everything was exactly as advertised. The host was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any questions. There’s a great large deck that could use some lounge chairs and better lighting at night, but we had a wonderful stay and hope to return!
We stayed at this house for a week. When we arrived, the house was immaculate. Very clean and everything laid out for us to use, from towels and beach stuff, to picnic supplies and the grill. We loved walking to the Duck Pond. This is a true hidden gem, much more beautiful than we imagined. The town of Wellfleet is an easy bike/car ride away. So are the beaches and Great Pond. Couldn't have asked for an easier home. Great for my girlfriend and I and our three sons. Cant recommend enough!
Family has been vacationing in Wellfleet for 50+ years. Without question, this property ranks as the BEST. Fully equipped, location, environment and delightful host. Thank You for the extraordinary experience!
We stayed at this house a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the stay. The house was as described and check in was easy as was check out. The house was particularly well supplied with cooking gear and oils, spices, etc, even plenty of laundry detergent and hand soap, plus linens. Although not that big, the house was laid out well to eat or sit in the family rooms. Although this was all disclosed and hardly unusual for the cape, the bedrooms other than the master aren’t air conditioned and this was a particularly hot week. No one to blame, but if you are going in July or August and can’t tolerate a warm bedroom it is something to think about. Also, while the house is close to Duck pond and the rail trail, it is actually next to a fully finished/paved section, so you have to bridge a mile, to get to easy bike riding. But once you do, you can keep on biking for miles and miles. The house is a bit off the highway and about a mile and a half from nearest stores/restaurants which makes it quiet, but if you want in town, close walking distance to everything, this isn’t it. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would come back.
The house is really well situated close to duck pond. It is very walkable. It is well stocked, the A/C works well (we did not really need it except for two days). The house was very clean, and the management was responsive and considerate.
The property is very well kept and in a quiet area. We had good communication throughout our stay, and the owners even dropped off a cap I left with friends living in Turo.
We found the house well equipped and very quiet. Good size for 2 couples. Wish the fireplace worked.
The house was perfect for our needs. There were so many nice touches. The owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. The place was so clean. The deck was great. Duck Pond is beautiful and secluded. We would love to rent this again on another trip to the Cape.
We loved this house in Wellfleet. Elena is a wonderful host. The location is a quick, easy drive to National Seashore and the bike trail. If you love to cook like we do, the kitchen has everything you need. The one night we dined out we went to mac’s seafood. Delicious. We did walk to Duck pond. Definitely wear bug spray. Bread and croissants at PB Boulanger to die for. The deck is great for morning workouts and the outdoor shower is amazing. We would definitely stay there again. Can’t recommend it enough.
I spent a week. at this property with my adult daughter for a mother/daughter vacation. It was perfect in every way! The house has everything you could hope for, located in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, truly a 10 minute walk to a very swimmable pond (small lake) and less than a 10 min drive to one of the best beaches on the Cape. It's called White Crest Beach. Many stores and restaurants in the charming town of Wellfleet, which is only a 10 minute drive away and one of the very best Lobster rolls at PJ's, a 5 minute drive away. The kitchen is perfect for cooking at home and/or entertaining and the outdoor deck is inviting for grilling and eating outdoors. We grilled fresh ears of corn on the gas grill that's provided. All in all, well supplied and well laid out home away from home. I'm not easily impressed, tend to be a bit demanding but I came away feeling very grateful for this find.
