About this house rental
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.

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.

We continue to be impressed with the improvements that we see each year. This year it was a new inside paint job along with the new back privacy fence and garden plantings.
