About this house rental
Discover the ultimate sanctuary on exclusive Lieutenant Island with this sun-drenched, contemporary retreat designed for effortless coastal living. Embraced by a peaceful, wooded setting, this spacious four-bedroom home captures the very essence of Cape Cod charm with its light-filled open layout and soaring airiness. Just a short five-minute stroll over scenic dune paths delivers you straight to the island's serene, golden sand beaches, while a quick drive connects you to ocean waves, freshwater ponds, and the vibrant center of Wellfleet.
Inside, the inviting open-concept main floor seamlessly blends the full kitchen, dining area, and living space, creating an ideal setting for easy entertaining. Large sliding glass doors draw the outdoors in, opening wide to an expansive sun deck perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing in the sea breeze. Up to eight guests can spread out comfortably across four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms. The exquisite second-floor primary suite features a luxurious king bed, private adjoining bath, and its own secluded upper deck—a quiet haven for sipping morning coffee or stargazing. Downstairs, convenience shines with a cozy queen bedroom and full bath on the main level, complemented by two additional upstairs bedrooms and third full bathroom.
Equipped with air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and every essential kitchen tool—including a lobster pot for authentic seafood feasts—this home caters to every comfort. Rinse off the salt and sand in the refreshing outdoor shower after a day on the shore, then gather in the private yard to unwind as the sun sets over the island. From its secluded dune trails to its sweeping sun decks, this Lieutenant Island escape offers a timeless Cape Cod getaway you will treasure for years to come.
Access to and from Lieutenant Island may be delayed for 1-2 hours at high tides as the road leading to and from the bridge may be underwater. An administrative fee and applicable taxes may apply. Linens not provided. Guests may rent linens or bring their own.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved the island and proximity to the beach. Wonderful visit overall. House is well laid out. Well equipped kitchen although the dishwasher could use replacing as the racks are quite rusty. 3 bedrooms do not have AC and between warmer summers and having to keep all windows closed due to "no see-ums" (in July), paddle and portable fans were not sufficient. We were unable to sit outside day or night due to bugs. The master bedroom adjoining bath has no shower (which isn't in the listing) and is shared with the twin bedded room which isn't clear in the listing. It also says "a queen [bedroom} and one with two twin beds with another bath". That bath is in the upstairs queen room and not shared with the queen and twin rooms. The bathrooms need more towel racks or hooks to hang towels.To avoid losing our time slot, we had to sign a lease while we were out of the country, but requested doing an on site visit on our return to make sure the house met our parameters. The lease even states that viewing the property is highly recommended. However, after numerous attempts, we were told we couldn't see the house because "we typically don't show vacation rentals or the homes don't show well because they're not rental ready". From what we could tell, the homeowner uses slipcovers on the living room furniture and covers the dining room table with a pad and table cloth which is totally understandable and could easily have been addressed during a visit. Our experience with the agent wasn't great.

We have had another fine stay at 35 Fifth Street. The house is meticulously maintained and equipped. It was perfect when our son and his family visited; they could just use the entire upper floor, with a separate bedroom for each of the older children. For the two of us, it is a peaceful, secluded house. Air conditioning in the master bedroom and downstairs is a plus; we needed it several days this summer.

We have come back to this house several times because it is very comfortable, well-equipped, and spacious enough to house our son's family of 3 children when they visit. The secluded setting provides true privacy. It is clear that the owner takes great care of the property both inside and out.
