Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is a treasure on the National Seashore. Unlike the suburban cookie cutters that have popped up along the Cape, it has the authentic character of a classic Cape cottage. We loved the antiques and the beautiful paintings of local lighthouses on the walls.

The location is unbelievable—the private dock on the pond was the perfect reading spot, and the ocean is only a ten-minute walk away. We usually had the beach to ourselves, as it's a few miles from the crowded public areas down the road.

The cottage is nestled in the forest preserve with only a few neighbors, making it a serene retreat with spectacular birdwatching and stargazing opportunities.

On rainy days, we enjoyed browsing the shelf of books on local Wellfleet history, as well as playing board games and cards on the glassed-in porch.

It's almost impossible to find places like this left on the Cape, and we are so excited to make it an annual tradition!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is rustic for sure. The space was comfortable and the screened back porch nice for meals. The location was great, so near the ponds and especially the beach. The trees blocked any good views. But the house was dusty and needed a good scrubbing Windows are foggy, needed to wash the glasses before we could use them. And the wiring used multiple extension cords and it was hard to find outlets. The toaster and the toaster oven on the back porch did not work, and one light was blown on a bedroom lamp.

I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Too much historical and odd items to feel comfortable especially the huge portrait over the fireplace. Twin beds very uncomfortable. Very isolated did not expect a mile long sand road for two way traffic or long isolated driveway. Directions difficult to find place. So many mosquitoes we had to run from car to cottage. Honestly it felt haunted.
