Our family of (5) plus a couple friends stayed at this spacious house and it was perfect. When we were looking at the house, I told my Wife I bet the pictures don't do it justice, I was right. The "pond" has more of a small lake feel and was perfect for all the kids. The house comes with it's own small marina and a floating dock off shore to dive and fish from. Highly suggest fishing, some big bass in there. Essentially you have two homes bridged together creating a ton of space. The entire back of the house has seating areas that have great views of the pond, plus a large deck off the master and living room. All that and you're still only a 5 min. ride to the ocean. 25 min. or so to P-town. I could go on and on. Hope to stay there again sometime.

We love Wellfleet in the summer and this Great Pond house does not disappoint! This home is beautiful, spacious, and comfortable with a quick drive to quaint downtown Wellfleet and beaches. The pond is perfect for swimming. SUP, and canoeing. There is nothing like the peacefulness of having coffee on the porch in the morning looking out at the sparkling pond and the sound of the frogs at night under a sky full of stars.

We returned to this lovely home this summer and it is just as wonderful as we remembered it. Nothing better than peaceful mornings by the pond, paddleboarding and kayaking with the kids, and exploring the beautiful natural delights of Wellfleet. We hope to return yet again!

We loved our stay at Tammy and Terry’s property. Exploring the lake by kayak, going to the nearby Atlantic beaches, and walking around Welfleet were some highlights. This property is a lovely home base for your outer cape vacation.

We had such a wonderful time at Great Pond. It was the perfect spot for us, with my husband and me in the main house, and my daughter and her partner in the attached cottage. They loved the privacy of their own space and couldn't rave enough about the outdoor shower! The main house was far more luxurious than we'd expected, and even in mid-September, the gas fireplace was much appreciated! But for as lovely as the house was, we spent most of our time there relaxing on the comfortably furnished decks over-looking the pond. The listing tells you exactly what to expect when you visit so the only surprises are the extras we found there. The provided amenities for outdoor activities (beach chairs, beach toys, kayaks, paddle board, outdoor shower, etc) as well as a fully stocked kitchen, complete with plenty of plates and glasses as well as every cooking utensil you could want. But the best part was starting and ending the day sitting outside and looking out over the pond. We definitely hope to visit again in the future!

The location can't be beat. The pond is amazing. The Big House is great, with everything you need. Summerside house needs some work. The bathroom is tiny. It would be nice to have an indoor shower. The oven needed to be cleaned and got very smoky when we first used it. I'm sure the owners are happy to take care of this as they seem very responsible. It would be better to have photos and more explanation of how small the bathroom is in Summerside. I still recommend staying here, especially in the Big House.

Three generations of our family spent an amazing week on Great Pond. We had perfect weather in June to swim, paddleboard and kayak. Special times were breakfast and dinner on the screened porch, enjoying the pond from early morning through the evening. My 85 year old mother-in-law could enjoy the pond from an easy chair on the the porch and patio, while the water was just down the steps for the rest of the family. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we needed for cooking,from basic baking supplies/spices to a blender, lots of pot/pans, etc. We enjoy the ocean beaches (just a mile walk), but the beauty, privacy and solitude 24/7 of the pond can't be beat! The house is very spacious, with lots of room for our group to relax and hang out. . It's a home we felt fortunate to share for a week. Welflleet is a short drive for groceries and other shopping including the General Store and Hatch's fish market, yummy seafood restaurants and great biking.We've enjoyed other rentals near Wellfleet over the years, but Tammy's house on Great Pond is our favorite. We can't wait to return in 2019. She's is a an accommodating host, quickly responding to all our inquiries.

We had a wonderful time at Tammy and Terry's house. The house is in a beautiful location and is nicely furnished, very well equipped kitchen, and clean. When I had a problem, Tammy came over right away and called the plumbers, who came the next morning to fix the problem. We loved waking up the beautiful views of the pond, and the canoes were a plus.
