About this house rental

Nestled in Wellfleet, this lovely house for $609 per night is a great option for your next break. With amazing water views (some of best on Cape) this wonderfully comfortable house is lovingly furnished (Persian rugs, antiques, authentic cottage furniture, custom made coaches, chairs, day bed,and stuffed rocking chairs) and as such has a unique ambiance. Unlike the typically constructed house, Windswept is a post and beam structure (all wood inside and out) that is also an incredibly bright/light home. In addition the homeowners wanted a house that was a quintessential cape cod house from the street side view but wanted much glass on the water side of the house to to take advantage of the amazing views. It has an open floor plan (but also with niches and crannies), 15 ft. cathedral ceilings and enormous numbers of 6 ft by 6 ft windows showcase the amazing panoramic water views and spectacular sunsets. The living area is essentially a huge screened porch (if the gliders are open and the A/C off). This house provides it all. You need only bring yourself and your own personal items as Windswept is totally set up for you to start your vacation from the moment you arrive. No making beds,lugging beach gear,or anything else for that matter. Only SHED LESS dogs are permitted. At high tide, you look right ...out at a mesmerizing view of sailboats, skiers, and other watercraft... whether the sea is calm or in a there is ''chop''. At low tide, you will be struck by the plethora of amazing flocks of water foul (not to mention more than a few oyster gatherers). Windswept's view is looking out toward Great Island. Windswept is close to many of Wellfeet's ocean, bay, and pond beaches, including its own. There are more bay , ocean, and pond beaches in Wellfleet nearby...more than any other town on the cape. Windswept is within biking distance (less than a mile) of the entrance to the Cape Cod Bike Trail and about as far in the other direction to the largest Audubon Society in Massachusetts. Every day and evening you will have an abundance of activities from which to choose. There are the Shakespeare performances, nightly concerts, poetry readings, historical lectures, book signings, and much more. The Windswept home itself has a very large open living space (LR, DR, and kitchen.) It has multiple clusters of seating areas so groups with differing agendas may enjoy an assortment of activities.... while remaining together on one floor. All floors are covered with authentic Oriental Persian rugs or hand made area rugs. In the sitting/dining room there is a huge (4 seater) coach, a day bed, Morris chair, platform rocker, and Bose music system. This room also has a claw and ball antique table that can seat from 6 to 14 people depending on your needs. Unless watching TV or needing different rooms for different clusters of family members, this is ''everyone's'' favorite living space. The LR also has many gliders and has equally fabulous water views. It has a seating arrangement that has 2 coaches, a large matching stuffed chair and a rocking chair. This room has the upstairs TV with an extensive cable subscription. The new (2012) gourmet kitchen has hand made wooden counter tops, custom built shaker style cabinets made of white ash, a huge island with recycle bins, new commercial grade stainless steel appliances (gas stove), and a lovely new slate floor. ( The woodworker is hoping the kitchen will be written up in Fine Home Building Magazine as was the bathroom he did for us a couple of years ago.) The amazing lighting artwork/ fixtures in the kitchen is the signature piece of the kitchen. The kitchen is provisioned for even the most sophisticated gourmet cook (between the pots and pans, baking dishes, every gadget imaginable, and more spices than you could imagine. In both primary living spaces, you will feel like you are sitting right ''on top'' of the bay. There is a new double room outdoor enclosed shower with a dressing suite as well. The new outdoor shower has a private entrance from the master bedroom. There is a second outdoor shower adjacent to the back door. The first floor has four bedrooms. The MB has a king size bed with a Temper-Pedic mattress and three 6 foot by 6 foot glider windows showcasing more fabulous water views. Also, the MB has its own sitting area, cable TV, a second Bose Music System, and its own master bath. The other three bedrooms all have access to the main bath off the center hall. One bedroom can be set up with a king size bed or two twin beds, another bedroom has a set of twin beds and the fourth bedroom has a double bed. All beds (other than MB have either custom made mattresses which are usually comfortably and always commented on. At Windswept, the vacationer will have access to umpteen non fiction books about Wellfleet and Cape Cod. There are always plenty of top ten recent fictional books and fictional books either written by local authors and/or set in local cape cod settings. Our goal is to provide a unique home to Cape Cod vacationers. We are committed to insuring that Windswept provides a feeling of casual luxury, a home with exceptional water views, and a home that is exceedingly welcoming upon arrival. The house has a team of cleaning people including the owners who spend at least 24 hours between departing and arriving guests, cleaning/readying the house for our incoming guests. You, the vacationer, need only begin your relaxing, special and comfortable vacation. Every bed is made up with 600+ percale cotton sheets. Every room has been cleaned from top to bottom. Windswept provides beach towels, bathroom towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, and other items upon request. It is our hope and wish that, with the fabulous breezes, the comfortable and luxurious feel of the house, and the majestic views, you, our guest, will feel immediately upon arrival.

This was truly the most magical vacation home we have ever stayed in. The views alone are enough to recommend this home, but there is much, much more. The house is fully stocked with absolutely everything you could ever want or need - from cooking supplies to towels, extra blankets, plenty of beach reads, and even a personal caddy for every guest that includes all the things you might forget, like sunscreen, shampoo, aloe, and razors. The decor is casual and elegant with plenty of seating for a spectacular view of the marsh - whether from inside on a cloudy day or sitting on the deck, or on the hammock in the ample front yard. The Ingrams have thought of everything to make guests feel welcomed and cared for. We have already booked our stay for next summer and cannot wait to return.

We had a magnificent week staying at Windward in Wellfleet. The property and setting was even better than the photos and the owners could not have been better hosts. My parents- 86 and 91- enjoyed the master bedroom and spent days out of the sun on the lower patio enjoying spectacular views of Pleasant Point and Great Island. The rest of us enjoyed days lounging on the second floor enjoying the cozy spaces, fabulous kitchen and spectacular views. Windward is a real home- and becomes that for the people who stay there. We will treasure our memories of this week - and so grateful to Elisabeth and David for taking care of us- and their lovely Wellfleet retreat.

What a lovely, clean, cozy home! Incredible views. The owner has thought of everything that is needed to enjoy your Cape Cod vacation. Great location. Close to fantastic restaurants, art galleries, & seafood markets. Of course stunning bayside and ocean beaches are minutes away. Hoping to return next year. Thank you Elisabeth & Doug

This house offers a lot (well equipped kitchen, great bathrooms, lovely deck, big table, comfy chairs, tons of beach equipment, etc) in a relatively small space. Small children will need lots of supervision (I was warned!) and if you are a big group you may feel a bit crowded. But the neighborhood is great for walking and the view is phenomenal. Plus, getting the place perfect for renters appears to be a passion project for the owners and nothing that could be done to make your stay more comfortable is neglected. Has a 'charming B&B feel' with great sheets, towels, etc. We ahd a great week.

Watching the ever changing landscape of the tidal marsh, gorgeous sunset cocktail hour on the deck, plenty of comfy couches for lounging and reading and every detail thought of sums up our week. Elisabeth and Doug have created a beautiful oasis and are super conscientious in ensuring you have the best, more carefree vacation at their house. This is the 7th house I've rented on the Cape over the last 20 years and definitely the best. Honestly the photos don't capture the specialness of this home.

This is one of the most stunning homes I've seen on the Cape. The sweeping views from both the living and bedroom levels (2 of 4 bedrooms) exceeded my hopes and dreams. It is a very comfortable and expansive living area and the kitchen is equipped with everything imaginable. There is also a lovely deck with ample seating and a dining table so you can enjoy a cocktail meal or just relax in the sun. If you have the opportunity to rent this house, GRAB IT!

A wonderful stay in a well maintained property. Everything was taken into account to make our stay perfect. We’re ready to re-book for next year. Owners Elisabeth and Douglas were readily available and helpful in pointing out beaches and restaurants. I strongly recommend this property.

My wife and I stayed at Windward for seven nights at the beginning of July. In one word, our experience was "exceptional." Elisabeth and Doug were wonderful, attentive, hosts who provided is with all the information about Windward that made the week fly by. So the sunsets from the deck are amazingly beautiful; the changes in the bay waters are a wonder to behold; the accoutrements in the house are very tastefully and aesthetically pleasing; very user-friendly kitchen, SPOTLESS house, quiet, and serene. Close to restaurants and five minute drive to center Wellfleet. We highly recommend staying ate Windward. What a find!
