About this house rental

Welcome to Wind, Sand & Stars! Not just a destination but an experience.....this house is the ultimate waterfront escape offering an unmatched summer setting rarely available. Whether it is the dazzling sunsets over the water that light up the sky and can be seen from every room, the direct access to a salt water sandy beach at the edge of the harbor right outside your doorstep or star gazing from the panoramic roof deck, this property has the best of all worlds.

Accessed via a long rustic dirt road that winds through salt water marshes, you will arrive at this truly unique one-of-a-kind setting. The house is situated literally on its own private coastal sand dune and sitting alone on a secluded peninsula that juts out into the water. The property offers the utmost in privacy & has absolutely stunning 360 degree water views; from one side you view out across Blackfish Creek to Wellfleet Harbor and beyond to Cape Cod Bay, the other side of the house looks out into pristine salt marshes and rivers. Once here, wander down your own gently sloping staircase with direct access to a semi-private sandy salt water beach waiting for you right at your toes. From here you can walk along the beach, wade into the harbor's shallow tidal waters or explore the flats.

The house sits on the banks of where Wellfleet Harbor, Blackfish Creek and Loagy Bay all converge. Enjoy a wade into these safe, warm and calm shallow tidal waters, which are equally great for the kids. At low tide you can walk hundreds of yards out on the flats and to various sand bars, while hunting for hermit crabs, shells etc. and see up close and personal the oyster farms that yield the renowned Wellfleet oysters. For deep water swimming, high surf and world class beaches, we offer a free parking pass to the nearby Cape Cod National Seashore, including the famous Marconi Beach which is less than a 5 minute drive away. Numerous other town and state beaches are within a short driving distance.

The house has a rarely seen ultra-functional layout offering dual master bedrooms both with en-suite private bathrooms and sitting areas overlooking water as far as the eye can see. The slightly larger of the 2 master suites features a queen size bed and updated bathroom (shower stall, no tub). The other master suite offers a queen size bed with original bathroom (shower stall, no tub). The 3rd bedroom is small and ideally outfitted for kids as it has bunk beds. All the bedrooms are on the 2nd level of the house. The 1st floor main level has a large living area with dual couches, one of which is a full size pull-out sofa sleeper which sleeps 2. There is a fully applianced kitchen with open design and a small breakfast bar/island. The separate dining area overlooks the harbor and beyond with 180 degree water views. There is an additional 1/2 bathroom on this level. For those needing to plug in and do some work while away, there is an office with desk on the 2nd level which overlooks beautiful, peaceful rivers and salt water marshes. New state-of-the-art air conditioning system recently installed! Please note there is a spiral staircase required for access from the main living level up to the second floor bedrooms/office and then up to the roof deck.

**COVID-19 CLEANING** Please note that our staff has implemented cleaning best-practices to help ensure the safest environment possible. This includes sanitizing and disinfecting all high touch surfaces throughout the property. We also utilize a medical-grade fogging compound that is applied via machine to sanitize large portions of the house that would be otherwise difficult to clean and treat. This product is safe, environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Data sheet and specs can be sent upon request. As a result of increased cleaning protocols we have therefore extended the time it takes for our crew to turn-over the property prior to new guests arriving. As such we have pushed our check-in time back to 3:00 PM.

To wrap our stay up in a nutshell, 4 days before our stay the landlord let us know there was a problem with 3 dogs (one is a service dog). Communicating is ALWAYS 50/50. He told me I'd forfeit entire pmnt of our 2 week vaca, he didn't even want our golden retriever bc of the hair/his allergies. It was last min for us to find sitters so I ended up going back/forth to see my family twice during the 2 weeks (3 1/2 hr ride in each direction) That aside, the place was dingy, not well kept, screws missing out of wall vents that were sticking out, our 5 year old fell into one that slashed her thigh. He showed no concern of the child whatsoever when I told him about the vent. The gas grill for family cookouts never worked, he told us to try and fix it bc his maintenance guy "does not do grills". When we didn't want to mess with a gas grill he said it was junk anyway, just use it as a charcoal grill! When I offered a solution to purchase from a place on the cape nearby that delivered, he had the nerve to state in his email that he only wanted "marine quality" grills. The grill at the house was FAR from marine quality, it was a piece of junk. The ac filters were COMPLETELY clogged (I wonder how that affects his allergies???), one exit from the kitchen was completely blocked off bc the decking had no steps, completely dangerous. The plus of the house is it has beautiful views and it was nice to watch the oyster fishermen. I would NEVER even recommend this house to my worst enemy!

This was the second time that my daughters and I stayed here. Its a really fun location, and a fun property with the roof deck, spiral stairs (my girls LOVE both), fantastic views, and easy access to Wellfleet harbor. The beach is secluded, but is accessed daily by local oyster farmers (which I found endlessly entertaining) as well as a handful of locals. Even so, we were most often the only people on the sand. The bay is very shallow, with no real surf to speak of, but there are numerous Atlantic facing beaches nearby for when the kids want to play in the waves. We used kayaks to take advantage of the water at the property, which was a highlight for us. The girls really liked paddling out into the bay and landing at any number of secluded beach locations, facing deeper parts of Wellfleet harbor. The owner (Jeff) was friendly and helpful, and easy to communicate with. But frankly, the pre-prepared "user guide" had all the information that we needed. We will almost certainly be visiting again.

We are long time Wellfleet lovers and were really pleased with this house, tucked between the Bay and the salt marsh. It's tides, sunsets, sand and water in a secluded setting. The beach is right outside. The house itself is lovely and very well equipped. Jeff, the owner, communicates very well and clearly. Two minor notes which could pose a slight problem depending on your group. The staircase is steep and spiral and the third bedroom is very small with just two bunk beds. We were fine though. If you love Wellfleet and enjoy privacy in a unique house and setting, this is a great choice.

The house was perfect. Each bedroom with its own bathroom suite and water views from every room. It was a wonderful week and Jeff was wonderful to deal with. I am looking forward to returning!!

We were captivated by the ever-changing tides and light. We booked this house to get a dose of seaside relaxation. Our visit was in early April and we enjoyed seeing the businesses that close for the winter begin to re-open. others who have stayed here we were fascinated the first time that low tide drained the water on the Bay side of the house, revealing all the oyster farms. (And looked forward to each new low tide to see it again.) Our host, Jeff, sent a House Guide and arrival instructions before we came and was responsive when we had house questions. The kitchen had a range of pans and utensils - everything we needed. Our bed was comfortable and the shower had immediate hot water. We had lovely weather the first few days and a Nor'easter mid-week - I think it is always a little windy here which I am sure is welcome in the heat of summer. We did day trips to Provincetown, Chatham, and various National Seashore Beaches. But much of the time we just enjoyed the views in all directions from the house and walks along the beach. Definitely on our list for a future return visit.

We had a great one week stay. The views in every direction are remarkable and the in- and out-flows of the tide add a calming rhythm to the day. We immediately felt comfortable in the house (which is probably the highest compliment I can give a rentail). Jeff is a great host and the house just naturally makes you want to have family meals around the dining table or to grab a nook, a book, and a view to read. An unseasonably cool, cloudy, and sometimes wet week meant that we did not get the perfect sunsets or clear starry nights we were hoping for, but I have no doubt they would be amazing. The one thing to mention is that being on the marshy/bay side of the Cape, there are some biting bugs to contend with, so you'll want to have some bug spray when you go outside. With that said, I'm not sure you can call a vacation successful if you do not leave with a bit of a sunburn and a few bug bites.

We had the pleasure for staying at this property for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is private yet accessible-while we expected some flooding it never impacted our ability to access the property or elsewhere. The bedrooms were spacious and the view from all windows was spectacular. Special treats were the sunsets, sunrises, and oyster beds right outside our windows. Jeff was a very accommodating host attending to all details before, during and after our stay. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
