We stayed for a week in Drew's place and had such a special time. The proximity of the house to the water, use of the kayak, the view from the deck, and the Audubon land nearby were all highlights. We saw diamond back terrapins, a seal, plenty of shore birds and red foxes, and so many horseshoe crabs. Kids loved marveling at the size of the shells, riding their bikes around the island, fishing at high tide, and jumping off the LI bridge. We hope to return.

Great cape cod cottage, easy access to the ocean, lots of biking and kayaking available nearby. The kitchen could use an upgrade.

This was an amazing spot. I t was an excellent weekend we were so comfortable. The owner was super helpful and a pleasure to work with. We will be back soon. The tides were fun to watch. Make sure you make it back and enjoy the time on the island.

We picked the perfect spot for our first February stay in Wellfleet. The cottage and furnishings were clean and comfortable for our five-day getaway. Of course, the views of the bay and every day's sunset were unbeatable! We were "lucky" enough to be there for a snowy, windy nor-easter and had a front-row seat to Mother Nature's dramatic performance. Drew kept in touch and reassured us beforehand that we would not be left in the cold and dark—and we never were, though other areas of the Cape lost power. As the owners have noted, the stairs and the causeway may not suit everyone, but we had no problems with either. The adventure of timing our comings and goings (and our Valentine's Day restaurant reservation in P-town) to the tides only added to the feeling that we were somewhere unique and private. (Can't vouch for the swimming and kayaking--we're not THAT adventurous.) Already looking forward to rebooking next year!

Stayed for a long weekend to celebrate NYE away from the world. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. Everything was very clean, well equipped with the basics, and comfortable. Solar power, new heating/ cooling system, and reliable WiFi were great. Takes some planning to get on and off the island around the tide schedule, but that kind of added to the fun. A thrill to watch the tides come and go, excellent bird watching, and so, so peaceful. Some quirks in the older kitchen, but workable. Highly recommend!

This home is very cozy, as the description says, but you will be spending most of your time on the deck or exploring Lieutenants Island. The deck has expansive views of the bayside and harbor, with gorgeous scenes of clouds, water, and sand. Easy for kayaking and beach enjoying, Walking out 1/4 mile at low tide is really fun, our dog loved it! Given the tides and limitations of travel, you can’t pass off the island for a period around high tide, but it is great to really live by the tides on your vacation!
Drew was great to work with.
The kitchen is very usable. We cooked up terrific local fish on the grill easily. The family room is comfortable as well. The Wi-fi is fine, but a little limited on the island. Beautiful places to explore, very relaxed environment, and all the rest that Wellfleet has to offer also. Very memorable experience!

When we pulled into the driveway, we both said, "Wow..."
The location of the property is AMAZING!
It is a charming cottage with everything we needed and more. The teak floors throughout were gorgeous, as well as the private back deck with spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of the ocean. We are already missing beach walks at low tide, and the great shell picking. It was so peaceful.
The only neighbors we met were very friendly.
Drew could not have been a better host; he was extremely accommodating and informative, and just a phone call away if we needed anything.
Our rescue dog, BB, thoroughly enjoyed himself, too. His favorite thing was hanging on the back deck, with so much to see and smell. His nose was high in the air when he wasn't napping.
We are already thinking of next year's anniversary!

The panoramic views and sunsets from the living room, dining room and deck are wonderful. The cottage was clean and the kitchen adequate. With temperatures during our stay in the 40s at night, we were a bit chilly in the downstairs bedroom, with only the baseboard heat from the bathroom.
The road to the cottage is single lane with few adequate turnouts to let another vehicle pass. In mid-April, there were few people on the island, but it’s hard to imagine how people manage in high tourist season. In one section of the road, the driver has to choose between hitting a fence or dropping the wheels of the car off the edge of the road. One really needs a 4-wheel drive vehicle.

This clean, efficient, well-appointed cottage has a superb location with a view over miles of Massachusetts Bay. In all times and conditions, there's something interesting to see from the deck. Sunlight, starlight, high tide, low tide, wind, calm... all create beautiful effects. Inspiring, restorative, and private. It's a good base from which to explore the Outer Cape. The owners are very responsive and friendly.

Really beautiful property
My husband, our dog, and I loved our stay at the cottage. The view from the deck is unbelievable and it is wonderful to watch the change in the tides. The cottage is beach front and very private. It was a relaxing and remote place to stay for the week. Beautiful sunsets from the deck. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor shower was a dream. There were a lot of ticks around the property but that is to be expected and at no fault of the owners. We hope to stay at this property again!

Spectacular views from a cozy cottage
The cottage is neat, clean and very well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. But you're here for the views, and they don't disappoint. The cottage is steps from the seawall and you have an uninterrupted panorama of the ocean from the large deck and every room on the upper level. At low tide we walked around the island and far out onto the sand flats. At night the stars are spectacular. Drew was a great host. He reached out to us before, during, and after our stay to make sure everything was in order and we were enjoying our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing Seaside Cottage!
We were so pleased with our winter weekend at this seaside cottage. It's truly a magical spot to just unwind and enjoy nature.
The views off the deck are amazing, especially the sunsets. Even with the frigid temperatures, the house stayed warm and cozy all weekend. Drew was an excellent host and provided everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

A needed rest
Drew and Heather's cozy waterfront cottage was exactly what we needed for a 2 day getaway. We were arriving at dark and Drew thoughtfully went over the turn the lights on for us. The view from the living area is mesmerizing - you can watch the tide go way out then come right back up to the wall again. We took a great walk at low tide around the island and back up the steps to the house from the beach. The cottage had everything we needed. Magical.

Great House with a Stunning View
Just returned from a great few days at Drew and Heather’s cottage right on the bay. On the first morning, a seal swam right by the deck…in November! Drew and Heather were wonderful hosts and very responsive to any questions. I’d definitely recommend their cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The Lieutenant Island Secret
We go every year to Lieutenant Island to truly disconnect, and this year we found the house that was the answer to our quest!
We swam at high tide from our “own private beach.” We watched the sunset from our front row balcony on the water. We had Jack’s Kayaks bring our boats to the house, but needed two strong sets of hands to drag the boats down and up from the water.
The cross breeze was crucial but mostly available; the house sits high on a bluff in the sun all day with no AC. And bring watershoes to save your feet from shells and rocks on the beach. I would not bring a baby to this house-definitely would return with adult friends though!
4.0
Below average
Found the view great. But that was about it. Furniture outdated, bed old smelly and uncomfortable, just a dirty feeling all around. My wife had to do some work from home and wifi/hotspot was terrible. We actually left a day early because house was so bad. Should not be rated a 5 by no means.

Perfect location
The cottage itself was comfortable and well equipped. Quality sliding doors in the living/dining area provide a great view and were especially appreciated on windy days, no rattling (we know from past experience in other cottages on the Cape). Internet was good. We did have connection problems early on but Drew responded quickly, contacting the service provider and things were fine after that.
Basics aside, the location is what this place is about. Close to and a little above the sea wall. A panoramic view of Wellfleet Harbor from Indian Neck to Jeremy Point (check out a map) Neighbors nearby but not obtrusive. A spacious and pretty private deck to enjoy it all from. And the tides. From high tide at the sea wall to low tide flats a half mile or more out. Better than anything on TV.

Great Location!!
The views and location of property were amazing! Beautiful sunsets and lots of beach to explore especially during low tide. Very friendly people on the island. Perfect location to get around all of Cape Cod and explore. House was perfect for two people. Awesome deck to sit out and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean. The only, very minor issue was with the grill, could use some work or even be replaced.

You won’t want to leave!
As soon as I drove across the causeway and onto the island I felt calm and relaxed. I had one of the best days in a long time sitting on the deck, watching the ocean and birds, and sitting in the sun. The tides were big and the landscape changed with the tides. At high tide and with a big wind the waves splash up on the tall grass close to the deck. The sun fills the cottage at sunset. If you want to go off island their are lots of beaches, attractions, shopping, and restaurants within 20 min in either direction. Amazing!
