Drew was one of the best landlords we’ve ever had on a vacation property. He was very responsive to the few questions that we had and asked proactively if there was anything that we needed throughout our week. The view from the porch was spectacular.

Magical Cozy Cottage

My boyfriend and I feeling burnt out needed to get out of the city for some much needed R&R. We both love the ocean and find it therapeutic. Being February and cold we were looking for something ocean front with lots of windows so we could see the ocean at all times. We also wanted a place that you could easily get on the beach and go for long walks because we were bringing our pup who is obsessed with running and playing on the beach. This place was that and then some. There are 3 sliding glass doors upstairs, so you always have a view of the ocean. The tide comes way in and then goes so far out that there is plenty of space to walk and play and look for shells. The sunsets are spectacular. The cottage itself is warm and inviting. We listened to music, drank wine, played board games and took in the view, there was no reason for us to go anywhere.Drew, the host was so nice, accommodating, and very responsive from the time of inquiry to departure. We normally do not frequent the same vacation rental twice, this place however is the exception, not only will be returning same time next year (except for a longer stay) but would like to come this summer as well. Thank you again Drew for an incredible weekend.

Beautiful, restful retreat

My spouse and I wanted an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful and restful location. Our priority was great view, cozy and warm accommodation, and opportunity to explore the Cape. Drew was a great host -- and everything was as promised, with remarkable anticipation of the little things that sometimes disrupt a vacation rental: coffee filters! extra pillows! -- and binoculars to watch the bay! We were here off-season, and right on the blustery bay -- but the cottage was warm and perfect for meditation and recovery. Getting onto Lieutenant Island is a good adventure -- and the litte bit of extra effort is richly rewarded with nature, views, wildlife, a bit of isolation, and the beautiful bay. We expect to be back.

Perfect getaway!

Drew and Heather have their hands on an absolute gem! Their communication was excellent and the experience was seamless. Our first family trip with our newborn and it didn't disappoint. The location is special- we spent the day exploring Lieutenant Island and it is a true wildlife preserve. A few severe high tides brought an interesting obstacle but there are worse places to be stuck for a few hours. Looking forward to our next booking!

quiet, beautiful, wild

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.

Happy Valentine's Day Getaway

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!

NYE retreat

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!

Unbelievable views, relaxing and unique stay

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!
