Walk to Ponds, House bordering National Seashore,Newly Renovated,Quiet Setting

My husband and I recently spent a week at this quite comfortable, if a bit off the beaten track, cottage in the woods bordering the National Seashore in beautiful Wellfleet. We numbered four, actually, including our teenage daughter and her friend. Even so, we were all able to enjoy both together, and alone time, in this spacious enough house. The accommodations were quite well kept and comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch in the evening. Although it is possible to walk to Newcombe Hollow Beach from the house, it is a somewhat arduous trek of approximately a half hour. It is much more feasible and comfortable to drive to this quite picturesque and beautiful beach. The drive is about ten minutes. Parking at the beach requires a pass that is easily attainable in town. A walk to the nearby ponds is much more easily achieved, and also takes about 10 minutes. These ponds are swimmable, and quite nice.

The house was well supplied for cooking and grilling. A good time was had by us all!!

This is our second year in this lovely home and we plan to return next year. I am always a bit apprehensive to return to the same vacation place thinking that the second time can't possibly be as wonderful but our stay this year in the Rubin home was fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

This is a wonderful home full of comfortable rooms, furniture and space for everyone's needs whether one is an indoor or an outdoor person. One (almost) wishes for an occasional rainy day to just hang out and read, play games, etc.

It is tastefully decorated with a comfortable lived in but contemporary feel. The first floor has an open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and an adjacent large deck and screened in porch. We had many memorable family meals and conversations at the large kitchen table or on the deck.

The home feels secluded and private even though it is just a quick drive to Wellfleet center for supplies, dining or a gallery walk. A ten minute walk through the National Seashore woods takes you to lovely Higgins Pond where the swimming is divine. There is easy access to route 6 for a trip to Provincetown or to South Wellfleet and the Cape Cod Rail Trail.

We are already longing for our next trip here

We stayed here in July / August 2016 and absolutely loved the home, the grounds, the cleanliness and the quality of EVERYTHING at the home. From the bedding, to the kitchen equipment, bikes, and outdoor shower, it was first class all the way.

Additionally, the location of this home is perfect, close to mini markets, ponds, beach and yet peaceful and quiet.

Our adult-ish kids joined us for a few days and the home was comfortable, even for 6.

We highly recommend this home and cannot wait to return next summer.

Well done is better than well said, and everything was well done! Thanks Elizabeth, thanks Richard, we appreciate your sharing your home with us.

Recently returned from a wonderful Wellfleet vacation with best friends from NYC, Buffalo and Boston. This rental has great outdoor and indoor spaces to be together and also to catch a little time alone. It works perfectly for 6 people. The 2 outdoor decks ( one with a grill) and a screened-in porch were perfect as were the 2 indoor living rooms. The house is very clean, comfortable and airy. Lot's of options for hanging, playing games, eating together, reading, relaxing and just having a good time.

We loved our many walks to the ocean and kettle ponds. The swimming was exquisite and we loved our outdoor showers upon return. We hardly needed our cars! The rental process was efficient and communication prompt. We look forward to going back next year.

Lovely, well organized and well taken care of home at the edge of the neighborhood so you can walk out to a wooded path and down to the pond without seeing anyone else but also are a quick ride into Wellfleet for a visit to Hatches or Macs. We loved that you can also walk further and get to the beach - many days we never got in the car. And great outside shower.
