Gwen and Steve's home was a great choice for our Wellfleet vacation (4 adults and 6 teens). The living room and dining porch provided "together" spaces, while the bedrooms, multiple decks and other nooks & crannies allowed for alone time. The weather during our stay was uncharacteristically hot & humid, and the house's high-quality air conditioning was an absolute lifesaver! Likewise, we certainly made extensive use of the ZEN outdoor shower, our very favorite thing about a stay in Wellfleet. The outdoor shower at this property is a vacation unto itself!
The quiet, woodsy location gives guests easy (driving) access to all of Wellfleet: ocean beaches, bay beaches, ponds, town and harbor.
Every convenience is provided in this home. Our group enjoys cooking; my litmus test for a house rental is whether the kitchen is equipped with a salad spinner. When I saw one in the cupboard, I knew that we had made a great choice.
Lastly, the Alters were exceptional hosts. Of course they were not present during our stay, but they were available by phone/text when and if needed.
The only shortcoming of this rental property is that it does not have a water view, nor is it within walking distance of a beach. But it truly wins in all other areas.
