Imagine waking up and walking out your back door into the natural beauty and serenity of the 170 acre Fox Island Marsh Conservation Area in Wellfleet on Cape Cod Bay. Walking trails through the wooded conservation area take you to the pristine Fox Island salt marsh, and sandy beaches at Pleasant Point, Fox Island and Indian Neck (M. Burton Baker) Beach on the bay.

There are also two sofa sleepers in the main house. The property also has another queen bedroom and full bath in a second floor loft area in an adjacent building. Sleeping from four to eight is comfortable and even if you had ten people (two families with kids) you wouldn't feel crowded.

Our first year renting our place in Wellfleet went very well. Every one of our vacationers had a great time and left the house and loft in awesome shape, and for that we thank them all. Knowing that each family had a great time, loved the place, and was kind enough to leave it as they found it was a great encouragement each Saturday as we came up in the morning to clean and prepare the property for the next family coming in. Special thanks to Suzanne Lortie and her family who had to deal with a water leak in the lower bedroom. Felicia (our granddaughter) and I came up and fixed the problem in an hour and Suzanne was nice enough to make me an espresso. Thanks again to all our vacationers for their kind words and care. We hope to see you all next year.
