My family and I absolutely love this spacious, modern, and airy home and have visited it several times. Privately situated at the edge of the Cape Cod National Seashore, the house is an easy and pleasant walk through the woods to the private swimming at Higgins Pond and to family-oriented Gull Pond. The house has three beautiful decks. The front deck is wide and open and has a comfortable porch swing. My family’s favorite feature of the house is the large, enclosed outdoor shower located off this deck. After a long day at the beach or pond, we all race to see who gets to use it first. The second deck is at the rear of the house, off the dining room. Overlooking the woods, it has a gas grill and a lovely glass table with cushioned chairs. The house is cool, open, and immaculately clean. It has been impeccably furnished in a modern, minimalist Cape beach style. There are two cozy bedrooms downstairs, each of which easily sleeps two, and a full bath. The bright and breezy master bedroom is upstairs, along with another full bath and a large and comfortable sitting area with a tv and dvd player. The third, private deck is attached to the master bedroom. The owners, Richard and Elizabeth, are very friendly and accessible, and have been terrific to deal with. When we had a minor issue arise one year with one of the beds, Richard arranged to have it repaired immediately. We have especially loved the privacy and the simplicity of the house. Each time we have visited, we have left feeling renewed and refreshed.

You couldn't ask for anything more than what you will find at this house. You feel like you're living in the trees, although the inside is as welcoming as could be. So many places to sit and read, eat meals, have conversations from the 2nd floor family room, to the spacious screened-in porch, to the deck with dining area and grill. Elizabeth and Richard, the owners were gracious and accommodating and the description of their house is clear and accurate. A must for anyone visiting the Cape, the town of Wellfleet is charming and quieter than most with terrific restaurants, nearby golf, beautiful beaches,and friendly folks. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

e enjoyed our week in Wellfleet tremendously and the Rubin house was a critical part of the overall positive experience. The house was clean, well-maintained, and flooded with natural light. We rented a different house in Wellfleet last year that was old and dark, and visited friends in their dark and dirty rental this year - so we know that the pictures do not always capture the reality of the homes on the Cape. The outdoor shower was one of my personal favorites about the house; others included the sense of peace and seclusion, the morning walk to/swim in Gull Pond before anyone else arrived (it was great being so close), the screened in porch which allowed us to sit outdoors sans mosquitoes, and many others. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend and hope to return there many times in future years. Did you find this review helpful? Yes No Helpful votes: 1/1

Having been to The Cape before we were keen to stay in Wellfleet as we really like the small, picturesque town, with its great restaurants and art galleries. With two children (9 and 6) we also wanted to be within a walk/bike ride of the freshwater ponds and Atlantic beaches. We chose to stay at Elizabeth's house because it is well located for the town, pond and beaches, and because it offered spacious, clean and well equipped accommodation in a lovely quiet location. After a busy day, we enjoyed walking from the house to Gull Pond for a swim, then returning for some table tennis in the basement and a BBQ on the deck ! Did you find this review helpful?
