Very Unique with Over 1000 acres of Marsh, Sand Dunes and White Sand Beaches awaits you.
We welcome you to our family home we call the "Island Escape" on Lt. Island, Wellfleet. This home was fully decorated and renovated with new appliances, furniture, linens, during 2009. We hope that you can see from the recent photos taken what a special property this is to enjoy your vacation.
Our Island Escape is a modern 3 bedroom year-round home built in the 1976. It is meticulously clean, with complete quality linens, household items, 52'' HDTV with 250 satellite channels plus free movie channels, DVD, CD AM/FM Stereo, telephone with unlimited long distance, gas BBQ and even an outdoor shower when you come home from a swim. We want your stay with us to be comfortable and relaxing so with that in mind, we equipped our home with all the modern conveniences you would have in your own home. We purchased our home on several smaller lots so when combined we have an exceptional amount of privacy and plenty of shade from the island's numerous pine trees and oak.
--------ABOUT THE AREA----------
As you drive down Lt. Island road and are within sight of the Lt. Island access bridge and vast marsh, you begin to realize how Lt. Island differs from other areas on the Cape you may have vacationed at.
For even more privacy, our home is located on the second island, which is much more private, secluded and further out than homes located on the first island.
Lt. Island is very special in that it is a giant wildlife sanctuary with lots of wildlife, walking trails, and is surrounded by uncrowded private beaches. Lt. Island has approximately 60 private homes, 1000 + acres of undeveloped marsh with the remaining land owned by Massachusetts Audubon and Wellfleet Conservation Trust. Should you vacation here, this will become one of those memorable vacations that stand out from the year after year typical house rentals. This is an adventure, yet close and convenient for family access.
Our Island Escape is readily accessible during non high tide via the Lt. Island access bridge. Each day high tide visits twice at different times that one can look up on a tide chart. Approximately 1 hour before and after high tide, Lt. Island Road becomes covered with water that prevents access to the islands. It is most unusual that high tide would interfere with access on and off the island. To us islanders, it is more of an inconvenience with some easy planning. In other words, if the road is covered, go down the street grab an ice cream and whn you get back, the road will be as clear as if there was never any water at all.
The tidal access together with the vast unpaved roads, serve to keep Lt. Island very secluded and free from traffic, preserving its tranquil setting. With that said, it is very convenient and you are never more than a quick 15 minute drive to the village with shops, restaurants, art galleries and even a drive-in theater that plays first run new releases!
Of course, the Island Escape can be your jumping off point to many well known beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore including Nauset, Marconi, and Race Point. Within just 30 minutes you can be in Provincetown (P-Town) and enjoy great shopping, food, and drink. There are numerous bike and walking trails and at the house we have provided several local guide books for your use in planning day trips.
