We just got home from a week at Lieutenants Lodge. We had a very enjoyable stay. We are a family of five and found the home to be very comfortable. The host was super responsive to the few questions we had during our visit. The sunsets from the island are stunning and looking out on the moon hanging over the water from the bedroom on the second floor with the ocean breeze blowing in the windows was very relaxing. Finally, this cottage is a piece of cape cod history that’s been modernized for comfort. It’s a charming step back into 1940s cape cod.

Lieutenant's Lodge was amazing

Our group of 6 stayed at Lieutenant's Lodge in late May/early June -- it is such a great place. Location couldn't be more perfect - stairs down to the beach/flats right out the back door. Kitchen is great, beds and living area were super comfortable. Got stopped at the bridge once by high tide - while waiting we waded in and watched the horseshoe crabs do their thing -- very cool! We highly recommend Lieutenant's Lodge.

Wonderful stay!

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at Lieutenant Lodge! The house was immaculate and exceeded all expectations. Perfect location right on the beach and a quick drive to downtown wellfleet. Within minutes of arriving, Our golden retriever jumped right in the water and had the time of her life walking the sandbars with us. The beds were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. We highly recommend booking this house. We are already planning a trip back next year!

The Island

The experience was awesome, it’s the feel of old Cape Cod, like time stood still! The beach is secluded like the way it was when I first started coming to Lieutenant Island in the 1950’s!

Wonderful home

I recently rented a lovely house in Wellfleet, MA on Lieutenant Island, and had a fantastic experience. The house was spacious, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect - quiet and secluded, yet still close enough to town for convenience. The views from the house were breathtaking, with beautiful sunsets and serene surroundings. The property was well-maintained and clean, and the owner was friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway.

Romantic Cape Getaway

WOW. What a wonderful little holiday. The house is simple, tasteful and very comfortable. Clean, tidy and incredibly charming. Linens were very nice, soft and cozy. We didn't get a chance to kayak or bike (both supplied by owner). Next time for sure! The star of the stay was the location. The cottage is perched on a cliff overlooking Cape Cod Bay. We counted - 45 steps to the top of the stairs that lead you to a beach that was empty and gorgeous. A wonderful place for birders or curious beach combers. We were pouting like little kids when we had to leave. Grateful to have had the chance to stay here. We will be back.

Utter heaven…with a pizza wheel!

We could not have been happier with our stay: us and our greyhound.Our hosts: we had no problems whatsoever, but we had some questions and our hosts were very responsive, extremely organized in providing information (there’s a House Guide that goes over everything you can imagine), welcoming and sweet. From the first encounter with our hosts when booking, we felt welcome and cared about.The home: it’s truly lovely. What other reviews say about the bed sheets is true: soooooooofffffftttt. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The property is impeccably clean, which is something that matters to us a great deal. The views are breathtaking. Lounging on the back deck or in the delightfully comfortable sunroom is a perfect spot to relax. At high tide, you can float right into the water from the stairs leading to the beach. The outdoor shower is a dream. When the tide is out, enjoy a stroll along the beach looking for oysters and claims, skipping stones, and watching crabs and creatures. If, like us, you enjoy cooking – the kitchen is abundantly stocked with plenty of plates, glasses, mugs, all sorts of cookware and utensils, even a pizza wheel. There are some condiments, but just the real basics (wouldn’t expect more to be stocked) – so bring anything unique or special if you’re a cook. Our pup was made to feel just as welcome as we were, though we don’t want to spoil any sweet surprises. If you book – and we whole-heartedly recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2026
We were a bit surprised by this review since no concerns were mentioned during your visit, which would have given us the opportunity to help. Lieutenant Lodge is an authentic waterfront hunting lodge built in the 1920s, and many of our guests choose it specifically because of its historic character. Homes from that era often have smaller bedrooms and steeper staircases than modern construction, and both are accurately represented in the listing photos and description. To put it simply, you booked a nearly 100 year old hunting lodge and then criticized it for being a nearly 100 year old hunting lodge. The issue was not that the home was misrepresented. It simply wasn't the style of property you were looking for. We're glad you found the home quaint and cozy, and we hope future guests looking for a genuine historic Cape Cod experience will appreciate the very qualities that have made this property so special for generations.

Mr

Loved the location. Only wish there was a landing about half way down the steps to sit at when tide was In. And to take a break when you have littles. But definitely will rent again
