Great stay in Wellfleet!

My friends and I stayed at this house during our annual Oyster Fest weekend. We had some challenges with arrival due to a storm hitting the area and I really appreciated how Peter communicated with me so often with updates. The house itself is beautiful and perfect for a big group. It has everything you could need and is a great location - close to downtown, beaches and lots of beautiful nature.

Beautiful house in a convenient location

The house is comfortably set up and beautifully decorated. It is close to everything Wellfleet on a quiet side street. There is sleeping room for 10, but the house is really ideal for 8 (8 dining room chairs, 8 sets of silverware). We had a power outage the morning of our departure, and hosts were very accommodating with laundry and clean-up. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely home and town

Everyone enjoyed this well equipped home with a private backyard, flower landscaping, deck, and screened in porch. We had fun exploring Wellfleet and the swimming ponds, and long dog walks on the close by beaches. The owner Peter was very responsive to any issues we had and took care of things quickly (for example, a hornets nest we found under the deck was removed within a couple hours of discovering it)! Great place to spend some vacation days or weeks. Hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Harris and Peter Basch

Host profile image

Hi, We are Peter and Leslie .We live in Washington DC but have always dreamed of having a family home on Cape Cod where everyone can gather from 1 to 101. We love exploring the outer Cape, swimming in the secret ponds, biking the paths in Provincetown and enjoying all that Wellfleet has to offer. We have two dogs who love walking on the beach and playing in the ocean. And yes, our house is dog friendly.

Why they chose this property

Peter grew up in Connecticut so he is a New Englander. Leslie was born in Massachusetts but left when she was a child. Discovering the Cape felt like coming home. We knew if we ever bought a vacation home, it would be in Wellfleet. We are learning to be Welfleetians and love its history and small town feel. We found our house in the middle of a snow storm. It was only half built but we both knew it was right.

What makes this property unique

We love the quiet street, and the view from the porch into deep woods of the Herring River Estuary. We see all kinds of wild life in the early evening, once even a coywolf. The great room makes the house special, large enough for everyone to gather and to eat , the porch is where we gather in the early evening and in cooler weather, the gas fireplace warms the whole house. We also like having one master on the ground level. Lets us have lots of guests and still have our private space.
