This our second stay at Windward, our first having been in 2020 during the COVID lockdown. We loved Windward then and fell in love again with it during this visit in October. To us, it is a magical place. The house is so lovingly appointed by the owners. You immediately can see how much care and attention they put into making sure the guests would feel comfortable and have everything they need without having to worry if they forgot to bring something from home. Cape Cod has so many beautiful places to see, but we enjoyed just hanging around the house and taking the week slowly. We enjoyed watching the tide flow in while sitting on the deck and from all the windows that allowed for stunning views. The sunsets were unbelievable, and watching them became the highlight of our days there; the yellows, and oranges that reflected in the water as the sun set changed every five minutes, and they were a sight to behold. The house is perfect in our opinion, and we couldn't ask for anything more from a vacation home. Even out toy poodle, Riley, enjoyed the freedom exploring the house and playing hide and go seek. The owners are lovely; they are available if needed, and thoughtful with the information they provide about the details of staying in the house and the overall community of Wellfleet. It's an ideal location if you are looking for serenity and a beautiful environment. We are already thinking about when we will be able to return to Windward.

My husband and I are delighted that you found Windward " impeccably well organized and a furnished house house located in an oasis of peace. We loved our experience." Windward is clearly more than a "rental home" to us as you have obviously realized. We strive to make it a "turnkey" rental home for the most discerning of vacationers. Over the years of renting Windward, we are delighted that vacationers, like yourselves, have greatly shown your appreciation of our most unique home, amenities, and fabulous views. Thank you for articulating your experience of Windward for other potential vacationers.

We had a wonderful week at this beautifully maintained home that had clear views of the water. Everything was spotless, tastefully decorated, and clearly cared for with love. The house was stocked with absolutely everything you could possibly need — from plenty of fresh towels and toiletries for the showers to a fully equipped kitchen. Because the home is so nicely appointed, families with young children will want to be mindful, but it’s a lovely space for creating special memories together.The location was great. A short walk took us to a nearby marsh area full of fascinating ocean wildlife — we spotted crabs, shorebirds, and other beautiful coastal creatures. Wellfleet area has lots of fun places like an animal sanctuary and drive-in movie theatre.This is truly a great home for a relaxing family getaway.

Hi Danielle, Thanks so much for writing such a lovely assessment of Windward. Douglas and I so appreciated all the detail and how wonderfully specific, you were with details. Am I asking too much for you to provide the exact same review on the other two sites, wherein we also secure Windward vacationers. You, clearly, have a writing skill. Is writing, a necesssity in your profession. I think your comment about windward, maybe not ideal for young children, was thoughtfully crafted. Again, so many thanks for writing thsi skillfull review. Best regards, Elisabeth & Douglas

Windward forever!

We had a magnificent week staying at Windward in Wellfleet. The property and setting was even better than the photos and the owners could not have been better hosts. My parents- 86 and 91- enjoyed the master bedroom and spent days out of the sun on the lower patio enjoying spectacular views of Pleasant Point and Great Island. The rest of us enjoyed days lounging on the second floor enjoying the cozy spaces, fabulous kitchen and spectacular views. Windward is a real home- and becomes that for the people who stay there. We will treasure our memories of this week - and so grateful to Elisabeth and David for taking care of us- and their lovely Wellfleet retreat.

Glorious Week at Windward

My wife and I stayed at Windward for seven nights at the beginning of July. In one word, our experience was "exceptional." Elisabeth and Doug were wonderful, attentive, hosts who provided is with all the information about Windward that made the week fly by. So the sunsets from the deck are amazingly beautiful; the changes in the bay waters are a wonder to behold; the accoutrements in the house are very tastefully and aesthetically pleasing; very user-friendly kitchen, SPOTLESS house, quiet, and serene. Close to restaurants and five minute drive to center Wellfleet. We highly recommend staying ate Windward. What a find!

Magical stay in South Wellfleet!

This was truly the most magical vacation home we have ever stayed in. The views alone are enough to recommend this home, but there is much, much more. The house is fully stocked with absolutely everything you could ever want or need - from cooking supplies to towels, extra blankets, plenty of beach reads, and even a personal caddy for every guest that includes all the things you might forget, like sunscreen, shampoo, aloe, and razors. The decor is casual and elegant with plenty of seating for a spectacular view of the marsh - whether from inside on a cloudy day or sitting on the deck, or on the hammock in the ample front yard. The Ingrams have thought of everything to make guests feel welcomed and cared for. We have already booked our stay for next summer and cannot wait to return.

Best Vacation Ever

This house is just as advertised , beautifully decorated, and fantastic views . We took my son daughter in law and 5 year old grandson they took several trips to beach and some day trips plenty to do near by. the house was big enough for all of us . I loved the shades that kept the house cool but yet allows you to see the great views . I am an avid reader so I loved the reading nook I ended up reading 5 books while enjoying the view . This house has everything you want and more than you need. The beds were all real comfortable which is very important and the bathrooms were fantastic and very clean .Thank you Elisabeth and Doug for sharing your beautiful home.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review. It is so appreciated. It just arrived for my viewing. It was a lovely review and though I have 50 odd some reviewss on some sites, our review touched on areas other vacationers have not noted. Much appreciated I want to give the Finnigan's a 5 star rating in each category. I believe they were my first people who I was asked to rate and didn't know how the rating system worked. I believe I gave them a one in each category thinking that was highest but in fact, learned that was lowest. They were fabulous renters and I want you to change my rating to a 5 in every category.

Well loved house with great amenities and an incredible view

This house offers a lot (well equipped kitchen, great bathrooms, lovely deck, big table, comfy chairs, tons of beach equipment, etc) in a relatively small space. Small children will need lots of supervision (I was warned!) and if you are a big group you may feel a bit crowded. But the neighborhood is great for walking and the view is phenomenal. Plus, getting the place perfect for renters appears to be a passion project for the owners and nothing that could be done to make your stay more comfortable is neglected. Has a 'charming B&B feel' with great sheets, towels, etc. We ahd a great week.

Relaxation at its finet!

Watching the ever changing landscape of the tidal marsh, gorgeous sunset cocktail hour on the deck, plenty of comfy couches for lounging and reading and every detail thought of sums up our week. Elisabeth and Doug have created a beautiful oasis and are super conscientious in ensuring you have the best, more carefree vacation at their house. This is the 7th house I've rented on the Cape over the last 20 years and definitely the best. Honestly the photos don't capture the specialness of this home.

Great House, Amazing Views

This is one of the most stunning homes I've seen on the Cape. The sweeping views from both the living and bedroom levels (2 of 4 bedrooms) exceeded my hopes and dreams. It is a very comfortable and expansive living area and the kitchen is equipped with everything imaginable. There is also a lovely deck with ample seating and a dining table so you can enjoy a cocktail meal or just relax in the sun. If you have the opportunity to rent this house, GRAB IT!

Great Cape Stay

This impressively updated Cape house has a beautiful view on the bay side and is close to many things on the lower Cape. It was perfect for a visit with kids, grandkids and relatives. We aged from 2 to 86. It was well set up for socializing, cooking or heading out to explore. It is near one of the Audobon sanctuaries for any birders. Everything worked very well and grill and washer/dryer were especially appreciated. There is sun on the deck or shade below depending on time of day. The owner will check in with you periodically to see if you need anything(information or other) and is most gracious.

Immaculate!

Besides the spectacular views and incredible sunsets over the water, we loved the care the owners have taken in presenting this property. The kitchen is fitted out as if the owners live there - the first time I've found a garlic press in a vacation rental. Bathrooms include soaps and shampoos etc, like a luxury hotel. The house was immaculately clean. Cape houses can sometimes feel damp and musty. Not this house! This was our first time to Wellfleet and we fell in love with the location. This is a quiet neighborhood with water access and it's an easy walk down the road to a beach. A 3 minute drive from Marconi beach. We fell in love and hope to return.

PEACEFUL

Windward was just a great home for our get away week in Wellfleet. The house is truly a home made cozy and comfortable by Elizabeth and Doug. There is all one needs for a relaxing vacation from the great upgraded kitchen with every conceivable tool or gadget, to the comfortable beds to the stylish remodeled bathrooms. The two days of fog/rain/drizzle made no difference to us as we settled in “at home” watching the changing tides, sky and weather from the house. Those two days made the bright sunny days even better. . Best words to describe Windward.....Warm, cozy, comfortable . Thank you Elizabeth and Doug.

Beautiful Windward

After being hunkered down all spring and summer, we decided we needed a change in scenery. We found the listing for Windward, and immediately knew this would be the place to find some serenity and natural beauty. We were not disappointed in the least!. The house if fantastic, just what you think of when you envision a house on Cape Cod overlooking the bay with an unobscured view. The owners took everything into account and made it very easy by equipping the house with everything you would need. We spent the days driving around and coming upon picturesque beaches and coves, exploring the other towns, and just plain old relaxing. We had some cloudy days and rain, but it didn't matter - the peace and quiet and listening to the rain fall onto the roof while a fire was going in the fireplace and lounging around reading or napping on one the many comfortable seating arrangements in the house worked out just fine for us. We have been to Wellfleet a number of times, but this was by far the best experience we have had and would not hesitate to again to take advantage of all that Windward, Wellfleet and the Outer Cape have to offer. You will not be disappointed! Thank you to the owners for sharing their "special place". Cape Cod is beautiful off season!

A Peaceful Retreat

Upon arriving at Windward and pulling into the shell driveway, my sister and I saw a quintessential Cape Cod home in a beautiful setting overlooking the water. Already we could feel the peace that surrounds this place. But stepping through the front door of this home immediately brings its wonderful character to life! Up the oriental carpeted stairway, to the left is a gourmet kitchen. Top-of-the-line appliances and everything else one could possibly need - from every imaginable utensil - to small appliances - to an array of alphabetized spices stretching across a shelf from one end of the kitchen to the other! Off the kitchen is the dining room with a huge table for eight. And views. OH THE VIEWS! The website photos cannot do them justice. Every nook and cranny holding books, dried flowers, candles, more books, and then a clock that also shows the timing of the high and low tides - immediately putting you in tune with nature here. Watching the tide come in and out, and sharing wine together seeing the awe-inspiring sunsets each evening was heaven. Then, off the kitchen and dining room is a living area where comfy couches and chairs stuffed with pillows and throws abound -- with MORE VIEWS! On the first floor of this reverse living home are four warmly decorated bedrooms. Each one is color coordinated with finishing touches like extra quilts and shams, simple but lovely window coverings, and colorfully decorated wall tiles. I slept in the Master Bedroom and never closed the curtains at night. What a joy to wake up in the morning in a big, comfortable bed and see those VIEWS! The renovated bathrooms are amazing. Beautiful fixtures, clean as a whistle (as is the entire home) and fluffy towels all ready for each guest. When we arrived, we met Doug, a soft-spoken, charming man who gave us a quick but thorough tour of the home to get us acquainted. We were not able to meet Elisabeth, but I texted her on occasion and she was immediately receptive and gave us great recommendations for hikes and dining. They did not miss a thing at Windward to make it comfortable and enjoyable - it truly is a sanctuary, a peaceful retreat, which we all need especially right now, if only for a short while.... Thank you Doug and Elisabeth! We can't wait to return!
