Peaceful house with beautiful views
Michele M Peters
We had a perfect three night stay. The house is well appointed with comfortable beds, sheets, and towels. We used the bikes and kayaks and everything was in working order. We would gladly stay again!
A Week of Island Life
Tara
Bless her heart. Julie R was not a Vrbo guest. Tides do not cover the roads for hours but at most 30 minutes until the highest of tides recede (anything over 10 feet high). Let’s hope life gets better for her. Poor thing. Kindness is easier.
Perfect Spot
Jerene
We stayed for a night and it was a perfect spot!
Highly Recommend
Brian
Tara was a great host, very communicative and answers any questions with great guides and instructions before you even can think of them. Highly recommend
Description
Welcome to Lieutenant's Island in Wellfleet. Come see why the island is such a sought after place to stay while visiting the Cape! And you can bring your furry family member too! Surround yourself with the beauty of the island yet remain central to all the Cape has to offer.
Notes
Properties on Lieutenant Island are accessed via a short causeway that at times can be covered by water at high tide (two times a day for approximately one hour). A tide chart is provided to plan accordingly.
Neighborhood
Quiet cul-de-sac in a family oriented neighborhood where we all watch out for each other. We are great friends with our neighbors!
Access
The island is accessed by one road and you must be aware of the tides that are above 10 feet. (Tides are on our website, provided in our guide, and available online at any time as well).
Space
As autumn graces Lieutenant Island, the journey begins along a unique shell-laden road, where the white clamshells tell the tale of local birds and the changing season. At low tide, explore the scenic beauty of beach grass, marsh cuts, and rich mudbanks teeming with wildlife, perfect for birdwatching and shellfish gathering. When high tide arrives, your surroundings transform, revealing breathtaking views and amazing places to explore with the kayaks.
Step onto the island and feel the tension melt away as you embrace the tranquility of this special retreat. Autumn sunsets on the beach, kayaking at Deep Hole, and invigorating walks through Mass Audubon’s Wildlife Sanctuary await your exploration.
Our newly renovated, bright home comfortably sleeps up to 11, featuring a gourmet kitchen with beautiful marble countertops and a spacious dining area perfect for family game nights or shared meals. Two sliding doors open to a large wraparound deck, allowing you to dine al fresco while soaking in the crisp fall air. The open living space, adorned with expansive windows, invites the autumn sun and provides a cozy spot for afternoon naps or movie nights on the plush sectional.
The airy master bedroom offers a queen bed and en suite bath, while the second bedroom features two full-size beds, making it ideal for family gatherings. Additional cozy spaces include bunk beds for the kids and a futon sofa that converts into a full-size bed. With Roku streaming TVs in the living room and most bedrooms, everyone can find their perfect retreat.

The island is accessed by a bridge and the road may become covered in water if the tide exceeds 10 feet. You will see island residents and guests pull over to the side of the road waiting for the tide to recede sometimes. Depending on how high the tide is, it may only be 30 minutes or so before the road is tide-free (again, it depends on the tide).
For example:
First high tide is at 2:47 am and is 10.73 ft/Second high tide is at 3:05 pm and is 10.95 ft
Residents and guests with plans at 3:00 pm would simply arrive or leave between 2:00/2:30. If they miss the window, they simply wait 30/45 minutes until the tide recedes off the road. It isn't a big deal and a part of island life.
