Summary: The Seashells is fantastic for all ages. The house was great and well equipped. Easy back and forth from the beach and the beach is so peaceful. Highly recommend water shoes due to the shells. We loved watching the daily going ons in the bay. We loved Wellfleet Center and the Drive In Movie Theater.

Summary: The Seashells large house was perfect for our amazing family reunion. I had vacationed there as a child and it was so meaningful for me to share my memories with my adult children and grandchildren. The house is large and comfortable and very well equipped. Location can’t be beat! Right on the beach and easy walk to the harbor and town. Would definitely return! You won’t be disappointed!

Summary: The proximity to the beach (literally 40 steps, as listed) is amazing. We had relaxing days at the private beach area and enjoyed paddling to the beach on Great Island with the provided kayaks. The bike or walk to local restaurants is an easy mile down the road and downtown is just about 1.5 miles. We loved driving the 2.5 miles to Duck Harbor for sunset. The owner had great restaurant and activity recommendations. We enjoyed using the big well-stocked kitchen and sitting area, as well as the spacious deck. Couple things to know: the house is not really 5 bedrooms, as one of them is a walk-through to get to the master bedroom. The cost of the rental goes up by a lot (cost of an additional night’s stay per additional person)if you have more than 6 people. The price is reflected in the booking process, but something you wouldn’t know if, like me, you booked it for yourself and then invited guests. Finally, while the deck was great, replacement of the mismatched and rusted furniture would be a huge improvement. Overall a really fantastic week in Wellfleet!

Summary: Perfect house for just staying home or venturing out! It provided us the space we needed to have family time as well as alone time. We enjoyed the beaches in the area and much needed time away!

Summary: So many wonderful things about this property. This was our first time to Cape Cod. The location, just steps from the beach, was ideal and the view from the deck was beautiful. The beach is calm and the tide is low, so it was a great place for the kids to play in the water, discover 'beach treasures' and climb among the rocks. The beach itself would have been enough but there was so much more available. Kayaks and floats for water fun, a ping-pong table in the backyard, and numerous books, games, and a smart TV for night activities and during the one day when it rained. We are a family of 5, but there was so much sleeping space we could have easily accommodated our extended family. The open second floor with kitchen, dining, and living room was ideal for family togetherness. The owner was very accommodating. We very much enjoyed our time here. Thank you !

Summary: Our family of 9 loved staying in the Main house. Upstairs kitchen, family room, deck, and views of the Bay were fantastic! The owner, Howie, was very friendly and accessible long before, at check-in, and during our week long stay. Everything was “as described” so no unpleasant surprises. We arrived with two vehicles and high expectations, which were amply met. With COVID-19, we purchased travel insurance just in case. The 2-story house was very clean and well stocked with board games. We also made good use of the kayaks and the outdoor ping pong table. Although we didn’t need to, we also packed our own towels, pillows and bed coverings. Howie’s restaurant recommendations, particularly for takeout were quite helpful. And his suggestion to bring old sneakers for hiking (which we did a LOT of) or just for going out to explore with the low tide, was key. Highly recommend the Sea Shells Main House, especially with Howie as the owner!
