Bring your dog and go hiking, biking, and kayaking, walks on the beach, or just relaxing on the porch overlooking the bay. Peace, quiet, and privacy is yours here on the island. It is truly a magical place. I respect the autonomy of my guests and can easily be reached by facetime, email, text, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, or yodeling. Communication with guests is important to us. Please be sure you have app notifications turned on for your phone as this will be our means of communicating with you before, during, and after your stay. Our digital guidebooks contain directions, instructions, and access information. It is your responsibility to review this information prior to arrival. We love our neighbors! The neighborhood is quiet, picturesque, peaceful, and surrounded by water and nature, perfect for beach walks, kayaking, and hiking. The door code access information is sent upon booking confirmation in the digital house manual This historic 1927 hunting lodge on Lieutenant’s Island transforms into pure magic in the fall. Once a gathering spot for migratory bird hunters, the island is now part of the Audubon Society’s Wellfleet Bay Sanctuary—a haven of peace, birdsong, and glowing marshland. Crossing the bridge feels like entering another world: the winding causeway framed by salt grasses, the call of gulls overhead, and the quiet rhythm of tides revealing their secrets with the season. Perched on a bluff overlooking the bay, Lieutenant’s Lodge offers front-row seats to nature’s grandest show—each sunset painting the horizon in amber and rose. From your wide porch or just steps down to the sandy beach below, you can watch the sky melt into the water and the salt marshes turn gold in the late-day light. Inside, the home embraces its rustic roots with warmth and character. Once a 1930s hunting lodge, it now welcomes guests with the charm of old Cape Cod—wood beams, vintage details, and rooms that feel wrapped in history. The first floor includes a full kitchen, dining room, cozy living space, master bedroom and bath, plus a sunny sleeping porch with two twin daybeds. Upstairs, an antique staircase leads to the king bedroom overlooking the bay, a half bath, and two additional queen bedrooms tucked under the eaves. Outside, autumn unfolds beautifully on the wraparound porch with a view that defies words. Savor a warm drink by the grill, spot herons gliding across the tidal flats, or launch a kayak straight from Hidden Beach for a calm paddle through crimson-tinted reeds. Fall here is quieter, slower, more intimate—the Cape the locals love best. Highlights of the Home: • A custom, state-of-the-art, award-winning house manual with local fall recommendations provided with each stay • Dog-friendly with a $100 fee (limit 1 dog, must be over 1 year old). No cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, chocolate Easter bunnies, or pet rocks—just one happy woof. • 6 beds total: ▪ 1 King ▪ 3 Queens ▪ 2 Twins (daybeds on sleeping porch/common area) • 1½ bathrooms • Outdoor shower for post-beach strolls • Luxurious linens, duvets, Turkish towel sets with charcoal-infused bamboo washcloths provided • Eco-friendly amenities: shampoo, conditioner, and body wash free from sulfates, phosphates, and microbeads • Coffee bar with drip coffee maker, French press, hot water kettle, regular and decaf coffee, and assorted teas • Gas grill & patio furniture, including outdoor dining area and lounge set • Washer & dryer • Kayaks provided at Hidden Beach / Bikes available for use • Many vacation add-ons available: Farm Fresh Eggs, Romance Packages, Local Tours, and more (details after booking) • Mini-split air & heat—stay cozy through crisp nights with ceiling fans and screened windows that let in the Cape breeze • Note: No WiFi, but phone hotspots work well for laptops or tablets • Located on a bluff above the bay with private path to the stairs and beach below—unforgettable views • Minimum booking age: 25 years • Professionally cleaned by a VRMA award-winning company using detailed checklists and sanitization protocols Tide Note: The island’s bridge may briefly cover with water at tides over 10 feet—a natural rhythm of island life. Locals simply wait 30–45 minutes for the tide to recede. Never drive through salt water; just enjoy the pause—it’s part of the adventure. We understand that plans can shift and recommend travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod getaway. There is no wifi - Guest must use their own data plans to create a wifi hotspot Wifi hotspots can be rented from library for use during stay Tides are the rise and fall of ocean water levels that happen every day. They’re caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth’s oceans. The moon’s pull is stronger because it’s closer, and it causes water to bulge out on the side of Earth facing the moon and also on the opposite side. As Earth rotates, different areas move into these bulges, which is why we get two high tides and two low tides each day. It’s like the ocean is following the moon’s lead in a giant, watery dance. Please check a tide chart for Wellfleet Harbor (in your guidebook) so that you can plan accordingly. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 1,060 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110060000/110059300/110059203/137866c9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New!
