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. Quiet cul-de-sac in a family oriented neighborhood where we all watch out for each other. We are great friends with our neighbors! 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). Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, Shell City is a tranquil island escape where coastal beauty and natural rhythm create a forever memorable retreat. Nestled on Lieutenant Island, this inviting 3 bedroom home sits amid salt marshes, whispering beach grass, and windswept shores — a place where shell studded dunes, tidal explorations, and wildlife sightings become everyday pleasures, no matter the season. As you arrive along the shell laid roadway, the landscape itself feels like a story unfolding — a reminder that this is a coast shaped by wind, tide, and time. With views that shift from wide salt marsh expanses at low tide to shimmering water reflections at high tide, Shell City puts nature’s show front and center. Step inside and let the light filled living space welcome you. Plush seating and expansive windows make it easy to relax with a book, gather for spirited game nights, or stream your favorite shows after a day of outdoor adventure. The fully equipped kitchen with marble countertops invites casual meals or creative dinners shared with family and friends. When the breeze calls you outside, sliding doors open to a large wraparound deck perfect for morning coffee, sunset toasts, or simply breathing in the salty air. Bedrooms are designed for comfort and ease, from the airy master with its queen bed and en suite bath to the family friendly second room with two full beds. Additional spaces — including bunks for kids and an extra twin — mean there’s room for everyone to rest and recharge. And with Roku streaming TVs in the living room and all bedrooms, everyone can find their favorite way to unwind. Outside, kayaks await for peaceful paddles on Loagy Bay, bikes are ready for exploring island roads and nearby trails, and wide salt flats beckon for shoreline walks. Birdwatching at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary feels like a step into another world, where egrets glint in golden light and herons march along the marsh edges.

For Airbnb: We only set two charges — a fair nightly rate and a cleaning fee based on what our professional team charges to reset the home. Airbnb adds its own platform service fee and collects local/state taxes separately. These are not controlled or retained by us. 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 - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Gas grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### 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: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82790000/82785900/82785896/3377dc7e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Classic dog-friendly home with private washer/dryer & outdoor shower Onset - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.2 Very good 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-25&endDate=2026-02-26&selected=82785896&PinnedHotelID=82785896&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![4 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/111000000/110996100/110996063/8e62e32e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Minutes to Beach, Expansive backyard!

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. ##### Julie R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie R. 16 Aug 2022 #### A week of Island life While this little house has had some nice updating, particularly upstairs with a brand new, very well equipped kitchen, the downstairs of the house was dark and rather dank. It also has a strange layout with only1/2 bath on the lower level. The only full bath was attached to the primary bedroom on the upper level. There is a nice outdoor shower with good water pressure however but it’s a bit odd have only 1 indoor shower in a house that can sleep 8\. The upstairs primary bedroom had no window blinds and one of the 2 windows did not have a screen so we could risk opening it as the bugs on the island are an issue. This was a major negative! All windows need to have working screens. as unfortunately, Only the upstairs of the house had any type of air conditioning and 2 of the 3 window units were very old and loud and did little to cool things down. Granted it was an unusually hot and humid week on Cape Cod but 2 of the 3 units should be replaced. Perhaps most important of all, renters need to be made fully aware of the tide limitations of living on Lt. Island and the fact that there can be SEVERAL hours when you can not drive your car on or off the island. The limited access is mentioned only briefly in the listing but for anyone not familiar with living by the tides this could be a major drag. Several evening during our stay we had to leave a car on the island side of the bridge and wade through thigh high water to get across the bridge. Some days there are 2 high tides to deal with and advance planning is required. On the more positive side, the island is beautiful and tranquil and the house was very clean when we arrived , except for overflowing garbage outside, and all the beds were made with nice, high quality bedding . The management company was responsive to the garbage situation and arranged to have it picked up the day after our arrival and at our request they also promptly brought us 2 new fans to help with the smell on the lower level. ##### Julie R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### lauren b. 3 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful secluded home perfect for a getaway Our group had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful property! ##### lauren b.
