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.

Booking Notes
We understand that plans can change, so we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod stay.
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.
