Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, this effortlessly cool, one-dog-friendly cottage tucked among the whispering pines of Lieutenant Island is a retro-chic escape with personality to spare. It’s where barefoot beach days give way to vintage vinyl nights, where salty breezes swirl through a mid-century dreamscape, and a playful spirit lives in every corner—from the cat-eye sunglasses bar to the cozy nooks perfect for morning coffee or late-night laughs.

Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, Mod Pod is a one of a kind mid century modern cottage tucked among the windswept pines and golden marsh grasses of Lieutenant Island. Here, timeless coastal charm meets iconic retro design, creating an unforgettable island escape where salt breezes, tidal whispers, and quiet horizons become part of your everyday rhythm. Whether you’re here for still water paddles at sunrise, sunset beach strolls, or cozy evenings by lamplit conversations, Mod Pod captures the relaxed sophistication of Cape Cod life.

Step inside and feel the warm glow of vintage woods, clean lines, and thoughtfully curated details that speak to another era — but with every modern comfort at hand. Spin a record from the curated vinyl collection, settle into the cozy living space, or stream your favorite shows on the large screen. The detached game room invites playful competition with foosball, darts, and a streaming TV, making it easy to keep the fun going well into the evening.

Outdoors, the rhythm of island life unfolds at your pace. Savor morning coffee on the screened in porch as dragonflies flit by, dine al fresco on the wraparound deck next to the gas grill, or glide across mirrored waters in one of the provided kayaks. At day’s end, wander to nearby shores for sunset strolls — the rich hues of sky and sea that define Cape Cod living.

Booking Notes
We understand plans can change like the tides, so we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod getaway.
For Airbnb: We set only 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.


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.
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.
