Stairs to your private beach on Nantucket Sound; just out your back door
Location: Harwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA (Directly on Nantucket Sound, West Harwich, Massachusetts)
Accommodations: House, 6 Bedrooms, 5 Baths (Sleeps 12)
This rambling beach house easily accommodates up to 12 people. It is right on Nantucket Sound, which has the warmest and gentlest water on Cape Cod. The rental is ideal for families with children.
This traditional Cape Cod house works well for a large gathering because there are open spaces where everyone can be together as well as three distinctly separate living spaces for more quiet, alone times.
The prevailing, southwesterly breezes off Nantucket Sound in the summer months fill the air with the refreshing sounds and smells of the sea.
The L-shaped floor plan of the house offers relaxing privacy and shelter from Cape Cod's southwesterly winds without compromising the incredible views of the sky and Cape Cod's south shore and Nantucket Sound.
The overall ambiance of the house is of a casual Cape Cod summer house. The exterior landscape is traditional Cape Cod with an open grassy back yard, sea grass, and roses with stairs to the private beach on Nantucket Sound, a flagstone patio and picnic table, and an outdoor shower area. The paved driveway has room for several cars.

Property/Unit : 114927 - "Classic Cape Cod Beachfront Rental for up to 12 people in West Harwich" Date of Arrival : Jul 12, 2008 Name on Contract : Stuke Review Rating : 5/5 Review Title : 215813 - "Dynamic layout" "In July 2008 my family and parents stayed here. It was the perfect time of year. The property layout is great. There are two large common areas(rooms) where we couuld all gather for games/TV/movies. The rooms were the living room and the sun room. Additionally, the sun room was great for dinner. We set up one large table and all ate together in one room which given the group size was great for such a large family group. In additon to these two rooms of course was the outside courtyard which also was available however we chose not to use it for dinner. The bedrooms are great in that they are situated in such a way that they are private and the noise from common areas does not reach them. So some of our group could go to bed while others stayed late into the evening/morning. Also great was the central air so all could escape the summer heat during the day but primarily the humidity at night. Located mid-cape allowed for quick day trips to either end of cape. The waterfront does not have much surf so body surfing is not an option. However we still did group swimming. Seaweed is present. But being New Englanders that did not phase us. Plenty of beach chairs, beach toys were provided. One item youu may want to bring is a full LP tank for the grill so as to avoid having to run out just when starting a diner. Made for a greate memorable family experience where we all could share time while allowing time away/privacy as wanted. One note. Garbage is picked up at end of week. So I would recommend lobster/seafood feast(s) for later in week so as to avoid the smell for a week. A great rental for families who want to spend time together while at the same time have seperate private time.
