About this property

5 min Walk to Beach and Downtown Harwich Port! Dog Friendly!

Dog friendly rental.

Escape to Whale’s Tale Cottage, a 3 bedroom, 1 bath renovated cottage that sleeps six (6) located just steps to the beautiful Nantucket Sound and the quintessential center of Harwich Port. Feel the ocean breeze from the screened in porch of this charming cottage. Located in the historic ‘Campground’ area, stroll with your family and friends while enjoying the Victorian seaside architecture against a backdrop of blue hydrangeas and Cape Cod Roses.

Whale’s Tale is ideal for anyone who is seeking relaxation and Cape Cod fun. A short 5 minute walk to the private Ocean Ave Beach and to quaint downtown Harwich Port that offers restaurants, a juice bar, coffee shops and shopping. Every Wednesday night enjoy ‘Port Summer Nights’ where you can find art, dining, music and shopping that is fun for the entire family. With the warmer water and gentle waves, the kids are sure to enjoy swimming and playing while the adults lay back and relax on the soft, sandy beach of Nantucket Sound.

Enter through the bright screened in porch perfect for afternoon naps, family game nights or unwind with a glass of wine. Open the door into the living room filled with coastal furniture/décor, 40 inch HD TV and WiFi. Off the living room you will find three (3) air conditioned bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, ceiling fans and one bedroom with a wall mounted 28 inch HD Flat Screen TV.

Just beyond the living area is the fully equipped kitchen, which includes granite counter tops, a dishwasher and high efficiency full sized stacked washer/dryer. The kitchen flows nicely into a dining area that seats six (6). Perfect spot to enjoy family dinners after a fun filled day on the beach. The bathroom is located just off the dining area boasting a renovated shower with pebble floor.

Out the back door, you will find a small yard with a fully fenced yard for your enjoyment and that of your pets. A patio with seating for six (6), gas grill, new enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water and updated landscape.

You are sure to fall in Love with this special spot and make memories for a lifetime!

I have been vacationing in the Harwich Port Campground neighborhood for over 20 years. When my husband and I met, I introduced him to Cape Cod and he fell in love with the beautiful beaches and quaint towns.
Harwich Port is our 'Happy Place' and we are so excited to rent our house so you can fall in love with the area and create wonderful memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I will be making updates to the property throughout the Winter/Spring. New photos will come as updates are made!
