Our group of 6 adults and 2 children were extremely comfortable in Barbara’s home! With multiple living spaces, everyone was able to spread out in the house and yard and it never felt like we were on top of one another. We love being on Earle Road and access to the beach is a big draw. Really great week!

Wonderful house! Spent a week here with friends for a Girl's trip and it couldn't have been better. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and everything we could possibly need was provided. The beach was a short walk down the road and beach equipment was also provided. I will say that if you have an elderly person or anyone who might have trouble with stairs plan for them to stay in the first floor bedroom the stairs are a little steep and narrow. The host was fabulous to work with. Answered any questions we had immediately.

The house was nicely laid out, spacious, and a perfect location for the annual family trip away. The fenced yard helpful with a 2 year old, large enough to play while secure. Everything was well organized and easily accessible. The homeowner was very responsive and easy to reach. The nearby beach was quite nice, a short drive with beach gear. The water lovely for swimming. The area had lots of options for excursions even on rainy days with a range of activities, restaurants, and a grocery around the corner. Wonderful array of children’s books, dvds, and games. Overall a very ‘home like’ feel. Everyone had a fabulous time. Quite a nice visit. Thank you for sharing your cute place!

Excellent House, Great Location in Harwich

We loved our stay in the house. The location was an excellent launching point for all our day trips. We love the Harwich area and the ability to get to the ocean, bay and sound beaches and the town of Harwich has a lot to do. This was our first stay at the house and we would definitely stay there again. Very clean and comfortably slept our party of 10 (4 parents, 6 children age 12 - 22).

The best house we've stayed on Cape

We loved everything about the house- the flexible layout, nicely maintained backyard w/ outdoor shower, great porch area, location to a small but very nice beach (short 5-7 min walk), proximity to everything we can ask for at Cape! Barbara is an awesome host who made the process seamless for us. We can't wait to come back next year!

Beautiful Property

Great place to stay, close to the beach and easy drive to see many places along the Cape. Stairs are tough for rooms on second floor (only 1 room is downstairs) they are narrow and twist which was hard for someone with RA. Overall property is great though and owner is fantastic to work with.

Amazing time in Cape Cod!

The house was perfect for our trip! We were a mix of family and friends with 3 kids of different ages and everyone enjoyed the home! Barbara was a great host - very responsive and provided lots of recommendations. It was our first time staying in Cape Cod so we appreciated all of her suggestions. The house is walking distance to the beach and an easy drive to many other parts of the Cape. We look forward to returning and hope to stay at this beautiful house again.

Lovely Historic House with Character

This historic home has a relaxing screened-in porch for cool evenings, an updated kitchen with a spacious open concept dining/living room. It sports a master bedroom on the first floor and three bedrooms on the second floor. Great for large families with youngsters. The locations is about a mile from the rail trail bike path and two blocks from the beach. It has much to offer!

Lovely home in Harwich

The house was spotlessly clean and lovely decorated. The backyard is large and furnished for dining with a gas grill and hammock. The glassed in back porch has a bar perfect for entertaining. Loved the outdoor shower. The stairs inside to the second floor are narrow and turn at a sharp angle. They were slightly difficult for our seniors.

Great Vacation Weekend

Great house for a family of 10. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 children. Everything was neat and tidy. The property owner was very accommodating to us and when we had a problem with the heat, it was fixed by a professional heating technician, within hours. Totally satisfied with all the included items for use at this property (sheets,, towells, hand and dish soap, childrens toys) and the list could go on and on! Location very convenient to many beaches, shopping and restaurants. We would definitely rent this property again!

Wonderful experience!

Everything about this property suited our group! We were six adults and two small children, and the space and layout were perfect for us. The fenced in backyard was huge & provided a safe area for the kids, included large grassy space to play (wiffle ball and cornhole) and a patio with large table for outdoor meals. The porch was amazing and we spent much of our time there, hanging out, playing cards ect. The proximity to Earle Road beach was the initial draw but we got so much more out of the home than anticipated. We love Cape Cod and as our family has grown we were so grateful to find a place that suited us so well, where everyone was comfortable and had space. Barbara was responsive when we had an occasional question. The experience was easy from check in to check out. We definitely hope to return next year!

Perfect location

Charming home. Updated kitchen. The location couldn’t be better. We were able to explore the Cape and try a new restaurant (or 2) everyday. We picked up groceries for breakfasts and snacks. I was disappointed to find we had to make up our beds upon arrival and launder the sheets and towels the morning of our departure. We paid a $300 cleaning fee in advance. We left the house as we found it. A quick clean of toilets, sinks, and floors is all that was needed. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We were not able to get the heat to come on. The temp got down to 59 degrees, and while the fan worked, the air blowing was cool. We used the electric fireplace in the bedroom to heat the downstairs. And, it was warmer outside than inside during most days - so opening windows helped. Despite these downsides, we had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Great house in an excellent location. A fantastic getaway.

This house was a perfect fit for what my family and friends were looking for for our trip to Cape Cod. The listing was accurate with the house living up to what is was in the photos. The location was easily accessible and loved that is was so close to the beach. Our two families fit quite comfortably in the house and it was a great home base for our trip. The only issues we had were with the check out process. We were asked to clean all the linens and sheets we used and have them folded and replaced in the closet before we left. This meant that in order to check out by the appropriate time it made more sense for us to bring our own sheets for the beds. It also meant that none of us could reasonably bathe the morning we left as there was not much time to do a full washing process with our towels. We also needed to have all the dishes cleaned and returned to the cabinets as well. Otherwise we would have to pay an additional cleaning cost. All other VRBOs and home rentals we have stayed at have only asked that we run the dishwasher and washing machine at check out, which is a bit more convenient. Not a huge problem, but did make for a less than ideal last day.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara McDowell

Host profile image
Our family has been vacationing in the Cape for over 20 years. We dreamed of owning a vacation home here from the very start. Our hope is that you too will fall in love with the Cape; enjoying every minute and counting the days until you return.

Why they chose this property

Of all the Cape towns, Harwich is the most diverse offering everything a family could ask for in a beach vacation. The location of the home is ideal. Convenient to everything especially the beach. The fenced in yard is a lovely feature which gives peace of mind to families with small children.

What makes this property unique

Each year we add something new to the home for our renters enjoyment or comfort. This year in 2024 we are embracing a down initiative and converting all bedding to down, including pillows and duvets. We are also upgrading our mattresses for your comfort and peace of mind as well and providing new bath towels. We are actively looking for ways to make the check in and check out process more hassle free. Currently we are interviewing new housekeeping providers to keep our costs down and provide more to our guests.
