Great home

This house is nicely located in Harwich Port - walkable to beach, shopping and restaurants. Very clean with lots of amenities. We stayed in April so a little chilly for the nicely appointed back yard patio and lovely sitting area in garage. Would love to come back in season. Great stay!

Peaceful Retreat

This is our second year we’ve spent at the cottage and we’d like to come back. The cottage is located about halfway down the Cape so we were able to go to both the Canal and to Highland Light in Truro very easily. Harwich Port is a peaceful town and is within walking distance from the cottage. The cottage is clean and had everything we needed

Great home base for Cape Cod

We stayed at this Harwich Port home for a 5 day visit on Cape Cod. The location was very central for exploring all of the Cape. The hosts provided everything you could need for your stay. It was a great visit for my family and the home gave us a very comfortable place to enjoy during our visit.
