Absolutely fantastic experience. We have been coming to the Cape for many years and this was our best rental experience by far. The house was perfect and our hosts were incredibly hospitable. They really thought of everything from beach chairs to house bikes (including a bike lock). We would strongly recommend their home and plan to stay there again in the future.

Outstanding location and cottage!

This wonderful updated cottage was welcoming, comfortable, impeccably clean, and well-appointed with everything one could need or want for a week on the Cape. Great layout for indoor and outdoor time with a very large new patio, outdoor furniture, and fire pit. We look forward to returning!

We enjoyed our stay in at the cottage in Harwich Port. The location is great - just a few steps to town, not far from several beaches and close to Brooks Park which has very nice tennis courts, a big tot lot and access to the Cape Cod bike trail. The house is very clean, well equipped (bikes and beach items included), comfortable outdoor sitting area, and was perfect for the 4 of us. The owners were very responsive to our questions and check in was easy. The bonus is what a great town Harwich Port is - good restaurants, art shops and small stores for shopping at your fingertips. You can't go wrong with this one!

This was our second time staying in this very comfortable cottage, located just minutes from downtown Harwichport and from the local beaches. The hosts provided everything we needed and were excellent at communicating throughout this process. We hope to return!

Great house...again

We liked it so much last year that we booked again as soon as we could for this year. Owners are great and the property was just as clean/well kept this year and more charming (backyard was redone to be even better than before). Good location, quiet street. Perfect for us. Highly recommend.

Perfect getaway

This listing is a quintessential Cape Cod cottage that has all the comforts of home. The cottage is close to Main Street making it easy to walk to town. The owners have created this listing with patrons in mind, including many things to improve your stay such as the garage "hangout" and outdoor fire pit. I highly recommend staying here.

Late summer vacation

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely two bedroom cottage just a few minutes walk into Harwichport, which was great for me after just having a knee replacement as it was a nice and easy way to start walking outside again! We enjoyed the gas fire pit, and the home had everything we needed to be comfortable. So close to so many great beaches and great shopping in Harwich and Chatham. The owners could not have been nicer and made the checking in and out process so easy! We had a wonderful time!

2nd stay! We had a wonderful time! The house is adorable and extremely well maintained. Kitchen and bath are stocked very well. So nice to just drop our bags and go to the beach. Everything is ready to go. The outdoor patio is amazing with Edison lighting and a fire table. Great extra room in the garage to hang out. Bikes to ride and all your beach needs like chairs and towels. Great neighborhood and the owners are so responsive and pleasant to rent from. We will be back !!! again!

Darling was Perfection

We absolutely loved staying at this rental. The location on Cape Cod in the town of Harwich Port was AMAZING. We were so close to the shops, restaurants and beach that we walked everywhere every day. There is also a great 9-hole golf course within walking distance that I was able to take advantage of multiple times. The unit has individual window AC units in each room and they worked great for the 2 days we had higher than normal temperatures. For the cooler evenings we took advantage of the outdoor space. The gas fire pit was great for warmth without smelling like firewood after use. The finished garage room was a delight. We loved having the bikes available for use. We were able to hop onto the Cape Cod Rail Trail and enjoy the outdoors on several days. The washer and dryer units were a bonus. The unit had detergent and fabric softener available. On the occasions that we needed to communicate with the owners the response was quick and thorough. Oh... and we even had cute little bunnies that showed up each day in. the yard. Definitely looking forward to staying here again in the future.
