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

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.
