Escape to Harwichport-Your Perfect Cape Cod Getaway
Welcome to our charming Cape Cod vacation rental, nestled just behind the Harwichport (public) Golf Club and only a fifteen-minute walk to the shops and restaurants of vibrant Harwichport center. Whether you're a small or extended family, couples vacationing together, or a group of friends, our freshly updated, classic Cape with a nautical theme is the ideal retreat.
Walk or bike to Sea Street beach-it’s just a mile away, along quiet streets with sidewalks and street lights-and enjoy golfers crossing as you pass through the club’s manicured greens. Murphy’s General and Reed Books are even closer. You can easily bike to Bank Street, Pleasant Road… and don’t forget to stop by Harwichport town hall for a beach sticker granting parking access to 21 beautiful beaches! If you love outdoor activities, you'll appreciate the easy access to the Nantucket Ferry, Rail Trail and bike rentals. Plus, a quick bike ride takes you to Go-Karts, bumper boats, batting cages, or mini-golf, and sports enthusiasts will enjoy watching Mariners' Cape League games at Monomoy High School.
Nestled on a tranquil neighborhood street, you won't have to worry about traffic noise. After a day of exploring, relax in the private backyard adorned with crushed shells, perennial plantings and shaded spots for both children and adults to unwind after a fun-filled day at the beach.
The main bedroom offers a queen bed with a summer goose down comforter and fresh white duvet covers for your comfort. Enjoy the Cape air and soothing birdsongs with open windows or use the window air conditioning units on hot summer days. The second bedroom has two twin beds that can be combined to create a king-size bed, along with children's books, a beach bag, and games. Both bedrooms have light filtering blinds, and sound sleeping is ensured in the living room, thanks to the light-blocking curtains. The living room also features one full-size and a second twin-size sofa that can easily be converted into beds. On cooler nights, the functional wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere, while electric baseboard heat keeps the space warm.
The bright white kitchen with a butcher block counter exudes classic Cape Cod charm. You'll find stainless appliances, an Acacia table, and overstuffed chairs - all fresh and new. Stocked with everything you need for cooking - from pans to porcelain dishes and ice cube trays - the clean cabinets offer ample food storage space. The newly tiled bathroom boasts bright fixtures, plenty of towels, a pedestal sink, and a generous closet.
Take advantage of the outdoors by relaxing in the Adirondack chairs, sipping wine, and grilling burgers or steak on the gas Weber grill. The spacious outdoor table is perfect for dining, and the fire pit adds a delightful touch for s'mores after dinner. For your convenience, there's a new washer and dryer in the basement, perfect for all your beach towels and swimsuits. Don’t forget to bask in the sun while you rinse off the sand and inhale the cedar of the outdoor shower after your beach day!

Beautiful home with everything a family of four needed. Short 15-20 minute walk to Main Street with great restaurant options, shopping, and ice cream. Music night on Wednesdays!

Dear Eric, thank you so much for your review. We love the live outdoor music at the Wednesday Night Stroll in Harwichport and are so glad you were able to enjoy it too! Thanks again, Kristen
This house was so cute and had what we needed! 5 minute drive to all the local beaches and downtown which were perfect for our stay with 2 adults and two toddlers. Everyone had a great time. My son loved the outdoor shower and fire pit. And the extra pull out couch/ air mattress was a huge plus. Definitely staying in Harwich again!

Had a great time! House was clean, easy to find and comfortable. Back yard space was a nice bonus, with fire pit and outdoor furniture. Had one small problem with lack to towels, but problem solved quickly! Would definitely stay again

Hi Laurie,
We are so glad you stayed with us am sorry about the towel mixup. My cleaners are sorry too! Have a great rest of your summer and we hope you’ll come again.
This was a beautiful property in the perfect location for the wedding that brought me to the Cape. The weather was a bit chillier than expected one night and i was pleasantly surprised to see that the property had heat as well! Thank you for a lovely weekend, and i would love to come back one day!

I know how annoying it is to be cold, and I’m so glad you were able to warm up! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope you come again. Thanks so much.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was immaculately clean and had a very cute and beachy vibe! The fire pit and outdoor shower were nice touches. Convenient location as well!
We stayed 5 nights and the property checked all the boxes we needed. Nice, central location. We were out exploring most of the time and found the house a nice place to come back to. We loved sitting in the large family space which was nice and bright.

Thank you so much for your review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back again!
Enjoyed our stay as always on the Cape! Location was perfect! Outdoor firepit was great! Left money with neighbor for their wood, comfortable bedding, great couches! However, no washer & dryer for clothing and no dish washer? I get it it's a rental property but those investments would make any guest be a repeat one!!!!!

Thank you so much for your review. We do have washer and dryer in the basement which is accessible via the bulkhead, next to the outdoor shower. I am sorry there is no dishwasher! One day! Thanks again.
The house was very clean and orderly. WE had plenty of sheets and towels. I thought there was going to be a washer and dryer, but I was mistaken. WE had a lovely stay and really enjoyed your property.

Dear Barbara,
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and I’m sorry you didn’t reach out about the washer dryer. It is in the basement, which can be accessed via the bulkhead next to the outdoor shower. Have a great trip home and we hope you come again. Thanks so much, Kristen
House was in a very quiet neighborhood but still accessible to town and very walkable. And the bedrooms worked out perfectly for us and the grandchildren.
Outdoor shower was the BEST!
Exactly as advertised with extra features like spices and pantry staples, medicine cabinet necessities and, bikes, beach toys, beach chairs & basic toiletries. Fantastic outdoor shower and location with outdoor patio and firepit for cozy dining. **Only thing to note is that the basement (laundry) is only accessible from outdoor bulkhead entry.

Dear Shelley,
Thanks so much for your review. We have updated the welcome guide to specifically note that bulkhead access is required laundry as well as bikes and beach gear. Thanks again, Kristen
Our family enjoyed staying at this updated cute home in a quiet neighborhood. Wonderful yard and outdoor shower, we enjoyed reading and having breakfast together outside each morning. Highly recommended for couple or small family as Harwichport offers a lot to do…
Enjoyed proximity to town and biking

Thank you Mike! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you visit again
The house was cute and provided all of the amenities needed for our family vacation. The location was perfect for exploring the quaint little town of Harwich Port via foot, bike or car and for exploring the rest of the Cape via car. We'd definitely return.

We loved the house and Harwich Port. It’s close enough to bike to the Cape Cod Rail Trail or a walk to Main Street. Four minute drive to the Wychmere Beach Club for a wedding.

About the host
Hosted by Kristen Lamoreau
We love Harwichport and wish we could be there all summer! But we can’t - so we want to share our favorite part of the world with others. Kristen is from northern Maine (now working for a glaucoma device company) and Dave is from Watertown, Massachusetts (now working in insurance). We live in Weston, Massachusetts, and we fell in love with Harwichport when our boys were small. We were fortunate enough to find this lovely house to put down roots, but baseball calls! Summer tournaments have us all over the east coast; so we want to share this space with others. We are delighted that you can use it too.
Why they chose this property
This street is perfect for little kids - quiet and safe for riding bikes and playing in the yard. Our teenage boys love it too but they would be happy anywhere that there is WiFi. I will see my grandkids playing here one day, but in the meantime it is a good place to share with families who can appreciate the magic of the Cape. I love that it is walkable or bikeable to anything in Harwichport - shops, rail trail, beach, or baseball fields.
What makes this property unique
Waking up in the morning to birdsongs through open windows. Walking to town, biking to the beach, and having the kids and their friends have the independence to do so safely while I bask in the sun is the beauty of this little home
