We absolutely loved our time here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The grounds were beautiful, private and peaceful and we spent hours out in the heated pool. Definitely a highlight of the property and made our trip so much more enjoyable. This was our first time staying in Harwich and we loved the area. Super close to beaches and a cute main town with shops and many impressive restaurants. The hosts are very informative and responsive and even left us a sweet treat from the local bakery when we first arrived. Definitely recommend staying here! Thank you for a great trip!

Thank you for your kind words, we hope to host you and your family again in the future.
We stayed here with family for 6 days in July and the place was definitely a good pick, but had some let downs. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here with its great location to restaurants/bars, large pool, spacious home, and a great outdoor space for eating/entertaining.
Downfalls included:
Pool heater broken for 4 of the 6 days
Was told house had AC in all main living areas (but 1st floor living room/kitchen did not have anything)
Outdoor lights didn’t work first night until we troubleshooted ourselves how to fix
Fridge was at 60 degrees when we arrived and took a day to get cold again (had to store all food in coolers)
Host was very responsive to our concerns, but things did not get fixed quickly (pool the biggest concern!) They did provide some $$ off, but still frustrating as our baby didn’t want to be in pool when it was too cold.
You can tell the owners are very hands off. If you’re there for the cape vibes and don’t care much about what was listed above, this may be a good spot for you!

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your feedback. I'd like to address the issues you raised to provide full transparency:
- The pool heater stopped working for a part of your stay, but the water temperature remained over 80 degrees for most of the usable time. Due to the busy season, contractors on the Cape were delayed, but we did our best to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
- The outdoor lights tripped the circuit and simply resetting the circuit breaker resolved the issue.
- The fridge was damaged by the previous party, which was difficult for our staff to catch during the limited time between turnovers. We resolved this issue promptly.
- The main living room has high ceilings, making window air conditioning unsuitable. We rely on ceiling and floor fans to circulate air.
- We take pride in personally interacting with our guests and sharing our home with renters. Although we can't be present on-site, we trust our team of local experts to provide necessary services.
- The house is accurately represented in the photos and description, as reflected in our multiple 5-star reviews on this site and others.
To show our commitment to making things right, we added a significant credit to your discounted rate. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
