About this property

A Bright, Breezy Stay on the Right Side of the Bridge

Just 0.10 miles to a warm‑water private beach, this Harwich Port getaway puts you steps from soft sand, gentle surf, and long summer days. Set on a quiet no‑access road, the house feels tucked away yet close to everything — golf, great restaurants, ice cream runs, and kid‑friendly fun.

Inside, the renovated chef’s kitchen (GE Café appliances, 2018) makes cooking a joy, whether you’re searing scallops or steaming lobsters. The open layout keeps everyone connected — cooking, lounging, playing games, or drifting between the living spaces.

Open the sliders and let the ocean breeze roll in. The deck is perfect for morning coffee, sunset grilling, and lingering dinners. Hydrangeas frame the yard, birdsong fills the air, and the outdoor shower is waiting after every beach day.

The primary suite offers a private deck and full bath (shower only). Two additional bedrooms upstairs comfortably sleep 6.

Arrive, exhale, and let Cape time take over.

The house was very much as advertised.This was a family gathering with our kids and the access to the private beach was awesome and very convenient to walk to. The house had just about anything you could need and a bonus for me was the Weber grill which was very similar to the one I use which made grilling very easy!Janet was available for questions as needed and very responsive - Thanks for a nice week - the weather was great for the most part...

This place suited our needs very well. It was well-stocked with toiletries and plenty of bath and beach towels for use. Weber grill came in handy as did the well supplied kitchen. The quiet, dead end street made us feel very secure in unfamiliar surroundings. Two large living areas, besides the basement living space, gave us ample room to spread out. Garage with remote made loading and unloading for our various excursions a snap. A short drive into Harwich and Dennis gave access to many great restaurants and ice cream shops. We would recommend to family and friends.

Fantastic!

The home worked great for us! It was the perfect spot in a quiet neighborhood. Less than 5 minute walk to the private beach and easy drive into town. The home was gorgeous and our 2 year old loves the outdoor shower! We would choose this place again.

We had a wonderful time! The amazing kitchen which is open to the diving room, living room, and family room areas made for a lovely space! The house is very clean and well-maintained. The owner was responsive and helpful! We enjoyed having the private beach so close! We found the little shops and restaurants of Harwich Port so fun! A perfect cape cod vacation!

Hydrangea Heaven

A comfortable house, clean, well-stocked, nicely decorated, with a new kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. The large yard is beautifully landscaped with gorgeous hydrangeas and other plantings, in a quiet neighborhood, an easy walk to a private beach. The owner was responsive, helpful, and easy to deal with. We'd rent here again.

Paradise!

This was the perfect home and location for a wonderful Cape getaway. Great location to so many Cape experiences. The house was spacious, immaculate and had everything we needed including a beautiful kitchen and wonderful deck and outdoor space as well as all the beach apparatus you would need. The close, private beach access was perfect and we enjoyed many walks looking for treasures and enjoying the view. The owner was so responsive and receptive. My 6 year old daughter especially enjoyed the “seashell” bedroom with the assortment of books and the little dollhouse. Overall just a fantastic experience!

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it truly has everything that makes a Cape Cod summer unforgettable. The home itself balances privacy and togetherness — quiet corners for downtime and open spaces for family time, games, and meals. Outside, there’s plenty of room to play, relax, or simply enjoy the breeze.

The beach is the real star: stunning, peaceful, and just steps away — only 0.10 miles. It’s perfect for long walks, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the water stays wonderfully warm all summer long.

The neighborhood is one of the most desirable in Harwich Port: quiet, friendly, and close to everything you need. And to make your stay even easier, we provide beach chairs, floats, and beach toys so you can pack light and enjoy more.

What makes this property unique

This home has been a cherished family retreat for years, and since opening it to guests in 2020, it has earned excellent reviews for its comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful updates. It blends the warmth of a well‑loved home with the reliability of a professionally maintained rental. Every space has been carefully cared for, refreshed over time, and designed to make vacations easy, relaxing, and memorable.
