Outstanding location on a quiet cul-de-sac road that backs up to the Cape Trail for biking and walking. Very clean and beautiful home. Nice deck for relaxing and enjoying the morning sun. Definitely recommend!
Beautiful home and grounds. Great communication with the owner. The location is in a great spot with access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail off the back yard. We all loved the updated bathroom and our huge master bedroom. Already planning to stay here next year.

It is always a pleasure to have you back to Penobscot Bliss where you have been coming yearly now for over five years!
“See” you next year and thanks for the great review!
We absolutely love staying at Elaine’s home—this was our second time here, and we’ve already booked again for next year! The location couldn’t be better, with the Cape Cod Rail Trail right out back for walks or bike rides, and just a quick drive to some of our favorite beaches. The house itself is spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need (and more!). Elaine is a wonderful host—so accommodating and easy to communicate with, which makes the whole experience stress-free. This home has truly become our Cape tradition, and we can’t wait to return!

I'm glad you found our home well suited for you and your family. By staying for two weeks I'm sure you were able to experience all Harwich has to offer with gorgeous beaches, quaint shops and much more. The close proximity of the rail trail which can be seen from the backyard of the house is always a favorite. You took very good care of my house which I appreciate! Come again!
Beautiful well kept home in a quiet neighborhood. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and easy access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Wonderful hosts. Highly recommend this property.

Please come back anytime. You took exceptional care of the property! The proximity to the CCRT (Cape Cod Rail Trail) for biking, walking and jogging is a big attraction. Stay well!
This was our second time staying here and it was just as good as the first stay. Perfect location-mid cape, right on the rail trail, clean and comfortable rental and the owner, Elaine is great to work with. Next time we vacation on the cape we will definitely stay here again.
We have stayed here numerous times in the past. Have always enjoyed it. The owner is very easy to work with, And would recommend it highly for a nice quiet peaceful get away

About the host
Hosted by Elaine Searle
Our primary residence is in Unionville CT where we have lived many years. Our dream was to own a home in Cape Cod and we love all the towns uniqueness but especially Harwich!
Why they chose this property
I have been vacationing in Cape Cod since childhood and adore the Cape! I have fond memories of my yearly vacations with my parents and brother many years ago. I love the beaches, shops, galleries and much more that the Cape has to offer. My dream was to own a home on Cape Cod. We would like to share our home with you and hope you can make your own special memories for years to come!
What makes this property unique
LOCATION!! For the golf enthusiast, Cranberry Valley Golf Course is located 1.3 miles away, was rated "excellent" by Zagat, and voted as "best of Cape Cod" 2011.
Shoppers have a wide selection to choose from including various antiques dealers, quaint Chatham shops, Outlets, Cape Cod Mall all within a 30 min drive.
Walk to Hinckleys Pond is 1/2 mile down the bike trail. Proceed to Pleasant Lake General store then head to Long Pond which is on the Brewster/Harwich line. This lake is the largest in Cape Cod as well as one of the best in New England. The lakes are perfect for all of your favorite water time sports. The beaches have their own unique features with nearby sound beaches in Harwich as well as Cape Cod National Seashore beaches!
Cape Cod is a nostalgic year round destination! The summer is special where Harwich Port is a short drive with its many shops, art galleries. and restaurants. The Wychmere Harbor is a photographer's dream. Historic Harwich center has bands, concerts and award winning craft shows. Neighboring Chatham and Brewster are must see destinations and have their unique characteristics. Fall is exciting and filled with memorable activities. There is less traffic, no crowds and all the restaurants are open. The Harwich Cranberry festival is one of the largest and oldest, attracting over 100,000 people annually in this 10 day event in September which culminates with a spectacular fireworks display. Enjoy the sunshine and swim in the warm lakes, bay & ocean beaches with no parking hassles or fees! Winter is the quietest season; visit picturesque small villages for holiday shopping, catch views of lighthouses, culinary gems or check out the dunes. The Cape comes alive in the spring where trees bloom & days become warmer. This is the perfect time to visit the outer cape and gentle trail walk of Fort Hill in Eastham. The Pilgrim monument in Provincetown opens April 1st & is the tallest all granite structure in the USA. Spectacular view!
