Our multigenerational family loved staying at this Harwich rental home. Check in and check out was seamless and the host responded quickly to any questions. The location is ideal, close to Harwich beaches, shopping and restaurants. We especially enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the pond. We highly recommend this wonderful rental home.

Family Vacation

This Cape home was lovely and the location perfect for our needs. It was nicely furnished, neat and clean and the accommodations were wonderful. The owners Jennifer and Glenn were terrific. There were a couple of minor issues upon our arrival and they responded immediately to solve them.

Great location with easy access to anywhere on the Cape. The beach is very nice and the lake is a pleasant spot for kayaking. The biggest issue is that you spend your last morning doing laundry because the host requires you to wash the bedding and towels. I think most people would gladly pay a little extra to have that that done for them and spend that time enjoying the property .

Best on the Cape

We have stayed at many places on the Cape, and this is the best by far. Its lakeside location and wonderful amenities made it a perfect family vacation. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Summer Trip

This property is in a great neighborhood with a beautiful lakeview. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and paddle boat and liked that the house had two different levels. We were close to some of the other Cape towns which allowed us to explore their downtowns. We loved our summer vacation.

Sister weekend

Our stay at this beautiful home was wonderful! The home was clean, comfortable, roomy and had a wonderful view of the pond. Sitting on the screened in porch , had you feeling like you were right on the water. There was plenty of seating for inside and out for relaxing and enjoying the view. We will definitely be returning to this lovely home.

Great Location

We have used this property for years and enjoyed it especially this year as the weather was great. The location is convenient to both Harwich and Chatham with the added advantage of being on a fresh water pond (a New England term for a small lake!). If the wind and/or temperature at the beach are not good, the pond is more protected and you can still enjoy swimming and boating.

We love this vacation home. The location is excellent, being located on a quiet lake and only minutes from the ocean. The house is very clean and the layout allows for plenty of room for our extended family to relax without feeling overcrowded. The home's amenities are perfect and the town of Harwich is close to many Cape attractions/activities.

Lakeside Dream

We had a wonderful family vacation in this lakeside home. The house is well-equipped for a family — lake “toys”, kitchen needs, linens, etc. The house is impeccably clean and open concept so amenable to an easy use of the kitchen, dining area, and living room. We go to the Cape almost every year and this is the best house!

Wonderful property!

The property is beautiful. We spent most of our time on the screened-in porch enjoying the view of the lake. The property was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pedal boat and kayaks as well! The outdoor shower was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and Jennifer and Glenn were amazing to work with. They were very accommodating to me and my family when we had challenges with our travel day. Wonderful hosts! We would definitely stay at this property again. Thank you!

Cape Cod Goody

The location is great: right on Buck’s Pond and close to several towns on the Cape. The house is extremely well stocked with all the things you want and often don’t get in a vacation rental: kitchen supplies; bath and beach towels; all kinds of outdoor chairs; kayaks, floats and more stuff for the beach. The host, Jennifer, is helpful and very responsive.

Picturesque

This is a lovely home right on Bucks Pond. My son and grandkids went kayaking every day, sometimes twice. While the location was a little confusing at first, we quickly realized how convenient it was to everywhere we wanted to go. The house was very nice and extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay here and Jennifer was very gracious and accommodating.

Tranquil, scenic, well appointed vacation home

This was our first week long vacation to Cape Cod, as we are traditionally Maine vacationers, and we had a fantastic time! Jennifer was delightful to work with. Harwich is such a terrific location! Close to everything! The house was fully stocked! The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms were both large. The pond was gorgeous!

Beautiful Home for a Vacation

We visited this home for our yearly summer trip to the Cape and absolutely loved the property! It’s close to everything but feels delightfully quiet and private. The shared spaces both inside and out were perfect for our family because we love to all be together cooking and eating and relaxing. The pond view was gorgeous and having the kayaks and paddleboat available was so much fun. The house truly does have everything you could want in a summer Cape vacation rental! We really enjoyed our stay. Side note: we used our own towels and linens for the most part so we didn’t have to do a ton of laundry on Saturday morning. But it is all provided.

My friends went and enjoyed their stay. The weather was not in their favor but made the best of it. I unfortunately was ill and couldn’t make it. They loved the house and all the amenities.I would love to try going again, but I would go June or early September. Host Jennifer was very easy to reach out to. KC

Awesome house on Buck’s PondThis is the second year

We were so lucky to stay at this incredible house again this year!!! It’s our family’s weekly vacation on Cape Cod, Dad, Mom, daughter and husband, son and two 7 year old cousins!!! The beautifully decorated home had everything we needed and when we had a problem, it was dealt with immediately! Buck’s Pond was a big draw for fishing, swimming, and playing! I was amazed at how creative the grandchildren were at keeping themselves busy at the pond! They just loved it! Hopefully we’ll be able to stay again next year! Thanks so much Jennifer and your very helpful husband!

Exactly what we all needed

My family and I stayed for a week in June and felt the home and the lake it was situated on was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The house was clean. It was peaceful, relaxing and quiet there. The lake was picturesque and perfect for everyone aged 2-70 to enjoy. From splashing in the water by the sand bar to kayaking, we created memories few homes could offer. As an added bonus, the fully screened-in upper porch made enjoying every form of weather the Cape has to offer an absolute treat. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for letting us use your wonderful property!

A wonderful vacation spot!

This is a wonderful vacation spot. From this screened porch there is a great view of Bucks Pond, our beach with the three kayaks and paddle boat, and a chance to watch family members swim out to our raft, or boat across the pond. Boating and swimming in Bucks Pond is great! There is also a ground floor patio with plenty of comfortable seating, a good view and a very good grill. The house is really nice, meets all of our needs. There are two bedrooms and a bath on each floor. There is also a separate living room on each floor. The kitchen is very well stocked. All the furniture is well maintained, attractive and comfortable. We look forward to returning again.

Why they chose this property

Growing up on the Cape, we have always loved to swim and sail the ocean, our waterfront home offers a peaceful setting to relax just steps away from all the activity.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of the open concept, vast water views and peaceful surroundings. The location is ideal with a walkable neighborhood, proximity to Harwichport, Chatham and many fantastic beaches.
