Awesome stat

We had an incredible time staying at coolwhip in Harwhich. It was centrally located to all of the activities we had planned and the house was fully stocked with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Even though we didnt get to use all of the amenities due to the weather, we enjoyed everything the house had to offer, especially the beautiful view of the pond. The homeowner was also very responsive with communications. We would gladly stay there again!

Adorable house with beach on a pristine pond

We had a great stay. The home is large with lots of places to spread out, perfect for a large family. The pond is so clear and the soft sand beach was lovely. We loved that we could visit the numerous local ocean beaches and also swim and kayak at the pond...the best of both worlds! It was a great way to spend a week.

Incredible

We could not have had a more comfortable stay. Everything we could have needed/wanted was at the house, we loved the setup of the rooms and open living room/kitchen. We hosted dinner twice over Thanksgiving and the house was more than stocked well, which really made my life easy. It was our first roadtrip with my 3 month old and the beds gave all of us much needed sleep. Really appreciated the Truro wine - amazing touch! Would love to stay here again. Thank you!!!

Beautiful House and Location

My family and I had an amazing time at Cool Whip! The location and house were beautiful. The pond is an amazing feature, and the sailboat was the icing on the cake! The house is located central to most Cape Cod activities. I would recommend anybody who needs to stay in Cape Cod to check this place up. I caught three largemouth bass near the dock. I used a crank bait near the surface at dusk.

Fabulous getaway property

The house and location was amazing - perfect multi-family set up and the private beach/dock was fantastic! We had such a great time at the house, kayaking on the lake, enjoying the backyard and fire pit. Jerry was super responsive and answered all questions promptly. @Jerry - thx also for the welcome bottle of wine. It was a nice local treat with our lobster dinner. 😁

Beautiful spot !

Very comfortable home with plenty of space for all. We were only 3 but could easily have had extended family and all been comfortable. True to the listing there are lots of private little areas to enjoy as well as a nice open space for cooking, lounging and dining. The host has many thoughtful and helpful touches throughout to make your stay enjoyable. The outdoor space is peaceful in a quiet neighborhood. Would love to return in the summer months to take advantage of being waterfront with all the toys needed for summer fun !

Best house we have ever rented!

This house is absolutely amazing for any family who loves freshwater adventures. The private beach is clean and large enough to accommodate sun bathing, relaxing in the shade, digging in the sand... and the kayaks, row boat, and sail boat will keep everyone entertained. The pond has a sandy bottom and the water was super clean. I can’t say enough about this place! The house is huge and has many places for each family member. The kitchen is well equipped and the extra seating with the barstools came in handy. Jerry was a gracious host and provided us with updates after the rare tornado in Harwich knocked it our power. We hope to be back next summer!!

The Perfect Getaway

The Cool Whip is the perfect getaway home. It’s centrally located and easy to travel up or down the Cape without being stuck in a vehicle too long. Shopping and restaurants are near by if you need anything. The beach and access to Bucks Pond for boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, etc. is perfect. Home is very charming. Unique layout, and provides for a very comfortable and relaxing environment. Jerry is very communicative and attentive to questions or concerns. You won’t regret renting this home for your Cape vacation. It may actually be one of your best experiences. You really can’t ask for much more. Thanks for everything, Jerry! We’ll be back!

Hidden gem!

From the moment we arrived, this place was a gem! Tucked away on the end of a quiet street, we arrived in the evening and settled into a warm and generous space, tastefully decorated with everything you would need for a getaway. The kitchen is well stocked and lovely to cook in...plenty of room and light. It was such a delight to see the lake from the living room on the first morning, always present and calming. Visiting with my parents, we had good times kayaking, playing bean bag toss, walking on the nearby rail trail, and exploring the environs. Everything is a close drive from this location and can certainly accommodate a nice crowd but with many rooms and places to be - decks, side rooms, outside patio, beach. The owner was also very responsive while we were staying there with any questions we had. Would highly recommend to families looking for spot to get away on the Cape!

About the host

Hosted by Jerry Facey

Host profile image
617-710-0022 We're long-time Cape/Harwich vacationers and have made our dream come true buying this Lakeside paradise property near mom/grandma's house, and now we want to share all the fun with you!

Why they chose this property

Been coming to Buck's Pond since age 7 and with a very large family have always loved the lake, the views, the water activities, the local Cape flavor, and we know now we can make that happen for our kids and grandkids for decades to come.

What makes this property unique

House is large enough for everyone to find a place to chillax if needed, but also has multiple gathering areas for the whole crew to party and laugh for hours on end!
