Family Cape Vacation
We had a great family vacation at the Thorndike house! There were 10 of us including 5 adults and 5 kids aged 4-11. The house was a rambling older home with a lot of personality and room for everyone to find space to “get away”. Kitchen was very well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. It happened to be the hottest and most humid week on the Cape of the summer so the upstairs bedrooms that didn’t have AC got quite warm but it was unusual weather for the Cape. Every day was a beach day and our favorites were Sheep Pond, Paine’s Creek and Mayflower beach. Everyone especially enjoyed the Double Deuce garage with the ping pong table and large sitting area for watching a movie at night. The house had plenty of beach and sports equipment for all ages! The owners were very responsive to our questions. All in all my family had a wonderful time at the Thorndike house! Great value!

Excellent vacation spot!
We have been vacationing in the Harwich area for well over 30 years, so we know a great vacation spot! The house is situated next to the bike path and across from Brooks Park, which made it so we did not have to get in the car to play tennis and ride to First Crush Winery and Devil's Purse Brewery. The quaint older home provided enough room for our large family and the garage hang-out was the best! We played ping pong every day and the older kids enjoyed the badminton in the spacious yard. It was a very short drive to either Red River Beach or Harwichport. The owners were gracious and communication was excellent! Thank you for sharing your home with us for our vacation.

Awesome house for a big family; great location!
I’ve been coming to Harwich almost every summer all my life, but never stayed in Harwich Center before. It was amazing! This house is directly across from Brooks Park and on the bike path. It’s a five-minute drive to the beach. We really enjoyed the park (especially the playground, craft fair, & concert at the gazebo!) with our young kids. The house itself is a huge old home from the 1800s with tons of charm and cool little details everywhere. Plenty of bedrooms for everyone (most with a/c) and the main living area is open, so it worked great for our group (two families with young kids). Note that the upstairs twin bedroom is accessed through one of the queen bedrooms - perfect for us with our kids but something to note for other groups (although there is actually a small 2nd back staircase leading down from that twin bedroom). The “Double deuce” garage is awesome - it’s basically an extra living/rec room, perfect for when grown ups want to keep hanging out after the kids go to bed and don’t want to worry about waking them up! We really appreciated the garage’s extra fridge and beach supplies. The outdoor shower was lovely. Despite the central location, the large yard was quite private due to the hedges. The only thing that could be improved would be adding a/c to all bedrooms (although maybe not possible in such an old house?). Overall, I can’t say enough about this place. We hope to return in a future year!

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Thorndike

Host profile image
We live in Stowe, Vermont, but the charms of the Cape have drawn us there for 30 years. We stayed at the house while my father was alive, and inherited it when he passed away in 2006. It continues to be a family treasure for us.

Why they chose this property

The house, grounds, and location have earned the nickname "The Fun House" among the neighbors. Badminton, barbecuing, ping pong, big screen viewing in the Double Deuce (i.e., the garage converted into a lounge and play area), and water fights with the hose keep things jumping.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the on-site activities, nearby activities including the bike path (which runs along the boundary of the property behind screening), tennis courts and pickle ball courts, childrens playground across Oak Street at Brooks Park, golf courses, and beaches (take your pick - Nantucket Sound, Atlantic Ocean, fresh water ponds, or Cape Cod Bay) are readily accessible.
