Great home

This house is nicely located in Harwich Port - walkable to beach, shopping and restaurants. Very clean with lots of amenities. We stayed in April so a little chilly for the nicely appointed back yard patio and lovely sitting area in garage. Would love to come back in season. Great stay!

Two week retreat

This is the third Spring vacation we've spent at this beautiful cottage. The home is immaculate with a well furnished kitchen, top of the line bedding and linens and a beautiful outdoor courtyard with seating, gas fire pit and shower. The neighborhood is quiet and close to the beach, with shops just one short street over. We love the fact that bikes are availble for use and the rail trail is only a short distance from the cottage. Our hosts were welcoming and responsive before and during our stay. We're already looking forward to returning next Spring!

A real gem

We had a wonderful time in the cottage which was even better than the pictures showed. One of the cleanest rentals we have come across. It is very cosy and we felt immediately at home. A big plus is the very short walk (not even 10 minutes) to the beach. It is a great location for exploring Cape Cod.

Wonderful stay

This place was just wonderful. Everything was clean, neat, and organized. There were all the subtle amenities there to make for an easy stay. The location was great, so close to the Main Street with shops and restaurants and a reasonably close drive to other destinations on the Cape. We would stay here again!

Great house...again

We liked it so much last year that we booked again as soon as we could for this year. Owners are great and the property was just as clean/well kept this year and more charming (backyard was redone to be even better than before). Good location, quiet street. Perfect for us. Highly recommend.
