We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage on Long Pond. The home-which has beautiful water views-very comfortably accommodated our group. The kitchen and outdoor gas grill were great for preparing meals. The private beach on the pond is the star of the show--many wonderful family memories were made here paddleboarding and sitting by the fire. The host was highly responsive and helpful. A very special spot for a family vacation!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are thrilled to hear that your family had such a wonderful stay at our Beach Cottage and that the home comfortably accommodated your group. It means so much to know you enjoyed cooking together in the kitchen, grilling outdoors, and taking in the beautiful views of Long Pond. We are especially happy that the private sandy beach helped create lasting family memories—from beach play during the day to relaxing around the fire in the evening. Those are exactly the experiences we hope every guest takes home. Thank you as well for your kind words about our hospitality. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we hope to welcome you back to the cottage for another Cape Cod vacation in the future!

It was a sad morning leaving this beautiful home . The home is truly lovely. We have owned beach rental properties and have stayed in many in this area of the Cape and have no suggestions to even offer. The Brown family nailed it in terms of making it feel comfortable and well accessorized. Everything was so well organized and even labeled. They have a well stocked kitchen and everything was in new condition. The location on the bike path and having our own beach on Long Pond (biggest lake on the Cape!) was a huge hit with our family. The host communicated so quickly and kindly. We felt at home and will definitely come back!

Our stay at the Beach Cottage was excellent! We love the location being right on the bike trail and having our own Sandy Beach across the street. The owners thought of everything. The house was well stocked and we enjoyed grilling out one night on our deck. The area is fun and local restaurants recommended by our host were welcome. We loved going to the Dockside in Harwichport.

Great house. Layout worked out perfect for us. Minisplits in all the rooms. Tastefully decorated. Well stocked with necessary kitchen stuff. it was great being next to long pond and the bike path and having miles and miles of dirt roads and trails behind the house. Owner was very accomodating and helpful. Definitely recommend.

This house was a perfect fit for our family! We have two small children, so they loved the beds, and there was even a pack and play and a little stroller. We had spectacular weather and the minisplits kept the house nice and cool -- there's even one in the living room, not just bedrooms, which we appreciated.The house really was fully equipped -- we brought some kitchen items because you never know what will actually be there, but we didn't need to! There were even toys, children's books, and beach and swim toys. The house is literally right on long pond and the rail trail, which was so lovely. You can see the lake from the living room and most of the bedrooms. The private lake beach was beautiful and so perfect for us with two littles, we could pop over and back home easily (which we did often!). My family loved the home so much, our son is already asking if we can go back next summer!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review! It means so much to hear that our cottage was such a great fit for your family. We are especially happy your little ones enjoyed the kids’ amenities, toys, books, and the private sandy beach on Long Pond. We know how much easier family vacations are when everything you need is already there, so it is wonderful to hear the fully equipped kitchen, Pack ’n Play, stroller, and air conditioning helped make your stay comfortable and relaxing. We are glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful weather, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and the easy walk back and forth to the beach throughout the day. Hearing that your son is already asking to come back next summer truly made us smile—that is the best compliment we could receive! It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we would be delighted to welcome you back to make even more Cape Cod memories.

Long Pond Home Rental in HarwichWe had an absolutely fantastic family vacation at this beautiful home on Long Pond in Harwich! The property was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect stay. The private beach was a highlight—stunningly beautiful and a true gem for our family. The kids had a blast swimming in the lake and making s’mores on the beach, creating memories we’ll cherish for years.Peter, our host, was exceptional. His warm hospitality and incredibly detailed welcome book made planning our Cape Cod adventures a breeze, with spot-on recommendations for local activities. This property is a rare find, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’re already looking forward to booking again for next summer!
