About this property
Waterfront 4BR, AC, Private Beach, Private Deep Water Dock, Kayaks, Fire Pit
This well-maintained Cape house, situated along the banks of the beautiful Herring River with easy access to Nantucket Sound, is ideal for those seeking a quintessential Cape Cod vacation. In 2020 we added air conditioning.
The unique private waterfront property, comprised of two lots, has been owned by one Massachusetts family since 1955. It is particularly suited for those who love the outdoors. Enjoy fishing, boating and kayaking from the private beach and dock. Enjoy the 2 kayaks provided or bring your own boat up to 28' and tie up at the dock. Swim in the warm, clean river water. And don't forget your fishing rods and hand nets if you like blue crabs! South of the Lower County Road Bridge, sailors and boaters can have safe harbor and quick access to Nantucket Sound.
The classic Cape sleeps eight, with one bedroom on the first floor and three on the second floor. Its interior features a central living room that opens to a cheerful sun room offering wonderful water views. The fully equipped kitchen looks into a formal dining room.
Outside, it has an expansive yard for playing and picnicking and an outdoor shower. There is ample parking for house residents and their guests—and even space for your boat trailer, if you have one. There is an outdoor fireplace to cook on or sit around in the evening. We also have a gas grill if that is your preference for cooking.
The property is in close proximity to Belmont Beach (0.5 miles), Pleasant Road Beach (0.7 miles) and bike trails, in addition to Harwich Port shopping and dining and Dennisport shopping and kids’ activities like mini-golf, bumper boats, batting cage and go-carts.
The VRBO cancellation policy options are limited. Therefore, we have written our cancellation policy under the ‘house rules’ category. Please review or contact us if you have questions.

We are limiting our rentals this year as the property is for sale. If sold, rentals will be honored.
