The Week Went by Too Quickly!

Our family , consisting of the grandparents, the daughters with their husbands and 2 year old sons, returned to Kismet for a second year in a row the week of 7/29/2023 – 8/5/2023, and it was exactly as we had remembered it. Once again, we found the house to be spotless and containing everything that we had discussed ahead of time. The layout is perfect as each set of parents has their own room and bathroom and there is an adorable “kids room” already stocked with toys. Speaking of stocked, the kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything we needed to grill a few nights and have a lobster bake which has become our traditional last night meal. The best part about this home is its location, a short five minute walk down a street which leads to a beautiful, family friendly , extremely well kept beach. The house had more than enough beach chairs and towels for everyone and also came with a cart to wheel them down the street, although , truth be told, we put the kids in the cart and carried the chairs. The outdoor shower was perfect for cleaning up after a day in the sand and a ground level room with an easily accessible sliding door made storing everything until the next day a snap. We loved it so much we are already booked for next summer. If you are looking for a great house for vacation on the Cape, we highly recommend Kismet.

Family vacation rental in Harwich

We rented this property for ourselves (mom & dad) & our 3 adult children & their spouses to stay at for a family wedding in Harwich & then afterwards to spend a week’s vacation together. This is a beautiful and roomy house in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. It is walking distance to the beach and has a wonderful porch in front of it that overlooks a marsh. We felt it was centrally situated for our cape vacation excursions to Truro, Provincetown and Hyannis & Nantucket. We felt the only flaw was that the wall to wall rug in the living room and on the stairs needed to be cleaned. The rest of the house and the bedding and towels were clean and well maintained. The kitchen had every utensil that we needed to cook family meals as well as plenty of space to eat in the kitchen. We were very happy staying here and would rent this house again.

Family of all ages

We had a great stay. It was clean and there is lots of space for everyone to be comfortable. My teenagers really enjoyed using the pool table and having their own area to do their thing. The walk to the beach is short, probably about 5 minutes. I really appreciated the use of the beach room. It has towels, toys, noodles, a wagon (perfect to transport my toddler) and more. The owner is very responsive to questions and the property manager was really nice. We had family with us of all ages (4 months to 73 years young) and we all agreed we would stay again.

Even better than expected

The photo's do not do this place justice, the kitchen/dining/living area is much larger in "real life", our family of ten (ranging from 12 to 80+) had plenty of space to spread out and make ourselves at home, especially when combined with the games room on the lower level. Exceptionally clean (spotless) and well equipped. Kitchen had everything that we needed - we cooked at home every night. A million towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and a great wee pull-along to take everything to the beach. We have rented plenty of places on the Cape, some a lot fancier (and a lot more $$$), but I think that this has been the fave so far. A very short walk to the never-busy Red River Beach, we went swimming every day, the family could come and go as they pleased which made for a very relaxed week. The large deck, with plenty of seating, was also a popular hang-out spot. The property manager, Phil, was very responsive to any questions and made us feel very much at home. We would 100% rent this house again.

Great Vacation House

This is a wonderful house for a family vacation. The house is spacious, very clean and has a well equipped kitchen. The "beach room" has everything you need for your visit to the beach, which is a few minute walk from the house. The host was super responsive when we had an issue with the internet. This is definitely one of the best summer rental available and I hope to be able to stay again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Attar

Our family has owned the adjacent property since my grandfather built it in 1955. Our grandsons are the fifth generation to spend the summer there.

Why they chose this property

When we purchased 6 South Chatham Road in 2015, our son named it "Kismet" or Fate, since we had admired it for many years. Our growing family required more room, and we were happy to add the additional bedrooms to accommodate more guests. We are not able to be there all the time, so have decided to rent it so others can enjoy the beauty of the area and comfort of a home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The house is very spacious, with great views of marsh and ocean. It is a five minute walk to family- friendly Red River Beach. There is a spacious lawn for playing games and a wrap around deck, complete with dining set and gas grill. The house is very comfortable and bright. The numerous sliding doors and windows let in the ocean breezes. The outdoor shower comes in handy after a long day at the beach and you can relax on the deck sipping a cold drink as the sun sets. After dinner, the waves will lull you to sleep in your cool and comfy large bedroom, ready for a new adventure tomorrow. You may never want to leave!!
