PROPERTY: This adorable and newly renovated house, is in a VERY quiet and private location tucked away in a neighborhood, off of the main roads. You can hear the birds chirping, the resident wild turkeys gobbling, but not traffic noise, which is a major asset to this property's location.
BEACH & RAIL TRAIL: Easy access to Red River Beach, just 1.5 miles down Depot or Uncle Venies Roads. The Rail Trail path is at the property's cul-de-sac, about 5 houses down. The path runs 25 miles from S. Dennis to Wellfleet and is a great adventure for the whole family to experience more parts of the cape on foot or bicycle.
YARDS: The front and back yards are large and grassy wrapped around one side of the house. The neighborhood is super safe for the kids to play in the yards and safe for everyone to get to the protected entrance of the bike path.
INSIDE: The living room is bright and airy with comfy sofas, a chair, and a TV. The renovated and well stocked kitchen is off of the living room and has plenty of cabinets and storage. Amenities include a coffee maker, toaster, blender, wine fridge, and new dishwasher.
KITCHEN & PORCH: The kitchen door opens to the dining space of the house, a screened in sun porch. Having coffee on the porch and listening to the birds tweeting in the morning is divine! The porch has a rug, sun shades, and a ceiling fan.
BEDROOMS: There are two bedrooms with queen beds, and one room with two twin beds. One queen room has a full bath with shower. There is a 2nd full bath with tub and shower next to the two other bedrooms. Sheets, towels, and beach towels are provided by us. All rooms have closets with hangers, luggage racks, and extra blankets.
OUTSIDE: The yard and patio area are so peaceful and full of beautiful greenery! There is patio table that seats 6 and also some extra patio chairs. Outdoors also features a BBQ and a shed. Grassy and tree lined, the backyard is completely private from neighbors.
BASEMENT: In the downstairs basement you'll find the washer and dryer. There is also a storage rack with household cleaners.
LOCATION: This house is in a GREAT location because you can sleep and relax in peace and still get to conveniences like Stop N Shop grocery (2.2 miles), restaurants like Brax, Embers, and Hot Stove (within 5 miles), the Nantucket ferry (Freedom Cruise Line) from Harwich Port (2 miles), or the Martha's Vineyard ferry (Hy-Line) from Hyannis (17 miles).

Stayed here with 3 others for a wedding in Harwich and we loved going back ‘home’ to this place. Comfortable and well-equipped to quickly feel like a home.

Loved staying at this lovely cottage with our family of five. Beautifully decorated and appointed with everything you need to enjoy the nearby beaches and the bike trail which steps away. We will definitely return.

Thank you for the kind words, Mark & Heidi! So glad that you enjoyed your week and Harwich.
Perfect getaway on Cape Cod. Updated with the amenities to feel like home, immediate access to the Rail Trail for running, biking and walking, and close to great towns and beaches. A great property, and one we hope to enjoy again.

The home is absolutely beautiful, spotless, with everything we needed. It's perfectly situated on a very quiet street - front porch sunrises were delightful. Easy check in, check out, great communication with host. We had a great stay!

So glad that you and your family enjoyed the stay in Harwich. The location does have great accessibility to sights and amenities. Thank you for the nice review.
This was such a treat for our family! The home is lovely and we found everything we needed for a one-week stay. The overall design/layout provides a peaceful and relaxing refuge after a long day at the beach. We hope to come back again next year!

Laura and Ed were great hosts for a weeklong stay in the Cape. The house, property, and amenities were as described and expected. We had EVERYTHING we needed in a home away from home.

This is one of the best rentals we’ve experienced. Great location. The house is updated, clean and stocked with everything you need. Beds a tad soft but did not keep us up.

Thank you for complimentary review Natalie. So glad that everything was to your liking for a great family week on the Cape. We’d love for you to visit again. Laura
This was our first family trip to Cape Cod and the house provided us with the perfect home away from home. The property was recently updated, offering an open floor plan for gathering with all the needed amenities and beyond. It is located conveniently between Chatham and water based activities located in Hyannis. We loved the easy access to the Rail Trail too. Laura was an excellent host and we will definitely be in touch for our next trip up. Thank you so much!

Great House in Quiet Neighborhood - Close to everything
This house was completely remolded to a perfect vacation house - plenty of space, nice amenities, close to restaurants, beaches, Cape Cod bike trails, shopping --- yet located in a very quiet neighborhood. Great porches, well appointed kitchen & bathrooms.Would rent again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks to Laura for excellent communication. 5 stars!

Thank you for the great review Keith! We’d be glad to have you and your party back again. :). Laura
We had the most perfect week and Laura and Ed's home. The property was impeccably clean and well equipped with linens, beach supplies, and some basic cooking items. Red River Beach right down the road was our favorite spot for dinner picnics. We loved the quick access to Chatham and surrounding areas, and the variety of beach options within 15 minutes. I can't say enough nice things about the property and about Laura as the host. Good thing I have a dog to get home to otherwise I might have stayed forever!!

Awesome review! Thank you Laura for choosing our home for your vacation. Please come back again!
Spotlessly clean. Well appointed. Unlike other Cape Cod rentals, this home has been renovated with many thoughtful updates including a Florida room, where we ate all of our meals. The brand new outdoor shower was great. Communication with hosts was easy and hassle free. I would definitely stay here with my family again!

Thank you for the nice review Minayo. We’d love for you to stay again. I will let our housekeeper know of your compliment. Laura
This home has been lovingly upgraded to provide a warm and welcoming stay. The home is very clean and bright and has the most incredible porch for early morning coffee chats and evening card games. The location is perfect for touring around Cape Cod and for access to the wonderful bike path. We had a fantastic time as a family enjoying the cape from the charming house. Laura is very organized and provides all the details you need for a seamless vacation. Thank you Laura and Ed for sharing your home with us. We hope to come back again.

Thank you Kyla for the nice review! The porch was a recent addition and a lovely spot to sit. So glad that you and your family had a great trip. :) Laura & Ed
We loved this home! It was in a wonderful neighborhood where we could ride bikes safely and for those waiting a bigger bike ride challenge we could jump onto the rail trail bike lane we could bike over to Chatham or Harwich and stop by the ponds.
Great access to our favorite areas on the Cape.
Comfortable living space with modern amenities, books and games.
Sitting on the front porch reading books was our favorite when we weren’t exploring beaches and ponds around the Cape.
Look forward to coming back next year!

About the host
Hosted by Laura Straub
We are living in CA and have family in Boston and Chatham and an incoming freshman to Providence College. We’ve enjoyed many summer vacations on Cape Cod so we've recently purchased in Harwich to spend time on both coasts and visit family. We're hoping that you love our house as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Quiet is valued for our home living and this property is very peaceful and in a friendly neighborhood. This location is close to the harbor, dining, our family in Chatham, shopping in Harwich, Chatham and specialty trips to Hyannis.
Years ago, we rode on the Rail Trail with kids and family and it was a great memory from our stays on the Cape. What a treat to have that same trail practically in our backyard!
What makes this property unique
Mornings are the best in this house with chirping birds and the gobble of the resident turkeys. Having coffee on the sunporch is the best time of day. The greenery and privacy is amazing from our front and back views.
