About this property

Quiet Cul-de-Sac, Beach & Rail Trail Minutes Away

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).

Wonderful family getaway to Cape Cod

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.

Wonderful property!

This house is fantastic. It has lots of room to relax and entertain and was a wonderful, restful place for us. The neighborhood is quiet, there are multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, and the layout of the house lends itself to both spending time together and having some privacy--not always possible in cape rentals! Everything is nearby given the home's proximity to a main road. The owner was so sweet and helpful. If I had to give one negative, it would be that the bed in the master bedroom was very soft...it's just our personal preference for a firmer bed. Otherwise we loved the house and would stay there again for sure! thanks Laura for everything.

Harwich house

It was a wonderful property and very comfortable in a great centralized location. Our only issue was the trash removal policy. We were responsible for bringing the trash (for a $10 fee) to the trash center. We were touring so could not make the posted hours, therefore we charged $20 for leaving 2 bags of trash. We felt that the rental fee should have covered that.

A perfect family getaway!

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!!

Glorious Mornings Beneath a Beautiful Oak Tree

A real summertime retreat awaits. The property has all the comforts of home and is aesthetically charming: a stylish modern, open plan design with a charming Cape feel. Everything you could think of is provided, including games, bikes, local history books. We were very comfortable in the three bedrooms; and the two big bathrooms, fully stocked, were a real bonus. The home was very clean and provided all we needed and more. Having your first cup of coffee on the front porch beneath the big oak tree was a precious start to every day. A great location for jumping on the bike path--to the right--or riding down to the beach--to the left. And a short drive to Harwich for dinner and music; it's a wonderful little summer town with cute "salty" shopping with a friendly, family bar scene. We found it best to ride bikes to the beach--the parking lots fill up quickly on hot days and cars are turned away. We spent our time on bikes, on beaches, in town; but I would have been very happy to remain on the front porch beneath the beautiful oak tree all day long. A beautiful home in a very convenient location. We were fortunate to find this home. And grateful for all of its amenities.

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.

Perfect low key location

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!

Awesome to be back

This was our third time at Laura and Ed's in Harwich and still does not disappoint. They have renovated their home since our last stay and though it worked for us before, it is even more functional with a larger master bedroom and a new master bathroom, renovated kitchen and awesome front porch where we could sit back and relax at the end of a busy day at the beach. As always, the place was spotless, the check-in was seamless and we had great communication with Laura and Ed, but we really didnt need much from them anyway. Just checked-in and enjoyed. Location is perfect between Harwich and Chatham several beach options and loads of restaurant options. We will definitely be back if they'd have us!

A true gem in the Cape

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!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Straub

Host profile image
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.
