We really loved staying here. Great location with 5 min walk to the beach and short drive to downtown Harwichport and Chatham. Plenty of room for family of 5!
Property was in an excellent location, and a nice walk to the beach. House was clean and neat. Only drawbacks were the carpet in the master b/r, and the numerous holes in the fence!
We loved being able to walk down to Red River beach multiple times a day! The house is very cute, large bedrooms and the fenced-in yard was great for our dog.
My husband, myself, two kids (6 year old twins), and my mother-in-law stayed here and it was a great fit for our beach location. It was a quick walk down to the beach and we enjoyed how easy it was to fit a beach walk into our day after a full outing. This is our first time in Harwich (we usually stay in Chatham) and we will definitely be back.

Hi Natasha, thank you so much for staying with us! We are thrilled your family had a wonderful time and go to enjoy the ease of access to the beach! We hope to host you again!
A wonderful location! Walking distance to beach and center of town a short drive. The hallway carpets need some repairing and a small ant problem in one of the bedrooms. Overall a lovely get away cottage.

Disappointed by end of the week
At first, check in was easy. The host accommodated early check in which was great. As the week progressed however, we noticed a significant ant issue throughout the house and the screens on the doors were poor quality which led bugs in. We were very frustrated by the end of the week.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us, hosting you and your group in August was an absolute pleasure. I was happy to assist with your early check-in – my goal is always to kick things off on the right foot by ensuring a smooth check-in process for our guests!
I'm genuinely sorry to hear about the bug situation during your stay. Please know that we have a 24/7 service available for our in-house guests, and reaching out to us during your stay would have allowed us to address the issue right away. I hope the refund I provided helped ease any inconvenience you might have encountered and I hope you book with us again in the future so I have another opportunity to earn your 5-star review!
