About this property

Summer Escape - July & August Dates Available

Steps — literally 0.10 miles — from a gorgeous private beach, this fully equipped Harwich Port home delivers the classic Cape summer you’re craving. The location is exceptional: tucked on a quiet no‑access road, close to golf, great dining, and plenty of kids’ activities.

Inside, a 2018 renovated chef’s kitchen with GE Café appliances has everything you need for gourmet cooking or a classic lobster boil. The open layout connects the kitchen, dining room, and family/living rooms — perfect for gathering, game nights, and easy vacation living.

Slide open the doors and listen to the ocean from the beautiful deck. Grill and dine al fresco, or relax in the landscaped yard surrounded by hydrangeas and birdsong. Don’t miss the outdoor shower — a Cape Cod essential.

The primary suite includes a full bath (shower only) and a private deck. Two additional bedrooms complete the upstairs. Sleeps 6 comfortably.

Nothing to do but unpack, breathe in the sea air, and settle into summer.

We had a wonderful time! The amazing kitchen which is open to the diving room, living room, and family room areas made for a lovely space! The house is very clean and well-maintained. The owner was responsive and helpful! We enjoyed having the private beach so close! We found the little shops and restaurants of Harwich Port so fun! A perfect cape cod vacation!

Hydrangea Heaven

A comfortable house, clean, well-stocked, nicely decorated, with a new kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. The large yard is beautifully landscaped with gorgeous hydrangeas and other plantings, in a quiet neighborhood, an easy walk to a private beach. The owner was responsive, helpful, and easy to deal with. We'd rent here again.

Paradise!

This was the perfect home and location for a wonderful Cape getaway. Great location to so many Cape experiences. The house was spacious, immaculate and had everything we needed including a beautiful kitchen and wonderful deck and outdoor space as well as all the beach apparatus you would need. The close, private beach access was perfect and we enjoyed many walks looking for treasures and enjoying the view. The owner was so responsive and receptive. My 6 year old daughter especially enjoyed the “seashell” bedroom with the assortment of books and the little dollhouse. Overall just a fantastic experience!

5-star all around

The only bad thing about this house... is that it's not ours! We loved our stay: the welcoming and spacious layout, the sleek kitchen, comfortable furniture at every turn, birds in the beautiful yard, the quiet & privacy, and (of course) proximity to the beach. It was a treat every single day to walk down the path to the ocean. Janet is also the ideal host: thoughtful, friendly and responsive from start to finish. Thank you again for opening up your beautiful home. You made our summer!

Perfect family vacation property

The property far exceeded all of our expectations. The expansive gourmet kitchen is connected to the dinning room and two great rooms enabling our family to do different things but still be around everyone. Master bedroom has a private deck accessed by a sliding door. Very private and great for viewing the many foxes chasing rabbits. Other two bedrooms were fine. The yards are professionally manicured with beautiful flowers. Tons of beach chairs, beach towels, games, bikes, beach games and more. Second deck off the kitchen was quite large and has appropriate furniture. Hammock is a nice touch. Summary, we would absolutely recommend the property and will come back next year.

Family Fun

My family, including my two young children (4 and 1), stayed at this property, and we would highly recommend it. The location is wonderful, a very short walk to the beach,. We loved the layout of the house, which includes a smaller TV room off the kitchen and a larger living room towards the front of the house. The TV room was far away from the bedrooms which was great for the kids to play in during their very very VERY early morning wake-ups. The living room has a huge coffee table that was perfect for putting together puzzles and playing with the enormous collection of board games at the house (so many memories from my childhood - Mouse Trap, Connect Four, Don't Break the Ice!!). Beautiful large backyard and deck., and on a nice, quiet, private street. We made so many wonderful summer memories here with our kiddos. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to others.

Perfect summer getaway minutes walking from a beautiful sandy beach

Our family had a wonderful week staying at this amazing house in Harwich Port, conveniently located off the beaten path yet close to everything at the same time. It has all the creature comfort we ever wanted in a summer house. The kitchen is well stocked with all the amenities, including a wide variety of seasonings for at-home cooking. The coffee-and-expresso machine was incredibly convenient for our daily use. The house comes with 3 spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and clean linens. It was wonderful to see a closet full of bath and beach towels. The private beach was a short walk from the house; kids really enjoyed swimming in the ocean. We went biking a couple of times, once around the rail trail nearby, then drove to P Town to ride around the sand dunes. We brought 4 bikes; our daughter got to use one of the bikes from the garage. Our kids rated this as one of the most comfortable stays and they are picky!

About the host

I am a licensed active Realtor and a diligent responsive owner who is eager to help your family have a fantastic time on the right side of the bridge.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it truly has everything that makes a Cape Cod summer unforgettable. The home itself balances privacy and togetherness — quiet corners for downtime and open spaces for family time, games, and meals. Outside, there’s plenty of room to play, relax, or simply enjoy the breeze.

The beach is the real star: stunning, peaceful, and just steps away — only 0.10 miles. It’s perfect for long walks, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the water stays wonderfully warm all summer long.

The neighborhood is one of the most desirable in Harwich Port: quiet, friendly, and close to everything you need. And to make your stay even easier, we provide beach chairs, floats, and beach toys so you can pack light and enjoy more.

What makes this property unique

This home has been a cherished family retreat for years, and since opening it to guests in 2020, it has earned excellent reviews for its comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful updates. It blends the warmth of a well‑loved home with the reliability of a professionally maintained rental. Every space has been carefully cared for, refreshed over time, and designed to make vacations easy, relaxing, and memorable.
