About this property

This cozy home set off the main road on a private lane offers 4 bedrooms which can be difficult to find on Cape Cod. Formerly a two bedroom cottage, the home footprint was expanded to include 4 bedrooms and would be perfect for a large family or a few friends traveling together. For those new to this area, the downstairs is part of the original 1940s cottage and does have shorter ceilings around 7 1/2 feet (real cozy!). The upstairs, added in the 80s has a more traditional ceiling height.

The home is centrally located between Dennis Port and Harwich Port and it is a short 800 yard walk to the beach. With multiple shops and restaurants within a 10 minute drive in either direction, finding a meal or some new Cape Cod gear is just around the corner. Much like this home, Harwich Port is going through an upgrade over the last 5 years and has many new shops and eateries.

The backyard oasis has a brand new ground level deck, brand new grass (artificial, shhh! don't tell anyone), and a seating area with fire pit for the off season guests looking for a getaway. While cornhole is one of our favorite pastimes out here, the "Olympic field", as we call it, can be used for a handful of different games or Cape Cod's best activity, relaxing.

Recently updated den is a perfect hideaway for kids (or adults) of all ages. With a pop out sofa, it is perfect for movie nights or video game marathons. The rooms comes with a Nintendo Switch docking station as well as a 3n1 HDMI outlet that is easily accessible in the media center.

The downstairs bathroom, formerly labeled the 'cruise ship bathroom', just completed a down to the studs renovation (May 2022). She is small but mighty now!

Seasonally, each bedroom window will have an AC unit as well as the living room in the summer. A gas insert was installed in March of 2023 for any fall guests that may want to enjoy a fire at the push of a button. Baseboard heaters are available to warm up whatever rooms you are using throughout the home.

This home is less than two years off of an ownership change and we are constantly making improvements that may not be updated in all the photos!

Harwich Fun

We had a great stay. The house was walking distance to the beach and also all the other essential stores like a breakfast spot, Luke’s Liquors, supermarket, and good Italian deli for sandwiches, especially when you are hungry at the beach. The house was clean upon arrival. We were able to check in early, especially for the group up and out early. There were four bedrooms and AC in all rooms. There was a side room off of the kitchen which was great for the younger kids. They could watch tv in their our space which the adults could chill in other areas. We all loved our trip to Harwich.

Beautiful Home

The house was perfect for our family vacation. The neighborhood was very quiet and the town was inviting. My family was very surprised to see rabbits about in the front yard upon our arrival. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Spot!

We loved spending time at Harwich Hideaway! The home was perfect for our needs….so many amenities were thought of by our host which made the week even more enjoyable. Everything was super clean and tastefully decorated- including a welcome basket of snacks. The nearby beach was exactly what we were hoping for, on the quiet side with local families visiting. We are already counting the days until we can come for a return trip! Thank you, Drew!

Great place on the Cape!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It's a very cozy and nicely decorated Cape house, walking distance to the beach and to some restaurants, and close to lots of other fun locations like mini golf, the bike path, playgrounds, and Harwich center. The house is pretty spacious and the beds are very comfortable, and the kids enjoyed the hammock in the back yard. The owners answered our questions right away, and even left us some champagne and delicious snacks! We highly recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Drew Allison

Three families recently partnered up to buy this family home. We are spread throughout the country but our family's roots are in the northeast.

Why they chose this property

This is a 4th generation family home. Our partnership spans 2 generations and we have been coming to this home for a range of 10-40 years! We have continued to renovate this former 2 bedroom (now 4) cottage to maintain the old charm and modernize features throughout.

What makes this property unique

Whether sitting on the porch on a warm summer day or sitting by the fire pit in a sweatshirt out back in the fall, the one constant is the familiar Cape Cod smell. Taking an outdoor shower at sunset is an absolute must. The ground level deck was just built and the 365 day a year 'forever lawn' creates a year round oasis for playing games or doing nothing at all!
