We had a wonderful stay at this property. The layout worked very well for our family of five. Our favorite part about the week was the proximity to the bike path and the ease of getting into both Harwich and Chatham easily. Overall we found the property beautifully updated, with everything we needed for a weeks vacation.

WOW! The Beach Heather was a most memorable vacation home for our family. It was our first vacation with our infant twin boys, and Jen and Tom made it a home away from home for us all. Everything we requested (highchairs, pack and plays, strollers) was waiting for us upon our arrival. We cannot say enough about the Beach Heather - it was immaculate! We have been vacationing on the Cape for many years and this is now our favorite (and only!) place we will stay!! A most special vacation house!

We stayed here 22nd to 29th june 2002. The house is amazing, well equipped with everything you need, there isnt anything they have forgotten. The house is in a perfect location for exploring the cape, its close by to great amenities resturants, shops, the beaches, the bike trail, so much to do never enough time. If the days exploring leaves you tired out, there is a great bbq at the house so you can dine alfresco and enjoy the great weather. We have been to the Cape twice now, and would like to return again . We would definately return to the house and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to someone else. Thanks again for your great hospitality.

Matt & I had the wonderful fortune of finding the Beach Heather, which will forever be etched in our memories! While planning our "destination" wedding, we decided that it would be easier for us to book a house for the week leading up to the wedding vs. staying in a hotel. Little did we know just how easy that would be when dealing with Jen and Tom. We have been renting houses on the Cape for many years, but nothing can compare to the hospitality we experienced at the Beach Heather. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful accomodations, but some of the highlights: the wonderful treats in the refrigerator awaiting our arrival(Tom makes some of the best cranbery bread ever!), the fresh flowers in all the rooms, the tastefully decorated and immaculate home (not just a house!), every amenity you could imagine including sheets, towels, coffee, tin foil, etc. etc., the well planned book of activites and restaurants including wonderful tips and feedback, comforatble beds, a great back yard and HUGE picnic table, chairs for the beach and a blanket for the park.....yes, like I said I could go on forever. Even their boys left touching hand made cards congratulating us on our marriage! The Beach Heather was a wonderful start to our amazing wedding weekend and we truly thank Jen and Tom for making it so comfortable!

Heather on the hill

Very comfortable and well located home in a quiet neighborhood. Split plan with good size bedrooms/baths on either end of a large living room open to a well equipped kitchen and dining area . 3rd bedroom on one end as well. The backyard and patio are lovely. Outdoor Shower too. The owner is nearby and very responsive if you have questions. We highly recommend.

Great vacation home

Very clean home in a quiet neighborhood. Joe the homeowner met us at the home and was very friendly and helpful and went through the house with us upon arrival. He was very easy to contact when we had a question. We loved having the master suite on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms and the open floor plan was fantastic for family gatherings. I would definitely recommend this home for vacation!

Great House

Had a great experience with Joe and the home. Unfortunately, we had a bit of a cloudy, rainy week, but the home afforded us enough space (indoor and outdoor) to still feel comfortbable even when stuck indoors. Easy access to the bikepath was also excellent.

This rental was everything we expected and would consider staying again. The price was a little more than we wanted to spend, but had several updates. Being a just over a mile to Red River beach was very convenient

Another nice stay at 6 Heather

This was our second time staying at this property. Had a great time. A few hiccups (clogged drain in hall shower and lack of hot water) that the owner corrected immediately. I would just add that the grill outside needs extensive cleaning.

Anniversary weekend

We went for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary and had a great time. The house was outstanding. Plenty of bicycles to choose from for a ride on the nearby trail. Beach chairs a-plenty for our time at the beach. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. Communication with Joe was easy and helpful. We plan to go back!
