Our stay at Stepping Stones was wonderful. It fit our extended family perfectly and we were very comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. The location in Harwich Port can't be beat, directly across from the harbor and short walk to shops and restaurants. Marylynne is an excellent host and it is easy to get in touch with her.

Marylynn and DaveWe can't put into words how much we enjoyed our time at Stepping Stones & Pebbles! 9/23/26-9/29/26With the NorEaster brewing you graciously allowed us to have our daughter and son-in-law's outdoor wedding inside. After some rearranging of the furniture we think that the Storm was actually a blessing. Your home is spacious and stunning. The Ceremony /Recepton became an intimate and fun night. We didnt even notice that there was a storm going on outside. We appreciated all of your ideas and your generosity. Stepping Stones Estate was perfect for our large family. It has that homey feel to it but is also spacious and elegant. The view of the harbor across the road is picturesque. We are looking for a reason to come back as this is our new favorite rental home.Michelle & Gary C.

We stayed here for our son's wedding at the Wychmere Beach Club, and it was the perfect spot. The property is incredibly well-maintained, with beautiful flowers and gorgeous landscaping throughout. Just an easy walk across the street takes you to amazing views of the harbor. The house itself has so much charm. As soon as we arrived, we roamed around just amazed at the style and character of the place. The host was incredibly helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend, and we'd absolutely stay here again.

Family Birthday Celebration

The house and surrounding gardens / grounds were lovely! The house was well equipped and accommodated 15 adults and an infant perfectly. Great location for walking to beach plus driving to other parts of the Cape. Owners were very accessible to address concerns. Only negative was WiFi connection which was unreliable.

This is a terrific house. Large and spacious. Easily accommodated our 16 family members.

We loved the house and it’s close proximity to my son’s wedding venue at Wychmere Beach club. The house is spacious and allowed our large family to be together for 4 days during wedding activities. We would highly recommend this home… owner was very hands on… available whenever we needed her… terrific property and owner.

Beautifully maintained home with spectacular grounds and harbor view.

Plenty of space for group gatherings, yet areas for quite solitude. Our family of ten enjoyed this property centrally located on the Cape that provides easy access to everything we covered from Provincetown to Martha's Vineyard. Hope one day to return with grandchildren added, since two of our children were expecting on the trip. Thanks to the Clunes for sharing your beautiful home.

Quintessential Cape Cod Home

This home is wonderful with a vast lawn and lovely gardens throughout the property. The location close to the village and beaches is great. The large main house and cottage are well appointed with modern amenities while maintaining the charm characteristic of a quintessential Cape Cod home. Our family of 14 found the property delightful and a comfortable fit for our large group. The hosts were very responsive to our needs and communication was great! I would highly recommend this property for a multigenerational family vacation.

Family Reunion and Birthday Celebration

The house was large with plenty of room.. We liked the fact the bedrooms were separated into different areas of the house. Gave plenty for all to spread out. The property was secluded and quiet. Beach was a short walk. Harwichport was a quaint town with good restaurants. Pebbles was adorable and loved the outdoor shower and bathtub.

Fabulous Vacation!

Our family just had its most memorable and fun-filled Cape Cod vacation ever at the gorgeous "Stepping Stones"! Three generations enjoyed the wide green lawns that were perfect for family ball games, the exceptionally well-appointed kitchen where gourmet "treats" were created, and the large indoor and outdoor dining areas that were perfect for family meals and impromptu get-togethers. We loved the nearby beaches and the wonderful view of Cape Cod's most picturesque harbor. There were so many spacious rooms - all comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is in such a great location for our favorite Cape acivities. This idyllic home and grounds exceeded our expectations in every way!

Great for our family get together

Tons of space and gorgeous yard. Had plenty of linens and living room is amzingly cozy and warm. An easy walk to the beach and eating breakfast in the front yard watching the sunrise over the harbor was breath taking. We walked for ice cream down the street each night and had the delicious melataways at Bonatts bakery every morning and had dinner once at Brax about 500 yards from the house. Cannot think of anything else you would need. The kitchen was huge and there is a back patio with a grill and a table for atleast 12 people...so much fun. Coming back next year.
