We really enjoyed staying at this house. Lots of space, enough to accommodate 10 people, very clean, close to the beach and the town center.
We would definitely rent again!

The house was perfect for our group of 10 adult friends who were in the area for a wedding. Elizabeth was a wonderful host - very responsive and helpful, the house was very spacious and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. would stay again!

Thank you for your review, Michele. You would certainly be welcome back.
Great property! Nearby grocery store and lots of restaurants. Spacious property with fun backyard. It was a great space for a group of college friends to catch up and get ready for a wedding :)
Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive. Will definitely stay there again next time I’m at the cape.
Good location with a good layout for a large family or group. House had 4 bathrooms and laundry which was a huge plus for us. One street over from Chatham and a 5 min drive or 8 min bike ride to the Red River beach. We liked that it was close to Harwichport/Dennis/Chatham and central to all the Cape Cod League baseball fields. Backyard was nice and had ample room to relax in. Was wondering if the owners ever thought to make a path to the Red River that is behind the house, might be a good kayaking opportunity or be able to see some of the nature back there.

Thank you for your very nice review. As for a path to Red River, there actually is one. The yard is only partially fenced in. There’s more area that extends to Red River. It is primarily a tidal river. Though the “river” is more like a creek at the end of our yard, recent changes suggest that kayaking might be feasible in the near future.
Overall very good experience. Took us a while to find cutting boards, locatedin narrow cabinet next to oven. Ice maker in refrigerator was a game changer!

Thank you Joanne. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. You'd be welcome back any time.
My family had a wonderful time at this comfortable and well appointed home. Red river beach was very close and we were able to get there and back with ease. Had cookouts and toasted marshmallows over the fire pit. Plenty of space to spread out or be together for meals. Elizabeth the host was extremely responsive and helpful with all my questions. Definitely highly recommend!

Hi Julie,
Thank you for the lovely review. We are glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back anytime.
Best regards,
Elizabeth
Very spacious home, there were 5 of us so we all had our own bedrooms, but house could certainly hold a much larger group. Nice centrally located family room to gather to watch tv. Large, fenced back yard, with outdoor shower. Owner/host was exceptionally responsive. It should be noted that entry to home sits up a small hill and bedrooms are on 2nd floor so may pose a problem if guests have any mobility issues

Wonderful Cape home
We found this to be wonderfully spacious for the 9 of us with two families with children staying in each 'wing' and myself (grandmother) staying in the middle....perfect! We appreciated the outdoor table for eating every night and watching the British Baking show on the large screen TV. The kids (and a few adults) loved the foozeball in the basement. The location was perfect for us and the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. We have rented smaller houses in less quiet neighborhoods in the past, so we were delighted with this house. We would be happy to return next summer.

Hi Corey,
We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. You and your family will be welcome back at any time!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
We really enjoyed our stay. A little disappointed in the proximity of the house and the beach. The walk to the beach was difficult since to walk there you need to share the road with fast moving traffic and no soft shoulder. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
The home is at end of a quiet cul de sac with fenced in back yard. From the garage side of home, you see all greenery. It is comfortable and private with easy beach access. The outdoor shower is great and there are plenty of bathrooms for a group. A nice array of cooking provisions are provided as well as dining in or out options.It is nice to be so close to both Harwichport and Chatham.
Great place to share with our children and grandchildren.
Loved the separate wings, family room, living room. 3 1/2 baths plus outdoor shower are so convenient. And we loved Red River Beach. Very responsive host. We would definitely rent again.
We enjoyed the house and it worked well for a family with young children, there was plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet spot or enjoy a family game. The yard was very nice. The location is great, in easy access to everything in Harwich. Elizabeth was very responsive to all our questions and worked us with to make the stay pleasant. While the property is accurately listed on VRBO, I do wish that I had know that I would have to sign a fairly restrictive contract before I booked the property. Elizabeth and I were able to work out a compromise that suited both of us in the end. I just think it is good to know about the need to sign a contract when you are thinking about booking a reservation.
Great location, walkable or short drive to Red River Beach
Quiet street with fenced, private back yard made property great choice for family with young children
The property is set up to accommodate two separate living spaces with plenty of bathrooms. A fun rambling home! Near enough to beach to do drop offs and pick ups with ease. Kitchen was well equipped. Meat thermometer? Yup. Birthday candles? Yup! Stay was not long enough. Perhaps we should return…..

Hi Ellie,
We thank you for your kind review. We were delighted with your family and your stay. You’d be most welcome back.
Best regards,
Elizabeth
My family and I had a wonderful stay at your home! The house was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals and it was especially nice to have the fire pit and beach chairs available. All of my communication with the homeowner was very positive and any communication was answered very quickly. I am hoping to return to this property in the future. It was a perfect location to explore Cape Cod!

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Johnston-O'Connor
We are long-time lovers of Cape Cod - it's natural beauty, opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and more. With a family of six, now expanded to nine with two marriages and a grandchild, we find the Cape is a wonderful place to have fun and reconnect. We were delighted to make a formal commitment to the Cape by purchasing our home in 2009.
Why they chose this property
Our home is in a great location to reach anything on the Cape! We were especially attracted to this house because we knew we could have our adult children with their families, for all to enjoy being together yet offering privacy with the south wing, which accommodates 5 people. We like to walk to Red River Beach, drive 15 minutes to Nauset Beach, enjoy nature, a nice meal at home in our ample dining room or outdoors with the grill in our fenced in backyard. If some like to walk to the beach and others prefer to ride, we sometimes have a "walker" drive to the beach and leave the riders. Then the driver returns to the house and walks down to the beach. There also are many nearby restaurants. We especially like Buca's around the corner from our street for a special night out. Yum! The drive-in theater is an annual must for us. We are often astounded that after more than 50 years of visiting the Cape, we still find something new to do every year!
What makes this property unique
As described above, this house has plenty of room (2,700 sq. ft.) and can accommodate two families, particularly multi-generations, offering privacy and yet togetherness. We enjoy walking or cycling to Red River Beach, viewing the adjacent Red River Conservation area, and the quiet and safety of our cul de sac location and fenced backyard.
