We chose this location because we love not having to drive too much, once we are on the Cape. A glorious beach is a just a short walk away (.2 mi.), and you can also walk to nearby restaurants, a morning muffin shop, mini golf, and the picturesque Herring River. The wonderful Cape Cod rail trail bike path is easily accessible, as is the Nantucket ferry. It is also a short drive to Harwich's freshwater pond beaches, golf course, or tennis. Also a short distance is hiking or renting paddle boats and kayaks at Nickerson State Park, or going to (free) Cape Cod Baseball League games right in Harwich in the evening. Kids love the trampolines and go-carts, and our personal favorite -- the bumper-boats, all less than a mile from the house. Summer theatres and movies are also nearby. Rainy days are infrequent, but just in case, Harwich boasts an excellent library which will loan you puzzles, games, and videos as well as books.
