Photos and Description of the Harwich - Harwichport vacation house rental 6 bedrooms each with its own bathroom - sleeps 12

The prevailing, southwesterly breezes off Nantucket Sound in the summer months fill the air with the refreshing sounds and smells of the sea. This rambling beach house easily accommodates up to 12 people. It is right on Nantucket Sound, which has the warmest and gentlest water on Cape Cod. The rental is ideal for families with children. The property works well for a large gathering because there are open spaces where everyone can be together as well as 3 distinctly separate living spaces for more quiet, alone times. The L-shaped floor plan offers relaxing privacy and shelter from Cape Cod's southwesterly winds without compromising the incredible views of the sky and Cape Cod's south shore and Nantucket Sound. The overall ambiance of is of a casual Cape Cod summer house. The exterior landscape is traditional Cape Cod with an open grassy back yard, sea grass, and roses with stairs to the private beach on Nantucket Sound, a flagstone patio and picnic table, and an outdoor shower

HAC197178 Lincoln, Vermont
Review Submitted: March 22, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This June will be our third year in this amazing home! There are 12 of us, family and friends who have been vacationing on Cape Cod for almost 25 years! Our 20-year rental in Brewster was sold, so we had to start all over again...... and you know how hard it is to teach old dogs new tricks! This is the third rental we found since then, and our search is over, as it is PERFECT! It's right on the water with a grassy yard overlooking the sandy beach ...... we see a few bunnies munching on tender plants on occasion...... there's lots of room indoors and out to lounge, read, play Pinochle, eat the amazing food we seem to come up with every year....... the house has five bedrooms plus an upstairs efficiency apartment that my mother and sister have claimed as theirs.... and we all have all the room we need, privacy or togetherness any time! Morning coffee out in the yard looking out at the water is absolutely THE BEST! I don't even think we've had more than one or two days of rain in our two years so far. But if it does happen, the house itself is light and roomy and we won't even mind then! It's wonderful to be able to count on a place that is consistently great every year..... all we need is our linens and clothes, camera and a toothbrush, and we're ready for the week! The neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk.... as well as the beach, which is a few houses down from a small town beach. The swimming has been great each year; even during the third week of June we haven't found it too cold to take a dip. Wish we could stay longer!

Dynamic layout

Paul_From_Virginia Richmond, VA
Review Submitted: March 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
In July 2008 my family and parents stayed here. It was the perfect time of year.

The property layout is great. There are two large common areas(rooms) where we couuld all gather for games/TV/movies. The rooms were the living room and the sun room. Additionally, the sun room was great for dinner. We set up one large table and all ate together in one room which given the group size was great for such a large family group. In additon to these two rooms of course was the outside courtyard which also was available however we chose not to use it for dinner.

The bedrooms are great in that they are situated in such a way that they are private and the noise from common areas does not reach them. So some of our group could go to bed while others stayed late into the evening/morning. Also great was the central air so all could escape the summer heat during the day but primarily the humidity at night.

Located mid-cape allowed for quick day trips to either end of cape.

The waterfront does not have much surf so body surfing is not an option. However we still did group swimming. Seaweed is present. But being New Englanders that did not phase us.

Plenty of beach chairs, beach toys were provided. One item youu may want to bring is a full LP tank for the grill so as to avoid having to run out just when starting a diner.

Made for a greate memorable family experience where we all could share time while allowing time away/privacy as wanted.

One note. Garbage is picked up at end of week. So I would recommend lobster/seafood feast(s) for later in week so as to avoid the smell for a week.

A great rental for families who want to spend time together while at the same time have seperate private time.

Classic RUSTIC Cape Beach House, Great Location

Review Submitted: July 28, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This house is wonderfully located on one of the nicest streets in West Harwich, very close to Harwich Port and everything you might need. The yard is overgrown and you can't easily see the beach from the yard, but being on the beach is nice enough. The main house is quite spacious in terms of living area, but the "ell" has 2 TINY bedrooms plus tv area and a tiny full bath. The "crow's nest" has no a/c but a very strong wind off the water keeps it cool enough. In all, it held 2 families easily and could hold 3 or more. Our only major complaint -- the bathrooms are very dated and have no ventilation, so our bath towels never dried and smelled mildewy after a couple days. The kitchen is dated but has newer appliances so it was not an issue. There is an outdoor shower with hot/cold water (great for rinsing kids) but it is not enclosed for privacy. I would love to stay here again if the owner would renovate a few things, but heaven forbid, don't tear it down, it's a great old house.
