*Beautifully updated Cape getaway! Brand new pool for 2024!
Harwich Vacation Rental - ID 34034

We had the best time staying at Greg and Stephanie's home in Harwich! They have a quiet tree-lined street next to some amazing food, trails, and beaches are a quick drive. We felt like we were in a very central location that was quiet and serene at the same time. Coming from the city, this was the perfect place for us to decompress, relax and unwind. Our toddler loved all of the family's toys and books, and was loving the slide and play fort out in their lovely backyard. They have thought of everything while setting up their home, and even have a basket of small toiletries in case you forgot toothpaste etc. We only wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more time in the backyard grilling! We managed to get two bike rides in using their equipment and my son loved sitting in the bike trailer while we biked around the rail trail. The entrance to the trails is soooo close, and makes it really easy to get on/ off without stressing about biking on too many main roads.
We bought a week-long beach pass and explored a lot of the ocean beaches just a five to ten minute drive away, and some of the fresh water beaches are even closer. We can't wait to go back to Harwich! Greg and Stephanie have amazing food and sightseeing recommendations. We would highly recommend staying at their home, Idle Way!

We had a wonderful family vacation at this lovely home. It had everything inside and outside to make our vacation easy,fun and memorable . The backyard was perfect for cookouts and s'mores and the children loved the playhouse. The location is excellent with a short drive to beaches. And walking distance to the rail trail, playground, and free tennis courts. A perfect vacation spot.

Greg & Stephanie truly have thought of everything with their rental! From phone chargers on the night stands, to baby proofing for our little ones, to beach gear and so much more. Traveling in from NC with five little ones isn't easy but having so many amenities (like a pack n play and monitor) already there for us was beyond helpful. The hosts were easy to communicate with a left clear and easy instructions. Highly, highly recommend this house if you've got little kids (and even if you don't)! They'll be entertained and happy! My family doesn't get together often as we're spread out across the US but the house provided the perfect place for lots of memories to be made together. We can't wait to return one day! Thank you!

We were so happy to spend our Spring break vacation week in this beautiful house. It has a lot of amenities for indoor and outdoor fun. The house was clean, inviting, and very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. Everything that this house offers during the summertime wasn't fully set up, but it was made all available for our use if we wanted to. My son and two of his friends who came to visit us had a great time egg-hunting in the backyard on Easter Sunday, and with all the activities/entertainment in the basement.

Location was a plus. Easy access to the main routes (Routes 28, 6, and 39) that takes you anywhere you want to explore. Super close to the cute downtown, local beaches, a playground, bike trail, and much more.

Greg and Stephanie were great hosts. Greg was responsive and very easy to talk to. He was available to answer questions and relaying info. Thanks Greg and Stephanie for your flexibility and the welcoming gift. And many thanks again for sharing your beautiful and relaxing house with us. We can't wait to come back.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The moment we walked through the door we could feel the home's warmth and were impressed by the aesthetics of the decor as well as how spacious it was.

There was both room to gather in common areas or find a place for some peace and quiet. We found the basement area was a perfect spot for our adult children to enjoy.

The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. So many conveniences were provided, including a coded keypad entry, charging station, smart home features, hallway nightlights, fully equipped kitchen, ample places to sleep, cozy blankets and more. There was even a beautifully decorated Christmas tree!

Although I am sure this would also be a wonderful summer rental, with its close proximity to beaches and outstanding outdoor spaces, if you are looking for a getaway, I would highly recommend staying here any time of year.

We feel fortunate to have shared time with family over the holiday in this lovely home.

We had a group of 7 old friends stay here for a weekend golf tournament. The home was so spacious and in a perfect location to everything we needed in and around Harwich. The outdoor deck and patio with the lighting was absolutely incredible. We weren't able to spend a ton of time at the house and enjoying the outside areas, but we thoroughly enjoyed every second that we were there and actually wish we had more time to spend at the house because it was so great.

The home was clean, the beds were so comfortable, and the amenities were perfect. Greg and Stephanie are amazing hosts and were super easy to work with throughout the booking process right through our stay.

I had an issue with one of the key locks and called Greg and he walked me through the situation immediately. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home, your fantastic hospitality, and we hope to come back next year!

We had the opportunity to stay at Idle Way for two weeks in August. This house was more than we could have asked for. It had EVERYTHING we needed as well as everything extra for two young kids. The location was perfect, on a quiet street, walk to breakfast and the park, hop right on the bike trail, and a huge backyard for the kids to play the wide variety of games that came with the house including a bounce house, cornhole, can jam, and a variety of bikes and scooters. My husband and I loved being able to work out on the trx and ride the Peloton everyday, which was such a treat for someone who doesn't own one. The four bedrooms are all a good size and there was ample space to spread out and not get in each other's way.

We loved the personal touches as well like the reusable branded cups, the personalized door code, and the supplies and snacks that were there for us upon arrival.

I can't say enough great things about this house and the owners. The owners are fantastic and were in constant communication before and during our stay. We already booked our two weeks for next summer :)

We had an amazing time at Idle Way in Harwich. The house is immaculate, very well organized, clean and the decor is so inviting. The outdoor patio area is fantastic with plenty of room and amenities for the entire family to enjoy. Close to Harwich beaches and downtown Harwichport, this house has it all!

My family and friends had the pleasure spending a week in this large home that had been recently updated in 2020/2021.

When I rent a vacation home we want an outstanding location and this house has it! Cape Cod Bike Path is crazy close, all the Beaches/Restaurant/Shops in Harwichport less than 1.5 Miles away, and a great launching spot to our favorite places in Chatham, Orleans and Dennis.

When we got back to this home, we were able to unwind and relax in 4 good sized bedrooms (two on the first floor and two on the second), 2 Full bathrooms and a private large deck in the backyard to enjoy lunch or dinner. When the sun sets, we threw wood in the Yukon Solo Stove and enjoyed our drinks and smores almost every night.

The owners Greg & Stephanie where great to deal with throughout the entire process and we we very surprised how well this home accommodated our needs as renters. This is a smart home and we appreciated all the power stations throughout the home! There is also a Peloton Bike where the owners have created a Guest Account for use during your stay! The list goes on and on with Lawn Games, Hammocks, Outdoor Shower, Lights which turn on with your voice, etc...

Thanks again Greg & Stephanie for sharing your home with us.

I have no words to describe how amazing of a stay we had!! I already was blown out of the water from the clear communication from the owners, to every resource possible to assist with our stay, then when we arrived it blew me out of the water even more! This home offered everything possible, especially for those with kiddos. Everyone in our group repeatedly stated how amazing the stay was and how we can't wait to return next year!

Don't pass this one up if it's on your list of possible vacation rentals! Go relax at "Idle way" with your family/friends, you won't regret it!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Idle Way. We instantly felt at home. The house is very well stocked with everything you need.

The amazing backyard was perfect to sit and relax after a day full of biking and beach. Highly recommend.

We spent Christmas time and the house was absolutely perfect! Our kids enjoyed the yard and the book corner while we enjoyed the quiet of Cape Cod and cooking meals in the kitchen for the holidays! Highly recommend and will be back!

Our family had a wonderful week down on the Cape and we were lucky to stay at this cute and spacious house! It was clean, beautifully updated and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The living room was very nice, the couches comfortable, and there was a good sized dining room table off the kitchen to eat at. The kitchen was very functional and well stocked. The back deck, outdoor shower and grill (with extra propane tanks) were all brand new and fantastic and the central AC made the house very comfortable. We stayed in the first floor bedroom and our three boys shared the bunk bed room right across the hall. Upstairs is pretty spacious and private with two bedrooms and a nice bathroom. It is great for families that want to split the house together but also have a little space apart while under the same roof. We plan on coming back in the Summer of 2021!
