SAMPLE TESTIMONIAL: ''I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we all had at your house in Chatham last week. What a gorgeous spot! And the layout was perfect for our extended family. Ground-floor facilities for my mother, lots of rooms, two gathering places for groups inside and the fabulous deck outside, a dining table big enough for all 15 of us, and room to set up croquet on the grass. Add to that perfect weather and the warm water at Hardings, and we were all pinching ourselves all week. Also, thank you so much for your quick responses to our questions. Thanks again for a magical setting''. (Complete online Guestbook is available)
BEACH: The beach is a key reason many, if not most, people come to the Cape. ''Harbor House'', historically & affectionately called ''The Main House'', is the largest vacation rental in the Hardings Beach area. Sun & relax on the deck & enjoy the lively harbor boating scene. Walk, bike, or drive to Hardings Beach; with large groups, do all three. Come and go to the beach throughout the day.
Some additional information about Hardings Beach: Hardings Beach was ranked by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top 10 NATIONWIDE ''Best Beaches for Families''. The reason Hardings Beach received this high and prestigious rating over all other Cape Cod beaches, as the ''Top Cape Cod Beach for Families of All Ages'', is due to its expansive size (over a mile in length for those long beachwalks); its beautiful dunes; its white sandy beach; its lighthouse, reached by a nice scenic beachwalk to Stage Harbor; its South-facing orientation for the best and longest sunny days; its location on the warmer and calmer waters of the south-face of the Atlantic Ocean, known as Nantucket Sound, the best of Cape Cod; its lifeguards; its safety for children; its ample parking; its REAL bathhouses; its relatively uncrowded summers (everything is busy on the Cape but Chatham, a quaint fishing village & resort, is off the beaten path); its swimming, recreational surfing, fishing or surfcasting, kayaking, windsurfing, all possible regardless of the tides, with great non-threatening waves for all ages; most importantly, no dangerous riptides and no unexpected beach closures; and, of course, its wonderful location in Chatham itself, ''Cape Cod's Most Beautiful Walking Village'', the ''Nantucket of Cape Cod'', known for its vibrant Town Center with unique shops, restaurants, galleries, festivals, and famous band concerts!! Not as rocky & shallow as the Bay, not as cold & rough as the Atlantic...Hardings Beach on Nantucket Sound is ''just right.'' show more show less
