Perfect secluded 4 BR - WALK 3 min to BEACH / 8 to DOWNTOWN
Harwich Port - 200 yds to beac Vacation Rental - ID 10380

This is the second year that our family has rented Seawind. The home is perfect for our family of four with two weeks and my elderly parents. Every year we have a little family reunion in the Campground area of Harwichport in August. My Dad is one of nine and his siblings and their families all rent places and stay for the week. The proximity to the beach is ideal. The air conditioning and laundry on-site are such a bonus. We love cooking on the grill and hanging out on the deck. The home is beautiful and really makes for a comfortable stay! We are looking forward to staying again next August!

The challenge I face, when 7 of the 10 core 2023 summer weeks are repeat guests, is I feel like I am imposing if I ask them for yet another review when there's already one posted below. And imposing on my guests is not what I feel I should do.
Each of the Phil W, Nicole S, Suzanne S, Liz L and Jen L families (see their vacationer reviews below) are back in 2023 for their 4th / 4th / 2nd (for them but 4th including their family members Tom P below) / 7th and 7th summers respectively, for between 1 and 2 weeks. And Phil W - having just finished his family's 2023 week, has already confirmed for their 5th stay next year.
In my opinion, a repeat booking is the ultimate compliment, and is the most valuable rating one can get - and also the one I strive for with every new guest as well.

Seawind is a great place to vacation! Just park your car and walk to both the beach and village. Of course, if you want to experience more of Cape Cod, you are poised to easily travel in any direction. There is so much to do. Read the listing; it really says it all! You will have everything you want and need, and Gavin is always available and attentive to make sure your stay is comfortable. Eight of us gathered from FL, MA, and NY to be together, and to be nearby other family and friends in the area. This was our first year at Seawind and it accommodated grandchildren and adults beautifully. We soon agreed that we would book two weeks in 2023 and we look forward to returning to continue our Harwich Port tradition.

We look forward to our stay at "Seawind" each year. When we turn into the driveway it is like getting home. The property is well maintained and ready for move in and start enjoying upon arrival. Our three little grandsons can't wait to get downstairs (just like at home) and play with the toys.

As adults we enjoy the spacious lot, peace and quiet of the the area, and walking distance to town or beach. Having chairs, and other amenities for the beach including the pull cart for transporting the necessary items to and from is great. The boys also enjoy riding in the wagon on walks or even around the back yard.

The back deck with ample seating and dining area is the place to be to enjoy an adult beverage and snacks, while keeping a watchful eye on the young ones playing, observing a worm or bug in the grass or chasing fireflies at dusk.

The property is located within a five minute walk to town and/or beach. If you desire to venture further than a comfortable walk, jump in the car and go, it is easy scenic.

We find the residents and merchants in the area are happy to be there and treat you like a friend rather than just another temporary vacationer.

If you need to contact Gavin he is easy to reach, listens and makes certain any reasonable concerns are taken care of.

There are reasonable guidelines for using the property which if followed assure a great experience, protect the property, owner, current guest and those who will be enjoying "Seawind" after you leave. Don't forget Gavin and his family may be the next occupants and they are there to relax and enjoy just as he hopes you and your family do.

All and all, the entire experience is there to be enjoyed by those lucky enough to have found and appreciate it.

We are already talking and looking forward to returning again in 2023.

We have stayed at Seawind for several years in a row and have found it to be the perfect location for our family. The property is unique for the area, as it is a short walk to the beach and into town, but is on a large lot with lots of privacy- big yard and deck and feels very secluded. Harwichport is a wonderful little town, and from Seawind, you can easily walk to plenty of restaurants and shops.

Gavin, the homeowner, is very communicative and thorough, to ensure that you have everything you need- beach chairs, grills, etc. In short, it is a perfect place to stay if you want to be close to the beach and town, but to also have some yard space and privacy.

This house was a wonderful find and a true home away from home! It is exactly as advertised: Well laid out with lots of space for a group, every amenity you could possibly need for a Cape vacation (my husband, the family chef, was delighted at the super well-equipped kitchen), and the rare combination of a nicely secluded location with a short walk to the beach.

Important for this year: we were very impressed with all of the precautions taken against possible spread of Covid-19 and felt completely safe in the week we were there. Many thanks to Gavin for being such a pleasure to deal with, so attentive to details and responsive to the few minor issues we noticed during our stay! We also really appreciate the commitment to sustainability and recycling, which was a nice plus. We would absolutely stay here again, and feel lucky that we had the opportunity to enjoy this great place.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is full of amenities and the layout makes it very comfortable. Our teenagers appreciated staying in the bedroom downstairs. This property has a large yard and parking which can be hard to find in this area. It's in an ideal location - easy walk to the beach and town. We enjoyed eating lunches together on the deck. Looking forward to future vacations here!

Memories are built on great experiences. For several years now Seawind has been the place where my family has felt comfortable developing our family summer memories. My wife, two daughter and four granddaughters.. before last summer men were not invited... so I paid and was allowed to come!

We have watched these girls grow up at the Cape. They are all still young 14, 9, 9 and 6. Cousins from Colorado and Massachusetts. What could be better than a safe, clean environment like Seawind to build lasting memories.

The house is very well appointed with all the amenities you are used to at you own home. The rooms are more than comfortable for a large family. The bedrooms have great windows ventilation and AC if needed. The backyard with its large deck is your own small sanctuary with lots of birds and trees. Great place for early morning coffee or 5:00 PM cocktails. Also, what could be better than a three minute walk to the beach!

The town is special, being able to enjoy the restaurants and many small gift shops makes the Cape experience very fun. One can not avoid the ice cream shops especially with four grandkids!

I know the owner takes great pride in maintaining the highest standards of care to make sure each guest is well taken care of,. from having a new grill to making sure you have great laundry facilities. If you have questions, help is just a quick telephone call or text away. I feel very confidant that even in these crazy times of a pandemic, the owner will do everything possible to ensure a safe environment.

We as a family looks forward to continuing our memory building in Harwich Port and at Seawind.

We have been been guests at the Seawind for the last 2 summers, 4 weeks in total. It’s a clean, modern, comfortable house that has many thoughtful details, all of which make it feel less like a rental, and more like a home.

Short walk (for 3 generations) to a nice swimming and walking beach. Quick walk to the center of town for restaurants, shops, and entertainment.

Gavin, the owner, is responsive, detail oriented and helpful. Brand new grills, efficient washer and dryer, fully-outfitted kitchen, and relaxing deck will make your stay easy and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as described and pictured. The location is fantastic; to be so close to the beach and town is very special. The house is well appointed and very well organized. Gavin was a pleasure to deal with. We very much appreciate his communication and organization. We hope to be back next year!

We loved spending our family vacation here and look forward to next!

Thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in July at Seawind in Harwichport ! Home is clean, organized and well appointed. Plenty of room for family, spacious private deck ( with two new grills ) for get togethers. Nice neighborhood feel, beach is an easy 5 minute stroll and village center within 10 minutes. Gavin, the owner, is very personable, thorough and organized. No issues with paperwork or procedures. We highly recommend Seawind to all for a relaxing visit to Harwichport.

Our experience at Seawind was absolutely lovely. This Cape Cod home is the perfect location to the beach as well as the shops & restaurants in Harwichport - you can walk to both! The home is set back off of the road a little bit so you get to enjoy privacy on the beautiful back deck. The bedrooms are set to accommodate any number of people. The home is functional for parties of every size (we had between 2-10 people throughout the week). They have thought of everything with grills, beach chairs, and puzzles it makes your arrival to the home so easy as you don't have to travel with these items. My husband and our friends cannot wait to return to this amazing place.

We just got back from Seawind and had a wonderful stay. The house is beautifully decorated and immaculate with everything you could want or need at your fingertips.......beach toys & chairs, cook & serve-ware, spices, sugar, coffee maker & filters, games & toys. We loved the sound system and the ability to hook up our iPod. We'd listen to music on the deck while grilling fresh seafood and enjoying a glass of wine while the kids put on a "talent" show in the spacious yard.

The house was the perfect size for us. We were two families with five children ranging in ages from 2-11. The neighborhood was adorable, quaint and quiet. The beach is about a two minute walk, the town a five minute walk. Any issues we had were quickly resolved by Gavin. I would definitely come back to Seawind for a relaxing, enjoyable vacation in Harwich Port.

We've been Harwichport regulars for the last 5 years, this being our first at Seawind. The house was perfect for our stay. Enough room, comfortable, some activities for the kids and a nice neighborhood. Not to mention how close it was to the beach. Everything that was advertised. We wouldn't hesitate to return and this house will be on our list on our next Harwichport vacation.

My family and I vacation in Harwich Port every summer and like to rent in the campground area. This house was perfect or us. Very easy walk to the beach. Well maintained home with plenty of amenities. A great yard where the kids can play outside at the end of a beach day. Easy walk into town to grab coffee in the morning or a drink at night. I would absolutely rent here again.

We are just back from our wonderful vacation at Seawind. The house was perfect, comfortable and convenient, and we loved the location and the town of Harwich Port. The house is indeed very well equipped and spacious, it was great to cook in the kitchen and enjoy family meals home from home, there is nothing more we could have asked for to make the stay better. So, thank you for sharing your lovely home!!

Hello Everyone,
My family stayed at Gavin's vacation rental in Harwich Port for a week of rest and relaxation. The house and setting are wonderful. The house has everything you need to accommodate two families with small children. The kitchen and living area was very bright and has everything you need to accommodate a lobster boil or small dinner party. You are only a few blocks to the beach. Wonderful house and fantastic vacation spot!

The best review is a repeat guest! Proud that half our season last year in 2011 - and again this year in 2012 is going to be rented by guests who have stayed with us prior summers!

"The listing was accurate, everything we needed was there. It is a very well equipped house. The house is well kept, clean, good repair, the beds were very comfortable. While the house was lovely, the Deck and Garden were magnificent, a lovely location. No hesitation renting this property again.

"I grew up in Boston and love the Harwichport area. I now live in Dallas, and have taken my family to Seawind every summer since 2006 and my 3 boys LOVE the house, with a great play space for them in the basement, and a huge yard for wiffle ball games. The best part is the short walk to both the beach and town, to avoid the hassle of parking at either place... The house is very well equipped for a family (including hi speed internet access for Dad), a great deck for eating most meals outside, AC in the bedrooms for those few hot nights each summer, and a kitchen that makes cooking for a big group a breeze.

"What a wonderful family holiday we had at Seawind. Even though it was October the weather was great and we spent every day exploring the Cape, by foot, car and boat. The house was perfect--large enough to hold our group, and beautifully maintained. We alternated barbeque dinners on the deck with culinary outings at some great local restaurants. Every day we'd visit a local town and have lunch at one of the delightful Cape restaurants. We are definitely looking forward to returning as soon as possible." Five Stars

We enjoyed Seawind in August, 2007 with our two kids who were 9 and 11 at the time. The place is very clean, spacious (we didn't even use all of the bedrooms..) well appointed and very well maintained with plenty of space to play outdoors. We found everything we needed in the kitchen (I think the cork screw and a bottle of wine was waiting for us on the counter!) and pleasantly surprised with the BBQ - which was not only clean, but also worked very well (we used it every night). The local area is also very nice -- it was a short walk to some local stores for everything from general sundry items to ice cream, local fish and groceries. The beach - which was clean and full of things for the kids to "collect" - was also a short stroll around the corner and down the street. We had one small issue while on the property and Gavin was a quick phone call away to get it resolved. We would definitely rent the place again should our travels take us back to the Cape Cod area! Rated 5 out of 5.
