Pottery Barn BLISS! Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Bikes, Kayaks & More!
Harwich Vacation Rental - ID 18341

My family and I had the opportunity to stay at this private home for our recent Cape Cod vacation and were completely surprised by this home. The pictures do not do it justice. It is quite spacious, impeccably decorated, absolutely immaculate, and every room is completely comfortable! We loved all the special touches the owners Rhonda & Mark have put into the home....from the welcome gift bag to the completely functional kitchen with everything one needs to prepare a large meal, to the grill/ dining area on the deck, to the picturesque living room with the TV and all the movies available for viewing, the four unique bedrooms each with a different theme with magazines and reading material, the AWESOME outdoor shower, the furnished basement with an entertainment center and air hockey table everything you can think of for a vacation home has been provided.

The grounds are impeccable with gorgeous hydrangeas everywhere and multiple seating vignettes around the property, a super comfy hammock for afternoon naps in the private backyard or a soak in the hot tub. The fire pit was nice at night and the kids loved making s'mores! The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and close enough to everything that one can either ride their bike or drive to the center of town and beaches. The owners have also taken great care to stock the garage with everything a large family could possible need to spend time at the beach or even just outdoors.

Rhonda & Mark are warm, friendly, and the entire process was so easy and comfortable! This was our first time seeking a vacation rental and it couldn't have gone more smoothly or with nicer people. This may be a Cape Cod vacation rental but the owners conduct themselves and your experience like a private resort...we will definitely be coming back again!!!!! show more show less

Beautiful home! EVERYTHING you need and more to be incredibly comfortable! Incredibly clean, well furnished and super location! Super quaint neighborhood and so close to so many great spots to visit and explore! We made wonderful family memories with so little to worry about because this home is truly a home away from home! It was so nice to arrive and have so much available to us and had to literally just bring our clothes! Highly recommend renting this home! Couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot! show more show less

We have always stayed on the Outer Cape before; this was our first time staying on Nantucket Sound. We could not have asked for a better house to stay in. All amenities were as described in the listing, the location was great, and Rhonda was amazingly responsive to any questions we had, no matter how minor. I ended up having to do a whole bunch of work while on vacation, so having a solid and fast internet connection was a lifesaver. The backyard really is amazing - we practically lived out there anytime we were at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook every meal we thought of. All in all a great place. Next time we stay on the Sound, we will definitely be back here! show more show less

This house is so good we came back again. Improbably, the house was even better than last year, with the installation of AC and some nice new canoes in the garage. This is a very comfortable home where the owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to make things as nice as possible for their guests - as if they have put themselves in the shoes of their guests and asked themselves, what would really want to make the perfect vacation? The house is very clean, well maintained, well-equipped and feels just like home. We loved the hot tub, the fire pit, the canoes, the outside grill, the bikes and the lovely garden. The outside shower was brilliant after a hard day at the beach!

Harwich is a great place to visit and we found plenty to do. We enjoyed the bike trail, swimming in ponds, visiting our favourite beach at Red River. The weather was mostly great, except for the surprising arrival of very large hailstones in a storm one night. The only disappointment was when we turned up at A and W's diner for the Wednesday evening classic car meet to find it had been cancelled (we went last year - amazing!). Lots of places to eat great ice cream. Most of all, though, the house really made the stay for us - so relaxing, peaceful and completely worry-free. Putting the key in the lock when we arrived felt like coming home. We shall return! show more show less

We were fortunate to rent the Harwich home for five weeks this summer and couldn't have been happier with selecting this home. The owners thought of everything to make our stay perfect for a family of six. The garage is filled with every toy needed for the beach and playing in the yard after a long day. Our children were able to skateboard and ride their bikes on the street and felt very safe. The backyard is where we spent most of our time after returning from the beach. The jacuzzi and fire pit provided us with hours of family fun.

I can't say enough about Rhonda and Mark. They were timely on any of our concerns and made us feel at home in their beautiful home. They took great pride in making their home perfect for renting especially considering we rented for five weeks. We loved Harwich so much, we purchased a home!!!! If we didn't, we would have put a deposit on the summer of 2015 on the "Leap of Faith." show more show less

We spent a week here with family in mid August 2013. The property was a little more expensive than we typically pay, but the property was well worth it. There are so many amenities with the house it's hard to think of anything extra you would need. The bikes were great fun, all the beach gear was great, board games, the hot tub is fantastic, and the huge deck for family breakfast was wonderful. I'd highly recommend to anyone thinking of renting in the Harwich area who is looking for a high end experience on a quiet block. Owners were very responsive to all our questions and requests. Couldn't have gone any better, terrific experience. show more show less

From the minute we arrived we felt right at home in a quiet neighborhood and private lot, a beautifully landscape yard with large fire pit we enjoyed at night. The house boasts a new kitchen, two new bathrooms, a large new deck with awesome hot tub and weber grill. Many upgrades to this house, all meticulously done. A garage full of good beach stuff and quality bicycles. The 4 bedrooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. The location for us was great, one minute to Route 6 at exit 10, very central to all our favorite beaches from Provincetown to National Sea Shore, Coast Guard Beach, Chapin, Mayflower, West Dennis, Kalmus, etc. Love the outdoor shower - a must for beach goers. Much thought, time and money was put into this house, the best house we have had on Cape Cod. show more show less

We had a wonderful week and everything was perfect. House is very nice and spacious. We spent most of the time outside enjoying the deck and garden and had all our dinners outside. It is a quiet area and well located not too close or too far from service places. 5 minutes to bicycle path and close to Bank St Beach. One of the best rentals I made over last 10 years.

We had a fabulous week at “Leap of Faith” in Harwich this year. Booking accommodation online is always slightly worrying but it was such a relief and a pleasure to arrive at this property, which is in a nice, very quiet neighbourhood. The house itself was impeccably clean and fresh, and stuffed with good quality equipment to meet our every expectation. There were bikes and everything we could possibly need for the beach. The yard was private and well-maintained and our family really enjoyed the hammock, tub, outside shower, firepit and the grill. Everything was just so comfortable.

Nowhere we wanted to go was too far away. We love going to Red River Beach (about 10 minutes’ drive away) and to Lighthouse Beach in Chatham. We enjoyed kayaking on Swan Pond River and we loved biking on the Rail Trail, which is nearby.

We reckon that we have stayed in about 10 houses in the US during the past 6 years (including 7 or 8 on Cape Cod) and this house is one of the best we have stayed in. We are hoping to come back next year. Mark and Rhonda were really helpful throughout the process and have obviously worked hard to provide a very happy and high quality vacation home.

I want to thank Rhonda and Mark for allowing our family to stay in their Cape Cod home. We truly had a wonderful experience and from the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The recently updated kitchen with granite counters, all new baths, living room with flat screen TV and numerous DVD's to choose from as well as the comfortable beds made the vacation one we won't forget. We had Smores around the firepit, relaxing time on the hammock and a couple of good games with the air hockey table. A day at the beach was no problem with the supplied Tommy Bahama beach chairs, cooler and boogie boards, not to mention less packing for us to do! All the amenities made it a pleasure to come home from our days activities and plan for dinner. Even after a day at the beach, it was nice to have the kids clean up in the new outdoor shower before entering the home all sandy. The bike trail was convenient and the selection of bikes and helmets made it easy to wake up and go for a ride. Being a big Dunkin Donuts family, that was also a pleasant surprise to find so close to the home. We truly enjoyed our vacation in this Cape Cod home and would stay here again!
