Harwich Port 5BR w/AC Walk to Beach, Town & Wychmere Club
Harwich Port Vacation Rental - ID 28642

We've rented a number of vacation houses over the years, and haven't always been pleased. Quite often the house isn't as roomy as it appears in pictures, it has rooms that are locked, the a/c isn't working well, or it lacks essential products which means we're either lugging half our stuff from home or buying it once we arrive. Because we live close to Cape Cod, I drove out to look at potential houses in person last year and ultimately picked this one. I knew it would be the perfect choice and was hoping that everyone in our family (two parents, four grown children, one teen who brought a friend and one toddler) would agree. After staying here for a week, I can say that the answer is a resounding and unanimous yes -- it was an absolutely wonderful house and provided us with a memorable, relaxing family vacation week.

The house is large with lots of different gathering rooms. When my husband and I wanted to sit and relax with some coffee or tea, we would enjoy the use of the small front dining area. When we wanted to have a couple of large family dinners, we sat in the large dining sun room. We played board games in the family room and the baby had full use of the play room, which was fantastic. It was full of toys and ensured that they didn't get scattered all over the rest of the house. The porch of the house was another gathering place for us because the yard is fenced in and we could let our grandson run around without worrying about traffic. The shed is full of yard toys (a slide, toddler cars, balls) as well as beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. No need to bring anything from home because it has it all! Upstairs, the house is fully air-conditioned, and the cool air drifted downstairs (which has room units).

We never were uncomfortable or hot despite the Cape's heat that particular week. We especially liked having two staircases to the house because it made the quick run upstairs so much easier for everyone. Outdoors, there is a patio with plenty of seating and a fire pit and grill and a large, well-manicured yard. All the instructions for the house are in a binder, making it easy to enjoy your time there without struggling to know how to do something. TVs are in every bedroom and the family room, and there are instructions about how to use them. Even the light switches are labeled. Finally, the house is in an ideal location. It is a short walk to the main street where you will find restaurants, shops, ice cream and a beer garden full of family games and beverages for all, and its nearest beach is Bank Street Beach, which is our favorite beach on the Cape. We are so thankful that we chose this house for our week on the Cape. show more show less

We had an amazing couples weekend away! The house was exactly what we expected and very clean and inviting. All the beds were super comfortable and we especially enjoyed the spacious yard and fire pit both evenings that we were there. It was so great to be so close to town that one of the nights we walked to Ember at the end of Bank Street for dinner. Jillian and Grant were very easy to work with and we hope to return next year!

We had a great week in Harwichport while staying at this beautiful home. Although we traveled to nearby Chatham one day, we thoroughly enjoyed spending most of our time at the home, in the beautiful backyard, or on the back porch. It felt like home. Being able to walk into town was great too. We had oysters and pizza and spent an evening at the local beer garden, all a short walk to the house. The nearby beach was quiet and clean. It really was superb and I look forward to a return trip! Thank you so much Jillian!

The home is lovely, spacious and welcoming. The property as a whole offers privacy and space for the children to play. We found the kitchen to be well stocked for our at home meals. The bedrooms are very comfortable and their locations in the house are perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable. The stars at night were unreal, you can actually see the milky way! We were close to restaurants, shops and the chamber of commerce which provides helpful vacation info. The beach was great, never too crowded and just a short drive or walk if you don't need to bring necessities for children. The proximity to other towns on the cape made for easy exploring. Our vacation was fantastic. A very big thanks to Jillian who was very easy to work with:)
