Description

Description

Upon entering the grounds, what immediately comes to mind is ''Oasis,'' a private setting overlooking the pond. Truly a unique and captivating setting that complements home and nature. Our cape-style ranch sits on an acre of land at the end of a cul-de-sac.

Inside the house, you will find the dining area with double full glass sliding doors overlooking Flax Pond, inviting nature in. Continue enjoying the view from the kitchen window, with a modern stove, refrigerator and microwave. The kitchen has been fully stocked with everything you need! The refrigerator has purified water, an ice maker, and a special drawer for cooling your wine. Comfortable living area with plenty of seating, large screen television, and a selection of games and puzzles for your enjoyment.

The Smart home includes television with YouTube TV service that provides you with access to broadcast and cable channels. You can also log in to get access to your own accounts, such as Netflix. Other Smart features include Alexa, Smart lighting, and Smart entry locks.

Wake up in the master bedroom and the first thing you will see is the beauty of the pond. Master bedroom includes a queen-size bed and a master bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a twin/full combination. There is also a bookcase stocked with books for your reading pleasure. The third bedroom has a queen size bed with a desk/workspace in case you need to do any work while you are here. There is a second bathroom in the hallway with a tub and shower, as well as a full size washer and dryer.

Relax on the porch with your morning coffee overlooking the pond. Plan your day with easy access to many beaches and freshwater ponds. Pleasant Road Beach and Red River Beach are close by, as well as beautiful Sand Pond. Rent some bicycles and take a ride on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or just take a walk to the trail from our home. We are also in close proximity to golf courses and conservation areas. The town of Harwich has many restaurants and shops, and you can even do some thrift shopping if that is what you enjoy! Or, just enjoy a calm afternoon on the deck, or dinner with family and friends. The deck has a comfortable table with seating for six.

Other amenities include an electric awning over deck, gas grill, close proximity to restaurants, ice cream shops and nearby shopping.

It is our goal to make you want to come back to our home, and we are committed to making your stay an enjoyable one!

A perfect place to make memories!

    Beautiful Home!
    August 2025

    We had a fantastic stay at Peter and Beth's home! The house was very clean, was decorated nicely, was well-equipped with anything you could possibly need and very comfortable! The back deck was such a treat and so relaxing with the view of Flax Pond. Peter and Beth were very easy to work with and one of the best homeowner's we have rented from. They were available for any questions, did not bother us during our stay and made the whole process easy.

    Beautiful lakefront oasis
    August 2025

    Peter and Beth have provided so much to make your stay perfect; a perfectly outfitted kitchen, games & books, the thickest welcome book full of history, maps, and ideas for your days. Lastly - the deck. Overlooking a beautiful pond. Includes binoculars and an Osprey nest to spy on. As a bonus, it is dark enough on the street side to see meteor showers if the are available over the Cape!

    Lovely home away from home
    August 2025

    This is a lovely home. Everything was immaculate! It felt warm and cozy and the view of the pond out back was beautiful. It is on a quiet street where you rarely hear the neighbors. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home. We have been coming to the Cape for many years and this is one of the nicest homes we have ever stayed in.

    Great Stay!
    July 2024

    This was such a great rental to stay in! We loved the gorgeous view of Flax Pond and listening to all of the birds in the morning. The house had a great location, was very clean, and was maintained very well. It had everything we needed and we would highly recommend it. We had such a lovely time staying in this house!

    Amazing home for a perfect vacation!
    September 2023

    We absolutely loved our stay at this house! We felt like we were home, it is so lovingly decorated, modern and comfy. Every amenity you could need and detailed welcome information (the basket was a first for us and greatly appreciated and thoughtful) was available. The pond views from almost every room, especially the porch, provided instant relaxation. It truly is an oasis. The outdoor shower was new and was thoroughly enjoyable (even in the rain). The spot is private but just minutes from every activity. Thank you Peter and Beth for sharing your home, we are already planning for next year! show more show less

    Really nice Cape rental
    August 2023

    My family has been coming to the Cape for 65! years, and each year someone always says ""If we had bought a place back then…" But then we might not have gotten to know the Cape as well, having stayed everywhere from North Truro to Bass River and everywhere in between. By now we know good rental homes and nice locations when we find them, and this one was one of the nicer rentals we have had the pleasure to stay at. We prefer Mid-Cape/Lower Cape for being central to everything, and Harwich fits the bill. Very nice neighborhood, and on a cul-de-sac was a bonus. No through traffic. Flax Pond was beautiful, and we spotted an Osprey nest across the pond and enjoyed watching them fish (which unfortunately was our only (mild) complaint.) I was unable to do any fishing, as the shoreline did not lend itself to fishing. The solar panels were unusual to find at the Cape. Would have liked to have seen the system. All in all, a most enjoyable stay. I note that the Internet can sometimes be deceptive, but in this instance what you see online is quite accurate. We hope our future schedule will permit us a return visit. show more show less

    Pond side retreat
    July 2023

    This home was really comfortable with views of the peaceful pond from most rooms. The kitchen was updated and well stocked. The house is bright and well decorated in a beach motif. Outdoor shower was brand new and we used it almost exclusively. Highly recommended. Owners are incredibly organized, check in was z as breeze!

    Great Spot!
    July 2023

    The house hit all the right notes. It is spotless, quiet, and comfortable. It is close to all of the Cape's area amenities but away from the bustle of the thundering herd of vacation traffic. The owners were very gracious and communicative with all aspects of our stay. I would rent with them again in a heartbeat

    Great stay
    August 2022

    The house and the pond are beautiful. The house has all the amenities that you would want. Great kitchen, tv room, garage, grill, chairs our back to gaze over the pond etc. The location of the house is also great as it is really close to the rail trail, pond and beaches. We had a wonderful stay. We didn't swim in the pond because we didn't notice any swimmers or activity on the pond and the entrance was around the corner.

    Wonderful home and hosts
    August 2022

    My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Beth's and Paul's lovely house. We loved having breakfast on the deck with a beautiful view of Flax Pond and all the wildlife. The house was very clean, organized and many essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent) were provided. Thank you Beth and Paul for being wonderful hosts!

    Beth and Peter are future washashores to Cape Cod. A teacher and an Engineer, we live in New Jersey and rent our Cape house to you in the prime seasons.

    What is special about this property?
    Our home is very calm and relaxing. We love it for the serenity and the natural beauty.

    What is special about your town?
    We are directly on Flax Pond, a fifteen acre pond with no public access. Just the eleven residents of Cranberry shores have access to the pond. We see waterfowl daily, and just our neighbors on the pond.
