Charming South Harwich Cape with Ocean View & Walk 2 Beach
So. Harwich/So. Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 5382

Always nice to update a previous review! This remains our favorite place to relax at the Cape. The house continues to be updated by the owner and is a place we feel "at home" within minutes of arrival. The location is central and convenient to many locations on the Cape. The neighborhood is quiet and only a few minutes stroll to the Red River Beach where we take our dog every day we're there.

The kitchen is the perfect place to cook for just a couple people, or a small crowd. The owner is tremendous to work with and although we've never met in person, we are treated like family. I look forward to coming here each year, and count the days until I return! ( I wish I could give more stars than the ones provided, but you'll just have to take my word for it until YOU visit.)

I wrote a thank you to Dennis for allowing us the opportunity to rent his home … thought I'd share in my review as this sums up our vacation in this home … “My family had a great time in your beautiful home with an awesome location and lots of space for us!”

This home is on a quiet side street. Red River Beach is a short stroll and the beach provides a convenient hot dog truck for lunch, daily visits from the ice cream man (which was a highlight for our grandson) and clean restrooms. It’s a great area for walking and/or running. Having the beach pass made it real easy to bring all the chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc for a full day of fun.

We thoroughly enjoyed the very large deck with picnic table and it’s great ambience in the evening with twinkling lights for relaxing. The home provides all the conveniences of home plus more.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the fact that Dennis was a pleasure to rent from. He has thought of everything for this home. Dennis made the process easy and was quick to respond to emails.

This house is a hidden gem! The location is ideal. The house is cared for and just so clean. We did not want for anything. The owner is extremely responsive and just so welcoming. We have already booked the house for next year. There is just so much attention to detail. The deck was our absolute favorite!

This home is lovely. It is clean, well furnished, well stocked with bedding, towels, kitchen and dining needs, and nature just out the door. A short walk brings you to a beautiful beach. Dennis was very easy to work with and was very accommodating with my rental needs. I would recommend Dennis and his home to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet neighborhood near the beach.

Great place to stay that is a short walk to the beach. The owner provides a beach parking pass as well as towels and bed linens.

Great house that is within walking distance to the beach, but still offers a private vacation retreat. The big L-shaped deck was perfect for hosting dinner, drinks, and general relaxation.

Linens & beach towels/chairs were provided which made life easier. Overall it was a no hassle house.

Great location, great experience, we would definitely return.

Our family of 5 has rented this house for a week (or more) each summer for 9 years. We love the location between Harwich and Chatham. It is walking distance to a wonderful beach. The house is well maintained and provides a nice home base to our Cape Cod activities. We also appreciate the ease of communication with the owner.

We stayed at this cottage for the first time this summer. It’s a short walk to Red River Beach. Dennis is a very good host. Easy to get a hold of, very responsive.

The cottage is great. It’s clean, well kept, big rooms, great deck, great sun room.
Nice basement with small pool table. The best outside shower I've seen and ..... Everything works!

One thing to consider is there is not a lot of outdoor area for young kids to play in. There’s a small front yard and a big back yard, but it's down a hill and woodsie. However the street is quiet and the beach is close

I would recommend this cottage to friends and hope we can stay there again.

From the initial conversation with Dennis until our time ran out, this experience in the Cape Cod Home with Ocean View was easy, leisure-filled and the way a vacation should be! The space was serene and self contained, but accessible to many Cape treasures that supplement the offering. Tons of nature, beauty, light, sounds. Personal favorites - waking up to the sun and sounds of nature and spending seven days with the option to shower outdoors. Cooked, worked from the awesome deck, again with the sun, sounds and ocean view, met the neighbors, and all in - had an amazing time. Thank you Dennis and team for sharing your property and being a great host!

THIS IS THE PERFECT HOUSE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SPACE AND LOCATION. YOU CAN WALK TO THE BEACH OR DRIVE TO TOWN. THE DECK IS GREAT TO EAT DINNER OR JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE PEACE AND QUIET. THE OWNER WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH - ALWAYS GOT BACK TO ME. WE WILL BE BACK FOR SURE. LOVE THE HOUSE.

We rented this place for a spring getaway and were not disappointed! The house is beautiful, close to the beach, and in a lovely area of the Cape! The town was beautiful. The house was fully equipped with everything one would need! The owner was extremely friendly, quick to respond to emails, and full of information about the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend anyone from a couple of friends to a family with children to stay here!

We returned to this location to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The beach is close by for morning walks and just minutes from our favorite restaurants and shops. We look forward to future visits. The owner is a pleasure to work with.

We have stayed at the house each Fall for years and each year it just gets better. There is plenty of room to spread out, the beach is just a few minutes walk away, and you are close to a lot of fun things to do. The house is comfortable and well-maintained and there's a nice yard for the dogs to play. The owner and his family have been great to deal with over the years.

My family had a wonderful week at this property. The beach is very close to the house, making it super easy to go back and forth during the day with the little ones. And I think that Red River Beach is one of the nicer beaches on the ocean side. Even when the parking lot is full, the beach doesn't feel full. The house has a nice layout...and the back deck is the real gem!! You can even see the ocean from the deck! The owner is very nice and easy to deal with and made our family vacation wonderful! I highly recommend this property...and aside from the location of the beach, the house is so centrally located to many fun things to do around the area.

We spent a fantastic 5 days on the Cape at this property. It is located within walking distance to a great beach and within a short driving distance to local towns. The property was spacious and had everything we needed. As vacationers from Ireland, the main reason I chose this property was the fantastic advice and help which I received from the owner - everything was made easy for us from booking the house, to advice on local attractions and where to eat! At any stage before and during our stay, all our questions were answered quickly and with accurate and valuable advice. A big thank you!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this location. We chose this property after our initial communication with the owner. He made the rental process easy and always addressed questions and concerns promptly and in a professional manner.
It was a quiet neighborhood location with a short walk to the beach that overlooked the Cape's natural beauty. We got a true feel for what living on the Cape is.
The house is quaint and still has some older features with new updates being added.
After many trips to the Cape this property was perfect for us. It was a positive experience from the beginning to end which gave us a most enjoyable vacation. We hope to return as often as possible.

We had a fantastic two weeks at this house in July. It is close to Red River beach which is great for the children, warm water, gentle waves, big sandy beach. The house is very spacious, rural, quiet setting had everything we needed. The owner left a list of suggestions for things to do and places to eat which was really useful and included great cafes and restaurants nearby. It is really close to Harwichport and Chatham which both have loads going on. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back.

If you are looking for a quiet family vacation within easy walking distance to the beach, this is the place. The central Cape Cod location is 3 blocks from Red River Beach and approximately equidistant from Harwich Port and South Chatham. We chose this general location because it enabled day trips of roughly equal duration to both ends of the Cape (30 minutes to Hyannis Port and 45 minutes to Provincetown). Also, we used the nearby Ferry at Harwich Port for a day trip to Nantucket.

When not out and about, our party of 5 spent most of the time on either the glassed-in porch or the outside deck. The kitchen and dining area enabled us to reduce restaurant bills. Three upstairs bedrooms gave everyone plenty of privacy. And the basement washer/dryer meant we didn't have to pack as much. Basically, time at this property is pretty much like being at home.

Highly recommended for families seeking a quiet mid-summer vacation at the beach with occasional forays into the hustle and bustle of P-town and other Cape Cod hot spots.
