Sand Between Your Toes at Drangea Cottage Bank Street Beach
Harwich Port at Bank St. Beach Vacation Rental - ID 9736

Even before I started my trip, I knew it was going to be a wonderful one as the owner Ruth became my friend before I even got there. When I did arrive, she greeted me with a :-) and a nice hug and showed me the lovely cottage that her father had built back in the 40s.

The charming little cottage and the short walk to a stunning beach provided the wonderful break from my world that I needed. I spent the first three days by myself and the last three days with a good friend from Florida who had just weathered the hurricane. We had perfect weather the entire time, and we're so grateful to have such a perfect location to enjoy everything around us

I can't say enough about Ruth and Bob… They were the perfect host and hostess, and I hope to see them again soon

We have never rented a Cape cottage that was cleaned, furnished and supplied with more care and thoughtfulness than Drangea cottage. Its beautiful new bathroom, cable TV complete with the Red Sox, and an opportunity to try a Keurig machine all contributed to our wonderful week steps from beautiful Bank Street Beach.

We have been staying in the area for years and have always admired the Drangea Cottage. As our family grew, the neighboring Inns no longer worked for us so we pulled the trigger and contacted Ruth! Ruth was amazing from the beginning all the way to our departure! What an amazing family, and it was an honor that they opened their family's cottage to us! The distance to Bank Street Beach is unbeatable, but you still have everything from town only a quick stroll away. The cottage itself has everything you need and with two little ones we definitely put that washer & dryer to work! We are counting down the days for next summer!

It doesn't get any better than Drangea cottage! Cozy cottage close to downtown & steps away from Bank Street Beach. The cottage has everything one needs for a comfortable, relaxing stay oceanside; linens, towels, hair dryer, Keurig, wifi, etc. Ruth & Bob were gracious hosts!!!

This was our second year at Drangea Cottage and we LOVED it even more than last year! It was just a quick walk to beautiful Bank Street Beach or downtown for shopping and meals. The quaint cottage is immaculate, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything you need for a perfect beach week. We love to play card games in the evening, so didn't turn the TV on, but spending time on the screened porch or in the backyard was heaven. The owners are very friendly and made sure that our vacation was perfect. We have already made plans for next summer! This is a perfect location for a Cape Cod beach vacation!!

We have been coming to Harwich Port for nearly 40 years, but this was our first time at Drangea Cottage. What a wonderful cottage! The location is great - 2 doors down to Bank Street Beach, and 2 blocks up to shops and great restaurants. Bob and Ruth have thought of everything, the cottage is spotless, beautifully decorated and has everything you need, from dish detergent to corkscrew, from Saran Wrap to champagne glasses. Extra pillows and blankets, extra toilet paper, a toaster, microwave, oven, fridge, choice of K-Cup or Brewed coffee machines, free wifi, beach chairs, even board games! The bed linens and towels are pristine, and the beds are comfortable.

The patio is a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean view (and a friendly bunny who dines on Ruth's impatiens), The front porch is a sunny, cozy retreat, great place for a cup of coffee as you watch the people heading to and from the beach. Bob and Ruth are delightful - friendly without being intrusive. We are so pleased with everything about our stay. We look forward to coming back to Drangea Cottage soon! Thanks for everything Bob and Ruth!

Perfect cottage for a vacation at the Beach! A short walk out the front door makes back and forth to the beach a cinch! Short walk to town makes dining out easy if you wish but meals, cooked at home in Drangea Cottage are great fun as well. Grilling and eating on the patio with a view of the water is lovely! Drangea Cottage is charming, immaculate and very comfortably accommodates a family of 4. Bobby, Blanca and Ruth are just lovely and work very hard to ensure a good time is had by all! We have found our vacation home away from home!

My sister and I have been lucky enough to come to Drangea Cottage for over 30 years now and can't imagine not spending summer vacation here. The location can't be beat - just 100 steps to the clean sands of Bank Street Beach. Leave your chair and run back to the cottage for lunch! We also love that so many stores and restaurants are within walkable distance - even Sundae School Ice Cream. The cottage is well-maintained and Ruth, Bob and Blanca are so warm and friendly that you feel like family. We SO hate to leave but are already looking forward to next year.

We have visited the Drangea Cottage for 8 years and will continue to return. The cottage is adorable with a perfect location for everything. The beach that is steps away is beautiful with great water for swimming. The walk up town is pleasant and there are many shops and restaurants to chose from. The patio out back is so pleasant we sometimes decide to stay there and relax instead of running around like we usually do. Our hosts, Ruth and Bob, treat us like we're family, making sure that we are comfortable and have everything we need. Our niece usually joins us but there are occasions that we sneak some additional time there by ourselves. Everything is perfect for a contented relaxed vacation with everything you need close by. Heaven on the Cape!

This location and the cottage itself were absolutely great. Right near an incredible sandy beach and yet quiet and peaceful. Cottage was immaculate and well maintained. Just the right size for two adults and one or two kids. This was our first vacation with our almost three year old boy and he was excited the entire week. Harwichport is right in the center of great destinations. Went to Chatham and Ptown. Harwichport has a town wide fair on Wednesday nights with all kinds of activities. Cottage had everything we needed included outdoor shower and grill with privacy; washer and dryer; the right size for what you need. Ruth and Bob, the owners, were friendly and available, making sure we had everything we needed, including flowers and fresh fruit upon arrival. Very nice people and made the family feel quite welcome. Able to roll right out of bed and onto the beach without a long walk or fighting traffic. The perfect way to have a week where you can choose to whatever you want.

My wife and I have stayed at this wonderful beach cottage three times along with our two teenage daughters. We've been vacationing on the Cape for 23 years and enjoy our stay here above all others. Ruth and Bobby are the most gracious hosts. Location! location! location! You can't beat it, a stone's throw from the beach and a five minute walk to town. All amenities you could possibly need are in this meticulously maintained home away from home. Looking forward for our fourth return. Thank you, Ruth and Bobby!

We three retired sisters from TX, MI, and CT chose Drangea Cottage this summer for our annual week on Cape Cod. We specifically wanted lots of beach time without getting in the car over and over. Ruth and Bobby's family cottage was the perfect spot. We walked downtown, we walked the beach, we used the outdoor shower, we ate outside on the patio table, and found everything we needed for a wonderful week at the beach.

The cottage is extremely clean, well-decorated, well-supplied, and as cozy as can be. Ruth and Bobby have thought of everything from the fresh flowers on the kitchen table to a bowl of fresh fruit for us to enjoy all week. They even included a washer and dryer and a bathroom nightlight.
We have already booked a week for the summer of 2017. We hated to leave and we can't wait to come back again. If you stay at this cottage, you will have the best beach vacation ever. The location is Harwich Port is perfect!

The first year we came to Harwich, I remember seeing the Drangea Cottage and wondering who was lucky enough to stay there. This year my husband and I were lucky enough to do it. Enjoyed sunrise, sunsets and night time walks on the beach and of course swimming daily in the Sound. Thank you Ruth, Bob & Blanca xxxooo

From Drangea Cottage Guest Book

The weather is always perfect, because there always seems to be something to do. Watching the tides roll in, then out, gives us "fuel" for another year of living, until we are able to return.

From Drangea Cottage Guest Book

After 35 (?) years of coming here to our "home away from home" we continue to discover new things to do & lovely places to see. How can 2 wks. be over already? Again, Thank you Bob, Ruth & Blanca, for your warm & friendly hospitality. It's especially wonderful to be able to share memories & stories of our parents.

From Drangea Cottage Guest Book

The cottage is charming and very comfortable. Hospitality of Bob, Ruth & Blanca could not be beat. It's like staying at a family cottage. Enjoying the beauty of this feast for the eyes. Peace for the soul. Certainly found some inspiration for painting when I get home. Sorry and sad to leave. Hope we are blessed to return. Thank you.

Attended a wedding at Chatham Bars Inn. Biked, Golfed and visited The Kennedy Museum. As you know, we loved our stay at Drangea Cottage. We have never stayed in a more immaculate, well stocked place. The location is perfect. Quiet moments. We enjoyed early morning coffee at the beach and some wine, while sitting in the lifeguard's chair and enjoying the beautiful sunset. You and your brother are charming and a pleasure to meet. Thank you for a delightful week. Hope our paths cross again. Your continued kindness only reinforces the popularity of Drangea Cottage

We showed 2 15 year old girls places we enjoyed in the past. They had a happy time re-living our happy memories. Meeting Ruth & Bob mattered !! We loved their glimpses in to the past. Thank you for sharing your family home and cottage with us. You have made lasting memoires for us. We extended our stay 5 extra days. "The guest that just didn't want to leave". Hope to see you next year.

So glad to come back. Chilled at "our beach", cooked our own lobsters, visited Nantucket, Chatham and P-Town. We left the Cape with heavy hearts and great memories of another too short a week in your lovely cottage by the sea. We feel so very lucky to have found you and Drangea Cottage. Hoping and hoping we will again be back.

Thank you for a wonderful vacation. We loved the cottage, the location and the welcoming atmosphere you have created at Cape Cod. We truly enjoyed the house, food, beaches, bike trails and everything the Cape has to offer.

From Drangea Cottage Guest Book.

We visited a lot of places on Cape Cod, but concluded that we had found the best place on the Cape here in Drangea Cottage. Charming house, beautiful beach and very nice people. If we get back to America will definitely contact you.
