Our experience was not typical b/c ,for three days after our arrival, we faced a period of intense heat; a tornado directly hit Harwich; a tree fell on our rental car and buried it;, and we (and much of Harwich) had no electricity for about 40 hours. Lisa, the owner, was fantastic throughout and an excellent host and moved mountains to get the tree cleared. She stayed in touch with us constantly during this difficult time to be on a vacation. We greatly appreciated, and respected, her attentiveness. Three caveats to be aware of. which may not be of importance to you. First, the stairs to the upstairs two bedrooms and bath are quite steep and getting large suitcases up them is not an easy task. We kept ours in the living room. and ferried clothes up to the dressers in the bedroom. Second, at least as of now, the downstairs bedroom has no a/c, and was exceptionally hot even with the provided strong fan during the not typical hot streak we encountered during the days before the tornado and then for the two nights we hae no electricity. I doubt that this would be a problem during most of the more typical Cape Cod summer. Finally, the washer and dryer are in the basement. Overall, and notwithstanding the above, the house is charming in style and furnishings (apart from the steep stairs....) and is quite comfortable., the extras in the house and in the garage and yard are there for you to use, and, perhaps most important, your host is charming and was readily available to us by text, email, and phone, and was committed to making our stay as perfect as it could be during a very trying time . The house is much better equipped than most of the rentals we have had through VRBO or their competitors. The kitchen is well stocked with good cooking pots, pans, and appliances, and has the full array of utensils that most people have at home but are seldom in a house available for rent. Plus, there is an outside BBQ and hammack on the patio and good lawn furniture. All in all, this is a house worth considering to rent, though I suggest you perhaps avoid tornado season....

Our stay was everything we expected and more! The location in Harwich is minutes to the beach, shopping, browsing, and restaurants. The house is a beautiful, comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Our family hated to leave when our week was up. We felt at home and hope to return someday.

We spent the week at the house as our home base and enjoyed it incredibly. Plenty of room, plenty of amenities, and conveniently located! The outdoor shower was pure magic! Perfect for two families with small children or an older couple looking to escape. Out of the crowds near the beach, but yet a short drive to many great beaches (we found Chapin this year and are HOOKED). We are looking forward to renting again next season!

A few friends and I rented the house and had a great time! The house was very clean, nicely decorated and a reasonable price for mid- august on the cape. I would recommend this house for a group of friends or family. The house is located close by to the cape cod rail trail which was nice and also not far from route 28. Had a great time!
