About this cottage rental

Outstanding Harwich Port location! This charming property comes with a newly remodeled guest house, which is really a 2nd fully functional house. A perfect gathering place for multiple families! The main house and the guest house each have 4 bedrooms, full kitchens, 2 full bathrooms, a washer/dryer, an outdoor shower and outdoor eating and seating areas.

The property is situated in a residential area just a short walk to the beach on Nantucket Sound with a similarly short walk to the shops and restaurants of Harwich Port center. The inviting front porch of the main house greets you before entering into the first floor which has a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. The downstairs shower is in the laundry room and the toilet and sink are in an adjacent room which makes it nice when you have multiple people trying to get ready for a day at the beach or a day exploring all there is to see and do on the Cape. There is a second refrigerator on the back side porch. That porch also has a twin bed for an additional overnight guest. This completes the first floor.

Upstairs there are four nicely sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have king beds and two of the bedrooms have queen beds. The upstairs full bathroom is unique in that it has a beautiful clawfoot tub that has been converted to a shower.

The main house has beautiful southern pine floors, gas heat, central air conditioning and a nice outside dining area, lounge area, outdoor shower and lawn.

The newly remodeled guest house sits off the back corner of the main house. It is easily accessed from the back steps of the main house and also has it's own entrance from another street. The guest house has a family room, dining room, kitchen, stackable washer/dryer, and full bathroom on the first floor. Upstairs there is the second full bathroom, and four bedrooms. One room has a king bed, another bedroom has a queen bed, a third bedroom has two twin beds and the fourth bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed. The guest house has beautiful wood floors, air conditioning, and gas heat The guest house has its own patio with dining area and it's own outdoor shower.

The beach for both homes is the public beach on Atlantic Avenue, which is a 1/10th of a mile walk. There are a few other public beaches that are a short walk away. There is a private association beach on Quason Lane, however we do not currently have access to that beach. I thought I'd mention this fact so that there is no confusion for those that are familiar with the area.

Another added feature for this unique property is the ample parking. Each house can accommodate at least 5 cars or 10 cars total.

We chose this property because it had two separate houses where our two families could enjoy the week. The location was great, close to beach and downtown. The parking was plentiful and the outside spaces were all very nice. The family who stayed in the guest house enjoyed a fully renovated space. My family stayed in the main house. This house was not enjoyable. There were 4 bedrooms upstairs with either king or queens. The only bathroom was horrible. It was very old, musty, small and had an old tub that was treacherous to get in and out of. Do not stay here if you have young children or older folks. The rest of the house was also old and had very unpleasant smell. Overall it was not our best vacation.

This stay was amazing! Great location with short walking distance to the beach and downtown Harwich Port. The property is exactly like the pictures - super clean, spacious, and perfect for a large family or group of friends. Kevin was very responsive to any questions we had and made the whole process very seamless. I’d highly recommend staying here. We definitely will be returning!

Two families came together to celebrate my partner and I getting engaged. The two houses were stocked more than we could have imagined and the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms were all fantastic and clean. This house could not have been any better! With the short walk to the town and the beach we enjoyed many morning walks. Additionally, the two patios could not have been better, where we were able to grill out and enjoy meals all sitting around the same area. Tons of space and such a beautiful property, would return in a heartbeat if we were to vacation on the cape again. Lastly, the host is an incredible person - cannot thank them and recommend this place enough!

The home was a perfect base - with a short walk to Atlantic Beach - ideal for our youngsters ages 1-4. An easy walk to town for coffee, meals, etc. House was extremely well equipped. The "guest house" is freshly updated and quite nice. The main house not quite as fresh but perfect. Great outdoor space. Wonderful neighborhood. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing long weekend at this property! Myself, my husband and five other adult couples were in town for a wedding. We all fit comfortably. The outdoor space is perfect for enjoying the sunshine. Walking distance to some bars and restaurants and most importantly, the beach!

Wonderful cottage, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen with every dish, pot and pan you would need (no food of course but spices, etc.) and a fabulous outdoor space. Beach is around the corner. Would rent again!
