About this house rental
Centrally located in Harwich Port with close proximity to the beach, harbors, downtown, and local attractions, our home is a spacious and custom "Cape" with the ambiance of a beachside cottage, with the amenities of a modern home. With everything you could want within very close proximity and all your desired amenities onsite, The Port House is the perfect hub for a relaxing and refreshing summer vacation, weekend getaway (for golf etc.), wedding trip, or long-term stay. In total, there are three large bedrooms (three queen beds / one single day bed; can sleep up to 7 people comfortably) and two full bath's including walk-in shower and full bathtub. Our home features a luxurious four season sunroom, outside brick deck, and very large front and backyards. Furthermore, the home is fully heated with an AC unit in each bedroom, and high definition cable and high speed internet available year round.
The Port House is a two-story, 3-bedroom 2-bathroom house that was recently updated. It is well built, spacious, and very clean traditional Cape that has hardwood floors and hand-finished ceilings throughout the premise. The first floor features a spacious living room w/ a flat screen Smart TV that is perfect for the family to watch a game /movie or catch up on the days events. The living room is well lit and open. With room for the whole family and a fireplace, the dining room is the perfect place to enjoy a meal with the family during any month of the year. Adjacent to the living room, is a bright and energizing sunroom, which is the perfect location to read a good book, catch the afternoon sunset, or watch a ball game on the new 40'' SONY flatscreen TV. The room has comfortable seating, including chairs, table, and a comfortable microfiber couch (great for an afternoon nap!). Also, a full kitchen is located off the dining room and comes equipped with an oven, stovetop, heating oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher. The kitchen overlooks the backyard and features an eating area for dining and cabinet space for storage. This versatile kitchen is great for cooking small meals or a large feast! Finally, a master bedroom resides on the first floor. The suite features a Queen Bed as well as a flat screen TV. A full bathroom (with marble "him & her" shower) is accessible from both the bedroom and the kitchen. Finally, a washing machine (brand new) and dryer are located on the first floor.
The second floor houses two additional bedrooms (queen beds) and a large bathroom (including bathtub). Both bedrooms have a large walk-in closet and room for a rollaway bed, which are located in each respective closet. Both bedrooms have sitting areas (with a flat screen TV in the larger of the two) and one of the bedrooms has a daybed for the kids to take a nap. For convenience (and quiet), families can enclose the upstairs area.
A outdoor brick deck is directly accessible from the sunroom. During the summer months, the deck has outdoor furniture and grill, making it the perfect place for a summer cookout. Furthermore, our home has a very large backyard (with a brand new 6 ft fence) and a large front yard, which is a great place for the kids to play or to host a gathering with friends and family. Finally, the outdoor deck features an outside shower with a changing area, stereo, and lighting to rinse off or take a relaxing shower after the beach. The prevailing southwest wind off the water makes the deck and yard a Summer/Fall favorite.
Finally, the property features an attached garage with a small bluestone patio located outside the garage. There is a beach buggy, wagon, sand toys etc. located in the garage.
We want our home to be your preferred Cape Cod destination year around. We want our guests to feel welcome and lodging to be the easy part of the equation. Currently, we are in the process of upgrading the property and always look to our guests for feedback. We consider ourselves a partner in maximizing the potential of your stay! Whether you are looking to spend a week or two during the summer or a golf weekend in the Fall, we hope you consider The Port House.
Just steps from Wyndemere Bluffs beach, Allen Harbor, and downtown, The Port House is a great Cape Cod destination (see location description). Our family has spent our summers in the area for over the last 20 years. We hope to spend many more years in Harwich and hope that you can join! Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.

Very easy and open lines of communication with Scott both in advance and during the stay. The house had everything needed! The walk to the beach was very easy as well as to restaurants and shops. The bed and bath on the first floor was good for older family members and gave some separation from the family members upstairs. Would recommend to others looking for a great spot in Harwich Port!

Beautiful home! Great location!

This house was ideal for my family! It is an extremely well maintained home with all the amenities we could have asked for. All the rooms are spacious and bright. My parent’s used one of the upstairs bedrooms, complete with a sitting area; providing them a space of their own to retreat to in the evening. My wife and I enjoyed the first floor master bedroom and the beautiful marble shower in the master bath. There are large closets and plenty of drawer space in each bedroom making it easy to unpack. The open living space was laid out perfectly enabling us to enjoy each other’s company while having separate spaces to read, watch tv, or play games. The sunroom was a family favorite!!
The furniture and mattresses were very comfortable, and the decor is delightful. The kitchen is very well equipped; more kitchenware and glasses than I have in my own house! The kitchen and patio, as well as the dining room, provided more than ample places to dine. I’ve been vacationing on the Cape for years and this is one of the best locations I’ve stayed. The location was perfect; we were able to walk everywhere we wanted in minutes, the beach, downtown, and ice cream shops.
The owner is exceptionally accommodating and welcoming. It was clear from the start Scott was committed to providing us with the best experience possible and he exceeded all of our expectations!! We have stayed in a number of VRBO properties and this house was definitely the best we have experienced.

It’s rare reality surpasses the photos and online reviews, 6 Doane Way did! This rental was fantastic for me and my family, especially with our parent’s joining us. Keeping this summer home pristine is clearly a priority for the owner, inside and out. The sunroom was my favorite place, it was the perfect spot to read a book and listen to music (love the in-ceiling speakers). The kitchen had everything we required and then some, the yard and patio meticulously maintained and that outdoor shower was something out of a design magazine, music and lights!! The location was perfect for our family; very quick walk to a lovely beach, ice cream shop, and to charming main street for shopping, dinner and drinks. Also great for long walks and jogs along beach roads and harbor. Last but not least, the owner goes above and beyond to make his quests feel comfortable, welcomed and relaxed, taking the time to personally ensure we had a incredible vacation. We highly recommend this home!!

Our family lucked out when with this beautiful home! As we got to know the Cape during our week's vacation, we realized that we couldn't have asked for a better central location to explore the area while having walking access to a beach and town location. The immaculate home was charming and homey, and we can't wait to visit again!

This house worked out extremely well for our family vacation. There was one room for me, my wife, and our 7 year old son; another room for my brother and his girlfriend; and a master bedroom for our parents. The location was ideal with a beautiful beach and downtown Harwich Port all within walking distance. It was also convenient to have a supermarket and CVS pharmacy nearby. The go-karts, bumper boats, and trampolines are all very close, along with some great bars and restaurants. The house was very clean and well maintained. We spent a lot of time on the patio and playing games out in the big and beautiful backyard. Scott was very nice and accommodating. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in Harwich Port.

This house was ideal for our family gathering! It is a lovely, traditional Cape Cod house, and Scott and Brian have done a wonderful job of renovating and updating it. All the rooms are spacious and light-filled. Our adult son and his girlfriend used one of the upstairs bedrooms, complete with a sitting area. Our daughter, her husband, and our 5-year-old grandson stayed in the other upstairs bedroom, which includes a daybed and a play area, complete with books and games. My husband and I enjoyed the master bedroom and the luxurious marble shower in the master bath. There are large closets and plenty of drawer space in each bedroom. The open living room and dining room, as well as the sun room, provide lots of places for relaxing separately or being together. There is comfortable seating everywhere, and the decor is beautiful, including original Cape Cod art. The kitchen is well-equipped --- I've never seen so many glasses! The kitchen and patio, as well as the dining room, provide varied places for dining. We entertained additional family members a couple of times. Our extended family has been coming to the Harwich Port area for more than 50 years, and this house has a great location, near the charming village of Harwich Port, as well as near the lovely private beach. The beach equipment and toys were well-used by us. Scott is a gracious, warm, and generous host, communicating efficiently, offering us extra beach chairs and another beach umbrella, and recommending the most appropriate restaurants, ice cream places, and golf courses for our group. Some of us went kayaking, biking, and exploring the National Seashore and the Monomoy Wildlife Preserve with tourist info Scott provided. We have stayed in several VRBO properties in various parts of the country, and this house was definitely the best we have experienced in terms of comfort, beauty, and livability!

When my husband and I walked into 6 Doane Way, it took our breathe away. Everything Scott said about it was true. The location was perfect. The house immaculate. We walked into town; walked to the beach; went shopping. Grocery store, deli, and churches were minutes away. The amenities were outstanding: fully equipped kitchen, 4 flat screen tv,s, master bedroom downstairs with bath and 2 bedrooms upstairs with a bath.The house had everything to make a vacation perfect. Scott, our host, went above and beyond to make our stay special. I've recommended the house to family and friends. The one hour and 30 minute from Boston was delightful: like a spectacular picture from Currier and Ives. We hope we can return next fall. We miss the house, but most of all, we miss Scott's smile and sincerity. Rosemary and Tony

What a find this vacation home was for my family. This house and owner are tremendous! Everything we needed was provided and then some. The home is meticulously maintained inside and out, so, so clean! The open concept provided us with all the space we could have asked for and we’re still talking about the beautiful living room and sunroom!! The first floor master bath is marvelous; we really loved the marble shower. All of the furniture was very comfortable, the kitchen was really well stocked, and the garage had beach chairs and toys for us to use. The pristine landscaping could only be matched by the outdoor shower, which had its own stereo system! The neighborhood beach took minutes to walk to and was really clean. The town and location where perfect!
The owner takes great pride in his home and puts his guests first. I highly recommend staying at 6 Doane Way, it’s the best home we’ve stayed in.

We chose the house because of the separation of Master bedroom on first floor and the 2 bedrooms upstairs, as well as the location. We were not disappointed by either. The location was perfect for those who want more than just a beach vacation. We walked for coffee in the mornings; we biked; we explored neighboring towns; we ferried to Nantucket. And our grown kids had privacy upstairs, as we did on the main floor.
The house is ideal for families and for groups. Scott opened up the first floor by tearing down the wall that would have separated the dining and living rooms; and the floor plan is perfect for being together, yet doing your own thing while at home. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. The appliances worked well. The master bath was redone and was awesome!
Scott is committed to making his house perfect for everyone, and requests, rightfully so, that the renters respect this. So everything is pristine, which we very much appreciated.
We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and recharging vacation with our family and friends.

We rented this house to reconnect with college friends. We had couples coming and going all week.
The location was conveniently located given other couples stayed in Chatham/Dennis and could get to our place in no time. We spent the days at the beach and on our friend's boat at the harbor down the road. We enjoyed spending time in town, particularly at "The Port" and their Oyster Bar.
The house is extremely clean and comfortable. The backyard was great for cookouts and bocce.
The owner's are very accomodating and easy to work with. We plan to rent again in the future.

Meticulously clean and well maintained. Great spot to vacation. We'll see you next summer!
