We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the sandy beach and the warm water at the lake. Great location and cozy cottage, perfect for our family.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was perfect for our family trip (2 adults, toddler, and infant)! We had a blast swimming and paddle boarding at Bucks Pond and were a quick drive away from ocean beaches on all 3 sides of the cape. PJ and Carolyn provided a great guide to the area and their recommendations didn’t disappoint. They were super responsive during our stay as well.

Very comfortable property. Clean and well appointed. Location is great. We enjoyed days at the lake, with the Kayaks and paddle board, while only being a short ride from several ocean beaches. Kitchen and grill were perfect for eating in occasionally. Bedrooms, living room and dining area were all comfortable too. I would definitely recommend it.

A great location to get to all of our favorite places on the cape. Was quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed spending time on the deck and watching the birds in the morning. Bonus to be able to enjoy kayaking and a great pond right across the street.

We were so excited to visit Cape Cod for the first time and I have to say, this met every expectation.
The private pond was so lovely, everyone enjoyed our beach days, including the surprise ice cream truck that stopped by sometimes.... That may have been our kids favorite part of the entire trip.
They town was lovely, outdoor restaurants on the harbor, nice stores and really great restaurants.
I just can't say enough about how nice this area and the house was. It was nice to be in peace, quiet and a return to nature that was much needed.
The hosts were really lovely also and I suspect we will return again. I almost didn't want to write a review, I don't want the house to book up all the time and not be able to return... but it was too good to not support the owners and the great job they do.
Thank you so much PJ and Carolyn! We will remember this trip fondly.

This was a perfect vacation cottage for me, my husband and our adult daughter. Extremely well supplied, clean and comfortable. The location was excellent with short walk to swimming pond. We really enjoyed eating out on the deck. Great place!!!

I just cannot say enough good things about this home. It is welcoming from the first minute you pull down the road, driveway and into the house. The homeowners have thought of everything, there is no disappointment here. The location is absolutely fabulous as well. From sitting on the back deck overlooking the pond and greenery, to walking across the road down a cute little path to a wonderful beach and even larger serene pond where the water is so warm you can walk right in. The beach setting is so peaceful, you’ll never want to leave. The kayaks and paddle boards were the most awesome addition to our time on the beach. It was also nice not to have to bring any beach chairs, towels etc. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. My family and I have been vacationing in the Cape for the last 11 years and we now know that we need look no further when we return. The breeze that flows through the home from the front to the back is just so soothing when you go to bed at night. The built-in grill on the deck is absolutely superb. You will never go wrong renting this home. Although I never met the owners in person, communication was easy throughout the rental process and beyond. This home and amenities is definitely a win-win.

Mid Cape Delight
Charming. Everything we needed for a late October escape. Peaceful setting on a pond. Could spot water fowl from dining room table. Loved the church pew for seating in dining room. Comfortable seating in the living room to read or watch TV. Wooded trail across the street led one to Pleasant Lake beach , kayaks and gorgeous sunsets. Back deck included a perfect setting for supper under the lights.

Cozy Cape Cottage
This house rental in the Harwich area is centrally located and has easy access to many activities. There are several ponds for kayaking which we took advantage of close by. The house is in a lovely neighborhood, nicely laid out and decorated. It's perfect for 3 friends or a family with a few kids. the house was well equipped and easy to navigate. The owner PJ was easily accessible and responded in a timely manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the Cape and in this house and would definitely consider it for a future rental.

Excellent stay
This location is a treat. The house is 2br and was great for our party of 5. The equipment (kayaks, lake toys, bikes) are well cared for and neatly organized. The small lake beaches were a great way to have fun around the house. Everything was easy and the location was very convent to get into downtown, Hyannis, and Chattam. Would hope to stay there again!

Terrific location with beautiful private community beach.
Delightful house with bouquets of flowers to greet us upon arrival. Very comfortable and relaxing. Private back yard to eat dinner or read a good book. Scads of birds chirping and totally peaceful. Would return in a flash.

Central location on the Cape
Nice location to get to bike trails and Chatham. Kitchen so you can cook in rather than eating out every meal. Easy access to the pond beach across the street. Bring your own sheets and towels. Musty smell throughout and lots of bugs.

Fabulous
We loved it here, sad to leave. The house was perfect; the setting wonderful. Sitting in back watching the birds was a highlight. Can't wait to return.

We had a great time!The house is very pleasant, in a prime Cape Cod location. We loved the back yard, the serene ponds on both sides of the house, and the fire pit. I bet the place is even better in the summer.Only thing I am not a big fan of - guests must bring their own linens or, if they use the ones in the house - wash and dry them before checkout.1. It is so much nicer to come to a house with made beds, after a day of hiking, with tired kids, dinner to make and unpack...2. The last morning was inconvenient - we had to run two loads of laundry which meant we were just sitting around for couple of hours before we could leave to start our day.

Lovely winter stay
This cottage is just beautiful, with some really nice woodworking on the inside and lovely views of the water in front and back of the property. We stayed on a snowy long weekend, and the gas fireplace was a delightful treat and n the evenings. Super clean. Nice fixtures. The nook overlooking the pond is to die for.

Relaxing getaway
Stayed during the off-season but thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully decorated and well equipped house. Location was great, close to lots of hiking and the bike trail. The lake views were beautiful and watching the birds come and go was so relaxing. We hope to return soon and enjoy in the warm weather.

Lovely cape cod getaway!!
The house was beautiful, clean, and nicely decorated! The host provided a very detailed guide that left us with no questions. The neighborhood is very nice with the ponds and beach nearby - we had a great time out on the water a few times on the kayak and paddle board!! And Harwich was so central to all the places we wanted to visit. All in all a really wonderful trip, thank you Patrick for helping make it so terrific!!

It was a great vacation. Harwich is very quiet place, far away from crowds. For me personally very pleasant surprise was warm pond with crystal clear warm water. I was swimming every day and it was mid September! The property itself is very cosy with beautiful view of the small pond close to big supermarket. We didn’t go to any restaurants because of Covid

Wonderful relaxing vacation
My family and I just got back from this little gem in Harwich and were so sad to leave! Not only is the location perfect (and quiet!) but the house has everything you could possibly need. The owner was responsive and helpful, and super accommodating for some unplanned extra time on the pond after check out. We will be booking next year for sure, as our kids wanted to make sure this is a family tradition!

Perfect Location, Perfect Cottage
I think East Harwich in general and this quintessential "Cape Cod cottage" in particular are just about perfect! East Harwich is beautifully off the beaten path just enough to be quiet and relaxing and yet less than a 10-min drive into the more bustling Chatham. It also allows easy access up the "arm" of the Cape in one direction and about 25 mins into Hyannis for the ferries in the other direction. (In summer months Harwich has a ferry to Nantucket as well). If you don't feel like driving for an ocean sunset, you can simply walk across the road to a private beach on a lake and enjoy a spectacular view. In the cottage you will want for nothing. It was exceptionally clean when I arrived and had all the charm one wants of a "Cape Cod cottage." I was there by myself and never felt like it was too big, and yet a family would not be walking on top of each other either. It's laid out well and there's plenty of privacy and space both in the front and back yards. When I locked myself out on day one, I think PJ's response to my cry for help took all of 45 seconds! I will (and have already) definitely recommend this little slice of heaven to friends and family. Thank you, PJ, for a wonderful stay!

Lovely cottage on Buck’s Pond

Cape Cod Cottage
This was our first VRBO experience and so glad we tried this instead of a regular hotel. We had to make relatively sudden plans and this was a great fit and a neat experience that gave us more of a vacation feel. The location is great with water views from the front and back. The owner is kind & attentive and provides several activity options for individual or family activities.
