About this house rental

Cape Harbor Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Located on the Cape's south ocean coast, directly on the Nantucket Sound, Harwich Port is a wonderful, fun-filled village that offers the beaches, boating, beauty, and charm that make Cape Cod simply irresistible.

Your spacious 4BR/2.5BA Cape Cod home is just a 5-minute walk from private beach access. This exclusive beach rarely gets crowded, includes a guard, and is managed by the Allen Harbor Beach Association. After a day in the sun, unwind in the large, shady backyard that is surrounded on both sides with empty lots. Throw a BBQ or just relax in the hammock.

Walk to an array of family-friendly activities, including the Trampoline Center, Grand Slam Entertainment, and Bud’s Go-Karts. Shopping and dining options in Harwich Port are also nearby.

ABOUT THE HOME

This home has three living rooms. Stretch out on the wraparound sofa or love seat and chat in front of the decorative brick fireplace. Music lovers can practice their scales on the baby grand piano.

In the second living room you’ll find additional seating and a functional fireplace. A third living room includes a sofa, love seat, chair, and 32” cable TV.

The large kitchen has everything you need to prepare a big pot of New England Clam Chowder. Up to six can gather at the table in the breakfast nook and six more can sit at the dining room table. There is also additional seating in the sunroom.

Everyone’s favorite spot will be the “Carousel Room” – a bright, roomy sunroom with a large white comfortable couch. Mix up your favorite cocktails at the built-in wet bar, and dine at the eight-person table (there are additional folding chairs for bigger groups).

Sliding glass doors lead out to a shady backyard, where there’s a dining table for six. Throw steaks on the grill for a backyard BBQ, then relax in the hammock with a crisp drink and enjoy the evening breeze.

Other amenities include an outdoor shower, a drying rack for towels, and beach chairs for guest use in the shed.

Upstairs you’ll find two guest rooms with queen beds, and two recently updated bedrooms with two twin beds each. There are two shared bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and another with a tub/shower combination.

Up to four cars can park in the driveway and a full washer/dryer is tucked into a laundry room on the first floor.

THE LOCATION

This home makes it easy to enjoy the warm waters of Nantucket Sound. You’re just a 5-minute walk from the Brooks Road Beach and the Allen Harbor Beach Association—a private neighborhood beach. Family-friendly activities include the Trampoline Center, Bud’s Go-Karts, and Grand Slam Entertainment, which offers bumper boats, a zip line, and a batting cage. All are a 7- to 12-minute walk away.

For a fun day trip, explore nearby islands by taking the ferry from Harwich Port, or drive to nearby Chatham.

We loved every second of our stay at Cape Harbor Retreat and plan on coming back every year! The house is lovely and comfortable—we especially loved that there are big spaces to gather but also lots of separate spaces for people to read or work quietly alone (including the hammock in the backyard!) And it really felt like a home—the kitchen has everything you need, there are books and puzzles around, and everything felt cared for and comfortable. LOVED the 5-minute walk to the beach and 10-minute walk to the center of town. Loved how quiet it was. I worked part of the time and had space to work and good wifi. Outdoor shower was a hit too. And the host was easy to connect with and very helpful. We'll be back!

The private association beach is a short walk and beautiful! The home is spacious and was well supplied with bath towels and beach towels. It was also spotless upon arrival which was a nice surprise.

We had a great time at this property. Exploring all the different rooms was so much fun. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bar was great. The beach is a quick walk and not a lot of people there. We had a slight issue with the dishwasher, the property management company sent Devon who was very friendly and he fixed the issue immediately. We loved him! This is a great property for family and friends!

Cape Cod is full of old world charm and this house is the perfect example - it is very clean and has been maintained to reflect the most charming aspects or being on the Cape - there is a private beach right down the road. Great restaurants all around. Central to all locations - it was terrific!
