Elaine is so accommodating and responsive- a pleasure to deal with. I’ve stayed at many a vrbo site and this was the best one! House is spacious, clean and didn’t even lose power when Tropical Storm Lee visited!
We would love to come again next year. September on the Cape is great!

For our first visit to Cape Cod, we had a wonderful experience overall. The home was comfortable, spacious and we had everything we needed. Elaine was easy to communicate with and accessible. We will absolutely be returning for another stay.

Lovely, comfortable house, close to everything, yet quiet and peaceful. Backyard is great, with the bike trail just steps away. Highly recommend!

First time on the Cape and we had a great time! The home is centrally located, and backs to the rail trail which was so convenient. Interior looked even nicer in person than the pictures. Great communication from Elaine, and the basement was a huge perk when traveling with kids. Would recommend!

House was exactly as portrayed on VRBO. A wonderful big yard for dogs and people. I can imagine how beautiful the rhodys are when in bloom. The Cape Cod bike/hike trail is right behind the yard. The beds are very comfortable. There are steep stairs to upper bedrooms and the lower level so be cognizant of that. We had a long stay - 2 and a half weeks - and we loved really getting to know Cape Cod with all its wonders. The owner was instantly available any time we had a question.

After a bus tour of New England it was very nice to have 3 relaxing nights in Cape Cod. We enjoyed having our own beds that were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking breakfasts and one dinner. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the backyard because it was rainy. Would definitely consider staying here again if we make it back to the Cape.
3.0
The home was very comfortable for 4 adults needing 3 bed/bath combos, as accurately described. Furnishings were good, but upstairs carpet was in bad shape. Location felt central to Cape Cod area as a whole, but not really close to anything. Beware….there are 2 cleaning fees - if you don’t want to sit around the last morning to do their laundry. Overall rating based on average-ness of property & extra fee charged for cleaning linens.

Our family stayed for a week at the house and it was a blast. The location next to the bike/walking trail was great for a morning walk or bike ride. The home is fabulous as well! The yard and deck are great for the dogs and kids (if you have them :)). It was very clean and well equipped. Harwich is in the middle of the cape so you are no more than an hour from everything. Make sure you head out to Martha's Vinyard. Great shopping and food. Elaine was a great host and was able to address any issue that came up. This is our second time at the house and we will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Elaine's house. Her home was very clean and quite spacious. The Beds were extremely comfortable and the Master Bedrom is huge. Mid-Cape location was convenient for getting around and being so close to the Rail Trail was perfect for morning walks with our dog. We had one minor issue with the TV when we checked in and Elaine was immediately responsive and sent her handbyman the next morning to fix. I would highly recommend this property

Excellent location, easy to get to many places. Nice space in the hime to spread out. Our teen son and his two friends enjoyed the largest bedroom, while my spouse and I, and our adult friend enjoyed the other two bedrooms. So nice to walk and bike places via the bike path!
5.0
The house was very clean and exactly as listed. The house has so many accommodations for kids ( step stool, pack n play). Elaine does tell you to bring your own towels if you want the bigger size and I was glad we did because the ones they provide are tiny. Overall great house and great owner to work with.

Girls Trip to Cape Cod
We chose this property because it was in the middle of Cape Cod, and we wanted to be able to go from end to end. It was in a perfect location. House was clean and well kept, we wish we were in it more, but were travelling every day. The only problem was turning left onto the street leaving the house. There were bushes on the right which made it hard to see, and a bike path to the left, so we had to be very careful. The host replied to messages right away, and we wish there was a bathroom in the basement. Since we were all older, everyone needed to be near a bathroom at night. We felt very safe and secure in the house, since it was in a nice well kept neighborhood.

Excellent location near Rail Trail
For bikers/walkers, this is a fantastic location; the trail runs right next to the backyard, leading in both directions up and down the Cape.
House is spacious, clean, well appointed. Deck and grill in the backyard are great for gathering. Bathrooms and kitchen are modern and clean; kitchen has all you need.
Quiet street, lovely landscaping, and birds!
Only caveat is that basement is a bit stuffy for the extra bedroom (no window), but could serve well for kids who want bunk beds and room to romp.

Enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again. Stayed there last year and returned again this year. Great location for access to bike and conservation trails. House abuts bike trail. Mid-cape location makes a great jumping off point for day trips to other portions of the cape. Enough room to have adult children visit and stay as they were able. Owner quickly responded to our inquiries. Nice yard, deck and grill.

Me, my husband and our pup spent the week up there for Xmas. We had a great trip, very relaxing. House was clean and had everything we needed. Lake and beaches nearby. The owner was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed! We plan to go back soon, maybe in the warmer months next time!

We rented this home as a New Years Eve get away. We had 3 couples all in our 50’s. The set up of this immaculately clean home was perfect as each couple had their own bedroom and their own bathroom. The property backs up to a nice walking & Biking trail. Perfect for getting out into nature. I will definitely be renting here again!

Loved our stay at 11 Penobscot way Harwich
This was the second time returning to the property we love the proximity to the restaurants bike trails and Shoreline or walks on the beach. We love the house regards to cleanliness very quiet neighborhood and the fact that they allow pets which we brought our two dogs why I think I enjoyed it just as much as we did. Elaine the owner of the property is very responsive and issues you have any questions you have she gets back to you immediately and resolves any situations so we thank her.

Anniversary friend weekend
We had an amazing trip. The cleaning company she used definitely needs to be changed . Bathrooms were not clean we had to clean them ourselves . We left the place better then we got it and took photos and the cleaning people said it took 3 people 3 hours each to clean it . That’s cause it wasn’t clean when we got there l. We were never ther only to sleep. We swept the floor and it was immaculate when we left. Thank god I took photos before we left. But otherwise house was just What we needed , beds need to be updated and shower in the master would be nice instead of tub. It was a great house .

Penobscot Bliss Lived Up to its Name
Our brief but wonderful visit to the Cape sadly came to a close. We could not have had a nicer time, in no small measure due to the extraordinary hospitality of our host. Elaine was gracious, accommodating, responsive and thoughtful. We had everything we needed, we wanted for nothing, and the Visitor Notebook was a veritable compendium of important and valuable information that further facilitated our stay. As for the house, it was immaculate, tastefully decorated, fully provisioned and our “home” in the best sense for the weekend. It not only easily and fully accommodated our family of six, it was a welcome oasis in a whirlwind of activity of wedding related activities! Penobscot Bliss was perfectly located amidst the various wedding activities and venues and our own forays around the Cape which took us from Yarmouth (for delicious clam chowder) to Mayflower Beach (absolutely stunning) to Brewster (wedding ceremony) and Chatham (reception, etc.) and Harwich Port (post wedding brunch), with an excursion to Coast Guard and Nauset beaches and Nauset light. And a 30 second walk out the back door to the CCRT is a biker and walker’s dream! Oh, and morning coffee on the sun drenched deck was a daily delight. Our only regret was having to leave. If we could reward 10 ⭐️s we would!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home in Harwich. If you like to ride bikes this is the perfect location, right on the Cape Cod bike trail. The house and yard are great for families and people with pets. The owner, Elaine was very nice to work with. We will definitely try and stay here again next time we vacation on The Cape!

A great home
This was a great rental home, fully equipped, comfortable mattresses and dog friendly. We enjoyed staying there. Elaine was a great host but we did not need her because everything was fine the entire trip. We would definitely stay here again.

This home had everything you need and was set back off the street in a quiet cul-de-sac. The bike trail was located through the back yard and the garage was big enough to hold all of our bikes and then some. I celebrated my 60th with hubby, daughter, son-in-law and their two dogs. We spent a good portion of our time on the back deck, which had a gate to keep the pups safely on the deck with us. Visiting the Chatham Fish Pier/Market is a must, had awesome seafood and got to watch the seals swimming around looking for free handouts from the fishermen. The owner was very easy to work with and quickly answered my multiple emails of questions. The house has three levels of living space and the three bathrooms were perfect when my sister and nephew stayed the night (we each had our own area to get ready). It was hard to leave this beautiful home and we look forward to going back in the future.
P.S. Our furry family had just as much fun as we did!
