This is our third time staying at this lovely house. Love the location the layout.

We have stayed at many places on the Cape, and this is the best by far. Its lakeside location and wonderful amenities made it a perfect family vacation. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The property is beautiful. We spent most of our time on the screened-in porch enjoying the view of the lake. The property was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pedal boat and kayaks as well! The outdoor shower was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and Jennifer and Glenn were amazing to work with. They were very accommodating to me and my family when we had challenges with our travel day. Wonderful hosts! We would definitely stay at this property again. Thank you!

We were so lucky to stay at this incredible house again this year!!! It’s our family’s weekly vacation on Cape Cod, Dad, Mom, daughter and husband, son and two 7 year old cousins!!! The beautifully decorated home had everything we needed and when we had a problem, it was dealt with immediately! Buck’s Pond was a big draw for fishing, swimming, and playing! I was amazed at how creative the grandchildren were at keeping themselves busy at the pond! They just loved it! Hopefully we’ll be able to stay again next year! Thanks so much Jennifer and your very helpful husband!

We visited this home for our yearly summer trip to the Cape and absolutely loved the property! It’s close to everything but feels delightfully quiet and private. The shared spaces both inside and out were perfect for our family because we love to all be together cooking and eating and relaxing. The pond view was gorgeous and having the kayaks and paddleboat available was so much fun.
The house truly does have everything you could want in a summer Cape vacation rental! We really enjoyed our stay.
Side note: we used our own towels and linens for the most part so we didn’t have to do a ton of laundry on Saturday morning. But it is all provided.

This property is in a great neighborhood with a beautiful lakeview. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and paddle boat and liked that the house had two different levels. We were close to some of the other Cape towns which allowed us to explore their downtowns. We loved our summer vacation.

We have used this property for years and enjoyed it especially this year as the weather was great. The location is convenient to both Harwich and Chatham with the added advantage of being on a fresh water pond (a New England term for a small lake!). If the wind and/or temperature at the beach are not good, the pond is more protected and you can still enjoy swimming and boating.

Our stay at this beautiful home was wonderful! The home was clean, comfortable, roomy and had a wonderful view of the pond. Sitting on the screened in porch , had you feeling like you were right on the water. There was plenty of seating for inside and out for relaxing and enjoying the view. We will definitely be returning to this lovely home.

This is a lovely home right on Bucks Pond. My son and grandkids went kayaking every day, sometimes twice. While the location was a little confusing at first, we quickly realized how convenient it was to everywhere we wanted to go. The house was very nice and extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay here and Jennifer was very gracious and accommodating.

My friends went and enjoyed their stay. The weather was not in their favor but made the best of it. I unfortunately was ill and couldn’t make it. They loved the house and all the amenities.I would love to try going again, but I would go June or early September. Host Jennifer was very easy to reach out to. KC

We had a wonderful family vacation in this lakeside home. The house is well-equipped for a family — lake “toys”, kitchen needs, linens, etc. The house is impeccably clean and open concept so amenable to an easy use of the kitchen, dining area, and living room. We go to the Cape almost every year and this is the best house!

This was our second summer at Clearwater Drive and it was a hit for the whole family once again. We love this place, it’s the perfect spot for young families and super accessible to all of the Cape.
The house is really clean and really well stocked with everything you need. Beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, body boards, floats. Pretty much everything you need for a day at the beach. Also the screened-in porch which looks out over the water is a huge plus. We pretty much spend our whole time out there when in the house. Coffee and breakfast in the morning. Card games and reading in the afternoon and drinks in the evening. It’s a great spot to watch storms roll through too. And the icing on the cake is bucks pond. Having very easy access to this freshwater pond is so amazing. It’s shallow for the little kids to splash and play for hours on end. We love spending the day there, doing a little fishing early morning, or ending the day with a swim in the pond. Jennifer and Glenn are super gracious hosts and they are close by so very easy to communicate with if you need anything. We are already dreaming about our stay next summer!!

This was our yearly vacation stay which included a Mother, Father, daughter and husband, son and 2, 6 year old grandchildren. The pics of the house don’t do it justice! It is much larger than it appears! The furnishings are beautiful! The screened in porch was wonderful and enjoyed by everyone. We loved being steps from the pond! The water is very clear and we can attest that there’s lots of fish to be caught and then we released them. The grands were in and out of the water several times a day. Lots of room here to spread out. Sunsets were awesome! Jennifer got back to us immediately whenever we had questions! We had a fun-filled vacation and we’re looking forward to returning next year! Many thanks to Jennifer and her husband!

The location is great: right on Buck’s Pond and close to several towns on the Cape. The house is extremely well stocked with all the things you want and often don’t get in a vacation rental: kitchen supplies; bath and beach towels; all kinds of outdoor chairs; kayaks, floats and more stuff for the beach. The host, Jennifer, is helpful and very responsive.

My family and I stayed for a week in June and felt the home and the lake it was situated on was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The house was clean. It was peaceful, relaxing and quiet there. The lake was picturesque and perfect for everyone aged 2-70 to enjoy. From splashing in the water by the sand bar to kayaking, we created memories few homes could offer. As an added bonus, the fully screened-in upper porch made enjoying every form of weather the Cape has to offer an absolute treat. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for letting us use your wonderful property!

Our family had a great time on the pond! Great location and easy access for a fun day at Martha’s Vineyard. Families beware, plan on spending your last day doing laundry. We started the washer at 7:30 am and kept it running and still didn’t get it all done. Unfortunately, our wonderful vacation ended on a stressful note due to the laundry. We still had a great time and made wonderful memories!

House was larger than expected as was Bucks Pond! The back deck view was fantastic at all hours and the surrounding neighborhood was super quiet while we were there. Loved the easy water access just down the stairs for a quick kayak ride and the beach being literally a one minute walk was super nice for a morning stroll. Central Cape location made for easy exploring in all directions. House interior was nice and clean with just about everything you'd need for a stay. Beds were comfy with plenty of pillows & blankets available. It's a great house in a great location. Only item of note is having to wash sheets and towels prior to leaving. We were fortunate that we did not have to depart super early to wash and dry our two loads, but keep that in mind if you do, otherwise no complaints at all!

My husband & I flew from CA to stay in Boston & then spend a week on the Cape relaxing. This home is very clean, sleeps 8 & has everything you need. Jennifer, the host, is friendly & helpful. We enjoyed kayaking on the pond & sunsets at the waters edge. The neighborhood is super quiet, tucked away but centrally located to the entire Cape. We hope to return! [Washing sheets, & towels before checking out by 11 am was tricky, and there were only 2 of us, so I’m not sure how it get done with 8, but perhaps this can be remedied. If I were driving to this vacation from my home, I’d bring all my own linens & towels & wash them once I returned home. The supplies to clean, do laundry, as well as paper towels & paper napkins were well stocked. Thanks, Jennifer!

A perfect getaway. Coffee on the porch overlooking the lake. Easy access to the lake and its beach, with kayaks. Home was spacious and comfortable. Excellent location for exploring all parts of the cape. There are two bedrooms on each floor, leaving an ideal setup for two families or one large family. House sits on a hill so the bottom and top floors both face the lake and have direct lake access. Plenty of chairs for sitting around and enjoying the view. Host was responsive and terrific. Loved every aspect of our stay.

This is our second summer at this beautiful house located directly pondside. We love watching the sunsets from the screened porch and taking a dip in the pond after a long day at the beach.

This house is absolutely my favorite house that we've stayed in on the Cape! We were two families of 4, and we spend most of the week kayaking, swimming and paddle boarding on the pond. And of course, sitting on the screened in porch looking out at the pond. :) Jennifer was very nice and helpful and the house had everything we needed for the week!

We stayed as two families - 4 adults with 3 kids ages 3-6. The house was perfect for two families with 2 bedrooms, full bath and living area on each level. The kitchen had everything we needed to make yummy dinners. The house also came with boogie boards, kayaks, fish nets etc which kept us entertained all week. Also does have an outdoor shower - a must have on a cape vacation! The house is a 30 second walk to a private beach right on the pond. the pond is small enough for there to be no motor boats - only swimmers & kayakers. Definitely clean enough and calm enough for the kids to swim all day. Was the perfect house and location for our vacation!! Glenn & Jenn we’re wonderful hosts and very responsive. Would absolutely recommend this rental !

The house looked exactly as described in the listing. It was great to have towels/sheets included as we came from 6 hours away.
The best part was sitting on the deck enjoying the pond view and crisp air. I am a 30 year ER nurse and definitely needed the downtime. Hosts Jennifer and Glenn were great and helpful. Will be back!!

We loved our week in Harwich on Bucks Pond! We lived on the screened porch overlooking the water — coffee in the mornings to bird song, wine in the evening watching the sunset — heaven. We used the pedal boat and the kayaks.
The location is great, just a short drive to restaurants, farmers markets, and ocean beaches.
Kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfy, towels plush. We had enough room to spread out when we wanted down time.
All in all a wonderful week at a great property.

After months of hunkering down in Boston, my family and I needed a change of scenery, and this lovely property on Bucks Pond in East Harwich was perfect for a relaxing and tranquil autumn vacation. Being able to just gaze at the pond and enjoy the peaceful quiet while I sipped hot coffee in the morning was just what I needed to decompress. The house itself is spacious and nicely decorated with good-sized bedrooms and two living spaces, quite roomy for 4 of us. We remarked that this would be excellent for families with young kids; the nearby pond beach is really pretty. The location is excellent: close to Chatham and to a major shopping area, including a well-stocked Stop n Shop, and with the Outer Cape within easy reach (just over 30 min up Rt 6 to P-town). Our hosts (Jennifer & Scott Bryant) communicate promptly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property: five stars and then some!

Stop looking! This home is just perfect in everyway for a relaxing stay on the Cape. Perfect for families with children, girls getaway, or adults only relaxation time. The location, in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Bucks Pond, with kayaks, paddleboards, fishing rods and private beach makes it so easy to just hang out. If you want the beach, rail trail biking, dinner out or shopping everything is just minutes away. The house was spotless, very nice beachy decor, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with staples (pots, pans, dishes, glassware), paper products, cleaning supplies and everything you could need for for washing clothes.The views of the pond from the house were beautiful, from the early morning mirrored glass water, to the activity of kayakers, stand up paddleboarders and swimmers during the day and then come the beautiful sunsets at night. All of this was enjoyed everyday on an expansive screened in porch. We lived out there!Lastly our hosts, Jennifer and Glen were wonderful. Very responsive to any questions we had. Always pleasant and helpful. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. Hope to visit again. I am encouraging my children to book soon for next year, I know my grandkids would love it!

This place was in such a cute little neighborhood, perfect for strolling around, biking, or running. The pond and beach were so beautiful and private, I wish I always had that view! The house was great and had plenty of space. The only drawback is the check-out process of washing and drying all sheets/towels. The dryer isn't the most powerful so that part took quite some time. To do 2 loads, it took us over 2.5hrs so just be sure to leave much more time than you think you'll need. Overall, amazing place!!
