Great location

The location was great! Within walking distance to a local park that had pickleball courts. Also we could ride our bikes to the Old Colony Rail Trial which links up with the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The backyard was nicely landscaped. I would recommend this place.

Beautiful Cape Cod Home

Nancy was an absolutely great host! We had a wonderful stay in her beautiful home for our family vacation! We were on the Cape for a family reunion and this spot was the perfect central location! The home is within walking distance to Cranberry Valley Golf Course and also to Whitehouse Field where the Harwich Mariners play baseball. It was also conveniently located to so many local attractions. It was so nice to have my entire family together in one place with plenty of room! We could not have asked for anything more! Would highly recommend this rental for your family vacation!

This VRBO Cheered Us Up

VRBO pictures are always taken in the best light, and it rained 5 of the 7 days we were in Cape Cod, so my wife and I were very pleased when we first entered our rental unit. Despite the gloomy weather outside, the entire unit looked very close to the very attractive VRBO pictures. While the upstairs hasn't been updated in awhile, the 1st floor bathroom and the kitchen were very current. LOVED the 1st floor shower.!!! And having the brand new washer and dryer in the basement wasn't a problem, because the basement was very clean and well lit. New bedroom sheets and comforters would give the bedrooms a fresh look, but we were asleep most of the time while in those rooms. For 1st time visitors to Cape Cod, this VRBO location was excellent - as we wanted to visit towns from Woods Hole to Provincetown...and we did. This unit is very fairly priced, and if we drive up from Charlotte again, I hope its available for us to rent again.

Great location

The property was both spacious and comfy. The kitchen was great to work in and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the light blocking shades were helpful. There was an issue with one of the shower doors but we were informed that it was safe and it was being worked on. Nancy was available via text for any issues or concerns. There was more cleaning required prior to leaving than many other places I have stayed at VRBO but it was do-able. Safe neighborhood and great yard

Lovely home in Harwich

The house was very nice and fairly well-equipped. The kitchen was great and we really enjoyed the family room. The grounds were beautiful and the location was perfect. We did miss having a tv or even a radio in the master bedroom upstairs, and could have used more towels, tub mats and toilet paper. The streaming tv’s did take getting used to, but worked out fine. Overall, great stay!

2022 Summer Stay at “The Anchor”

My family and I had a lovely stay at “The Anchor”. The house was well appointed and roomy for a family of 8. The patio was great for outdoor dining and the yard was perfect for wiffle ball games. Nancy was a great host! The house is conveniently located to town and the beach! Fun was had by all!
