Walk to Beach/Ferry/Downtown - Quiet w/Hot Tub!

Escape to Charming by the Harbor

This amazing, secluded vacation home is perfectly nestled in the heart of the Hyannis Harbor Waterfront District, yet close to all the action Cape Cod has to offer: 3+ beaches! Ferry across the street - just jump the fast boat to Martha's Vineyard on a moment's notice or go on a Whale Watcher's Cruise! Waterfront dining! Artist Shanties! Boutiques! Live music! Museums! Bars and Restaurants! And more! Explore Cape Cod by day, and then retreat to this stylish and luxurious, yet comfortable haven in the evening.

Prepare to relax and enjoy the serenity of this home's outdoor oasis where you can soak up the sun, play games, grill a meal, lounge at the firepit or unwind in the luxury hot tub (Hot tub closed after October 15th until May 15th), while gazing at a starry sky.

About the House

While almost hidden from view and set far back from the street, this secluded home is situated on a very private wooded lot. You will be in the midst of everything exciting that Hyannis has to offer, and yet not know it, given how tranquil and relaxing it is to stay at the house.

Charming By The Harbor, is expansive with its oversized windows, and is large, spacious, airy and flooded with natural light with the feel of a classic contemporary Cape Cod landmark home. Built in 2004, it offers all the expected modern conveniences including an open plan living area, an updated kitchen with plenty of counter space and breakfast bar, updated bathrooms, central air conditioning and a see-through gas fireplace. There is a large sunny deck, complete with lounge seating and table with chairs for dining alfresco located in the front of the home, close to the kitchen on the second level.

In the rear of the house at the lower level is a flat backyard patio with a newly installed hot tub with steps leading up to it, as well as an area perfect for frisbee, cornhole, and other outdoor games and a small patio for barbecuing, with a picnic table to enjoy grilled meals. This is also where the swing glider and must-have outdoor shower is located.

There are 3 levels making it easy to have your own space. The first lower level has its own separate living room and wet bar. It is a large area perfect for grill preparations, and has a secondary refrigerator, prep sink, kitchen cabinetry, and separate dishwasher. Glass sliding doors open straight to the patio and fenced-in yard. There is 1 bedroom with a full bath on this level. There is also a dedicated office space, in case you need to sneak in some work hours.

The second level has a large, open kitchen, dining room that seats 8 and a great room with 15-foot cathedral ceilings - creating the perfect space for everyone to hang out. The Primary Bedroom located on this level, with an en suite luxurious bathroom and whirlpool tub, also offers slider access to the deck.

The third uppermost level has its own sitting area and 3 bedrooms that share 1 full bath, keeping most of the bedrooms away from the entertainment areas of the house.

What's Nearby

With several options for waterfront dining and top-rated restaurants to choose from all around you, you'll never run out of places to try all the different types of Cape Cod cuisine. This location is within walking distance to all the fun summer activities: shop artist shanties in the Harbor, craft fairs, and live music festivals on the Hyannis green within walking distance to the house, tour the JFK or Maritime Museums, or visit all the boutiques on Main Street and shop till you drop.

Saunter out for coffee or ice cream whenever the urge strikes. After hours, head back out for many choices to enjoy the lively nightlife on Main Street and the Harbor, often with live music.

To keep the kids entertained, several mini golf courses, the Yarmouth Inflation Park, and the pirate museum are a few miles down Route 28.

For Beach Lovers

Near the house, there are 3 beaches from which to choose: walk to Veterans Beach, which is quieter and more relaxed; one mile by car to famous Kalmus Beach, which is a long powered sandy beach that is fun to windsurf or watch the action on the water. Keyes Beach is another favorite, especially with young ones as it is more protected. Should you decide you would prefer to drive there is a beach pass included for free parking at all of Town of Barnstable's beaches!

Autumn on Cape Cod

Come explore Cape Cod's second summer and enjoy beautiful cooler weather with milder temps – but without the crowds. Cape Cod's shoulder season should not be missed, with its endless shimmering ocean views contrasting against the season's vibrant rich fall foliage and vermillion-saturated cranberry bogs. Escape the long lines and enjoy the Cape's outdoor activities, along with some solitude.

Great location, inviting property.

House was secluded and very private. Location was great to walk to restaurants and ferry. All the amenities needed for our stay. Difficulty in getting into the property. Could have used more towels and better instructions to use TVs and found no way to even turn on the fireplace. would stay again

Great location

Perfect location! The house was well appointed. The beds were comfortable. The entry level (ground floor) had a bit of a pet smell. The owner has a dehumidifier in the lower kitchen area and it worked all week long to keep up with the humidity.

Great Location Family Friendly

Amazing vacation home!! Spacious and clean with ample space for a large group. Large family room and kitchen/dining area for meals. Kitchen has everything one could need for entertaining. Backyard hot tub, fire pit and putting green for outside activities was very fun. Walking distance to ferry to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, restaurants & bars. Highly recommend this home for a visit to the Cape!!

Wonderful Location, Spacious House

We had a wonderful time in Hyannis, the location was perfect to walk to dinner, drinks, downtown and the ferry. The house had plenty of room for 10 adults. Lots of small areas to get some quiet relation away from the group, while also having plenty of room to all get together and share a meal or watch a movie or lay in the sun.

Ideally located Cape Cod getaway

Just back from 1 week stay and give this property high reviews. Location is right across the street from the Hy-Line ferry lots which at first made us concerned it would be noisy/ too much traffic but turned out not to be a problem. In fact we twice used the high speed ferry (day trips to Nantucket and MV) and was great to have a 4 minute walk each way. House is nicely appointed and the hot tub was a bonus. We would definitely return.

Great Vacation Home!

Charming By The Harbor is a great vacation home. We absolutely loved it! There was plenty of room for my family of 8 and our dog. The house is beautifully decorated and very clean! It's conveniently located near the Ferry to Martha"s Vineyard/Nanatucket, walking distance to a number of shops and restaurants, and less than a 10 minute drive to a major grocery store. There were beaches nearby to choose from and lots to do on a rainy day as well. So much fun to sit around the fire pit and toast marshmallows! What also made our vacation so memorable was having Dawn as our guest concierge. She was excellent!. So responsive day or night, texted her with questions they were answered quickly and if any problems with the house, promptly addressed. I highly recommend Charming By The Harbor, you'll love it as much as we did! Debra C.

Old Friends Reunion

Rented for a reunion with longtime friends. The Pictures did not lie. Stunning place. Photos are an accurate representation of the state of the place, which is to say immaculate and clean. Manager/Host was very accommodative of special requests. Location could not be more convenient. No real need for car. Only regret is we did not stay long enough to take advantage of everything: Putt putt, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, 2 kitchens, Grill, amazing tv area, formal dining area and on and on. Highly recommend.

Fun Family Escape

Charming by the Harbor is just that and more. Our stay was just shy of a full week, but it was packed with so much to see and do. The house is very close to the ferry to Nantucket and the boats to go fishing. We even saw a Pirate Ship that would be a great excursion for those with young ones. We were in walking distance to the Main Street shops, cafés and restaurants. Short drive to the grocery stores, mall, and mini golf. We were lucky to arrive off season so no need for beach passes, but if needed the house comes with one for parking. The beaches are beautiful and the nearby hiking trails wonderful. Our fishing trip did not disappoint...came home with some freshly caught dinner. While in the heart of a hopping area, we always felt very private. The hot tub was wonderful, the beds comfortable and no shortage of comforts of home throughout. Thank you Chris, Dawn and our host homeowners. Charming by the Harbor was beautiful.

Amazing location, gorgeous house, and wonderful hosts!

This house is a perfect location to walk into the town of Barnstable, to the water, and even to walk down to some of the closest beaches. The house is beautifully maintained and set off from the street so that kids and pets are safe from traffic. Plenty of parking is available, plenty of space to spend time indoors or outdoors, and enough space for a large family to all stay together. The hosts were very responsive and flexible. Would absolutely stay here again.

Fabulous family fun

Place was exactly what it looked like online but it was bigger and better than we thought! There were 6 of us-2 parents our 4 young adult children and our dog and we had so much space. Nice amenities. Jacuzzi every night. Walked to beach and town. Only drive was to whale watching on other side of cape cod. But Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket ferry’s were right down the street from us. Loved it!
