About this property

Escape to Harwichport-Your Perfect Cape Cod Getaway

Welcome to our charming Cape Cod vacation rental, nestled just behind the Harwichport (public) Golf Club and only a fifteen-minute walk to the shops and restaurants of vibrant Harwichport center. Whether you're a small or extended family, couples vacationing together, or a group of friends, our freshly updated, classic Cape with a nautical theme is the ideal retreat.

Walk or bike to Sea Street beach-it’s just a mile away, along quiet streets with sidewalks and street lights-and enjoy golfers crossing as you pass through the club’s manicured greens. Murphy’s General and Reed Books are even closer. You can easily bike to Bank Street, Pleasant Road… and don’t forget to stop by Harwichport town hall for a beach sticker granting parking access to 21 beautiful beaches! If you love outdoor activities, you'll appreciate the easy access to the Nantucket Ferry, Rail Trail and bike rentals. Plus, a quick bike ride takes you to Go-Karts, bumper boats, batting cages, or mini-golf, and sports enthusiasts will enjoy watching Mariners' Cape League games at Monomoy High School.

Nestled on a tranquil neighborhood street, you won't have to worry about traffic noise. After a day of exploring, relax in the private backyard adorned with crushed shells, perennial plantings and shaded spots for both children and adults to unwind after a fun-filled day at the beach.

The main bedroom offers a queen bed with a summer goose down comforter and fresh white duvet covers for your comfort. Enjoy the Cape air and soothing birdsongs with open windows or use the window air conditioning units on hot summer days. The second bedroom has two twin beds that can be combined to create a king-size bed, along with children's books, a beach bag, and games. Both bedrooms have light filtering blinds, and sound sleeping is ensured in the living room, thanks to the light-blocking curtains. The living room also features one full-size and a second twin-size sofa that can easily be converted into beds. On cooler nights, the functional wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere, while electric baseboard heat keeps the space warm.

The bright white kitchen with a butcher block counter exudes classic Cape Cod charm. You'll find stainless appliances, an Acacia table, and overstuffed chairs - all fresh and new. Stocked with everything you need for cooking - from pans to porcelain dishes and even giant ice cube trays - the clean cabinets offer ample food storage space. The newly tiled bathroom boasts bright fixtures, plenty of towels, a pedestal sink, and a generous closet.

Take advantage of the outdoors by relaxing in the Adirondack chairs, sipping wine, and grilling burgers or steak on the gas Weber grill. The spacious outdoor table is perfect for dining, and the fire pit adds a delightful touch for s'mores after dinner. For your convenience, there's a new washer and dryer in the basement, perfect for all your beach towels and swimsuits. Don’t forget to bask in the sun while you rinse off the sand and inhale the cedar of the outdoor shower after your beach day!

Discover Harwichport, the best that Cape Cod has to offer! Book your unforgettable vacation now.

If you have any questions or want to make a reservation, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to hosting you at our delightful Cape Cod getaway!

Harwich Port Vacation

We stayed 5 nights and the property checked all the boxes we needed. Nice, central location. We were out exploring most of the time and found the house a nice place to come back to. We loved sitting in the large family space which was nice and bright.

Quaint Cape Cod

The house was cute and provided all of the amenities needed for our family vacation. The location was perfect for exploring the quaint little town of Harwich Port via foot, bike or car and for exploring the rest of the Cape via car. We'd definitely return.

It was a perfect getaway!

We loved the house and Harwich Port. It’s close enough to bike to the Cape Cod Rail Trail or a walk to Main Street. Four minute drive to the Wychmere Beach Club for a wedding.

Perfect location for a weekend with friends

This house was perfect for our weekend in Harwichport. Kristen was very communicative and was able to get us in a little early so we could work from the house before our weekend began. We were close enough to downtown to walk and also super close to Bank st Beach. We will be renting again next year I’m sure!

Harwich Port / Cape Cod Getaway

The cottage was perfect for our needs. Situated in a very peaceful neighborhood only minutes from downtown....we loved the location! The cottage was well appointed and very comfortable. We enjoyed the modern kitchen and a couple fires in the fireplace when the weather turned rainy. All in all, we enjoyed this property very much and would recommend it to those looking for a charming getaway. Our host Kristen was very responsive and friendly and handled our inquiry within minutes.

Clean and comfortable Cape getaway, centrally located

Lovely place centrally located in the mid Cape. We didn't need to drive much to get to any of the places we wanted to go. The house was very clean and well-appointed with modern appliances and comfortable beds. Kristen is a fantastic host and very responsive! The location is very close to Harwich Port with its many shops and restaurants. Sundae School ice cream was a hit with the kids! Only downside is that despite being close to downtown the roads in to town do not have sidewalks or much of a shoulder, making walking a little challenging.

Long Weekend Fall Family Getaway

We loved our stay this fall! Our family of four found the house to be the perfect home base for a weekend of exploring. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to bike trails, beaches on both bay and Atlantic sides, and several cute towns. The house is bright and incredibly clean, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is well stocked, the shower pressure is great, and the living space was wonderful for relaxing after long days adventuring around. Our two kids <10 really enjoyed finding some books at their reading level in the bookcase. Kristen is also incredibly responsive and great to communicate with. We found her house after a last minute scramble when our prior booking cancelled on us a day before arrival. She went above and beyond to help, and even had a light left on for us because she knew we were arriving late in the evening. We just wish we had more time this trip, but we will be back!

Good memories !

Kristen’s house is adorable and clean. She was easy to get a hold of if needed. Location is perfect. Quiet neighborhood. Close to town, beaches, bike path and golf. My kids loved the visits from the neighbors cat! The six of us fit in the house fine. It may be a tough fit for a family of 6 on rainy days. Kitchen table fits four people but you can sit outside and eat on the patio. Kristen has a bin of family games and books which my kids enjoyed. We are grateful to Kristen for sharing her house with us !

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Lamoreau

Host profile image
We love Harwichport and wish we could be there all summer! But we can’t - so we want to share our favorite part of the world with others. Kristen is from northern Maine (now an optometrist in Boston) and Dave is from Watertown, Massachusetts (now working in insurance). We live in Weston, Massachusetts, and we fell in love with Harwichport when our boys were small. We were fortunate enough to find this lovely house to put down roots, but baseball calls! Summer tournaments have is all over the east coast; so we want to share this space with others. We are delighted that you can use it too.

Why they chose this property

This street is perfect for little kids - quiet and safe for riding bikes and playing in the yard. Our teenage boys love it too but they would be happy anywhere that there is WiFi. I will see my grandkids playing here one day, but in the meantime it is a good place to share with families who can appreciate the magic of the Cape. I love that it is walkable or bikeable to anything in Harwichport - shops, rail trail, beach, or baseball fields.

What makes this property unique

Waking up in the morning to birdsongs through open windows. Walking to town, biking to the beach, and having the kids and their friends have the independence to do so safely while I bask in the sun is the beauty of this little home
