Red River Rental

Very spacious home, there were 5 of us so we all had our own bedrooms, but house could certainly hold a much larger group. Nice centrally located family room to gather to watch tv. Large, fenced back yard, with outdoor shower. Owner/host was exceptionally responsive. It should be noted that entry to home sits up a small hill and bedrooms are on 2nd floor so may pose a problem if guests have any mobility issues

Great place for a wedding party at the Cape

Great property! Nearby grocery store and lots of restaurants. Spacious property with fun backyard. It was a great space for a group of college friends to catch up and get ready for a wedding :) Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive. Will definitely stay there again next time I’m at the cape.

Family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay. A little disappointed in the proximity of the house and the beach. The walk to the beach was difficult since to walk there you need to share the road with fast moving traffic and no soft shoulder. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable for a multigenerational family

The home is at end of a quiet cul de sac with fenced in back yard. From the garage side of home, you see all greenery. It is comfortable and private with easy beach access. The outdoor shower is great and there are plenty of bathrooms for a group. A nice array of cooking provisions are provided as well as dining in or out options.It is nice to be so close to both Harwichport and Chatham.

Lovely house on a quiet cul-de-sac

We enjoyed the house and it worked well for a family with young children, there was plenty of room to spread out and find a quiet spot or enjoy a family game. The yard was very nice. The location is great, in easy access to everything in Harwich. Elizabeth was very responsive to all our questions and worked us with to make the stay pleasant. While the property is accurately listed on VRBO, I do wish that I had know that I would have to sign a fairly restrictive contract before I booked the property. Elizabeth and I were able to work out a compromise that suited both of us in the end. I just think it is good to know about the need to sign a contract when you are thinking about booking a reservation.

The property is set up to accommodate two separate living spaces with plenty of bathrooms. A fun rambling home! Near enough to beach to do drop offs and pick ups with ease. Kitchen was well equipped. Meat thermometer? Yup. Birthday candles? Yup! Stay was not long enough. Perhaps we should return…..

A welcoming and relaxing retreat!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at your home! The house was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals and it was especially nice to have the fire pit and beach chairs available. All of my communication with the homeowner was very positive and any communication was answered very quickly. I am hoping to return to this property in the future. It was a perfect location to explore Cape Cod!

Well equipped for large family beach getaway

Great location. More than enough space for 8 adults and two toddlers. House was very clean. Amenities and accessories accurately described. Elizabeth was gracious and very accessible. Only drawback was musty odor in rooms over garage which went away as week progressed (kept on young adults about keeping garage access doors closed).

3 weeks away from home during Corona

Me, my wife and two adult children were living at home after kids were sent home from college. We were looking for a change of scenery. This house fit the bill perfectly. We were able to have significant time together and also had plenty of room for when we wanted to spread out. We did not buy any beach passes. We walked or biked to the beach several times and sometimes just dropped people off. It was a good location for traveling to different parts of the cape for day trips. Owners were very attentive and the place was clean. We very much enjoyed this trip.

Wonderful Family Vacation Rental on Cape

We loved our stay at Elizabeth and Dan's place. They communicated with us about important information and expectations well in advance of our stay and gave us a thoughtful welcome gift. The house was well spaced, giving privacy to all our guests while also having large communal areas for eating and playing games. We enjoyed time around the campfire and walking to the beach (a 30 minute walk but pretty easy). There are also delicious lobster rolls on the corner. We would highly recommend this place to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Johnston-O'Connor

Host profile image
We are long-time lovers of Cape Cod - it's natural beauty, opportunities for exploration, relaxation, and more. With a family of six, now expanded to nine with two marriages and a grandchild, we find the Cape is a wonderful place to have fun and reconnect. We were delighted to make a formal commitment to the Cape by purchasing our home in 2009.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in a great location to reach anything on the Cape! We were especially attracted to this house because we knew we could have our adult children with their families, for all to enjoy being together yet offering privacy with the south wing, which accommodates 5 people. We like to walk to Red River Beach, drive 15 minutes to Nauset Beach, enjoy nature, a nice meal at home in our ample dining room or outdoors with the grill in our fenced in backyard. If some like to walk to the beach and others prefer to ride, we sometimes have a "walker" drive to the beach and leave the riders. Then the driver returns to the house and walks down to the beach. There also are many nearby restaurants. We especially like Buca's around the corner from our street for a special night out. Yum! The drive-in theater is an annual must for us. We are often astounded that after more than 50 years of visiting the Cape, we still find something new to do every year!

What makes this property unique

As described above, this house has plenty of room (2,700 sq. ft.) and can accommodate two families, particularly multi-generations, offering privacy and yet togetherness. We enjoy walking or cycling to Red River Beach, viewing the adjacent Red River Conservation area, and the quiet and safety of our cul de sac location and fenced backyard.
