This was our second year staying at this location. We so love this home and the hosts are wonderful. The pool is beautiful and nice to have when you want to just relax. We highly recommend this home!!!
This was our second summer at Harwich House. It was already beautiful but the upgrades that were made over the winter made it even lovelier. The kitchen is fully stocked and spacious, the pool is great, as is the screened in porch. Even when the weather doesn't cooperate, it's a wonderful place to spend the day. Proximity to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, beaches and town are added benefits. In short: a great place to spend a week at the Cape.
We have stayed at this property for a week during 3 of the past 4 summers. The house just keeps getting better (as the owners have updated the property every year)! The house itself is very accommodating, comfortable and inviting! We love the decor which enhances the house in a rustic but also modern way. The pool area is a major plus and allows you to choose between beach days and poolside days…we often mix both and end up reading on the screened in porch. We’ve look forward to visiting again!!! We also love communicating with the owners who are always responsive and friendly!
This was our second year at the Harwich house, and once again it was wonderful for our family (two grandparents, two parents, and kids 4 and 6). Everything about the house was clean and convenient. Comfortable bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen and outdoor space. The backyard pool and location near park, bike trail, and restaurants made this house perfect for us.
Wonderful Cape Cod home for our family vacation, slept 4 adults and 2 kids comfortably. Our 6 year old and 4 year old loved the pool and walking to the neighborhood playground that was just 1 block away. Nice location that was a jumping off point to other cape destinations. Pool was a little chilly in the mornings but owners mentioned that pool heater was coming in 2023. Weather was warm at the end of August and we did use the air conditioners in the bedrooms at night. Great communication from owners who were available to answer any questions. Beds and pillows were comfortable for everyone. Highly recommend!
My experience with Matt + Britt was by far my best in many years of home rentals. Their home is beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and in a wonderful location. You have all that you need at your fingertips, and nothing you don't. The house is close to beach, bars and shops, but a quiet and peaceful oasis when home. Their communications from beginning to end are clear and helpful, warm and welcoming. Overall they enhance your vacation experience in every way.
Beautiful house! Our family had such a wonderful time in this house! We have vacationed in Cape Cod several times and this was our first stay at this location. It did not disappoint! Our kids loved the pool and spent most day swimming. The location was great for exploring all areas of the cape. The hosts were so gracious and helpful and made us feel so welcomed and cared for. I highly recommend this house!
We had an amazing family vacation at this lovely home. We so enjoyed the screened-in porch, saltwater pool, proximity to the Cape Cod biking trail as well as the well-appointed kitchen and furnishings. The fresh hydrangeas were a lovely touch that speaks to the attention to detail throughout. Matt was incredibly thoughtful and responsive. We would definitely return again and recommend it to others.
Beautiful spot on the Cape! This property has it all. It was sparkling clean, full of towels, gorgeous pool!! Close to everything we love. Matt was super responsive and able to help with anything we needed. We would definitely rent here again and really enjoyed our stay.
Wonderful home and yard in a great neighborhood! Close to park and playground, bike trail, other attractions. Backyard salt water pool made this the perfect vacation spot for our three-generation family. House is a very comfortable space, well-equipped and maintained. Owners very responsive! We will return next year!
Our third year running and planning for more- perfect combo of comfortable house, great location, superb pool, and responsive hosts. We love it!
Nothing but compliments here for Matt and Britt. From the moment we inquired to the moments after we checked out and even today, they were Always available to answer questions, make our stay perfect and offering recommendations. Beautifully renovated home, pool, screened porch, roomy and lots of details to make the stay like being at home. Walking distance to Town and close to the rail trail and all around the Cape. Highly recommend this property except when we want to rent. Love all the attention to detail.
This was my favorite rental experience thus far. I had booked this trip to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and my in-laws joined in as well. From the very start, Matt was a fantastic host and provided details about the home and nearby things to do. He was very quick to respond, and also checked in to ensure things were going smoothly. As far as the house- the house is beautiful, in great condition with beautiful furniture and anesthetic, and an extremely well stocked kitchen with quality cookware. We also enjoyed the screened porch and the amazing saltwater pool that was fun to dip into after a long bike ride on the rail trail. Our stay here was 100 % worth it, and we all want to come back again in the future.
This home was amazing! Well appointed, beautifully decorated, perfect location. We especially enjoyed the pool, screened in porch and vicinity to the bike trail & tennis courts. My daughter did a triathlon & this was the perfect home base for us. We can’t wait to come back. Matt went out of his way to make our stay easy & relaxing. Thank you SO much Matt & Britt!
