HARWICH PORT SPECIAL PLACE inquire about long-term

Overall, it’s a great house in a great area close to town 20 minute walk to the beach. The house needs a little bit of TLC especially the outside.

The house was clean and nicely decorated. Well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, and linens and plenty of room! Very pleasant and comfortable.Great location! Short walk to center of town and the beach.

We had a peaceful week in a great location. Check in was easy and the house had everything we needed.

Really enjoyed our stay. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room. Kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms were nice, beds were very comfortable. The outside porch and fire pit area was truly a bonus. The negatives (not many). Confusion about trash pickup. Book said Monday. We put it out Sunday night, it didn’t get picked up until Thursday. Internet was non functional until Tuesday afternoon. Not a big deal unless you have to pay for your cellular, then it’s a problem. The biggest thing for me was nowhere in the Vrbo listing did it state if you use the linens, towels, sheets etc. you had to wash and fold and put away before you leave because the cleaners didn’t have time to do it. We had to drop people off at airport to catch flights so we didn’t have time to do it. It should state that in the listing. If we had known that we would have brought our own sheets and towels. Again those were the only negatives. Not many. The stay was great otherwise. The location is pretty perfect. Within walking distance to town. It was a great week. Thank you.

Let me start off with the location of the house is great and it allows small pets. The house needs major repairs to the outside of the house. There are holes in the wood of the house. Bring your own sheets & towels. The ones there have blood stains & are filthy. Appliances are filthy except for the refrigerator which was clean. No tv as they don’t have cable. The internet is really weak, we didn’t even connect. The fire pit area we couldn’t even sit at as it looks like previous guest left behind garbage & dishes.

Pros: Lovely inside with plenty of room and all the amenities you would need. My grandkids loved the upstairs loft room and had a few pajama parties up there. Window AC units worked well. Cons: There were 2 toasters there but neither one worked. The gas grill was rusty and we couldn’t get it to turn on. The outside is a little overgrown and could use a landscapers touch. The .7 mile walk to the beach was a bit much for little ones and only residents can park there. We all had a wonderful time!

House had plenty of beds sheets blankets and towels. Had to call owner for a few snags and questions, but they were promptly answered and handled. Location is great and plenty of parking spots. Rental is a full blown house with all convenience of your regular home. House is actually bigger than I expected and has a nice deck out back for relaxing. We made use of outdoor firepit and even left wood for next tenants. All in all, great rental property and I would stay here again no problem.

WiFi is weak, Roku didn't really work, but not a big deal for us. A lot of space and very comfy and peaceful.

We did not enjoy our stay in this home. We visited Harwichport over Labor Day so options were limited. I'll start with the good stuff, the place was affordable and slept a ton of people. There was plenty of space and the outdoor area was nice. However, when we arrived at the house on Friday, all of the doors had been left unlocked. As we arrived late at night, this did not make the house feel particularly safe, especially given that the back slider appears to have a broken lock and rely on 2x4s in the door for safety. We also noted that though the beds were made up, the sheets had clearly not been changed from the previous renters. There was dog hair, sand, dirt, and even what looked like blood on the bedding. Finally, one of the two bathrooms in the home was not functional. We were told this after check-in and since we were not informed what about the bathroom did not work, we could not use any of it, limiting us to one bathroom. Though we were told someone was being sent Saturday to fix it, no one arrived and no further communication was received. Paying for a home with 2 bathrooms and only being able to use one, when coming and going from the beach, is extremely disappointing.

I highly recommend this place and look forward to rebooking it. The place has everything you need except for toilet paper, paper towels, bath soap, working lightbulbs in some parts of the rooms like the dining room near the kitchen, and most importantly, an a/c in the upstairs attic bedroom space (2 fans are provided and it was warm) as well as an actual body mirror as the one in the linen closet which was hidden out of sight and blurred). communication with host was ok not great and not flexible with allowing guests to check in early or check out late. Be mindful that the host has neighbors who keep tabs on the place. The host must install spotlights in the front and the back of the house. It's pitch black. Oh, and it could use landscaping maintenance. The bedroom with a size bed had a stand-in shower, but the bathroom pipes were loud. Also, it has a musty cape smell, and I purchased a candle to make it smell better. Overall, beautiful spot

Very convenient location, nice location, plenty of room for our group! And being a dog friendly rental was thrilled with the yard. The outside deck was very nice to sit at, very comfortable
