    We were pleased to be able to return to Homeport. Jerry, the new owner, was very responsive to our needs. The home is very much the same but there have been several noticeable improvements. We love the location near to John Joseph Pond and the two additional kayaks are a great addition. We look forward to returning in 2026.

    Our family recently stayed at this cozy cape cottage. This house has everything you need for the week. It has a well stocked kitchen if you want to cook and great location near many restaurant choices and activities. House has lots of space for family time and to spread out. We would stay again.

    We had a very nice stay in this clean and cozy Cape retreat! There was an extra TV room and sunroom which were a nice bonus that we were able to have a bit more space. There were 3 adults, a 4 year old and one dog and we were quite comfortable. The weather was pretty cool and rainy for most of our trip, so we did not utilize the deck or yard with firepit and bocce court, unfortunately. But looked like it would be nice with warmer/ drier weather. I was able to reach out to the listing agent as the description was that there were electronic locks on the door, but in fact there were not. The key was in a lock box behind the side deck, so hopefully they update the information provided for check in. I was panicking that I was looking like I was trying to break in and may have the wrong house! But walking around the house I was able to find the lock box. Only complaint would be that the microwave was not working and not able to get that fixed on our visit, but we were able to use the toaster oven for the limited times we needed to heat anything up. There was a beach down the street but they did not allow dogs (and it was cold and windy so we weren't making it a beach day, just walks) but we were able to drive a bit and get the last of the dog friendly beach days before the summer for the pup. 5 min away was gas, groceries, liquor store and a tavern style restaurant so easy access to things that you may need during your stay.

    The house is well maintained, very clean, and the furniture is comfortable. It's a short walk to the ponds, too. We will definitely stay here again!

    The home was centrally located and very near a nice lake for swimming, fishing, kayaking. The home was nicely decorated and beds were comfortable, home was clean and had nice space for a family. Kitchen was nicely stalked with dish/glassware pots and utensils. Linens and towels provided and ample supply. Cons- microwave was malfunctioning. There was a urine scent in living room and back door to porch did not close so had to be careful with dog getting out. Scanty supply of dish soap, bath soaps, trash bags, and toilet paper, coffee filters. Felt had to be mindful of usage with 5 adults. And upon check out, car was parked out front of house 20 minutes prior to check out. This was awkward. Otherwise. A pleasant stay.

    We had a great stay in Harwich. The place was very homey and in a great location. We also had some travel issues and they were very accommodating and willing to work with us. Easy communication, always available!

    This was our first experience with VRBO and renting a house for the week. The pictures and descriptions were accurate. The house was very clean upon arrival. They even had a little care package waiting for us. Cape Code chips and Salt Water Taffy and a thank you card. We just loved the little touches. Our three teen boys loved the single person kayaks already at the lake. We had many family dinners together in the beautiful kitchen and outside on the deck. The kitchen had many pots and pans, utensils. Basic spices. The bedrooms were very nicely decorated. Very clean and comfortable beds. We would love to come stay again. Very highly recommended.
