Our family uses the house for most of the summer, but we make it available for stays of 5 nights or longer in the offseason periods. Our relative proximity to Wychmere Harbor Club, Chatham Bars Inn and The Wequassett works well for extended families needing lodging for Weddings or other functions.

The outdoor shower offers a refreshing way to clean up after a day at the beach or anytime!

Fully remodeled Kitchen (2021) with white cabinetry and granite counters is fully equipped with all cookware, dishes and utensils to make your stay easy. New dishwasher, induction range, and microwave. Also includes new beverage bar in dining area with extra sink and prep/buffet space.

Guests will particularly enjoy the large deck at back of house which is a great place to hang after a day at the beach, with built in seating, as well as table for outdoor dining. For outdoor cooking, there is both a Weber propane gas grill and Camp Chef 4 burner griddle!

The basement gameroom offers ping pong, bumper pool, and foosball. Full size washer and dryer are also in the basement.

Red River Beach is 0.5 miles away and an easy walk or bike ride. The home is located in South Harwich, within short drive of many shops, restaurants, and groceries. Village of Harwichport is a 5 minute drive, and downtown Chatham shops less than 15 minute drive.

    House was in great location, clean, plenty of room with plenty of bathrooms. Short walk to Red River Beach, right off Rt. 28. Hosts were fantastic, responsive, house had many amenities-beach items, items for cooking. Would definitely recommend!

    House was great for our stay with multiple families. Well-equipped, usable kitchen and large living room. Short, easy walk to the beach. John was one of the best hosts I've experienced, great communication.

    A lovely house that’s an easy walk to an outstanding beach. The host was extremely thoughtful. He went out of his way to be kind and he was also very responsive. We accidentally locked ourselves out of a closet at one point and the problem was solved within minutes. Our party spanned three generations, and all were comfortable in the space. The house is equipped with a lot thoughtful details that made our stay so much easier. It was a joy and a privilege to spend the week here!

    A lovely property with all conveniences. The kitchen was better equipped than my own! The kids loved being together in the family room. There were enough games to stock a toy store. Communication with the owners was easy; they were very accommodating and even left a gift basket to welcome us.

    We were in Harwich for our son's wedding over Labor Day weekend. Owner was very flexible for the dates we needed. Multiple generations of family and house was perfect! Very well appointed, clean and great location with lots to do in the area. Would definitely come back again.

    We stayed here for a family get-together. While the most important thing is getting the family together, the house could not have been more perfect for us. It was exceptionally neat and clean, it had everything you could need, and had all the charm of a classic cape house. There was a short walk to beautiful Red River beach we took advantage of (despite it being very much shoulder season) and an excellent deck and barbecue setup that made for a great place to hang out while the kids played in the yard. Really can't thank John enough for being so accommodating for our family and communicative. If you're looking for a place to stay on the Cape, you can't go wrong here.

    Our Thanksgiving week stay at John & Laurie's Cape Cod home was superb! The house offered open space for gathering and private areas for retreat. The living room w/comfortable & ample seating easily accommodated us 9 people. The game table provided a separate area for arts, crafts, & puzzles. The newly renovated kitchen was the best equipped of any VRBO we have stayed in; several cooks could work together! The dining area w/extended leaf let us all share our T'giving meal at one table. We were unable to fully take advantage of the outdoor porch, but in warmer weather, it would be fantastic. The game room was an immense hit for our 5-7 year olds. The adults enjoyed ping pong while this grandmother pretended to play bumper pool with her grandchildren--an experience none of us will forget. Ever! The youngsters adored their private retreat upstairs w/its own TV & loved the many books available there. The 5 bedrooms offered more than sufficient space & privacy; the beds are extremely comfortable; we all loved the walk-in showers. The one bathtub was appreciated by the grandchild who needed one. There are more than ample supplies; stores are nearby if you need anything else. Our beach visits were New England at its brisk, but definitive best in the fall. We have lovely photos in coats with seagulls circling overhead, blue skies, & grandchildren climbing vacant lifeguard chairs! John is an exceptionally responsive host, attentive to any needs a group might have. He and Laurie truly want you to enjoy your time here. Our family thanks you both for the lovely surprise gifts, especially the thoughtful one left for the grandchildren! We are grateful to you for sharing your Cape home. I cannot think of anything else we could have needed. Most of all, we don't know how VRBO selects Super Hosts, but we would like to nominate you and see you advance to the top of the list! We would rate you 10 stars if we could! Thank you ever so much. P.S. We loved Marion's Pie Shop. Thanks for the tip!
