Owners Share Why I Love My Home:
We love our Cape Cod Cottage (aka Whip O Will Woods), down the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the pitch pine woods of historic Harwich. After a busy day taking in all that Cape Cod has to offer, you can retreat to our pet-friendly sanctuary and sip a glass of your favorite beverage on the large screened porch and listen to the sounds of the whip-o-wills and the chickadees as the sun sets on another marvelous day.
Let Us Tell You About This Home:
You will enter through a side entry into an open eat-in kitchen that is sunny and bright. The dining table offers seating for 6.
Off the kitchen is a screened in sun-porch, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon sun. There's also a small porch that lets the breeze and the bird songs come through. Just off the porch around back, you will find the outdoor shower, a Cape Cod tradition. Great for rinsing off the sand and saltwater after a day well spent at the beach!
Beyond the kitchen is the living room with a Queen sleep sofa, a flat screen TV and free WiFi. Enjoy board games or even a puzzle on the large coffee table. Lots of comfy seating for all to relax and gather together. The gas fireplace is perfect for a chilly night as the summer season winds down.
Down the hallway are the 2 Bedrooms (both with newer beds), AC units, and a full bathroom with a shower. There is also a stackable washer/dryer for your convenience.
Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed and Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds. Perfect for small families or two couples!
New for 2022 now you can enjoy the beautiful Cape Cod evenings around the new Fire table on the Patio!

Close to bike trails, mobile market, Harwich Center. House is good for a small group and as advertised.
Property was fine with a few concerns. There are LOTS of coyotes in the area. Was warned by neighbor upon arrival not to let dog out at all w/o being present. For a smaller breed, this could be a disaster. We heard them often, very close, and saw one lg one in driveway...in the daylight. Battled spiders all week...one night, killed around a dozen. I HATE spiders and if bigger would have contacted manager...needs treatment. Odd selection of dishes and no good storage for non perishable foods. Game selection was random and parts missing to some.
Cottage is a bit dated but well maintained. Very relaxing setting adjacent to woods and private homes. A good deal for the price point.
Cute little house close to many of the nicest beaches, restaurants and shops on the Cape. My only complaint is that I wish the air conditioners were a little cleaner- I have terrible allergies and the filter were very dirty. Otherwise, a great stay in a lovely, clean cottage.
Good solid experience...small house but nice.
The house was great! Clean and very comfortable. Our only complaint were the bugs. It's either a window was slightly open of which we're not aware or the a/c window units were not properly sealed. Other than that, the house was lovely! We certainly appreciated having a/c throughout and how clean the place was. Loved seeing a completely empty and pristine refrigerator! Also, I thought customer service was top notch. We were there when the tornado hit Harwich and contacting New England Vacations was not an issue at all. Back and forth communications were open and productive which we immensely appreciated.
Was a very nice, well located cabin. The furnishings and yard were great.
My family and I enjoyed this house. It is dated, and you cannot use more than one appliance at a time or it will blow a fuse. It smells a little musky, all of my belongings had to be washed (But had not been worn) because of this. There are no linens. The house is quite small, but well maintained. Beaches such a Cold Storage and Mayflower are 20 minutes away, and you have to get there prior to 7:30 am or you will not get a spot. The town beach is nice but extremely small and only about 5-10 minutes away. Many items are already in the home such as extra soap for dishwasher/saran wrap/pots/pans/laundry soap. I wish I had known this prior to staying as I packed many items I did not need. This is a cute little house, but we would want something a little bit bigger the next time we go to the cape, just my own preference. Dunkin Donuts is a short walk at the end of the road! VRBO was very good and prompt at returning my call and answering any questions that I had.
