About this property

Harwich Cape Escape: Minutes from Everything!

Harwich Cape Escape: 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, Sleeps 8

This beautiful two-story 4BR/2.5 BA Cape Cod home features almost 1,700 square feet of pristine living space perfect for a weekend getaway for two, a family trip, or a large group outing. It has an open floor plan with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and central AC throughout. The gourmet kitchen is big, bright and a great place to hang out. The private backyard features an outdoor shower and a huge patio with a fire pit.

Best Location on the Cape!
One of the best things about the house is that you can get almost anywhere within minutes. If you are looking for shopping and restaurants in downtown areas like Harwich Port, Orleans, Brewster and Chatham, they are all just over 10 minutes away. If you are looking to relax on a beach there are numerous beaches, bay and ocean side, that are within a quick 10-15 minute drive. Many of the Cape’s great wedding facilities like Wequassett Resort, Ocean Edge and Wychmere Harbor are all within a 10-minute drive. We have three public golf courses all within 15 minutes with The Captains Golf Course in Brewster being less than 5 minutes away. If you are looking for fresh water swimming, fishing or kayaking, you can find them all less than 10 minutes away. Want to enjoy the bike trails of Cape Cod? Those are also less than 10 minutes away. I think you get the picture that we are literally minutes away from all the excitement that the Cape has to offer!

First Floor: Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room and Patio
The kitchen has cherry cabinets and a huge center island for family gatherings. There are 3 stools at the island and an over-sized dining room table that seats 10 comfortably. This room flows into the family room, where you will find 2 over-sized couches, with plenty of seating. Also off the kitchen is the fenced in backyard, where you will find a massive patio with furniture, a fire pit, grill and an outdoor shower.

First Floor: Primary Bedroom, Full Bath, and Guest Bath/Laundry Room
On the first floor, the primary bedroom has a king-size bed (new mattress), large closets and an en suite bathroom with a shower, tub and everything you need -- towels, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc. Down the hall is a half bath where you will find the washer and dryer.

Second Floor: 3 Bedrooms and Full Bath
Upstairs, the second bedroom is furnished with a queen bed (new mattress), desk and dresser. The third bedroom is comfortably furnished with bunk bed (2 singles), and a twin bed with a trundle. The bonus room has a brand new sleeper sofa and over-sized chair with ottoman. There is also a TV in that room, with Xbox One and a Nintendo Wii video game console with plenty of games for the kids on a rainy day. Also on the second floor is a full bath with a shower/tub and everything you need -- towels, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc.

EXTRA AMENITIES
Extra amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, and plenty of parking in the driveway. This family-friendly home provides toys, games, and beach chairs. Since we have kids too, we brought some baby toys (including a high chair and pack-and-play so you don’t have to bring your own). In the basement we also have a ping pong table, small pool table, and arcade basketball game for those with a competitive spirit!

Family adventure

Our family of 7 spent only two days in this lovely home. It was our first visit to Cape Cod but the amazingly beautiful weather, great swimming ponds, many lobster rolls and a home to return to after beach walks made this a perfect stop over on our New England road trip. Lynn

Great getaway

Came to the town to attend a friends wedding. Did not spend much time at the house but we know we want to return just to enjoy the house. The back yard, fire pit, and lounge area are so inviting. I can honestly say it would be a perfect vacation house if you're looking to get away and relax. Very clean and owners detailed expectations which was great!

Great Memorial Day Weekend.

Great house. Clean and well stocked. Convenient location. Extremely responsive host. She even went so far as to send us supplemental activity suggestions for things to do with the kids in the area when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Great experience and would highly recommend.

Comfortable Stay!

This was our fifth time staying on the Cape and the Harwich Cape Escape has been our favorite house! The home is very clean and Heather has added lots of helpful and generous amenities: bed linens, soap/shower products, beach towels, paper towels and dish soap to start, beach chairs and wagon. Beds were comfortable and shower was nice. The home is spacious with plenty of living/dining seating. Heather is very responsive and answered our questions quickly. We cooked a lot and there are plenty of kitchen items to make full meals. It was a great stay!

Great family weekend

This was the perfect house and perfect stay for our family of 7 (includes a toddler). The house had everything we needed, was a perfect location (Harwich and Brewster), and we ended the day with a fire in their pit (surrounded by plenty of adirondeck chairs). I’m adding this home as a favorite so we can do a “repeat”.

Super clean and comfortable!

Everything about our stay was wonderful and the home exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is quiet and the yard is private. The home was very clean and comfortable for my husband and I and our three children. There would have been plenty of space for a larger group. The location is great and an easy drive to everything in Harwich Port, Chatham, Brewster, Orleans and Eastham. The kids enjoyed the outside shower, the basement space to play on the day it was drizzly outside, and the game consoles in the extra room ... I thought we were out of luck when the console remotes were dead but we found extra batteries in the kitchen drawer! :) Great house and great hosts! Thank you!

Family Gathering

Came into town for a funeral with relatives from as far as London. Although we were in town for a sad occasion we were able to have family stay together in a very comfortable, well decorated relaxing house. There was enough room for all of us to be together for meals and interaction with the open floor plan. Beautiful well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room and spacious dining room with large table for all. Thank you for your accommodations and beautiful atmosphere during a difficult time.

Wonderful!

No complaints at all regarding this VERY nice Harwich property! Have been coming to the Cape for awhile now and this house certainly stands out as one of the most well stocked, quiet, clean, and best outdoor space of all of them so far! Not to mention, it was equipped with everything (and more) you could ever need for an infant or toddler. Heather was extremely responsive, helpful, and courteous and the loaction was perfect. We highly recommend this rental!
