Wychmere Heights
Just across from picturesque Wychmere Harbor, “Wychmere Heights” is a magnificent Harwich Port estate where coastal glamour meets easygoing Cape Cod living. Set on an acre, this 6,000+ sq ft retreat sleeps up to 18 across eight bedrooms and seven and a half bath, with generous indoor–outdoor spaces made for lingering. A brand-new heated 20’×40’ saltwater pool anchors the private backyard, wrapped by a spacious patio with chaise lounges and alfresco dining for 18; an auto-safety cover adds peace of mind. Lush, irrigated lawns invite games, sunshine, and serene evenings under coastal skies. Inside, light-filled gathering zones flow from a stylish living room to dual dining tables for 18 and an updated entertainer’s kitchen with waterfall granite and bar seating, each opening to the pool. Sleeping quarters are thoughtfully arranged: two king primary suites on the main level; a quiet two-bedroom wing with den; a lower-level king with TV lounge, game room, and bath; and three upstairs bedrooms, several with en-suite baths. From the door, it’s a short walk to Harwich Port Village, Saquatucket Harbor’s charters and ferry to Nantucket, and Merkel Beach on Nantucket Sound, an ideal home base for celebrations at nearby Wychmere Beach Club. Polished, private, and effortless, this is coastal living at its most memorable.

Location
Inside the destination
Neighborhood: Wychmere Harbor Harwich Port - From the house, you can head west into Harwich Port Village, about a 7-minute walk. The village has several dining and bar options to choose from. There’s also ice cream, boutiques, and art studios to browse. It’s a charming village center that features Port Summer Nights on Wednesdays in the summer. The streets are closed to vehicle traffic and the area is festive with live music, food trucks and other attractions. Saquatucket Harbor - You can also head just east to Saquatucket Harbor. There are waterfront dining options here as well as a great selection of charter boats on which to get out on the water with a rod and reel. Or, head out to Nantucket for the day. The Freedom Ferry will have you over to the island in just over an hour. - Don’t forget the beach. You can walk across the street and down Snow Inn Road to Merkel Beach, about a 10-minute walk from the house (half a mile). Here you have an expansive Nantucket Sound beach with the calm warm waters of the sound massaging the shoreline. Wychmere Harbor - Wychmere Harbor is a stone’s throw from the property and is one of the most photographed vistas on the Cape. Wychmere is also home to the Wychmere Beach Club. The club is private but is very popular for weddings and events. “Wychmere Heights” is uniquely set up to welcome guests of events for long weekends in the shoulder seasons.
Parking information
During peak hours at town beaches, parking stickers are required. Of course, most of our properties are directly on or within easy walking distance of private, neighborhood association beaches, so no pass is required. For those properties that aren’t right on or within walking distance a pass is necessary. You can stop by the town offices to pick up a weekly pass or pay per visit. Beach passes are issued by vehicle so are not transferable.

Another wonderful week in Harwichport. The house is spacious. Had everything we needed. It is conveniently located to town and a small beach. We walked into town daily for coffee..oysters…shopping. As for the house…the pool area is beautiful. The home is very well maintained. Any questions were answered within the hour if not sooner. Highly Highly recommend this rental.
