Just across from the iconic Wychmere Harbor, Wychmere Heights is a magnificent Harwich Port estate designed for unforgettable Cape Cod gatherings. Set on a sprawling one-acre property, this impressive 6,500-square-foot retreat offers nine bedrooms, seven full baths, and expansive indoor living spaces that comfortably accommodate up to 20 guests. Thoughtfully designed for both connection and privacy, the home features multiple king suites, inviting lounges, a game room, and a beautifully updated kitchen with premium appliances, dual dishwashers, and generous dining space for large groups. Whether enjoying a meal together, relaxing by the firepit, or gathering in the spacious living areas, every detail encourages effortless coastal living. Outside, a private resort-style setting awaits. The heated 20x40 saltwater pool serves as the centerpiece of the outdoor space, surrounded by a sun-drenched patio, abundant lounge seating, a hot tub, and a gas firepit for evenings under the stars. A lush lawn and children's playset provide additional room for recreation and relaxation. From the property, Harwich Port Village is just a short stroll away, offering charming boutiques, restaurants, ice cream shops, and seasonal entertainment, while nearby Saquatucket Harbor provides ferry service to Nantucket and waterfront dining. The warm sands of Nantucket Sound are also within walking distance, making Wychmere Heights an exceptional home base for experiencing the very best of Cape Cod.

KEY Curation Notes

Heated 20x40 saltwater pool with a standalone hot tub and gas fire pit. The pool has an auto-safety cover and is open Memorial Day through Columbus Day.
Nine bedrooms across three levels sleep up to 20. Four bedrooms on the main floor include two king suites with private baths and a two-bedroom wing with a den — a good setup for a family that wants separation from the larger group. The lower level has a king suite, TV lounge, and game room. The four upstairs bedrooms include two king suites, a double/twin combo, and a bunk room with three twins and a queen.
Dining and entertaining at scale. Two dining tables seat 18–20 in a combined living and dining area. The kitchen has a waterfall granite counter, full bar area, two dishwashers, and sliders opening directly to the pool patio — functional for a large group cooking and hosting simultaneously.
Merkel Beach is a half-mile walk — about 10 minutes on foot — with calm, warm Nantucket Sound water.
Harwich Port Village is a 7-minute walk west. Dining, bars, boutiques, and the Port Summer Nights street festival (Wednesdays in summer, with live music and food trucks) are all within easy reach.
Saquatucket Harbor is just east with waterfront dining and charter boats. The Freedom Ferry to Nantucket departs from here — roughly an hour crossing.
Rents Friday to Friday during peak season with a seven-night minimum. Additional fees include a $245 reservation and damage protection charge, plus applicable state and local taxes.

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

- Garage parking. - 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.

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.
