Views of the water

Just steps from the sandy shoreline of Nantucket Sound, this beautifully renovated beach house offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and modern style in the heart of Harwich Port. Thoughtfully designed and filled with unique local artwork, the home features inviting living spaces, tasteful furnishings, and glimpses of the water that enhance its relaxed seaside atmosphere. The updated kitchen, multiple dining areas, and comfortable gathering spaces create an ideal setting for spending quality time together after a day by the beach. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a private patio featuring a custom outdoor kitchen, generous lounge seating, and plenty of space to enjoy the fresh ocean air. A screened porch provides another welcoming spot to relax with morning coffee or unwind in the evening sea breeze. With the beach just moments from the front door and Harwich Port Village within easy walking distance, guests can effortlessly enjoy local restaurants, shops, and the vibrant coastal character that makes this area such a beloved Cape Cod destination.

KEY Curation Notes

Two houses from the beach on Nantucket Sound, with ocean views from nearly every room — this is the property's defining feature, and it's a genuine one. The warm, calm water of Nantucket Sound is steps from the front door, with Harwich Port village a half-mile walk in the other direction.

Remodeled throughout with a coastal-chic aesthetic — central AC, upscale finishes, a well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar, two separate dining areas, and an oversized sectional in the main living room. The layout is notably well-suited for a group of six despite being a 3BR footprint.

Private patio with outdoor dining and privacy plantings — no pool, but with the beach 15 seconds away the outdoor focus is naturally the water. A stacked washer/dryer off the entry mudroom is positioned perfectly for dropping beach towels on the way in.

Harwich Port village is under a half-mile away — dining, shops, harbor walks, and Allen Harbor are all accessible on foot. The Cape Cod Rail Trail access is about 1.8 miles up the road for biking days.

Parking for two cars only — worth noting for any group arriving in separate vehicles. Peak season rents Saturday to Saturday with a seven-night minimum. Pets considered. Linens included. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery so you arrive fully stocked.

Location

Inside the destination

Neighborhood: Harwich Port - Located just three houses back from Nantucket Sound, and a gorgeous sandy beach with water views. - The beach is 15 seconds and Harwich Port Village is under 10 minutes away.

Parking information

- There is parking for two cars only at the property. - 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.

Reviews

Diana

The 15 second walk to the beach is not an exaggeration! The location of this house is fantastic. We were able to take multiple trips “to the beach” each day without pressure to stay or have to pack up a massive amount of stuff - if we forgot something (or needed to use the bathroom), we just walked back to the house. We were able to also walk to Dunkin for coffee / breakfast stuff and into town easily. The street was super quiet and the neighbors were friendly, while keeping to themselves. The house is well equipped with nice all clad pots, sharp knives, and sufficient bedding. The house was nicely decorated, comfortable, and made for a lovely stay!
