Location
Inside the destination
Neighborhood: Harwich Port - Set on a spacious lot, just minutes from Harwich Port Center; located just over half a mile to Harwich Port for shopping, dining and perusing. Stumble over to Harwich Port Golf Course for a quick round as well. You’re just minutes by car to several beaches and harbors, including Bank Street Beach and Wychmere Harbor. The Cape Cod Rail Trail is just over a mile away. You are a quick car ride to Long Pond (largest freshwater lake on the Cape!), Chatham, Brewster or Dennis as well.
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.

James
Everything was great with the booking and well organized. The house fit our needs perfectly for a group of golfers. Plenty or rooms and beds, closer to downtown that they beach works better for us too. Parking was great as well. We would rent it again for sure.
