KEY Curation Notes

A c.1870 Gothic Revival manor, fully renovated and set on 1.2 manicured acres. The architecture is genuinely distinctive — decorative trim, metal ceilings, wood floors, and a spiral staircase to the third floor make this a house with real character rather than a generic renovation.
The 20x40 heated pool is one of the largest private pools in the area. Surrounded by chaise lounges, chairs, and a wood-burning fire pit, the pool deck is designed for all-day use. The hot tub spa on the back deck adds a separate option for evenings.
A converted barn serves as the group's game room. Ping pong, a card table, a smart TV, and assorted surprises are housed in their own dedicated structure — a true bonus space that separates the adults from the kids when needed.
Sleeps 16 across a flexible layout. Four proper bedrooms (king, queen, queen, and a bunk/multi-bed kids room) plus a third-floor hangout with two sofa beds gives the house real capacity. The primary suite upstairs features an oversized soaking tub that warrants its own mention.
Red River Beach is 1.2 miles away; Bank Street Beach is 1.9 miles. Both are short drives — no beach parking stress, but bring towels and chairs since the house provides beach gear.
Linens, towels, and beach gear are all provided. Pack light. Peak season is Sat-to-Sat only; shoulder seasons allow four-night minimum stays at a reduced rate. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before you arrive so the gourmet kitchen is ready from day one.

Reviews

Kathy G.

The Breathtaking Harwich Retreat is just that. This is an elegant home with a lot of fine detail. Upon entering we were warmly welcomed into a unique kitchen with meticulous detail, also found throughout the home. The yard is perfectly manicured with an amazing pool area. We spent as much time outside as we did inside. This is a fabulous property and a great place for a vacation.
