This beautifully renovated Harwich Port property combines classic Cape Cod charm with modern comfort, creating an exceptional setting for family vacations, reunions, and special gatherings. The spacious main home features inviting living areas, stylish coastal finishes, and multiple dining spaces designed for effortless entertaining. A separate guest house provides added privacy and flexibility, offering its own comfortable living quarters just steps from the main residence. Thoughtfully designed throughout, the property balances togetherness and relaxation, making it easy for everyone to enjoy their stay. Outside, a heated saltwater pool serves as the centerpiece of a private backyard retreat surrounded by lush landscaping and ample space for lounging, outdoor games, and al fresco dining. The location is equally impressive, with Harwich Port Village just a short stroll away, offering boutique shopping, local restaurants, and the vibrant atmosphere of one of Cape Cod’s most beloved seaside towns. Wychmere Harbor is nearby, and beautiful Nantucket Sound beaches are within easy walking distance, making this an ideal home base for enjoying the very best of the Cape.

KEY Curation Notes

Heated saltwater pool in a private, landscaped yard — the main outdoor gathering space, with a large lawn area for games alongside it.

Separate guest house with king bed, kitchenette, and private bath — steps from the main house, offering a fully self-contained space for extended family or guests who want their own entrance and independence.

Two kitchens in the main house, plus a three-season room with additional dining — a practical setup for large groups that eliminates the typical one-kitchen bottleneck at mealtime.

Wychmere Harbor is directly across the street, and a Nantucket Sound beach on Nantucket Sound is a 5–7 minute walk. Harwich Port Village — shops, restaurants, and the Wednesday Port Summer Nights event — is a 5-minute walk in the other direction.

Three main-level bedrooms including the primary king suite, making this well-suited for guests who can't or prefer not to use stairs.

Linens included, beds made on arrival. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before you check in.

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.

Reviews

Ted

Not sure where to start as the stay here was so incredible. This place was colorfully landscaped with hydrangeas, butterfly bushes, grasses, day Lilys, honeysuckle and trees. The big hit at this beautiful oasis was the generous size heated swimming pool, The pool had lights in the water and on the surrounding, fence. All the landscaping has subtle lights on at night which come on with the pool lights. It was stunning. This place has ample comfortable lounge chairs, tables, umbrellas for shade and beach chairs. Everything is 2-10 minute walk be it the beach, ice cream (sundae school is basically next door) restaurants or shops The house was spotless. All the bed linen, pillows are provided as well as bath and pool towels - all was excellent quality. So no loading up the cars with all the above. Just arrive and be ready to enjoy. This was probably the finest of many rentals we have done on the Cape over the years. We had an absolutely amazing time. It’s not just a house.
