There is a saltwater pool on the property and it is just a 12 minute bike ride (3 minute car ride) to Harwich Port beaches, so you can choose from a stay at home and cook or get out and play.

Less than a mile to two golf courses.

Great accommodation in a fantastic Cape Cod location

My wife and 2 kids (10 and 8 years old) had a fantastic holiday at this lovely property in the centre of Cape Cod. The location is great with easy access to the various towns, beaches and attractions by car. Matt and Britt, the owners were really helpful through out. Our family loved the pool and all the games and activities provided in the house.

A little slice of heaven in Harwich!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Matt and Britt’s home. It’s incredibly beautiful and comfortable & the location cannot be beat. The backyard is a blast and some days we opted for pool days over beach because that’s how nice the outdoor space is! The communication with Matt was phenomenal and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches the hosts left such as a wonderful bottle of wine and delicious jam! We highly recommend this home.

Great Harwich rental!

This was our second year at the Harwich house, and once again it was wonderful for our family (two grandparents, two parents, and kids 4 and 6). Everything about the house was clean and convenient. Comfortable bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen and outdoor space. The backyard pool and location near park, bike trail, and restaurants made this house perfect for us.

Three generation family vacation

Wonderful property! Matt and Brittain have continually improved the quality of the property and rental experience over the three years that we have stayed there. They have thought of everything to ensure a pleasant and convenient stay. In addition, the location is close to shops, restaurants, park with playground, tennis, and pickleball, the bike trail, and Harwich Mariners ball field. The backyard pool is perfect for us and our grandchildren.

Fantastic week at this special home

My wife, myself, my in-laws, and my 6mo old daughter really enjoyed our week at Matt and Britt’s special home. They’ve done a thorough and thoughtful job renovating a classic old home, and it perfectly blends antiquity and modern comfort. The location is great, able to walk to a few eateries and parks, and the beaches nearby are beautiful. We’re already thinking about next year. Thank you!

Perfect house and perfect stay!

Impeccable is the only way to describe the owners, the house, and everything in between! Everything and anything you need is there. Short walk to Harwich center, the lavender farm, to bustling brooks field with every sport court. Central to plenty of restaurants, mini golf and beaches. The design and craftsmanship of this historical antique is absolutely beautiful, yet has every modern amenity you could hope for. Cozy is an understatement, it felt like home. Matt and Britt have clear pride of ownership and were the best hosts, like no other we have experienced renting on the Cape.

August 2024 Family Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation at Matt and Britt's beautiful antique home in Harwich! The enclosed porch and pool were the perfect place to relax and the kids had hours of entertainment. We traveled with 2 adults and children age 17, 12, and 10 and there was more than enough space for everyone. It is the best stocked house we have ever stayed in and all we had to bring was food, drinks, and bikes. The treats provided upon arrival were enjoyed by all! Matt was great to communicate with and answered all of our questions before the trip and while we were there. We definitely want to stay here again in the future!

House Keeps Getting Better

This was our second summer at Harwich House. It was already beautiful but the upgrades that were made over the winter made it even lovelier. The kitchen is fully stocked and spacious, the pool is great, as is the screened in porch. Even when the weather doesn't cooperate, it's a wonderful place to spend the day. Proximity to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, beaches and town are added benefits. In short: a great place to spend a week at the Cape.

Wonderful property/wonderful hosts!

We have stayed at this property for a week during 3 of the past 4 summers. The house just keeps getting better (as the owners have updated the property every year)! The house itself is very accommodating, comfortable and inviting! We love the decor which enhances the house in a rustic but also modern way. The pool area is a major plus and allows you to choose between beach days and poolside days…we often mix both and end up reading on the screened in porch. We’ve look forward to visiting again!!! We also love communicating with the owners who are always responsive and friendly!

Home away from home

My family had a wonderful time at this property. It’s in a wonderful location on Cape Cod and is near multiple beaches and towns. While there, we visited Chatham, Barnstable, Dennis and went for dinner in PTown. The house is clean, well maintained and feels homey. The owners are responsive, friendly, and were a pleasure to communicate with. The few questions we had were answered quickly and with a virtual smile. Our refund was returned in full and quickly. We would certainly recommend this property and hope to rent it again in the future.

Quintessential Cape Cod Family Vacation

This was our first time staying at the Harwich House, and the home and our experience was pure magic. The owners have taken care to beautifully restore their historic home and have anticipated all the details which made our stay relaxing and comfortable. From the moment you step inside the home, you feel like you like you are on vacation. It is thoughtfully furnished with a mix of antiques and modern furniture and lighting- coastal and serene. The salt water pool was our little oasis and we spent a lot of time hanging by the pool and grilling after long days on the beach. The hosts left us a creative welcome gift including jam from their farm, and Matt was very friendly and available in case we had any questions or needed dinner recommendations. We will definitely be back to visit next year!

worth the wait!!!

Booked early to relieve our family from our year long pandemic isolation and specifically for the pool. This treasure was beautifully appointed and landscaped, meticulously clean, fully stocked and certainly worth the wait! Quiet location with bike and walking trail access through the back yard and local markets, quaint library and restaurants a short stroll away. The salt water pool was a dream! Most of our time was spent lounging on the breezy screened porch and the ping pong table in the garage was so fun. Matt is the "host with the most" always on hand and nothing left to chance. We look forward to our return !!!

Wonderful Cape Cod Property with Pool

Wonderful Cape Cod home for our family vacation, slept 4 adults and 2 kids comfortably. Our 6 year old and 4 year old loved the pool and walking to the neighborhood playground that was just 1 block away. Nice location that was a jumping off point to other cape destinations. Pool was a little chilly in the mornings but owners mentioned that pool heater was coming in 2023. Weather was warm at the end of August and we did use the air conditioners in the bedrooms at night. Great communication from owners who were available to answer any questions. Beds and pillows were comfortable for everyone. Highly recommend!

Perfectly Wonderful Experience

My experience with Matt + Britt was by far my best in many years of home rentals. Their home is beautifully designed, impeccably clean, and in a wonderful location. You have all that you need at your fingertips, and nothing you don't. The house is close to beach, bars and shops, but a quiet and peaceful oasis when home. Their communications from beginning to end are clear and helpful, warm and welcoming. Overall they enhance your vacation experience in every way.

The PERFECT Cape getaway!

This was my favorite rental experience thus far. I had booked this trip to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and my in-laws joined in as well. From the very start, Matt was a fantastic host and provided details about the home and nearby things to do. He was very quick to respond, and also checked in to ensure things were going smoothly. As far as the house- the house is beautiful, in great condition with beautiful furniture and anesthetic, and an extremely well stocked kitchen with quality cookware. We also enjoyed the screened porch and the amazing saltwater pool that was fun to dip into after a long bike ride on the rail trail. Our stay here was 100 % worth it, and we all want to come back again in the future.
