Scandinavian Delight
An old farmhouse that has been updated with modern amenities including AC, solar, cable, WiFi and new kitchen appliances. Also including 2 grills and washer/dryer. Sleeping for 10 and an acre of land out back. Walking distance to a great beach. All we could have asked for. We will be back.

Great location. Classic Cape house.
Love the location. Close to Chatham, Harwichport, beaches, grocery stores... everything. House is old, but that is part of the charm. We enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable House
We enjoyed the house, decks, layout, etc. The sunroom was very nice, large dining area was also great! We enjoyed the large outdoor shower. We also enjoyed the outdoor decks and bbq. The mattresses could definitely use an update, they are thin and hard. We had a nice week and great communications prior. The biggest issue was checking out. I stayed up until 1am and up again at 7am to clean and get all the sheets and laundry done. We ran over the 10am check out time and the owners came and were very nasty with us. I had to shower as I was all sweaty from cleaning when they started texting me at 10:07am. If you're out at 10am, you should be fine, but don't run over!

Lots of room, close to everything.
Nice and big home-plenty of room for our party of 8 adults to spread out. Was close to the marinas, fishing, beaches, bike paths, shopping, and sight seeing. Has a little fire pit for toasting smores and relaxing which was much appreciated.

Super spacious family home
An ideal house for a large family group. Great location and a pleasant 15 minute walk to a nice sandy beach. The deck could be a little bigger to seat a group of 8 but that doesn’t take anything away from the very enjoyable time we all had. The house is generally well equipped and we made good use of the barbecue. If you have kids there’s a big garden to run around in. The outdoor shower is also very handy after your morning run! Our thanks to Gordon who is a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommended...Many thanks!
