Open the door into the living room filled with coastal furniture/décor, 40 inch HD TV and WiFi. Off the living room you will find three (3) air conditioned bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, ceiling fans and one bedroom with a wall mounted 28 inch HD Flat Screen TV.

Very nice little cottage. We enjoyed our stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
This was a great experience for us and especially our 1 yr and 12 year old pups! The fenced in yard was great for them and we loved the neighborhood and short walk to the beach. The location was excellent as it was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We will book again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
A great property. One thing I'd say is thay if all three bedrooms were occupied, the one small couch in the living room and the tiny tabke in the kitech would have a hard time of it. But for my wife, our dog, and me, it was great. Harwich Port is very cool too.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2021
Very poor parking arrangements. One car fits in front. The supposed parking spot on the left of the house is not large enough for the car to be completely off the street. Neighbors on each side denied us the ability to park in front of their houses. Kitchen tiny with very tiny amount of counter space. No cutting board, no dish drainer, Only barely enough dishes if 6 people stayed. Kitchen table can't seat 6 unless pulled out into the middle of the room thus leaving very little walking space. No place to hang wet towels or bathing suits. Excellent location for the beach and walking into town! No shade in the yard for 90% of the day.
