Owners Share Why I Love My Home:
I love our Cape Cod Cottage (aka Whip O Will Woods), down the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the pitch pine woods of historic Harwich. After a busy day taking in all that Cape Cod has to offer, you can retreat to our pet-friendly sanctuary and sip a glass of your favorite beverage on the large screened porch and listen to the sounds of the whip-o-wills and the chickadees as the sun sets on another marvelous day.
Let Us Tell You About This Home:
You will enter through a side entry into an open eat-in kitchen that is sunny and bright. The dining table offers seating for 6.
Off the kitchen is a sun-porch, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon sun. There's also a small porch that lets the breeze and the bird songs come through. Just off the porch around back, you will find the outdoor shower, a Cape Cod tradition. Great for rinsing off the sand and saltwater after a day well spent at the beach!
Beyond the kitchen is the living room with a queen sleep sofa, a flat screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Enjoy board games or even a puzzle on the large coffee table. Lots of comfy seating for all to relax and gather together. The gas fireplace is perfect for a chilly night as the summer season winds down.
Down the hallway are the 2 Bedrooms (both with newer beds), AC units, and a full bathroom with a shower. There is also a stackable washer/dryer for your convenience.
Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed and Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds. Perfect for small families or two couples!
New for 2022 now you can enjoy the beautiful Cape Cod evenings around the new Fire table on the Patio!
This home is located in a convenient location close to Harwich Center, Brooks Park, bike trail, and the community center. Also, just a short walk to Dunkin Donuts for your morning coffee. Jump in the car and you are just 5 minutes to sandy Bank Street beach on Nantucket Sound where the water is warmer and the waves are gentle! Just a couple miles up the road: Long Pond with beautiful fresh water where you can swim, kayak, or enjoy boating on the largest fresh water lake on the Cape!

Ratings and reviews
Summary of reviewsThe house was great, clean, comfortable with lovely amenities and excellent customer service.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The location of the house was perfect, and we loved the amenities inside and out. The gas fireplace was exactly what we needed for a cozy movie night as the evenings became cooler (the thermostat did need a little jiggling to get working). The house is beautifully decorated and really imparts the coastal charm of a Cape rental. We didn't use the outdoor fire pit, outdoor shower, grill, or the little shed of supplies, but we would definitely have appreciated them if we did! The whip-poor-wills were a delight to hear at night (the bird the street was named after).We did have a few setbacks during our stay, one of which we had handled by NEVR as soon as their office was open the following day. I do wish the property had a greater attention to cleanliness. The floors need a proper mopping, more than what a Swiffer can accomplish. The shower needs mold treatment and new caulk (or to be bath-fit). There were animals in the attic that sounded like mice or squirrels, which led the bedroom to smell a little animal-y, and there were mouse droppings in the lower range drawer where sheet pans were stored. Unfortunately, this mouse problem will likely come with the territory, just like the numerous spiders, due to the house being in the woods.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2020
Close to bike trails, mobile market, Harwich Center. House is good for a small group and as advertised.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2020
Cottage is a bit dated but well maintained. Very relaxing setting adjacent to woods and private homes. A good deal for the price point.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2020
Property was fine with a few concerns. There are LOTS of coyotes in the area. Was warned by neighbor upon arrival not to let dog out at all w/o being present. For a smaller breed, this could be a disaster. We heard them often, very close, and saw one lg one in driveway...in the daylight. Battled spiders all week...one night, killed around a dozen. I HATE spiders and if bigger would have contacted manager...needs treatment. Odd selection of dishes and no good storage for non perishable foods. Game selection was random and parts missing to some.
