Other Details to Note

Barn is not available for guest use. Exterior french door in one of the first floor bedrooms does not open. The fireplaces are not functional. For decorative purposes only. The home borders wetlands so the occasional snake can make its way into the yard from time to time. Due to the fact that the property is heavily wooded and borders wetlands, there are bugs that may make their way into the home. If you are new to Airbnb or will be bringing a pet, you may be asked to sign our rental/pet agreement. The agreement states the dates of stay, the names of each guest, the house rules and information about your pet. You will have 48 hours to review the agreement and if you are not comfortable signing it, you can cancel for a full refund. Pets must be approved by the host in advance of your stay. If approved, there is a $150 pet fee per stay. Only dogs. No cats.

We just returned home after an amazing week staying at Amy's house in Harwich, and are already talking about when we can go back to visit next summer. This was our first trip to Cape Cod, and are thrilled that we chose Amy's house. The house was perfect - recently renovated with much of its original 1700s charm still on display, incredibly clean, and comfortable. Everything in the house was well thought out - had anything you could possibly need from beach essentials, fresh linens, towels, and all kitchen neccesities, and a wonderful laundry room. Amy welcomed our dog, who took full advantage of the both the front and back fenced in yards. The location was excellent - a short walk into town as well as short drives (under 10 minutes) to a variety of local beaches. Amy provided us with an extensive list of beach, restaurant, and activity recommendations, and responded almost immediately to any questions we had. Definitely stay here if you have the opportunity, you won't regret it!

We had such a wonderful stay here! The house had the perfect balance of charm and coastal vibes while also being spotless and thoughtfully maintained. Amy truly went above and beyond with the amenities and all the little touches that made it feel special and welcoming. Prior to our trip, we asked if beach chairs were available, and she surprised us by adding them as an amenity. That thoughtful gesture perfectly reflects her passion for hosting and ensuring every stay is perfect—it’s unmatched! We also really appreciated the proactive communication and thoughtful recommendations, which made planning our days so much easier. We loved our time at the beach, exploring Chatham, and even took a day trip to Nantucket. Our two Frenchies were just as happy as we were, which made it feel like home away from home. Truly one of the most comfortable and memorable Airbnbs we’ve stayed in—we can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay! The house had the charm of a cozy cottage but still felt modern, spacious, and spotless. It was perfect for our family of four plus our dog, with plenty of room for everyone. The location was great—tucked away in a quiet area but just a short drive to Chatham and the beaches. The host was very responsive and made everything easy. We’d love to stay here again!

Do yourself a favor and book this house! It was truly the most beautiful home - it is clean, cozy, quaint, and everything is updated. It feels just like home. Amy is a wonderful and attentive host who checked in numerous times to ensure we were enjoying our stay and if she could assist our group with anything. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I had an incredible stay at Amy’s place in Harwich. The house itself is stunning—full of character, beautifully maintained, and rich with fascinating history. Every corner seemed to tell a story, yet it had all the modern comforts that made the stay easy and relaxing. Amy was a thoughtful and attentive host, quick to communicate and genuinely welcoming. This was one of those rare finds where you leave wishing you had booked a few extra days. I’d gladly stay here again. In addition my puppies found it amazing - Rupert was quite taken with the little hideaway space while Addie rather enjoyed the very large fenced yard that offered her ample opportunity to patrol and survey.

Such an amazing stay on the Cape in a charming, historical home! The location was beautiful, the home was super clean and everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. We enjoyed the village of Harwich, the beaches and being able to walk down the street to a few local eateries. We were centrally located for a quick commute to visit friends in Barnstable and the shops in Chatham. Amy was an amazing host, very proactive about all the info we would need. We cannot wait to return again!
