Great location - near all. House is older - but has some great upgrades and has a good layout for a large group. Easy 1 mile walk or drive to Pleasant Beach. 20 mins to Bayside beaches for gorgeous sunsets. 45 minutes to great dune walk in Wellfleet and beaches of Orleans. Chatham is also nearby. Downtown Harwich is small but has a couple of good restaurants. We did not venture into Dennis/Yarmouth much - though we heard the newly opened Music Room is great.
The house was very comfortable for our extended family. The kitchen and eating areas were perfect. Kitchen was modern - well equipped. The living room and sun porch had plenty of comfy seating so we could spread out and be together! Morning coffee on the porch was lovely. Brand new baths and outdoor shower were very nice. The yard was the best! we played corn hole, bocce, badmiton, frisbee, can jam and sat around patio at night. Plenty of space between us and neighbors so we didn't feel like we were bothering them with our vacation 'spirit'. It was nice to have the garage space to store beach chairs, etc when it rained.
We were initially surprised/disappointed that we had to rent blankets - but Los Lobos rentals was awesome and it was easy - and actually quite nice to know that the blankets were freshly laundered! We also rented chairs, bath and beach towels, sheets. It was worth it!
Some of the beds were very uncomfortable (1 small double + all twins). Maybe bring foam toppers if you care a lot about this. Would be great if they could be replaced. The Queen, King and 1 double seemed okay. Also - the shower situation is interesting - 1 full new bath up + 1 shower stall down in very small area. It worked out just fine - but was interesting to have shower in such a small space and without sink/toilet (which are in another small room next door). For most part, people used upstairs and outdoor shower instead - which worked fine. WiFi/connection was slow for some of us. I had to take 1 work call here and it was spotty.
All in all we really enjoyed the house and had a great week. Thank you.
