Lovely Cape Cod house
Our experience was not typical b/c ,for three days after our arrival, we faced a period of intense heat; a tornado directly hit Harwich; a tree fell on our rental car and buried it;, and we (and much of Harwich) had no electricity for about 40 hours. Lisa, the owner, was fantastic throughout and an excellent host and moved mountains to get the tree cleared. She stayed in touch with us constantly during this difficult time to be on a vacation. We greatly appreciated, and respected, her attentiveness.
Three caveats to be aware of. which may not be of importance to you. First, the stairs to the upstairs two bedrooms and bath are quite steep and getting large suitcases up them is not an easy task. We kept ours in the living room. and ferried clothes up to the dressers in the bedroom. Second, at least as of now, the downstairs bedroom has no a/c, and was exceptionally hot even with the provided strong fan during the not typical hot streak we encountered during the days before the tornado and then for the two nights we hae no electricity. I doubt that this would be a problem during most of the more typical Cape Cod summer. Finally, the washer and dryer are in the basement.
Overall, and notwithstanding the above, the house is charming in style and furnishings (apart from the steep stairs....) and is quite comfortable., the extras in the house and in the garage and yard are there for you to use, and, perhaps most important, your host is charming and was readily available to us by text, email, and phone, and was committed to making our stay as perfect as it could be during a very trying time .
The house is much better equipped than most of the rentals we have had through VRBO or their competitors. The kitchen is well stocked with good cooking pots, pans, and appliances, and has the full array of utensils that most people have at home but are seldom in a house available for rent. Plus, there is an outside BBQ and hammack on the patio and good lawn furniture.
All in all, this is a house worth considering to rent, though I suggest you perhaps avoid tornado season....
