Holiday rentals with lake access in Harwich

Wow! Wow! Wow! Congratulations on the beautiful renovation. This was our second stay at this gorgeous home and, while we knew that they were doing some additional work in the off-season, we were not prepared for all of the incredible improvements that were made. This place leaves nothing to be desired. Beds are comfy with lovely linens, lots of room for everyone to spread out (important to us with both teenagers and littles) and lots of toys to use on the pond with a great eye for safety. We have family at Jenkins Pond and make this trip every year. As long as this house is available, we will look no further for a place to stay. Dar is a gracious host, extremely responsive, helpful and accommodating. He clearly put a lot of love and thought into this home and we were very grateful to be guests. It was the best home base for a fun week with family and we once again head home with wonderful memories.

We loved Joe's place. The house is located in a clean, quiet and spacious community within reasonable drives to areas of Cape Cod that matter. Both Joe and Steven are amazing hosts. They treat you like friends, always willing to offer local advice. We had an issue that required Joe to come over to take a look and he was over in minutes. We definitely consider coming back next year.

Marla's vacation home was very lovely. We liked the pictures of her place, but once we arrived we realized that she had remodeled a number of rooms. Each room was updated, very clean and cozy. Marla has made sure that her place is stocked with all of the large and small conveniences that guests would want in a home away from home. The location and the surroundings are stunning, especially with the Fall foliage. One can tell that Marla takes great pride in her beautiful rental. -Mark & Susan G

What a cool spot! Stayed a couple nights with friends for a "Book Retreat" and had the best time reading in the Hammock, chatting by the fire pit, and cooking together in the kitchen.

The house was as advertised. In a nice quiet area. The house was well set up and as advertised. We felt right at home for the weekend.

Wonderful house with gorgeous views of Oyster Pond from every window. Sitting on the deck high in the trees was especially nice for our older relative who loved seeing the swans swim by. The spotlessly clean house was beautifully decorated and furnished while the kitchen provided all necessary pans and utensils. The canoe was easy to get in and out of. Would love to return next year.

This property was stunning! As described. Brenda was extremely responsive to messages. My family appreciated the labeling she had done, it made everything very easy to find. Anything you could want this place has it, from super comfortable beds, tons of space, clean, and beautiful views! We will definitely be back!

Thank you Amy! The house was clean, the beds were delicious… I slept less than I would have liked, they were amazing, and I wish I had gotten more sleep! I broke Amy’s shower and coffee table, but her communication with me was great. I apologized, she sent the damages and everything was fine. She was very kind and easy to talk to =) I would definitely stay again and absolutely recommend it. If I can give you one tip: put curtains closed on the windows to make it really dark… I can only think of how perfect the rooms would be! I wouldn’t get up anymore! hahahaha Thanks Amy!

Just lovely. Great WiFi, very modern and everything we needed. It was very clean and well set up with an awesome little guide about the house and surroundings! The host left out dog water bowl and food bowl and put out a dog blanket for us, which was very thoughtful. Will definitely be back.

This apartment was exactly as described online: clean, cozy, and near the bike path and a public park. Quiet hours are observed 11:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m. (I think I have the hours correct.) Mr. Jefferson was remarkably responsive to our few questions. I would choose this apartment again. NOTE: The apartment is on a busy street, so my wife and I feared that the apartment might be noisy, but it was not, because the ground level apartment is at the rear of the house. The place was peaceful.

We had a fantastic trip! The host was responsive and made the whole process smooth and easy. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend it! Thank you, Tara.

Great apartment. Close to the beach and great restaurants, but also quiet and peaceful. Slept better here than I do at home.

Beautiful lakeside getaway in a cozy woodland setting. The house is full of historical charm and personality. The view from the multiple decks are gorgeous and invite you to sit outside and really enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We absolutely loved it!

The accommodation was lovely and the location was great. Highly recommend!

Great host. Nice location. Great communication

Loved staying here for long weekend with my dog. Accomodations were clean, quiet, comfortable. Tina was very helpful and friendly. Location was peaceful yet close to many restaurants, walking trails, the beach. We would love to stay again!

Excellent stay. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. We rested well and were able to relax. We appreciated having laundry on site since we were on a 10-day trip. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. But that is a minor detail when you can watch the sunset over the peaceful water. Lisa communicated well and responded quickly. The house is easy to get to and stores are easy to travel to. Excellent location.

As soon as I walked into Carol’s place, I felt right at home. In fact, I was sad I couldn’t stay longer. Dennis is a great centrally located area on the Cape (next to many great restaurants and a supermarket). The cottage itself is in a quiet neighborhood right in front of Flax Pond (great for kayaking). It was well stocked with amenities and things to do I could just spend all day there. Carol was friendly and responsive. I would book at the Compass Rose Cottage again!

Extremely clean and tidy - very comfortable for my wife and I for the week! Such a peaceful area, very quiet neighbors!

My wife and I stayed at May's place while visiting family on Cape Cod. As described, it's a cozy little cottage, which was just what we wanted. Quiet neighborhood. Most of our time was spent on the delightful patio. A short night-time walk to the pond was exceptional with moon light reflecting off the water. Next time we're on the Cape, we definitely return.

A Perfect Stay – Cozy, Clean, and Wonderfully Hosted We had an absolutely delightful stay. The space was clean and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable visit. The location was ideal—peaceful and serene yet conveniently close to local attractions and dining options. What truly set this experience apart was the host’s exceptional hospitality; they were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and made us feel right at home. Look forward to returning!

Leah responded to my booking request within minutes. This was so important because our previous reservations fell through. This was a last-minute booking and I’m so thankful that I was able to find such a wonderful location. Everything that was in the listing was accurate and we felt right at home after an easy check-in process. I cannot thank Leah and Brandon enough for their willingness to let us rent their beautiful cottage last minute. The home is fully stocked with anything that we may have needed. It was a little chilly, but the space heaters were enough to get us through the chilly nights. My kids and I were able to watch Halloween movies on the TV while gazing at the full moon from the skylight above in the living room. I’m looking forward to going back to Massachusetts in the future. There are so many different things that this town and surrounding towns offer.

First, Art was great to work with: near immediate helpful responses. The home is as described but still bigger than we imagined. Second was the location: right on Sands pond with a dock and boats we could use. It's on the end of a cul de sac with direct access to hiking trails and cranberry bogs that the dog (and us) really appreciated! Easy access to all Cape attractions - you can't go wrong with picking this home for your Cape experience!

My fiancé and I had a truly wonderful stay at the cottage! The place was exactly as described—cozy, clean, and full of charm. It was the perfect stay for our anniversary! The host, Andrew was amazing and super responsive! He had amazing recs for local places to try and things to do in the neighborhood!
