My family and I have been renting Cape summer vacation homes for decades. Each has had its various charms, but I can honestly say this is one of the very few houses I hope to return to. Everything about Rock Harbor Retreat was wonderful--from its beautiful architecture and quality furnishings, to its lovely deck, porch and gardens, to its terrifically convenient location. Communication with the owner was quite satisfying, the living room bookshelves yielded excellent reads, and our favorite Atlantic beaches were an easy drive away; what more could one ask for in a Cape vacation?

The location was great - you can walk to town and easily access the bike path. 2. The house is very private and quiet, and almost feels like a tree house in the forest. 3. The inside of the house is very comfortable - plenty of space for our family of five. 4. The owner was very pleasant and quick to respond to any questions we had. ##### Elizabeth W.
