Owners Share Why I Love My Home: I love our Cape Cod Cottage (aka Whip O Will Woods), down the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the pitch pine woods of historic Harwich. After a busy day taking in all that Cape Cod has to offer, you can retreat to our pet-friendly sanctuary and sip a glass of your favorite beverage on the large screened porch and listen to the sounds of the whip-o-wills and the chickadees as the sun sets on another marvelous day.

Off the kitchen is a sun-porch, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon sun. There's also a small porch that lets the breeze and the bird songs come through. Just off the porch around back, you will find the outdoor shower, a Cape Cod tradition. Great for rinsing off the sand and saltwater after a day well spent at the beach!

Lots of comfy seating for all to relax and gather together. The gas fireplace is perfect for a chilly night as the summer season winds down.

Sep 2, 2020 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication #### Review Property was fine with a few concerns. There are LOTS of coyotes in the area. Was warned by neighbor upon arrival not to let dog out at all w/o being present. For a smaller breed, this could be a disaster. We heard them often, very close, and saw one lg one in driveway...in the daylight. Battled spiders all week...one night, killed around a dozen. I HATE spiders and if bigger would have contacted manager...needs treatment. Odd selection of dishes and no good storage for non perishable foods. Game selection was random and parts missing to some. ##### Sally F. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam R.

My only complaint is that I wish the air conditioners were a little cleaner- I have terrible allergies and the filter were very dirty. Otherwise, a great stay in a lovely, clean cottage. ##### Wendy S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary H.

Aug 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute house in Harwich The house was great! Clean and very comfortable. Our only complaint were the bugs. It's either a window was slightly open of which we're not aware or the a/c window units were not properly sealed. Other than that, the house was lovely! We certainly appreciated having a/c throughout and how clean the place was. Loved seeing a completely empty and pristine refrigerator! Also, I thought customer service was top notch. We were there when the tornado hit Harwich and contacting New England Vacations was not an issue at all. Back and forth communications were open and productive which we immensely appreciated. ##### Cristina C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Todd B. Sep 12, 2018 #### Very nice Was a very nice, well located cabin. The furnishings and yard were great. ##### Todd B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tara H. Jul 13, 2018 #### Cute place, close to beaches My family and I enjoyed this house. It is dated, and you cannot use more than one appliance at a time or it will blow a fuse. It smells a little musky, all of my belongings had to be washed (But had not been worn) because of this. There are no linens. The house is quite small, but well maintained. Beaches such a Cold Storage and Mayflower are 20 minutes away, and you have to get there prior to 7:30 am or you will not get a spot. The town beach is nice but extremely small and only about 5-10 minutes away. Many items are already in the home such as extra soap for dishwasher/saran wrap/pots/pans/laundry soap. I wish I had known this prior to staying as I packed many items I did not need. This is a cute little house, but we would want something a little bit bigger the next time we go to the cape, just my own preference. Dunkin Donuts is a short walk at the end of the road! VRBO was very good and prompt at returning my call and answering any questions that I had. ##### Tara H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018
