Summary: 17710 - Captains Cottage: Great location with Water Views!
The Space: Escape to the charm of Harwich, where this inviting three-bedroom retreat offers peek-a-boo views of Pleasant Bay and effortless access to Cape Cod’s coastal beauty. Enjoy access to Pleasant Bay via a shared dock where you can launch kayaks and enjoy an early morning paddle. Morning begins with coffee on the deck, the peaceful hush of the bay setting the tone for the day. Just half a mile away, Jackknife Beach beckons for a refreshing swim, while golfers will love the proximity to Wequassett Resort and Eastward Ho! Golf Course.
Designed for relaxation, the home’s open layout is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Multiple sliding doors invite the ocean breeze inside, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Fire up the grill for a laid-back BBQ, then sink into an Adirondack chair on the deck as the sky turns to dusk. Evenings are made for local flavors—start with a casual yet delicious meal at 400 East and finish with a scoop of homemade ice cream at Schoolhouse.
With three ground-floor bedrooms this home comfortably sleeps six. A full bath with a tub and shower adds convenience, while an additional half-bath upstairs makes entertaining a breeze. Plus, your four-legged friend is welcome to join the adventure (with a nightly fee).
Whether you're savoring a slow morning, exploring Cape Cod’s coastline, or simply unwinding after a sun-soaked day, this home is the perfect backdrop for your vacation. Book now and start counting down to your coastal getaway!

Great location, house needs major work
Walking into the house there is an overwhelming odour of dust and damp. Upstairs is not bad, with a nice terrace (morning sun) and sea view. The kitchen is well equipped, but there is an ant problem. The wall lights have no shades so the glare makes it impossible to have them on and sit at the dining table. The terrace has a good BBQ. When you go downstairs to the bedrooms you are in a one star motel accommodation, requiring serious updating. The ceilings are polystyrene and stained/bashed about, the windows look onto undergrowth and most cannot be opened - including the patio door in master bedroom and the bathroom. Downstairs feels cold and damp, towels don’t dry, clothes in wardrobes feel damp, the rooms smell polyester induced sweat and airlessness, the lighting is bleak. All over the house are ugly window air con units - open the doors and you don’t need air con as it’s in a very shaded forested cove. On the plus side the house is in a good location with water access, it’s spacious and well equipped, good washing machine/dryer, dishwasher etc. It just needs a massive refurb and re-wiring, as unfortunately it’s not worth the price paid. We made sure we were out and about with minimum time spent in the depressing bedroom area downstairs which really is the pits. At night you can hear the chipmunks or similar digging and scuttling around above the bedroom ceilings. From UK we are used to old properties and happily live in rustic accommodation but this is below par.
