Peaceful Retreat

This is our second year we’ve spent at the cottage and we’d like to come back. The cottage is located about halfway down the Cape so we were able to go to both the Canal and to Highland Light in Truro very easily. Harwich Port is a peaceful town and is within walking distance from the cottage. The cottage is clean and had everything we needed

Great home

This house is nicely located in Harwich Port - walkable to beach, shopping and restaurants. Very clean with lots of amenities. We stayed in April so a little chilly for the nicely appointed back yard patio and lovely sitting area in garage. Would love to come back in season. Great stay!

Two week retreat

This is the third Spring vacation we've spent at this beautiful cottage. The home is immaculate with a well furnished kitchen, top of the line bedding and linens and a beautiful outdoor courtyard with seating, gas fire pit and shower. The neighborhood is quiet and close to the beach, with shops just one short street over. We love the fact that bikes are availble for use and the rail trail is only a short distance from the cottage. Our hosts were welcoming and responsive before and during our stay. We're already looking forward to returning next Spring!

Fantastic Cape cottage

This lovely home could not have been better. Every single need was provided for, and then some. Some of our favorite things about it were the simple but lovely decor, the extreme cleanliness and neatness, the fresh scented linens, the great location in a sweet neighborhood. We loved the fire pit in the back, drinking wine under the stars. We loved“downtown” area. The owners went out their way to be kind and helpful. This is one of the nicest vrbos we have stayed at, and would love to return. They have created a perfect home-away-from home for their guests and we truly appreciated our stay.

Lovely cottage in perfect location

Our family of 4 spent a wonderful week in this cottage. The cottage is on a quiet street but just a block away from the main stretch of downtown Harwich Port, so it was an easy walk to plenty of restaurants and shops as well as to Bank Street beach. The cottage also had a nice outdoor space and came equipped with bikes and beach towels/chairs/games, all of which we put to good use. The owners were great at communicating with us. Would highly recommend this cottage for your Cape Cod travels!

Excellent stay at Darling Cottage!

Our family of 4 stayed at the Darling Cottage for 3 nights. The property was super clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, tableware, basic spices, etc. There was even coffee, creamer and sugar. We enjoyed the outdoor setup with the fire pit and ate a few meals at the outdoor table. The weather was glorious! The home is located within walking distance to the beach, downtown Harwich Port and the Harwich Port golf course, which my husband enjoyed. We enjoyed walking to restaurants and shops close by. The house was also well equipped with beach chairs, towels and coolers, which we did not end up using but appreciated the extra touch. We had an amazing stay at Darling Cottage and would love to return some day.
