Charming Classic Cape Home Bordering Bike Trail-Family Friendly In Harwich

  • Welcome to “Penobscot Bliss”

    Come to Harwich and stay at our pristine cape style home in a safe, quiet neighborhood on a seven home cul-de-sac abutting the Cape Cod Rail Trail (CCRT). It is close to all amenities that the Cape has to offer including short walk to Hinckley and Long ponds from the CCRT. The Harwich beaches are a mere 3 mile drive! Red River beach with its warm waters of Nantucket Sound, Bank Street and Pleasant Street beaches are some of our favorites! The location is perfect for those early mornings or evening walks any time of the year! This tastefully decorated property with nautical/ beach theme has 3 bedrooms all with king beds, 3 full baths, outdoor shower and a master suite with a Jacuzzi tub. Lower level has modular sofa, and comfortable seating area with games, books and more! Crib and rail guards, folding cot available by request. Our lovely owner managed home was renovated to include well equipped maple kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and oak hardwood floors on entire first and second floors.

The spacious outdoor shower encased with red cedar is classic for the cape! There are beach chairs, boggie boards, beach umbrella, coolers, and assorted games for your use. Amenities include central air plus ductless units in the basement and MBR, wireless high speed internet (WIFI), smart TV, blu-ray, cable and all the modern conveniences of home.

Lovely home that was comfortable for whole family and pets. Host was great in sending information before our arrival with specific instructions for the use of the property which alleviated any questions we might have had. Appreciated the use of the beach chairs, games, etc. which allowed us to not have to pack all of that as we traveled some distance. Location was central to many areas we explored. Would visit again. Thank you.

Home away from home in convenient location!

This was our first time staying in the Cape as a family, and this spacious home was perfect for our needs. The property description was accurate and the host was a great communicator throughout the whole process. We loved the comfortable beds and clean bathrooms and the convenient access to the bike trail. We visited several towns and beaches and found this home in Harwich to be a short drive from everything. Would definitely choose to stay here again!!

Fall colors of Cape Cod

The home was exactly as described and it was more cozy and comfortable than we could have hoped for. It was great after breakfast to be able to walk a paved trail directly behind the property thru the forest with the trees changing to brilliant colors of fall. The location to grocery stores, restaurants was also very convenient and we look forward to coming back to cape cod and definitely would want to stay here again.

Perfect Cape Vacation at Penobscot Bliss

Visited Cape Cod last week of August in Penobscot Bliss. It was a vacation where we wanted to spend some quality time together with the family. Cape Cod is so perfect for family vacation with variety of activities available for families. Penobscot Bliss was great. We found it neat and clean and comfortable with all the required amenities needed for a nice family vacation. We used the first floor bedroom and the couple bedrooms upstairs and they are in great condition. Basement had the washer and dryer and we used it few times. Basement also has bunk beds for the kids but we didn’t use it. All the showers in both floors were nicely maintained. Deck, backyard and front yard were great to spend time in between the trips to surrounding towns like Brewster and Dennis. Harwich is a nice town itself with many nice beaches, hiking trails, eateries and restaurants. The backyard from this house directly connects to the bike trail which is great for biking and hiking. Flowering shrubs are nicely placed surrounding the yard. Loved the outdoor shower which is ideal to wash while coming back from the beach. The vacation house made our vacation in cape a memorable one.

The house is as described, with a very well stocked kitchen, including a Keurig, and regular drip coffee maker, nice outside deck, comfortable bedrooms. Beach chairs and umbrella are available, and a cooler for beach visits. Great mid-cape location makes for easy access to all areas of the cape. Our host answered all of our questions, and gave us restaurant recommendations , and the check in process was seamless .

My family and I had a lovely stay at 11 Penobscot Way. The location was excellent — centrally located with easy access to everything we needed. The home was comfortable, and the kitchen table created the perfect setting for a fun family game night. We especially enjoyed walks along the nearby bike path, with the conservation trust area just about a quarter mile down the trail. Elaine was very responsive, helpful, and always available when needed.
