    This was our fifth year renting Idle Way and we have been incredibly happy with our stay during this time! This year was even more fantastic with the addition of the pool, hot tub and outdoor cabana area. The pool was extremely warm and our 3 kids used it at every opportunity that they had while my husband and I enjoyed our coffee and cocktails watching them swim from the comfortable outdoor lounge seating. We also enjoyed sitting in the hot tub after the kids were in bed enjoying the peaceful backyard. The house continues to be extremely comfortable, clean, well stocked and spacious- everything you could want for your week away on the cape. The owners, Stephanie and Greg are incredibly responsive and do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. show more show less

    Outstanding rental!

    WOW! Five girlfriends traveled from five states to relax and enjoy Cape Cod. Idle Way was the perfect landing pad. What an outstanding home for us to enjoy our time together! This home was so well appointed with everything we needed to have an amazing vacation. Communication was outstanding with Stephanie and she was always quick to respond to any questions we had. To say we enjoyed our stay at Idle Way is an understatement for sure. The pool area was so relaxing and had plenty of space for us to spread out. The backyard was a great space for us to enjoy a delicious dinner and relax around the firepit to enjoy one another's company. The beds were all really comfortable and the linens were soft and luxurious. Idle Way was close to everything. We would love to return and enjoy this fantastic home again! show more show less

    Family Friendly House w/Amazing Location and Backyard

    We had the best time staying at Greg and Stephanie's home in Harwich! They have a quiet tree-lined street next to some amazing food, trails, and beaches are a quick drive. We felt like we were in a very central location that was quiet and serene at the same time. Coming from the city, this was the perfect place for us to decompress, relax and unwind. Our toddler loved all of the family's toys and books, and was loving the slide and play fort out in their lovely backyard. They have thought of everything while setting up their home, and even have a basket of small toiletries in case you forgot toothpaste etc. We only wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more time in the backyard grilling! We managed to get two bike rides in using their equipment and my son loved sitting in the bike trailer while we biked around the rail trail. The entrance to the trails is soooo close, and makes it really easy to get on/ off without stressing about biking on too many main roads.
    We bought a week-long beach pass and explored a lot of the ocean beaches just a five to ten minute drive away, and some of the fresh water beaches are even closer. We can't wait to go back to Harwich! Greg and Stephanie have amazing food and sightseeing recommendations. We would highly recommend staying at their home, Idle Way!

    Beautiful updated Cape getaway!

    We had a wonderful family vacation at this lovely home. It had everything inside and outside to make our vacation easy,fun and memorable . The backyard was perfect for cookouts and s'mores and the children loved the playhouse. The location is excellent with a short drive to beaches. And walking distance to the rail trail, playground, and free tennis courts. A perfect vacation spot.

    Fantastic place for lots of memories!

    Greg & Stephanie truly have thought of everything with their rental! From phone chargers on the night stands, to baby proofing for our little ones, to beach gear and so much more. Traveling in from NC with five little ones isn't easy but having so many amenities (like a pack n play and monitor) already there for us was beyond helpful. The hosts were easy to communicate with a left clear and easy instructions. Highly, highly recommend this house if you've got little kids (and even if you don't)! They'll be entertained and happy! My family doesn't get together often as we're spread out across the US but the house provided the perfect place for lots of memories to be made together. We can't wait to return one day! Thank you! show more show less

    Great time at a great beach house

    We were so happy to spend our Spring break vacation week in this beautiful house. It has a lot of amenities for indoor and outdoor fun. The house was clean, inviting, and very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. Everything that this house offers during the summertime wasn't fully set up, but it was made all available for our use if we wanted to. My son and two of his friends who came to visit us had a great time egg-hunting in the backyard on Easter Sunday, and with all the activities/entertainment in the basement.

    Location was a plus. Easy access to the main routes (Routes 28, 6, and 39) that takes you anywhere you want to explore. Super close to the cute downtown, local beaches, a playground, bike trail, and much more.

    Greg and Stephanie were great hosts. Greg was responsive and very easy to talk to. He was available to answer questions and relaying info. Thanks Greg and Stephanie for your flexibility and the welcoming gift. And many thanks again for sharing your beautiful and relaxing house with us. We can't wait to come back.

    Holiday Stay

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The moment we walked through the door we could feel the home's warmth and were impressed by the aesthetics of the decor as well as how spacious it was.

    There was both room to gather in common areas or find a place for some peace and quiet. We found the basement area was a perfect spot for our adult children to enjoy.

    The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. So many conveniences were provided, including a coded keypad entry, charging station, smart home features, hallway nightlights, fully equipped kitchen, ample places to sleep, cozy blankets and more. There was even a beautifully decorated Christmas tree!

    Although I am sure this would also be a wonderful summer rental, with its close proximity to beaches and outstanding outdoor spaces, if you are looking for a getaway, I would highly recommend staying here any time of year.

    We feel fortunate to have shared time with family over the holiday in this lovely home.

    Amazing!

    We had a group of 7 old friends stay here for a weekend golf tournament. The home was so spacious and in a perfect location to everything we needed in and around Harwich. The outdoor deck and patio with the lighting was absolutely incredible. We weren't able to spend a ton of time at the house and enjoying the outside areas, but we thoroughly enjoyed every second that we were there and actually wish we had more time to spend at the house because it was so great.

    The home was clean, the beds were so comfortable, and the amenities were perfect. Greg and Stephanie are amazing hosts and were super easy to work with throughout the booking process right through our stay.

    I had an issue with one of the key locks and called Greg and he walked me through the situation immediately. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home, your fantastic hospitality, and we hope to come back next year!

    The Most Wonderful House

    We had the opportunity to stay at Idle Way for two weeks in August. This house was more than we could have asked for. It had EVERYTHING we needed as well as everything extra for two young kids. The location was perfect, on a quiet street, walk to breakfast and the park, hop right on the bike trail, and a huge backyard for the kids to play the wide variety of games that came with the house including a bounce house, cornhole, can jam, and a variety of bikes and scooters. My husband and I loved being able to work out on the trx and ride the Peloton everyday, which was such a treat for someone who doesn't own one. The four bedrooms are all a good size and there was ample space to spread out and not get in each other's way.

    We loved the personal touches as well like the reusable branded cups, the personalized door code, and the supplies and snacks that were there for us upon arrival.

    I can't say enough great things about this house and the owners. The owners are fantastic and were in constant communication before and during our stay. We already booked our two weeks for next summer :)

    We had an amazing time at Idle Way in Harwich. The house is immaculate, very well organized, clean and the decor is so inviting. The outdoor patio area is fantastic with plenty of room and amenities for the entire family to enjoy. Close to Harwich beaches and downtown Harwichport, this house has it all!

    We're life long Cape Cod vacationers turned homeowners in summer 2020. It has long been a dream of ours to buy a small piece of our ''happy place'' and make it our own. We've done just that! We updated almost every surface of this house and furnished it with a focus on function and aesthetics.

    What is special about this property?
    For us, the Cape represents a gathering place, memories in the making and time spent with family and friends. The house comfortably sleeps 10 with gatherings spaces both indoors and out. And not because you're on vacation doesn't mean you still can't work out, we have a peloton bike with tons of options from biking, cardio, strength and yoga in addition to free weights! We set out to be family friendly so bring the kids along! We have a travel crib, a high chair, toys, books and puzzles. We have floaties, bikes and yard games ... just to name a few!

    What is special about your town?
    Harwich is centrally located mid-Cape. Our home is walking distance to a park, tennis and basketball courts and the bike path. We're 1.7 miles to Bank St beach and just over 2.2 miles to Red River beach.

    There's no shortage of scenic landscapes; 11 miles of shoreline along Nantucket Sound and Pleasant Bay, 4 harbors, cranberry bogs, freshwater ponds and reservoirs, river corridors and 448 acres of conservation land to explore.

    While you are here, check out the local artisan galleries and shops or enjoy a day at the spa. Visit one of Harwich's historical landmarks or catch a play at a local theatre. There are always events and activities happening in Harwich.

    Harwich offers a relaxed lifestyle with delicious dining and great shopping. It's a great place to visit, though we think it's an even better place to live!
