563 Pleasant Lake Ave., Harwich

Situated on the CCRT and close to shopping areas. The house was electronically wired to Alexa and was easy to manage the lights, music, and indoor temperature. The bedrooms were nicely situated on different floors.

Location was good. Very convenient and the pond across the street is good for swimming, Walking trails nearby. The house was clean enough. I’m a clean freak and it was adequate. Bringing your own sheets and towels was a inconvenience. We were there for a wedding and drove but it I was flying, that would not be possible. The yard and enclosed porch were nice. The owners could remove some of the decorative items. Way too much stuff in the house and no room to put anything. Very cluttered. I would rent again but prefer a house that offers linens.

Lovely!! We love being able to go to the beach and then hit the lake after. The house is great

What a wonderful place to stay!! This house is adorable. It was clean and well kept! Even the windows sparkled! I especially loved being across the street from the lake! Walking over there for sunsets every night was delightful! It was great to swim there after going to the ocean beach during the day! We spent quite a few days just swimming and hanging by the lake! The convenience of having the bike trail right there is awesome! The sunroom was so fun to do puzzles in and play cards and games. This place is walking distance to the general store which is very handy. The beds were comfortable! Everyone had so much fun! Love it here!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely property with old and new Cape Cod charm. Plenty of room for 7 adults. The bedrooms are spacious and the two living rooms enable some to watch television and others to read without being on top of each other. The back deck and sun room are perfect for afternoon and evening games and cocktails. Over all the property is well maintained. A great location with easy access to the bike trail, beaches, Harwich, Brewster as well as Route 6 and 6A.

We had to travel 20 minutes past property to get the keys, the house had not been cleaned and checkout time was 9am not 11am as advertised which is difficult if not impossible for a family of 8 to get out by 9am. The property mgmt company was not at all helpful. The property itself was ok, but location was very good. Lots to do in area and right on the bike trail.

We had a very mixed experience with this rental. We never were in the ground floor, as the room was very musty and would have triggered my wife’s allergies.
The middle floor was great for us and we did virtually all of our activities there. The kitchen, dining room and rear porch were very nice. My wife and I had very nice breakfasts on the porch. I didn’t tell my wife this, but I could smell this terrible smell all week from the bedspread in the Master Bedroom on the 1st Floor. We had rented this house anticipating that other family members would come, but they never came. My oldest daughter, Colleen, and her family rented in Dennis (Sesuit Harbor) and they did not want other family members coming, due to coronavirus fears. We went to the lake once, on Thursday, which was a memorable experience. I also rode the Cape Cod Rail Trail on Friday for about 20 miles. I used the outside shower on Friday and grilled on Thursday night. Both experiences were excellent!
