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.

We liked it so much last year that we booked again as soon as we could for this year. Owners are great and the property was just as clean/well kept this year and more charming (backyard was redone to be even better than before). Good location, quiet street. Perfect for us. Highly recommend.

Great location, quiet neighborhood, perfect for our stay in every way. The outdoor space was especially appreciated, everything inside and out was clean and tidy. The house was well equipped, lacking nothing with bonus space in the cute outbuilding including beach/recreation gear. The owners were easy to communicate with and seem super sweet. Highly recommend!

My friend and I stayed here for a girls getaway for my 30th! The room with the twin beds was perfect and felt like our college dorm all over again...with MUCH comfier beds! I would recommend this location and home to anyone looking for a relaxing Cape Cod stay. It is in the perfect location. My only regret is not staying during the summer season!

This house is perfect! Exactly how it appears in the photos. I cannot say enough about how comfortable the house is; decorated just right. Beautiful taste in furnishings; very comfortable bed and linens.We had a wonderful time in Harwich Port. Really enjoyed getting to know the area even though many of the restaurants were closed. Explored all over the Cape. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Springtime retreat
This was our second visit to Harwichport and this warm and inviting cottage on a quiet street a short stroll from the beach. We enjoyed a two weeks of exploring the cape and the numerous beaches and nature preserves in and near Harwich. The home is immaculate and cozy, with a well stocked kitchen, top quality linens and bedding, and a comfy living space complete with stocked bookshelves and games. The converted garage is a big plus, with three bikes for use pedaling the neighborhoods or the nearby rail trail. When we are here we truly feel like we have a home away from home.
