Summary: Wonderful old house, great for a large party.
Roger P. Jul 13, 2025 10:15:51 PM
Summary: We had an epic week at this beautiful property. This Harwich Port location is centrally located to so many activities at the Cape which we fully enjoyed. Everything at the house contributed to our enjoyment from grandkids to grandparents.
Steve G. Jul 2, 2025 03:49:03 AM
Summary: Terrific location for a short walk to downtown and for a wedding at the beach club across the street.
Kathleen W. Jun 23, 2025 07:54:10 AM
Summary: The house and surrounding gardens / grounds were lovely! The house was well equipped and accommodated 15 adults and an infant perfectly. Great location for walking to beach plus driving to other parts of the Cape. Owners were very accessible to address concerns. Only negative was WiFi connection which was unreliable.
donald m. Oct 11, 2024 01:01:02 AM
Summary: This home sits on a stunning piece of property across the street from the harbor. The inside is charming, comfortable and homey. We also rented the cottage on the back on the property. Just as wonderful. We didn't lack for anything. Communication with the owners was wonderful! We hope to have an opportunity to rent again some time in the future!
Diane D. Jul 21, 2024 11:02:12 AM
Summary: This home is wonderful with a vast lawn and lovely gardens throughout the property. The location close to the village and beaches is great. The large main house and cottage are well appointed with modern amenities while maintaining the charm characteristic of a quintessential Cape Cod home. Our family of 14 found the property delightful and a comfortable fit for our large group. The hosts were very responsive to our needs and communication was great! I would highly recommend this property for a multigenerational family vacation.
Pamela P. Jul 15, 2024 05:21:42 AM
Summary: This property was beautiful. The home contains everything you need for a vacation in Cape Cod. The grounds are gorgeous. There are numerous sitting areas both outside and in which enable quiet contemplation, group conversation, and extensive play area for children. The harbor is right across the street providing a beautiful view. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cookware, silverware, dishes, serving dishes, glassware, and necessary appliances. We were a family of 15 and were able to sit very comfortably at long dining tables both inside and outside on the patio. The home is within walking distance of town, several restaurants, and the beach (maybe 15 minutes to the beach). The owners could not have been any more accommodating and were readily available. Communication was particularly good and personal. The beds were comfortable, as was all of the furniture and the house is very open and inviting. We would certainly return.

Summary: My family recently rented Stepping Stones and Pebbles for a week and had a wonderful experience - highly recommend renting this beautiful property! Perfect rental for a larger group, plenty of space to gather together while also offering lots of privacy with bedrooms and bathrooms. The house comes equipped with everything you would need for your stay - grill, fire pit, outdoor furniture, beach chairs, coolers, bikes… David and Marylynn were responsive and helped answer any question I had, very easy to work with! My family had the best week spending time together creating memories! Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful home!
Allie F. Sep 5, 2023 09:39:49 PM
Summary: Marylynn and David were the best hosts and we had a wonderful stay at their beautiful home for our wedding! The house is in a great location within walking distance to town and the beach. It was so nice to have my whole family together in one place with plenty of room!
Fred M. Jun 13, 2023 07:21:58 AM
Summary: This was a fantastic rental for location, venue, scenery, property, home accommodations and coordination experience. Well done and very memorable for our large family. Hosts were involved and available throughout entire rental process and our stay. Stepping Stones will always be a sweet memory for us.
