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!

We were thrilled with the property. It checked all the boxes. It was very clean and had all the necessities for a 6 day stay. The hosts were very helpful and great to work with. Would book again any time we visit the Cape. 5 stars!!!!! We would hiighly recommend.
Great location with direct access to Cape Cod Rail Trail, very close to kettle ponds and ocean-side beach, private, large, clean, well-appointed and comfortable home!
Beautiful home, exactly what we needed for 5 adults and grandson. Very clean, excellent amenities, great location in center of the Cape. Hadn’t visited the Cape for over a decade, this home played a key part in making this a fantastic family get together.
Beautiful well kept home in a quiet neighborhood. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and easy access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Wonderful hosts. Highly recommend this property.
We have stayed here numerous times in the past. Have always enjoyed it. The owner is very easy to work with, And would recommend it highly for a nice quiet peaceful get away
This was our second time staying here and it was just as good as the first stay. Perfect location-mid cape, right on the rail trail, clean and comfortable rental and the owner, Elaine is great to work with. Next time we vacation on the cape we will definitely stay here again.
Once again , an excellent time awesome weather , excellent time
Very relaxing get away. We always enjoy all the amenities of the house ,especially the Cape Cod rail trail located just out the back door,very convenient.
The fine restaurants all around the area, and just the all around relaxing atmosphere at the beach. Look forward to coming back..
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!!
We had a grezt time. 3rd time back to this home from Michigan. Located right on the CC bike trail. Easy drive to anywhere. Home is great and supplied. We will see you next year!
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.
Elaine is so accommodating and responsive- a pleasure to deal with. I’ve stayed at many a vrbo site and this was the best one! House is spacious, clean and didn’t even lose power when Tropical Storm Lee visited!
We would love to come again next year. September on the Cape is great!
For our first visit to Cape Cod, we had a wonderful experience overall. The home was comfortable, spacious and we had everything we needed. Elaine was easy to communicate with and accessible. We will absolutely be returning for another stay.
This was our return visit to this home. It is spacious and clean with all you need for a great cape vacation. Elaine is a great communicator and made everything simple. We traveled with our dog and it is great for him too. I highly recommend!
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.
Home is spacious, everything you need is provided, and the location is great. The biking/walking trail is nearby and is a beautiful trail. The owner was very quick to respond to any issues. Having a garage was an added benefit.
We’ve stayed at this property multiple times and it’s always fabulous! We love the outdoor shower, large deck in proximity to the bike trail. Elaine is a joy to work with and always have a wonderful time.!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It suited our family very well and gave us plenty of space to be together.

Outstanding location on a quiet cul-de-sac road that backs up to the Cape Trail for biking and walking. Very clean and beautiful home. Nice deck for relaxing and enjoying the morning sun. Definitely recommend!
Beautiful home and grounds. Great communication with the owner. The location is in a great spot with access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail off the back yard. We all loved the updated bathroom and our huge master bedroom. Already planning to stay here next year.
