“welcome home to Green Harbor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This was my second year returning to GH. The group of families I traveled with has been making an annual Columbus Day weekend pilgrimage there for over a decade. The accomodations were not only clean and comfortable, they were homey and welcoming. The weekend flew by and it was with sadness that we left on Monday morning. We traveled with small children, teenagers, and the rest of us middle agers... a great time was had by all. We can't wait to return next year. Driving home, I realized I forget my cell phone charger. I called and Janet offered to mail it to me the next day. The package arrived in my mailbox Thursday. I highly recommend Green Harbor for your next vacation at Cape Cod.

Sorry for the late response. We have been out on the property doing inventory and making
maintenace lists; it's never too soon to get ready for 2012. Our small staff is big on attention to detail, one reason why we welcome back so many guests year after year. Thank you for your kind comments. Janice @ Green Harbor front desk

“Excellent "Resort" for families with small children”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I must explain that I took off a star because I believe that the term resort has been overused as of late and Green Harbor is very pricey without all of the amenities one would expect from a real resort, such as a concierge, spa and onsite restaurants. It is, however, part of the Red Jacket Resort, which has a very modest version of the aforementioned amenities, but still not what I think of as a real resort.
Nonetheless, it is very clean, beach front, and located on the harbor side with small waves which makes it much easier for water babies and their parents. There is also an outdoor pool, playscape, daily children's entertainment (kids club, magic show, arts & crafts) and boats available for rent.
One can rent either a cottage, townhouse, or 3 BR suite which includes a full kitchen. Again, very user friendly for those with small children who don't wish to battle the heavy traffic on Route 6.

We appreciate your feedback. Your description aptly stated our amenities and different room types, thus you can see the challenge in coming up with the right descriptive "name." We are not a hotel or motel or a village or just a cottage colony. We do fit the description of a resort in this definition "A compound of buildings and facilities located in a scenic area, providing lodgings, entertainment, and a relaxing environment to people on vacation ..."

Our residential location prohibits us from having a restaurant, thus the kitchen in all of our accommodations. Our front desk staff is well trained in assisting guests with all their traveling needs. We listen to our guest comments and each year strive to improve the family feeling that makes a Green Harbor vacation one to remember. Thank you again for sharing your Green Harbor vacation expereince. Janice @ the Green Harbor front desk

“Something for everyone”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We just returned from a 4 night stay at Green Harbor. My husband and I had a Cape Codder for 2 and it was the perfect size. Not only did we have a great water view, but we had a large deck with chairs and a picnic table to use. That really made our living space seem much larger.
Our unit was spotlessly clean and well equipped for cooking. The property does not have a restaurant on the premises, but there are many great restaurants on Highway 28 as well as a large grocery store within a 10 minute drive. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom just big enough for 2.
We went to the beach, used the beach chairs, rode bicycles, rowed a canoe and relaxed on our deck. This is a great place for relaxing and getting away from it all.
The location is pretty much right in the middle of Cape Cod, which allowed us to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard from Woods Hole and travel all the way to Provincetown. I feel as if the central location allowed us to see all of Cape Cod very easily.

You were fortunate to be here this year for our unusually warm October "summer weather." We close on Columbus Day each year, but as you discovered, Fall is a great time to experience Green Harbor's amenities, as well as the Cape Cod and Islands activities. We do answer the phone year 'round, so give us a call when you plan a return trip to our area. Thank you for writing.

“Wish We Could Have Stayed Longer!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We had a two night stay at this wonderful place. It was our first visit to Cape Cod and the central location was perfect. It was just the right distance from Route 28 - far enough away to enjoy the seclusion, but close enough to get to restaurants and attractions. Our one bedroom townhome was spotlessly clean and the view from the bedroom window was breathtaking! The staff was friendly and helpful. The beach was great! There are so many different accommodations to choose from that there is surely something for everyone! We truly wish we could have stayed longer. We have already recommended it to others and will definitely stay there again during any future visits to the area!

Room Tip: The one bedroom townhome does have "steep" steps to the bedroom, but the view from the bed...

You are correct ... two nights is not long enough to see all that Cape Cod has to offer. We are appreciative that you are sharing your Green Harbor vacation experience with your friends.
Our larger three and four bedroom houses are great for a group of family or friends to gather, or if you prefer the oceanfront townhouse that you stayed in this year, we will gladly welcome you back for a return visit. Thanks again, Janice at the Green Harbor front desk

We stayed here for 3 nights in Sept 2010. We liked it so much, we came back for a week in one of their cape codders for 4. It is so nice to find a quiet base for all the things you like to do on the Cape. We will be back, for sure.

You are now an official repeat guest ! There are lots of places to explore on Cape Cod, and as a 40 year resident, I still haven't found them all. You are correct in saying that Green Harbor is a great central location where you can start the day with a homemade breakfast in your fully equipped kitchen, and return home for an afternoon swim in the heated pool before dinner. Thank you for taking time to write a review. Janice @ the Green Harbor front desk
