** We've just completed a major renovation of Ship's Light! Having stood the test of time for almost 200 years, the house now has a new foundation, upgraded systems and a modified floor plan. We've worked had to maintain the character and charm of the antique home, while bringing it up to modern standards. We can't wait for renters to experience the results for the 2025 summer season and beyond!

The Lillian Spohn apartment is the most changed as a result of the renovation. While theprior apartment had low ceilings, a 1/2 bath inside and an outdoor shower, the renovated apartment has full-height ceilings, a full bath, a large bedroom, an open kitchen/dining room/living room and a large screened in porch. The apartment is fully airconditioned and heated via solar-powered heat pumps. Check out the new photos, but note that reviews prior to July 2025 are of the old apartment.**

Ship’s Light has looked down Cross Street to Chatham Village Center for almost 200 years. Built and occupied by some of Chatham’s most eminent residents since 1828, it was converted to four housekeeping apartments for summer visitors circa 1945. Lovingly restored by long-time current owners, this gracious antique home offers modern comfort and convenience with the character and charm of a bygone era.

The 'Lillian Spohn' apartment is on the 2nd floor and is newly-renovated in 2025. It has a new modern kitchen with full-sized appliances; an inside eating area that accommodates 2 - 4 people; a large screened in porch with a comfortable seating area and table and chairs for 4; a large living room with smart-TV; a large bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed and stackable washer/dryer; and a full bath with tub/shower. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house. A side yard and gas grills are also available for renters. The house is equipped with two Level 2 EV chargers for use by renters.

Centrally located within a short walking distance of excellent Chatham dining, shopping, movies and band concerts, the house is three blocks from the town salt water beach on Oyster Pond, and one mile from Coast Guard Beach, a great stretch of Atlantic Ocean and dunes. Many individuals, couples and extended families consider Ship’s Light their vacation home. We invite you to join them in making your vacation something special.

The Lillian Spohn apartment at Ship’s Light is rented for longer stays during the summer and a 2-night minimum during the shoulder and off-seasons. Other units with unique features are also available and the whole house can be rented as a 5 bedroom home for family gatherings.

    Location of property was outstanding. Walking distance to Main Street shops and restaurants. House was spacious, and extremely comfortable and cozy. Looking forward to a return stay in the future. Wished we had stayed a few more days to enjoy it more.

    This is an excellent choice for staying close to downtown Chatham! The one bedroom had more than enough room and the sunroom was such a nice bonus. The owner was very responsive with a quick question we had before checking in. I would recommend this stay for anyone wanting to stay in a charming location close to the center!

    Beautiful and spacious property. Check in was super easy. Screened in porch was so nice to spend time on eating breakfast. Location to Main Street was superb and really was an ideal home base for all our exploring in the Chatham area. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to stay again.
