Renovated Chatham Cottage – Steps to Beach

Ed’s house was exactly what we needed for our little Cape getaway. Yes, the pictures do show an antiquated house, but it was very clean & cozy and Ed has the house well stocked with almost anything you could need. The location was PERFECT. If it takes you more than 2 minutes to walk to the small neighborhood beach, you’re doing something wrong. I also appreciated how responsive Ed was and even allowed for an early check-in as there was no guest staying the night before. This is a house my family would definitely stay again.

The place was perfect! Very comfortable and welcoming. Very close to ocean.

I travel every summer to the Cape & stay in the area. This location was great but it could benefit from some general maintenance, standard supplies & TLC.

This house is definitely dated, has a LOT of spiders (I mean LOTS), and was not the cleanest. We were later than the check in time, and the cleaning couple was still there, but they were very nice and tried to finish quickly. BUT, the location was excellent since it was a quick walk to the beach. It also had three bedrooms to accommodate me, my elderly parents and my twin teens. It certainly needs some work, and the kitchen has a tiny eating space if you are looking to do more eating in. The owner was sweet when the circuit breaker clicked off (cannot use blow dryers in the bedrooms), but be warned... it is located in the spider lair in the basement. We will probably not return, though it served us okay for the week.

The property is exactly as the pictures show. Primary selling point was it is around the corner from the beach - an outstanding location! House a bit rustic, but overall clean and well kept. Plenty of towels, utensils, lobster pot...what else do you need? Outside and inside water pressure on showers was great. Washer and dryer worked very well and is a big plus. South Chatham location is outstanding - centrally located for the entire Cape for early day trips to all the towns, while afternoons on the beach and evenings out to dinner or bringing in during this crazy time. Pisces, Talkative Pig, Delmar, BlueFin - all fantastic. Real find was the Chatham Fish Market down at the docks. Freshest lobster, oysters, tuna, etc. that you can find. Pick up from there and cook at the house - and make sure to watch the seals when you're there. Overall a great week - great location, great food, and great weather....we'll be back!

We love this cottage! Super close to the beach, well appointed, clean and cozy.

We had a lovely break from COVID-19; the weather cooperated, the beach was nice and visited some of the nearby local towns... all while social distancing! The house was enjoyable, clean , fully stocked and up the hill from the beach! Excellent trip!

We had a lovely time staying here (my husband and I, and 2 kids- age 4 and 6) as a getaway after months of staying at home. The house was a perfect size for us and was around the corner from the Pleasant St beach, where we spent our days. And the kids loved the outdoor shower. Close to a number of restaurants etc where we got takeout and ate outside on the picnic table each night. Excellent communication with the property manager and owner! We will be back!

Extremely conveniently located, well equipped and we were greeted by Ed's Mom who was delightful. We had to depart early due to an illness in the family but not for any other reason. The Cape is wonderful. Bryant & Susie

Quiet neighborhood, super close to beach. Very clean. Enjoyed the stay. Close to Harwich center and Chatham center.
