Welcome to our totally updated 'old Cape' style cottage. Guests have access to a wide variety of indoor, outdoor, and beach amenities.

The Space:
Designed for today's living while retaining its 'old Cape' charm, the sunny, open spaces and updated amenities will allow you to effortlessly enjoy your vacation. Available year-round whether to relax at the beach, to celebrate holidays, or just as an off-season get away.

The comfortable living space encourages everyone to gather for a spirited game of Chathamopoly or to snuggle in for a night at the movies. Here you’ll find a 42” TV, wireless internet, books, and games.

The gourmet kitchen features a large island and is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, microwave, and professional cookware.

Each bedroom is uniquely decorated. There is an elegant couples retreat with a queen bed. A bright room with two twin beds that celebrates the beach cottage theme. Finally, feel like you're sleeping aboard a sailing vessel with the nautical themed twin over full bunk bed.

Keep the beach clutter and laundry contained in the back 'sandroom' with a full-size washer/dryer and easy access to the outdoor shower that has both hot and cold running water.

Central heating and air conditioning keeps the cottage comfortable regardless of the weather.

Included in the cost is a linen service providing fresh bed linens and bath towels. Other essentials like comforters/blankets, pillows, paper goods, and cleaning products are also provided, but remember to bring your own beach towels.

Outside:
Outdoors there is a large lawn for games, a sunny patio with ample seating and both a gas and charcoal grill, a covered front porch, and off-street parking. For the beach there are several chairs, a beach umbrella, and umbrella anchor in the basement.

The large 1/2 acre lot is wooded on 3 sides, offering a fantastic sense of privacy, but the yard stays sunny and is great place for games or a round of tag.

A large bluestone patio right off the kitchen catches the warm afternoon sun and offers ample seating for entertaining. Fix a drink and unwind while cooking the catch of the day on either the gas or charcoal grill.

For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, there is a single exterior security camera strategically positioned to monitor the driveway and front walk only. Guest privacy is maintained on the rest of the property. There are no interior cameras.

The Neighborhood:
The cottage is tucked away on a quiet, private street, but remains close to everything wonderful that Chatham and the Cape have to offer!

One of the best beaches on the Sound, Hardings Beach, is less than 1 mile away. There is sidewalk access from our cottage to the beach for a safe walk or bike ride. We are also just a short drive to the other beaches on Nantucket Sound, Oyster Pond, or School House Pond, which is one of the nicest fresh water ponds in the area.

For bikers it is easy to pick up the Old Colony Rail trail to Harwich where it connects to the Cape Cod rail trail that runs 22 miles from Dennis to Wellfleet.

The charming Main Street of Chatham Village is less than 2 miles east on Rte 28. Harwichport is a few miles west. Both favorite spots for a day of shopping or a night out.

House Rules:
The first rule is always to relax and have fun! To continue to keep the cottage enjoyable for everyone we also ask that you:
- Do not smoke
- Do not bring your pets (sorry, but we have allergies)
- Be respectful of our neighbors as several live here full time
- Leave the cottage clean and organized when you depart; Dispose of all remaining food and place garbage in the outside bin; Load, run and empty the dishwasher; Strip the bed linens, gather used bath towels, and place on the floor for the linen service
- Report any damages or concerns to the Owners so that we may address the issues.

    Very nice, clean property. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Not as close to Hardings Beach as we thought but only a 2 minute drive.

    Property was exactly as described. It was absolutely perfect and well stocked with everything we could probably need. There were tons of games & puzzles which my 8 year old loved. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor shower was amazing! I loved that it was tucked away, felt super private. The yard was a great size for playing outside. Location was close to Chatham Center. We loved going to the new coffee shop Hey Joe & Jam. My only thing was that I used their linens and ran out of time for them to completely dry after the wash, not an issue on their part maybe poor planning on mine, but next time I would have just used my own linens to avoid that and be able to enjoy the last morning. Overall it was perfect!

    The cottage was very nice. It is on a secluded property and very nice and quiet. We had a good time, and really enjoyed our time at the cottage. There were a few things that were different from the listing: check out time, and the folding of bedsheets and laundry. Check out time was changed to 10 instead of 11, and we had to wake up and wash all our bedding and towels, dry them, THEN fold them and place them in the respective rooms. All the dishes had to be cleaned and emptied out of the dishwasher. This we didn’t find to be a problem to do, except when we saw one of the supposedly “clean” mugs in the cupboard was dirty (we didn’t find it till the last day, right when we were busy checking out). These things are that terrible for us as we were in a hurry to get on a flight, but we can’t imagine if one needs to get on a flight the morning of. Otherwise, nice place.

    The house way the perfect layout for a great family vacation. My kids loved the bunk room, the kitchen was a great size and had an eat-in large table which was so helpful for family meals. We truly enjoyed our stay in this home and would love to rent it again next year.

    This property is exactly as stated. Pictures are spot on. Home is secluded and the perfect representation of the Cape with its charm and beautiful decor. My husband and I didn't get to take advantage of everything this home had to offer because we did eat out often, but I thought about how perfect this home would be for someone that would be flying to Cape Cod , because you would have everything you need and could pack light. We didn’t need to reach out to the owner, and that was because everything was well documented and organized on how to use everything. Absolutely perfect home for a family with kids, a yard to play in, loads of board games, puzzles etc. This was our first time on Cape Cod and we enjoyed exploring and will definitely be back and would love to stay here again. Definitely visit the Chatham fishing pier for a lobster roll- the absolute best- still thinking about it! Of all the areas we visited Chatham was the most quaint area, and it was much cooler than other parts of the Cape.Owners of this property set the bar- and we are so happy we got to spend time here.

    We enjoyed our stay at this well appointed house. It has everything you need for a great vacation. We rented bikes from Dennis Cycle and they delivered. We liked Hardings Beach but also took the Beachcomber water taxi from the fish pier twice and went to Coast Guard beach twice (not on our bikes). We loved Macs for dinner as the food was great and it was so close to the house! The house is very private and the neighborhood is quiet, a nice reprieve from the bustle of downtown Chatham. We will definitely be back!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Chatham. The owner, Mike, was very responsive to any questions that we had. The house is well maintained and in a great location. We would highly recommend staying at this residence.
