Rent this impeccably maintained home located in desirable Chatham neighborhood south of Route 28. Forest Street Beach on Nantucket Sound, a little piece of heaven, just 5/10th's of a mile, +/- down the street. This charming, upscale beach house has been beautifully updated and close to beaches, shopping, dining, conservation, tennis, ferry, and bike trails. Central A/C newly installed!

Our home offers a spacious, open floor plan filled with lots of natural light. Solid Maple Hardwood floors throughout. Large, sunny family room with brick fireplace and built-ins. The upgraded kitchen features honed granite countertops, an island/ breakfast bar, and a separate dining area. Natural stone tiled baths, large bedrooms, and closets. The main-floor master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and private deck access. This room is spacious and can accommodate a portable crib if needed. There is a second bedroom also located on the main floor which has two twin beds.

Fully finished, walkout basement adds another 630 square feet of living space, including a family room/den, bathroom, and an extra room for use as a playroom or office. The lower level's day bed and pull-out couch are perfect for your older kids or guests who want a private space of their own.

Our home is newly furnished and stocked with books, board games, movies, beach supplies, a gas grill, and a very spacious outdoor shower!

Enjoy morning coffee on the brick terrace, cocktails on the private multi-tiered deck, and strolls past conservation land to Forest Street Beach. The white sands and warm waters of Nantucket Sound make it perfect for young children learning to swim, while older kids and adults enjoy sailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling. The sunsets are amazing and the beach never gets too busy. Catch glimpses of passing sailboats as you enjoy sunset barbecues or clam bakes, and cocktails with family and friends. Ride a bike through our quiet neighborhoods to Pleasant St or Red River Beaches. Explore the Cape Cod rail trail - also located just 5/10th's of a mile, +/- away. Take a drive to view breathtaking bluffs overlooking endless beaches at the Cape Cod National Seashore and drive a little further to explore Provincetown. Take a ferry out of Harwichport (3 mi) to Nantucket. Looking for more stunning scenery Visit Chatham Lighthouse Beach (2.5 mi) and afterward visit downtown for world-class dining and shopping on Main Street, a summer band concert, or a Chatham Angler's baseball game.

Centrally located at the “elbow” of Cape Cod, Chatham is a true Cape gem. Said to be as quaint as Nantucket without the boat ride, enjoy the main street and its unique shops, restaurants, theaters, and inns. Relax at the scenic beaches perfect for sunning, swimming, boogie-boarding, kayaking, windsurfing, or sailing. If the salt water is not your thing, try one of the calm spring-fed glacial kettle ponds which is a great alternative for young kids. Enjoy public golf courses. There are public tennis courts within walking distance. Check out the Cape Cod bike trail perfect for both avid cyclists and families. For some unique adventure hop on a water taxi at The Chatham Fish Pier to your private space on secluded South Beach or explore Monomoy Island. Try deep-sea fishing, whale or seal watching, kiteboarding, or catch the island ferries to the Vineyard or Nantucket. Kids love the go-carts, bumper boats, skateboard park, and miniature golf. In the evenings, enjoy the traditional downtown Friday Night Band Concerts in the park or take in a CCBL, Cape Cod Baseball League, Chatham Anglers game at Veterans Field, a play at the outstanding Monomoy summer theater, Like most people, you may just find yourself coming back, year after year.

Please call the property owner Tim (908-902-8631) for booking and help in planning your stay. We look forward to serving you!

    Very nice, comfortable house for a week long stay. Clean, effective air conditioning system and comfortable for sleeping. Convenient to 4 beaches in Chatham, and close to mill creek for bird watching. Attractive property, lots of outdoor, shaded seating, patio, etc. Quiet area throughout the day and evening. Almost no noise, so a relaxing spot.

    We had a great stay! We especially loved the location with close proximity to both Harwich and Chatham , as well as the beach right down the road. Beds upstairs were very comfortable, however the downstairs sleeping arrangements could use some improvements. Overall it was a great house and we would definitely stay again!

    We were very impressed with Seaglass cottage. They were so many extra special amenities, such as robes and a brand new high-tech air conditioning system along with everything being absolutely immaculate. Every detail of the house was lovingly prepared. The only thing that seemed a little odd is that we were not allowed to use the washer or dryer. I don’t usually rent any property without access to a washer dryer, but I must say all the amenities made up for it. Also, I appreciated how responsive via tax the owner was when I couldn’t get the beeping on the stove to stop. We ended up googling it and fixing it, but the owner was very responsive and pleasant via text.

    We checked in on an incredibly hot weekend and we were very happy to find that Tim was installing an AC unit in the lower level which was lovely. The AC in the rooms made sleeping very comfortable . We took the car to Forest Beach because of the heat but parking was really easy. The waters edge was full of shells and rocks so we needed water shoes, but the water was lovely. We tried out a few beaches including Nauset. The Atlantic water was chilly but felt good in the heat. The house had everything we needed, including a TON of DVDs and VHS old school tapes. There are books everywhere if you have some quiet time. Restaurants are close. Be sure to make some reservations ahead .

    This is a great property for a small family. The location is great being such a short ride into downtown Chatham and near several beaches. The drawbacks are: they do not have central air and the only 2 air conditioners in the bedroom are extremely loud. They advertise it as 2 bathrooms but unfortunately the downstairs toilet was not working even after trying the trick they thought worked to refill the tank. I was pleasantly surprised though by how well they have stocked the house with so many amenities which made it so much easier to cook and head to the beach without having to bring a lot of supplies from our home.

    The house was very nice with a beautiful deck. The neighborhood was quiet and close to the bike path . Chatham is a great area of the cape. Only “ complaint “ would be the seating in the living room upstairs. Can’t comfortably seat a family of four . Two couches or a sectional would be a great improvement .

    Enjoyed the rear deck, yard and fire pit. Close to the beach. Nice house. Could have used more regular drinking glasses, serving platters and a place to store groceries. Chaise lounges on the deck would be a nice addition.
