Renovated cottage 1 mile to beach in Chatham!

For over 20 years, I have rented homes via online and there are definitely minimum expectations of a vacation rental. Pros - excellent communication with host. She was very nice to accommodate an early arrival which was appreciated. The cute cottage interior is clean and comfortable. Bathroom is tiny but clean. Beds were comfortable. Nice, quiet neighborhood. By car - 8 minutes to center of Chatham, 5 minutes to Ridgevale Beach. Location is excellent!Cons - biggest caution - the backyard - it is very neglected, unlike any other property I’ve rented. When you rent a beach house there are expectations - one being a clean grill with barbecue tools and two, a clean, welcoming outdoor space. You will not get this at the cottage. There is no grill cover and so the grill is filthy - covered with dirt and pollen. The patio is dirty and overgrown with weeds. The wooden furniture is weathered and there are no cushions. There is old trashy fencing thrown in the back of the shed next to a haphazard wooden bench. The furniture wasn’t even set up nicely for our arrival - I don’t think anyone has touched this space in many months. This backyard is not where you want to sit and relax after a nice day. Some simple TLC would easily fix this. We did not use the coffee machine but an old coffee pod was still in the machine. This makes me question - when was the last time it was cleaned?The twin bed comforters and thin bed pillows appear old as do the bathroom mats.

Nice clean cottage. We enjoyed our stay.

Spotless house, super comfy beds, everything you’d need in a kitchen! Everything was perfect, thanks so much for having us.

The house was perfect! Very quiet area but very close to everything in town. We were very comfortable every evening and enjoyed breakfasts there each morning. Great location for a Cape getaway!

It reminded us so much of the cottage we owned in Chatham for over 40 years . Simple but comfortable with perfect Cape touches in decor. Very convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. We will return next year!

The house was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay!

The cottage is as cute as can be-sparkling clean with lots of extras in kitchen and such to make anyone's stay easier. Location is a very quiet little neighborhood, but close to most of what Chatham is all about. Though it was too chilly for us to use, the backyard is very cute and adds to the overall quaintness. Would recommend without hesitation.

We loved our stay at this cute house just an 8 minute drive from downtown Chatham. Something to note is that you need to order your sheets/towels beforehand. We were unaware of this until check in process.

Great cottage, everything we needed for a really relaxing time. Good location close to everything we needed (by car).

Location was key to be near family for activities planned. Just right for the two of us. Host was very responsive to my questions before booking and sent me a reminder with information about the area with directions. Quiet neighborhood and a Pleasant stay.
