Overlooking the saltwater inlet of Bucks Creek Marsh, this stunning waterfront home affords the quintessential Cape Cod experience. An easy walk, Harding’s Beach promises a fun-filled day of swimming, volleyball, and beach bocce (a local specialty). There is even a water route to Ridgevale Beach via kayak or rowboat. To watch the day’s catch come in, drive to Chatham Pier Fish Market (open seasonally).
This stylish home boasts 3,136 square feet of luxurious living space. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and intriguing artwork create a sophisticated style, while large windows provide incredible views throughout the home. Spend quality time together in the cozy den with charming rustic-chic decor and plenty of comfortable seating. Unwind on the leather sofa and watch a movie on the 54” TV, or use the telescope to check out the stars. A welcoming sunroom provides an additional social area. Greet the morning with a cup of coffee at the breakfast table. Sharpen your culinary skills in the impressive chef’s kitchen with two stainless steel Wolf ovens, three sinks, and a five-burner gas range. While dinner simmers, concoct a drink at the wet bar with a wine fridge, then perch at the kitchen island with seats for guests. When it’s time to eat, gather at the dining table for meals with a view.
Enjoy leisurely afternoons saltwater fishing off the private dock, or spend the day on the water in one of the three kayaks or two rowboats provided. As evening falls, rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax with a cold beverage on the 60' mahogany deck. Then fire up the grill and dine amid breathtaking views as the sun sets over the water.

Lovely house, with lots of space and a very large kitchen. Best part, as others have written, is the location overlooking a beautiful estuary. Very close to a nice beach as well.
Love the location of property.
We have rented several houses in the area over the years and this is the best place we've ever stayed in. It is clean, the kitchen has everything you need for cooking a family dinner, the furniture is comfortable and nothing is broken. The view from the house is amazing and the neighborhood is quiet. We were able to paddle board off the dock in the evenings and enjoy sunsets on the back deck. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Waking up each morning as the birds arrived to work the marsh was like watching a ballet. Took a walk on the dock only to see a 24 inch Stripped Bass meandering by looking for bait. Great place to enjoy the Chatham.
There is a lot to like about this property: if you are a wildlife enthusiast, you will be super happy with this house. As noted, it is located on a pond, and there is an abundance of wildlife. As the tide ebbs and flows, you can observe the natural rhythm of the environment. My wife and I spent hours sitting on the deck watching the amazing wildlife. There were only 2 of us, so we had more than enough room in this expansive house. The kitchen is outstanding and is at gourmet chef level. The sitting areas on the main level are comfy, with large windows on all sides of the house so that you can enjoy the amazing views of the pond. I must say that the towels provided are skimpy--there was only one kitchen dish towel, so we had to use towels that were intended for bathroom use. Since there were only 2 of us, it wasn't a problem to use the small hand/face towels that were intended for the bathroom in the kitchen. We also thought that the quality of the towels and bed linen was lackluster. We are not looking for super premium quality towels or bed linen, but it is worth noting that the covering on the two queen beds is a thin sub-quality blanket. The comforters on the three twin beds is of better quality. Note that the mattresses on the queen beds is super firm! If you like beds with super hard mattresses, then you will be psyched. However, if you prefer a tad more supple to your mattress, then it will be a challenge. Interacting with the management company (Vacasa) was not as great as dealing directly with an owner. I have stayed in many properties around the world where I have interacted directly with the owner, and the experience has been excellent because the owner knows the house and truly cares that you have a good experience. In this instance, my dealings with Vacasa were not consistently good. They addressed an issue I had with the dishwasher, but did not address another issue. Overall however, I had a good week at the property. Would likely stay somewhere else though the next time I return to the Cape.
Great property. Views hard to beat anywhere on the Cape.
We were 6 adult family members vacationing together. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable time; cozy but at the same time plenty of space! The back deck has a lovely view of the inlet. Watching the tide come in and go out afforded us a display of bird life on the water and sandbars.
My husband and I spent three wonderful days at this home. The downstairs is extraordinary! So much glass looking out over an ever changing estuary, large kitchen, many indoor comfortable places to set and veg. And outdoors as well. The deck has plenty of chairs and I kayaked numerous time all around the estuary and to the near-by beach. The bird watching was great! My only complaints are around the bedding, not great linens and even worse pillows, but as we traveled by car, we brought our own pillows. The upstairs lay out of bedrooms is a bit odd, but as this visit was just for my husband and I, we were quite content. I would absolutely recommend this home (just bring your own pillows and eye shades).
This is a terrific property in a lovely part of Chatham. It is located on a tidal river and the view changes hourly. It is walkable to the beach. The house features a very well equipped kitchen., comfortable furniture and beds. The one quirky aspect of the house is the “Jack and Jill” bathroom that connects the two queen size bedrooms. Need to share with very good friends or family.
Everything about this rental gets an A+. The online pictures were true to life, the managing company, was super responsive, access to house was easy peazy, the location was ideal, the kayak rides to the beach were amazing, the furniture was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the view from the enormous deck was stunning
