Luxury 5 Bedroom Oceanfront Estate
Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 13191

We booked a week for our vacation from August 6-13, 2022 at 127 Wapoos Trail, Chatham, Mass.
When we arrived, we walked into a garage cluttered with junk, including a used toilet bowl, and various other very dirty items. It smelled.
Although the listing stated A/C/, the A/C did not work in most of the house (thermostat read 78 degrees). The A/C in the master bedroom and bathroom were not working at all and were replaced with a stand alone unit which vented thru a window with plastic around the window. The unit only cooled 6 inches around it and the windows did not open. We could barely breathe. We had to use a fan (which didn't help much). When we spoke with the owner, she blamed everything on the heat wave. The A/C in the other homes, stores, and restaurants all worked beautifully! The T.V. in the master bedroom didn't work either, which she blamed on the people who rented the house before us We struggled thru the next day. The mattress in the master bedroom was concave and unusable. When I contacted the owner, Annie, she told me that there was another mattress in the garage, however, she would be unable to replace the mattress for a few days. Therefore, my son and I had to bring the extremely heavy mattress up to the bedroom, three flights, remove the unusable mattress and replace it with the other mattress.
That night, in the horrible heat, we tried to sleep, unaware of what we would find when we got out of bed the next morning. The entire room was flooded from the "portable air conditioning" ruining everything on the floor including our luggage. We called Annie several times, but did not hear back from her. We even sent several texts. We obviously could not spend another horrible night there with our family. We were lucky to find one place to move to.
In Addition, Linens were stained, Bar-B-Que was filthy—kitchen had to be cleaned
Annie said she didn't return our calls because she was indisposed and that we should not have left. That was not even an option for us.
The above deplorable living conditions forced us to vacate the house and rent another house for the rest of the week, at a much much higher rental price.
Although we requested a refund from Annie, she only agreed to reimburse us for a very small portion of the pre paid rental fee.
Our vacation was terribly interrupted, ruined, and we feel all perspective renters should be aware of the deplorable living conditions at this house.
We also feel that it would be a good idea to have the listings inspected to assure that the house is in proper working condition.

This is a beautiful, unique home located on Morris Island. Morris Island is connected to Chatham by a causeway and is close to the lighthouse. It has its own private beach and is in a very private location. It is, in my opinion, the area of Chatham with the nicest houses. The house is beautifully decorated and furnished, and I couldn’t complain of a thing. My stay here was everything I had hoped for and has been very memorable. The homeowner was very accommodating from day one and made me feel at ease about everything. I hope to return in the future. show more show less

Perfect, relaxing vacation! The location is exactly what I remember from childhood Cape Cod vacations. The sea air and breeze and cool evenings were amazing. The house is perfectly set back from the water's edge. Everything in the house was organized and ready to use. Great cook's kitchen, comfortable family space and quiet bedrooms (we all slept like puppies). Just what my family and I needed. Will return to this gorgeous home for years to come.

My family had vacationed on the Cape for several years and this past summer we decided to rent a larger home than usual and split the rental cost with another family. Of course, it was twice as expensive than what we normally had rented, but we needed the extra room and in reality the house was 3 times the size of the houses that we had rented in the past. It was worth the extra expense on so many levels. First of all, when we arrived, all of the beds were made up beautifully as if we were checking in at a hotel or bed and breakfast. In the past, we had to bring our own linens and in some cases towels as well. Well there was an abundance of everything on this property. Beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, lawn games, children's games, even kayaks! Even the kitchen had every kitchen gadget you could ever want, and every spice, as well. We also had what we laughingly called a 'walk in" style refrigerator which was perfect for 2 families. The house was huge enough for us to be able to enjoy each other's company without feeling crowded. Plenty of bathrooms, so no one was ever waiting to shower, and did I mention that the location was breathtaking? By splitting the cost with another family it ended up costing us less than our previous vacations, but the entire experience was 'priceless'. show more show less

What a lovely, comfortable home, and the owners match !
We stayed here for 2 weeks a few years back and our friends still talk about this wonderful place. The views are of coves, sand and the sea. From the master bedroom you could see the stars, and lights from the lighthouse at night. In the morning you could make out clammers through the early fog in the cove. We would have returned, but finally bought our piece of the Cape Cod dream !!
