Lovely living room, dining room seats 10-12, casual family room/kitchen and a screened porch to catch cool southerly breezes perfect for al fresco dining. Amenities include central air, wireless internet, great outdoor shower, books, games, and a wagon to transport little ones to the beach. Across the water within kayak's reach is North Beach, too.

NEIGHBORHOOD & DOWNTOWN: 'HIGHWOOD' is located in a very exclusive neighborhood where other houses rent for twice the price w/o beach rights. It is modeled after the classic NE design of the 'Half Cape', and is well off the street for privacy and safety for children. It has very comfortable furnishings and mattresses. The backyard has a tall privacy hedge, and a large dining table, garden area and gas grill. Linger over dinner under the umbrella next to the flowers or eat out on the screened porch with candlelight to welcome the evening with family and friends. All necessities are included, such as linens, towels, laundry detergent, t.p., all kitchen gadgets,small appliances, spices, etc.. An outdoor hot and cold shower makes coming in from the beach mess-free and fun!

This section of North Chatham is the most exclusive, beautiful and quietest available, unlike the noisier, high traffic in-town area, which is still easily accessible by bike, being less than 2 miles away.

THE BEACH: Out of the driveway to the left past a handful of beautiful homes and an estate is the private beach at the end of Cotchpinicut. A wagon is provided to make transporting little ones and lunch easy. It has a new, large and sandy shallow area formed over the winter which is wonderful for children. Bring your kayak, or launch your small motor boat at the landing. The outer beach is right across the water, a quick 5 minute boat ride to the best beach in the Northeast. Great surfcasting on the ocean side, so don't forget your fishing poles!

    Lovely and well-stocked home, walking distance or short drive to beach. Owner friendly and very responsive. We stayed in September when dogs are allowed on the beach. Would return.

    If you want to really settle in, have time slow down & relax, stay here. This home is about 1.5 miles from all the crowds of the main drag on one of the nicest, quietest streets in Chatham. Turn left, & you pass beautiful homes as you walk to a private little Bay cove beach. Turn right, & walk to a beach at the end of Scatteree, which has nice sand, free to park (if needed), & safe water to wade or take a dip. The home is a lovely, clean, & well-cared-for by the owner. Plenty of space for 6 people, a screened-in porch to relax out of the sun & bugs, & an outdoor patio space with a grill & chairs. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch reading. We were able to rent bikes & felt safe riding down to the Fish Pier, Downtown & CBI. It's also quick & easy to drive everywhere. Melissa, the owner, cares greatly about your stay & was in contact throughout the process. She met us at the house to check in, & gave us a tour. She takes pride in the home & it shows. She made us feel so welcome! She has the garage stocked with beach towels, chairs & toys the kids need for the beach. You don't need to pack any linens or towels, Melissa has you stocked with soft, high-quality items. I felt like I was staying at my mom's house, bc everything was fresh, clean & prepared for your stay. I'm coming back next summer. I loved loved this location & home!

    ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, HIGHWOOD COTTAGE, CHATHAM
    I want to start by saying that I am an extremely picky traveler when it comes to where I stay, whether it be at a home rental, or a hotel. I always look for high levels of cleanliness, along with a superb location. The Highwood Cottage delivered all of that, plus so much more!

    My family and I stayed there (a total of 6 or us) for one week in July of 2022. When I first drove up to the home, and then looked inside, I noticed how attractive the decor was, and how clean the home was! The photos included on the cottage's website are accurate, but to be honest, the home was even more attractive in person. There was plenty of space for all of us, including lovely indoor and outdoor spaces in which to spend time (three bedrooms, two and a half baths, two living areas, a dining room, kitchen with eat-in space, a screened-in porch, a huge front yard, and backyard patio with dining table, and there's central air if you need it). The gorgeous neighborhood, private beach access, and other nearby walkable beaches made the stay so magical. We had use of an outdoor grill, beach chairs and towels, yard games, and anything else you can think of that you might want or need. The home is a short drive or bike ride to the charming town of Chatham, and great restaurants and shops. The cottage owner, Melissa, couldn't have been more responsive or accommodating throughout the entire rental process. She clearly takes pride in her home an is happy to share it with others. I highly recommend a vacation at this home.

    Melissa is the best. We had the best time on the Cape and her house - great location, beautiful decor and awesome cleanliness - put it over the top. Melissa was so responsive to our questions and needs, we felt as if we had an on site manager. We will definitely rent again.

    As the owner of Highwood Cottage, I have been well-versed in customer service for decades, having owned a popular store in downtown Chatham for years. After selling that business, I now enjoy helping families have a wonderful vacation time on the Cape in my well-loved property located in a very special neighborhood.

    What is special about this property?
    Location, location, well, you know the rest. Highwood Cottage is on the premier street in North Chatham with it's private beach located a short walk away. It doesn't get any better.
