Charming Chatham House Walk to Downtown
Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 20165

This is a very good home to rent in the middle of the Cape. Our family enjoyed it. Only 1 mile from Downtown Chatham. Clean and plenty of room for our family of 4 and there is a basement with bunks for a bigger family or group.

Diane the owner was available as a resource, made it easy, and communicated any important issues during the week. House was fully stocked, notes in the home on trash/recycling, cleaning, etc. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone considering staying in the area.

This was a lovely respite and easy move in. We just needed to grocery shop and enjoy our week. From the house, we biked to the Chatham Light, walked to the free Chatham Anglers games, and had an easy drive to our wedding venue. It felt centrally located to all yet still quiet and tucked away.

Sitting at the house, we enjoyed grilling, having a fire, watching BIG turkeys and birds, and all the beautiful flowers blooming. The hammock was perfect for an afternoon nap.

There was plenty of firewood, gas for the grill, all we needed to cook our striped bass catches, and someone even enjoyed the outdoor shower.

It was in a word: perfect.

Great Family Rental. Super clean, neat and well-appointed rental in quiet neighborhood close to downtown Chatham. Owner was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I think this is a perfect place for a family with kids. Easy bike ride or walk to downtown and other conveniences like the Cape Cod Rail Trail for biking and walking/running. We walked to Chatham Village Bakery and Cafe on Crowell Rd. almost every morning!

Perfect Chatham Home Base. We had a wonderful time at Diane's cottage with our family, including grandparents and young children (3 and 1 year old). The house had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. We used the kitchen and grill extensively, and the fire pit was a big hit for s'mores in the evening. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and we had several peaceful evenings laying in the hammock and watching the stars. The location was great, with an easy 10-minute drive to the main beaches and 5-minute drive downtown to the stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. Diane was very responsive to our questions and checked in proactively as we settled into the house. We loved our stay and can't wait to return to Chatham!

I have been coming to the Cape for years. We started renting this house about 6 years ago. It's such a lovely home with all the amenities. I plan on renting it for years to come. I highly recommend it. The owners are fantastic with everything.

We enjoyed our stay and recommend this property to others. It was thoroughly appointed which made our time very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and patio, and the location close to town was the highlight.

We stayed at this lovely cape house for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute. The house had everything we wanted..spacious rooms, well stocked kitchen, attractive patio with fire pit, all the beach toys and bikes you could ask for and a great location of being less than a 5 min drive to main street in Chatham and a 13 min drive to Ridgevale Beach, the best beach on the Cape in our opinion! Our children loved playing hide and seek in the garden and using the many apps on the TV for entertainment. The owner was a pleasure to work with and could not have been more responsive to our every need. We would highly recommend this property to anyone that is interested in having a holiday in Chatham.

I cannot say enough positive things about our time in this home. I have vacationed in Chatham for 22 years and this was one of my favorite rentals. The house was immaculate and extremely comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed the grill and the fire-pit at night. Just when we realized that one of us forgot something, we realized that the house was so well stocked that we didn't need to run to the store. The location was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet, and we were able to walk back and forth to Main Street. I cannot say enough positive things. Diane was very communicative to ensure all of our needs were met.

From the beginning Diane was extremely accommodating, communicative, and flexible in meeting my family's needs for our first trip to Cape Cod. I've rented homes from various vacation rental sites many times, and she is by far the best host I've ever worked with! We were very impressed with the location, amenities, and the clean spacious home - we immediately felt welcomed the moment we walked in. The backyard was quite splendid, my 7 year old and 3 year old loved running around the back and I only wished we had more opportunities to be able to actually use a lot of the various amenities the house offered (bikes, outdoor shower, bbq area, hammock, etc). I also appreciated how well-stocked the house was from towels, kitchen supplies, to extra blankets (again, we didn't get a chance to use them as much, but still appreciated them nevertheless).

If we return to Cape Cod again (which we hope to do), I only hope that this place is available for us as we will definitely contact Diane again. Thanks so much for making our vacation so special!

Perfect fit

What first struck me was how clean this house was. The newness of the kitchen and many of the building details made this home easy to step into. It had all the amenities we needed (I hate having to think to buy or bring trash bags etc). We loved the bike selection and all the games and beach gear lightened our load. It’s in a super quiet neighborhood where we felt easy walking the streets into town. The rooms worked out great for us having a little one to hide off in the basement bunks while everyone else could continue visiting upstairs. I’ve been to tons of chatham rentals and this was up in my top 3 for sure. I do wish it was a little closer to town (bc of said little one). The only suggestion I have would be to change the laundrying of the sheet policy. It’s really hard to get 4 bedroom sheets washed before 10 am departure and we felt the need to be up super early to get it done. I might just bring my own next time to avoid this.

We had a beautiful week and loved this house. As someone who picks the house for the whole extended family- you made me look good!

We really enjoyed our stay at Diane's property. House was very clean and well stocked. Probably the best stocked house we've rented, and we've rented many times on the Cape. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Great location for walking to town, baseball games, Chatham fish pier, etc. Roomy enough for our group of 7. Basement living area was great for the tweens. House does not have a/c and we were there during a very steamy week, though the fans in every room did help.

Would highly recommend this home.

Great House and Location in Chatham
This is a lovely house on a corner lot in a quiet neighborhood. Beautiful decor with a beachy New England feel. There was plenty of room for 6 adults. Our first night we walked into town to eat at The Chatham Squire (about a 15-20 minute stroll) taking us through mostly residential neighborhoods. It's only a 5 minute drive into town from the house. We also took advantage of the large selection of bicycles and road on the Chatham Bike Trail. Some of us only went to the edge of town while others rode all the way to Harwich. It is also conveniently located to Chatham Village Bakery and Cafe on Crowell that is a great place to go for coffee, sandwiches and bakery goods. Spent many hours trying to find a reasonable house that could accommodate 6 and was close to town and this house was perfect.

My husband and I had a very relaxing stay here as a brief honeymoon the weekend after our wedding. The home is beautiful, and had everything we could have possibly needed and more. We loved walking through the neighborhood, to the beach, and to main street, as everything was 20 minutes or less walking distance from the house. After the stress of planning our wedding, this was the perfect respite! We would love to come back to Chatham and Diane's beautiful home someday soon.

Felt like our home away from home - 5 STARS
Stayed for a week at this beautiful home in Chatham with my husband and 4 boys ages 7-13. The house was so comfortable and beautifully furnished. It truly felt like home as soon as we entered. The older boys loved having the bunk room and their own family room downstairs. The house was stacked with towels, bikes, beach chairs/toys, games and all the basics that many homes do not supply. The location was great as it was in a quiet neighborhood but had easy access to the bike path. We loved Chatham Perk for breakfast which was a quick bike ride away. Was a little wary that there wasn't any A/C but it didn't matter. The house had great fans everywhere and with the windows opened, the house felt cool and comfortable. Great find!

We spent five days in Chatham in June and only wish we could have spent the entire summer or permanently! The town itself is absolutely charming. We felt like we stepped back in time! The town as well as all the homes are so tidy and clean, and flowers were everywhere! Our weather was perfect! There was so much to see and do, and the restaurants were all excellent; so many to choose from. We spent time exploring the town both walking and biking, hiking the beaches, kayaking, watching the fishing boats bring in their daily catch (sea lions enjoying it also and had the best clam strips I've ever had right on the pier!) and hanging out at the rental house. Let me rephrase that...hanging out at "home" because that's how it felt. This home is in a great location and easily bikeable to town. It's beautiful and so very cozy. Not old and drab, but new and uplifting. The layout is wonderful and spacious and the colors are tasteful and calm as is all the home furnishings.

But, the most wonderful thing about this home is the attention to detail the homeowner went to to make sure every guest has everything they need. We didn't have to shop for anything which is always the case when one rents a house. From shampoo and suntan lotion to hair ties and beach towels, evening games and puzzles, laundry detergent and bikes and propane for the grill! The kitchen was fully stocked with not only all pots, pans, dishes, bowls, and utensils, but paper products, plastic wrap, etc. as well! It made cooking in the kitchen like cooking at home! And, the beautiful patio a complete pleasure. It's lovely and we spent several late afternoons in the hammock just listening to the leaves rustle and birds sing. And, the fire pit is perfect for s'mores! There isn't enough space to say all the goods things I'd like to about this home so I'll leave you with...staying in this home in this lovely town should be on your bucket list!!

Really enjoyed our stay, what a perfect little get away on the Cape...couldn't be in a better location!

This house was a perfect place for seven ladies to stay. We had plenty of room for all of us to eat at the dinner table, cook and socialize in the family room. There were plenty of beach chairs for us to use. And it was a great location to use as home base as we also traveled to Plymouth and Provincetown for separate day trips. I would definitely visit and stay at this house again!

We spent a week at this lovely home. There were 6 of us (2 families). The house is perfectly located so that we could walk into downtown Chatham, run or bike to Lighthouse Beach, bike to the Colony Rail Trail (that connects to the Cape Cod Rail Trail), and walk to a Chatham A's game. We would definitely like to spend another week here. The owners provided bikes, board games, a fire pit, grill, corn hole game, and pretty much everything we could possibly need. We had a really fun vacation! And loved spending it at this home. Thank you!

My husband and I rented this Chatham house for a writing retreat. The location and layout of the home was ideal! The two living areas gave us separate space to work. Also, the interior design detail is superb. If you are traveling to the cape for the beauty - this is an ideal spot to experience beauty inside the home and out. Oh and as an added bonus, a pair of large wild Turkeys strolled through the neighborhood. I can't promise the Turkeys for every visit - but the home is perfect. We hope to return.

Chatham is a great location as a home base to explore up, down, and over the Cape, and this house is a wonderful home base in Chatham. Great location, and it has absolutely everything you could possibly want to feel right at home. Charming house, clean, cozy, and comfortable. You cannot go wrong choosing to stay here!

This was our second visit to Chatham and I have to say this house was perfect for my family and I. It is wonderfully situated just 10 minutes walk into the town for great shopping and restaurants (definitely try Vers and Bluefin - amazing sushi) and beautiful beaches. The house itself is equipped with everything that you could possibly need and was lovely and clean and welcoming. The finished basement was perfect for the kids and on the one rainy day that we had all the games downstairs came in very handy! We also loved the bikes and tried out the fantastic bike trail that you can spend a whole day on (plus the roads are very safe). All in all, we had a brilliant holiday and would definitely recommend it without hesitation.

This was our second time staying here with our 2 young children (aged 2.5 and 4 years). The house is amazingly well equipped (down to the extra toothbrush kits in the hall closet). The yard is beautiful and well landscaped, but not to the point that you feel your kids shouldn't play there. We found the basement area a key amenity, with lots of toys and games that kept our little ones happy for hours at a time. The location is good as it is within a relatively short walk to the downtown area (15-20 minutes). The barbecue and well equipped kitchen were extremely useful as we don't want to go out to dinner for every meal. The house had everything we needed, including towels, beach chairs, beach toys. Everything about the house and rental experience was extremely well organized.

I would strongly recommend this house to anyone with children, from babies to teenagers (the bunk beds and living area downstairs would be ideal for older kids who want their own space). Would not recommend to childless couples or anyone looking to be on the beach or within an easy walk.

We are getting ready for our third stay at this house and can't wait! My husband and I have two young children and this house has worked well for us and has everything we need to feel at home. It is a lovely house and always beautifully maintained. We like being in Chatham, a beautiful and picturesque Cape Cod town. There is also easy day trip access to all parts of the Cape including Provincetown. We enjoy going to Ridgevale beach with the kids and finding lots of creatures and "surfing" in the tide pool.

This was our second time visiting this charming cape. The location is perfect! It is a short distance to downtown Chatham for shopping, dining and strolling. Veterans Field is withing walking distance and the baseball games there provide a great way to spend an evening. The bike path is easily accessible. Numerous beaches are just a short drive away. The house is very clean and comfortable and extremely well equipped. Bicycles are provided as are beach chairs, indoor and outdoor games, a fire pit and a very well stocked kitchen. It is obvious that the owners put a lot of care into the maintenance of the home and want visitors to experience a great vacation on the Cape. This house is highly recommended!

This marks the fourth time we have rented this home for our summer vacation - we love it so much we keep coming back. Prefect house, in a perfect location, and perfectly appointed. We will be back.

The house is in a quiet residential area with a lovely patio, teak table and chairs, and more chairs to sit in around a fire pit. There was plenty of firewood for the pit and the outside gas grill's propane tank was full. The house itself is VERY comfortable and looks like it was recently remodeled. The kitchen is big and lucky for us was well stocked with spices and has every kind of cooking untensil one could possibly imagine- we ate "in" every night as we love to cook. The Chatham Fish Pier market is a mile away and we bought fresh fish every day that we cooked on the grill. There is a nice master bedroom with a very comfortable king sized bed. Very nice master bath too. I can't say enough good things. Steve

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy home. The layout of the home makes it open and airy, it's so well kept and well stocked. We've rented homes before but this family thought of everything you would need for an easy stay...from the kitchen supplies, to bathroom, beach towels, bikes, games, etc. the location is fantastic... Close to town of Chatham, bike route is nearby as are the beaches. We were extremely satisfied with our experience here.

We loved the house, especially the convenient location for the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The house was nicely appointed and very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed and looked new. There was plenty of room for our family: 2 adults and 2 young adult children. We never even used the lower level since we spent a lot of time outside. The washer/dryer came in handy and we loved the outdoor shower. It was a nice walk to town for us, but could be far for families with young children. It is very close to a nice place for breakfast.

We had a lovely weekend getaway to this house. It was perfect! Very clean and well maintained. Everything was in great condition and comfortable. Yard was well maintained and relaxing. We cooked all of our own meals and had everything we needed to do so. The little touches made it so easy- cleaning supplies, laundry detergents, etc. To top it off, the owner was very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. She made sure that we had everything we needed. We'll be back!

I stayed in this house for a week with my family, six of us, myself, my husband our 2 children and my parents. The house is even nicer than it is in the photo's, so beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and very comfortable, felt just like home. Chatham is a gorgeous small town, very pretty with lots of shops and places to eat. A walk down Main Street is a joy. There are many great things to do nearby, we went to Pirates Cove Crazy Golf in South Yarmouth which the kids loved. Also spent 2 days in Provincetown, only 50 mins drive from Chatham. Its a wonderful colourful place full of diversity. We went on the Dolphin Fleet Whale Tour which was truly amazing, we didn't know if we would see the whales but they put a fantastic show on for us, nature at its best, would recommend this for all ages. We also went to the 1957 Drive In Cinema in Wellfleet, a great experience for all of us, as we're from England we don't have them here. The old speakers worked intermittently but you use your car stereo to listen to the movie. We visited the lighthouse beach and had fun paddling in the shallows. The whole area is very attractive, well maintained and very friendly. The owners of the house were very friendly and helpful especially as we were travelling in from overseas. I cannot recommend this house enough, if you do rent this house I hope you have as much fun as we did. Happy holidays!!!

My husband and I and two friends spent the week at this charming home in September. The home is exactly as pictured....very very clean, quaint and completely comfortable. And....only 2-3 blocks from the best pizza and bakery on the Cape.

We wanted you to know what a blast we had at your place and at the Cape. What a magical place. We hope all was left in place as it was difficult to leave with 2 sad 5 year olds. My son woke up with tears in his eyes and great memories that will last a lifetime. We will be in touch for next year for sure.

Beautiful property! This house is perfect with lots of room to spread out. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you may need. Basement is a super spot for the kids with games waiting for them. Nice quiet neighborhood but just a ten minute walk to the water. The property was spotless and very well-maintained. The yard was a great space to relax with a walk out patio. Thanks for thinking of everything in this fantastic Cape home! We will be back!

This charming cottage in Chatham, Massachusetts, was the site of our annual girls get-away weekend this year. What a beautifully decorated and appointed home! From the moment we walked in, it was obvious that this would be a great place to catch up for a couple of days. The living space was very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and a lovely patio area, just off of the kitchen, provided the perfect spot to sit outside and get some fresh air. I would love to return here in the summer. The location, within walking distance of everything, makes me think it would be an ideal place to spend some time during the warmer months. I would highly recommend this as a great get-away...either in the off-season months or during the summer months.

Amazing... We arrived this evening and everything is perfect! Thank you so much.

Your Chatham home is a jewel! We enjoy cooking and were so pleased to find your kitchen large and well-equipped. The patio is lovely for dining or for enjoying an early morning cup of coffee. The location is perfect. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Great House. Great Location.

This was the perfect house. First, it's in north Chatham which most rentals are not. Close to Lighthouse beach and downtown. Secondly, it is super clean, cute and really has a ton of space. Our 9-year old daughter invited her cousins over (they live in area) to sleep every night. The basement bunk was a giant hit. And, might add the basement was spotless and not at all mildew ridden. The backyard is wonderful for hanging out. Good size for running around, fun hammock and a patio with nice eating area and grill. The garage is filled with everything you need from bikes, beach chairs and boogie boards. They have a binder filled with local information if you are new to area. We loved it.

Great Place to Stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this lovely home. Everything we needed was there. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of linens, comfy beds, great backyard. The walk to town was enjoyable, and Chatham is a great town with many good restaurants. Highly recommend this rental property. The owners were also very accommodating and pleasant.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

What a find in our opinion the most beautiful town on the Cape…Chatham. The moment we walked into the home we felt like we were walking through pages of a pottery barn magazine. The décor was so tastefully done with a great Cape Cod feel. But more importantly the house was super clean and well taken care of! We couldn’t believe how clean the house was and how much was there for us to use and not worry about getting on our vacation trip. Linens, some pantry items, paper towels, and ect. The quiet neighborhood was a great place to take an afternoon stroll and the short drive into town was very convenient. We enjoyed going to the nearby Pier and we even caught a Cape Cod Baseball game. Great Location! We hope to return again next year. Thanks for helping us have a wonderful stay and creating new memories on Cape Cod.

Wonderful Stay!

My wife, four friends, and I had a wonderful stay for Memorial Day weekend. The house was very spacious and stocked with everything we needed (from towels and linens to all sorts of kitchenware, etc.). The house is located in a very quiet yet convenient part of Chatham. I had great experiences with other rentals in Chatham previously, but this house was definitely my favorite.

Spotless Beach Retreat!

We had a fabulous trip to Chatham and a wonderful stay at this home! From the start the owners were very responsive to my email inquires. My family had never been to Cape Cod/Chatham before and they kindly wrote a list of fun things that my children would enjoy in the town as well as sights to see! When we walked into the door of the house I knew we were going to have a wonderful stay. The entire house is impeccably and tastefully decorated and has a peaceful beachy feel. Everything was clean and organized and there was ample space for our family of 5. The next time we are fortunate enough to go back to Chatham we would absolutely rent this house again!
