Mermaid’s Rest – Perfect Cape Cod Getaway!
South Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 24878

Perfect vacation in Chatham! Absolutely nothing negative to say.. We were impressed with this home. Everything you need is there. Close to everything! Owners' attention to detail is clearly present. Delightful owners!

Mermaid's Rest was the perfect vacation spot for my husband, myself and our adult daughters. We discovered Forest Beach and enjoyed the flexibility that the short walk provided our group. The gas grill was just the thing for grilling our fresh fish purchased at the Chatham fish pier. We breakfasted on the sunny back deck and enjoyed dinner on the screened in front porch. The inside dining room became the "office" for those who had to "work" on vacation. Karen was a great host and we hope to return again. show more show less

Everything about Mermaid's Rest was perfect.This cottage is adorable, comfortable, well-equipped and located on a quiet street within walking distance to the town beach. The owners thought of and supplied everything that renters may need for a week on the Cape. I was impressed with the decor and the quality of the furnishings. The kitchenware is nicer and more up to date than my things at home! We loved the outdoor shower (which has good water pressure and never ran short of hot water). />
It is abundantly clear that the owners take great pride in this cottage and take their responsibilities as business women seriously. Booking was easy, communications were clear and timely and our security deposit was returned promptly. I would not hesitate to return to Mermaid's Rest and will enthusiastically recommend it to friends. show more show less

We had the best vacation staying at Mermaid's Rest! The cottage is very charming and is stocked with all of the conveniences you would need for a week away at the beach. The owners are thoughtful and checked in with us on our first day to be sure everything was fine. The neighborhood is quiet and really lovely. We'll be back for sure!

This cottage was perfect for our family of four, with plenty of space for everyone. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided. Our 10 and 12 year old kids were smitten with the loft area, and are already asking when we can return. The screened porch was even nicer than it looked in the picture and perfect for meals and for relaxing with a glass of wine in the evenings.

The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, my kids felt very comfortable riding their bikes up and down the lane. The location is great, super close to the beach and convenient to other attractions as well. We loved the nearby rail trail for biking, exploring downtown Chatham and the Chatham Lighthouse, and checking out the Whydah Pirate Museum. The owners are an absolute pleasure -- very responsive and we very much appreciated their suggestions for some rainy day activities. So happy we found Mermaid's Rest for our stay in Cape Cod! show more show less

They have thought of everything. You need only pack your clothes and a set of sheets. Every other detail has been attended to and you can relax right from the moment you arrive. Comfortable size for our family of 3 and even when our son and family visited for a couple days, it didn't seem too small. One of the days he was with us it rained like crazy and we still had a wonderful time. The loft is a hit for kids of all ages. Everything is in great condition. Recently renovated and beautifully decorated. show more show less

Mermaid's Rest is located on a quiet side street and has been recently renovated while preserving the charm of the cottage. The owners have tried to think of everything in terms of what a renter might need. The kitchen has full utility and the appliances are in excellent condition. The property has a shed with beach chairs and other beach necessities and there is room to store bicycles. Everything looks new or is exceptionally well cared for. The bedrooms are spaced such that the bedrooms feel private (opposite ends of the house).

Additionally, the owners are a pleasure to work with. They promptly responded to questions, and were happy to help with details such as recommending where to get linen rentals, etc. In all the years I have rented beach properties, I have never had a more pleasant transaction.

Highly recommend the property/owners. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at this comfortable, adorable, restful, nicely decorated piece of Cape Cod. Quiet, dead end street within walking distance to the beach, and the smell of salt air! Great vacation spot!

My family enjoyed our stay in Chatham at Mermaids Rest. There was lots to do nearby, we were within walking distance of the ocean, and I was happy to see we were on a quiet dead end street. The décor in the cottage was tasteful and it was well stocked with cookware. It had all the comforts of home. We were able to walk to the beach, and ride to the bike trail from the cottage. The kids want to go back. We will always have sweet memories of our stay there!
