Charming Ridgevale Beach Home with Central AC
Chatham ,Ridgevale beach Vacation Rental - ID 28173

This is a charming and thoughtfully appointed cottage in a perfect location -- about a ten minute walk to a really wonderful and kid-friendly beach. Todd was extremely responsive, caring and thoughtful, and the cottage was sparkling clean. (We were worried about Covid-related precautions, and Todd and his amazing cleaning lady put us immediately at ease with detailed specifications about how meticulously they are handling the turnover and cleaning.) It was so nice to have central AC at the end of the beach day, and the kids loved playing in the grass and eating dinner at the outdoor picnic table at the end of the day. We would walk back to Ridgevale Beach for sunset and these were the most beautiful sunsets we've seen. We fell in love with Chatham and will definitely be back! show more show less

This is our second year renting from Todd and we cannot wait until next summer! Todd is the most attentive, friendly, and approachable owner we know. The location, central air, gas stovetop, two flooring living space, BEST OUTDOOR SHOWER, and immaculate condition make this home our family's favorite Chatham rental!! The house is located on the end of a quiet street, within walking distance to Ridgevale Beach. Enjoy morning walks around the adorable neighborhood or relax on the large deck with your coffee and a good book. The two-floor living spaces provide extra space for children to play. Located close to Chatham Center and neighboring beaching is a bonus. This is one rental we will return to for many years! show more show less

Don't hesitate to rent this gem of a property! This delightful property did turn out to be even more wonderful than the reviews I had seen. So very many good things to say, not the least of which is working with easy-going Todd, a real pleasure, so hospitable and responsive to whatever you need.

This home is immaculate. Every room is nicely decorated with sweet touches to remind you that you are on vacation at the beach. This house has things that might be lacking elsewhere, like a hamper in every bedroom, plenty of hangers, a drying rack and toilet paper when you get there! The lower level bonus room was perfect for privacy for my son and daughter-in-law with their 3 month old baby. They had their own bathroom and the laundry facilities on the lower level came in so handy with the baby. Those of us upstairs never heard them getting up at night with the baby.

The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, even a cupcake pan. The large deck and grill got lots of use. The outdoor shower is great, with great water pressure and plenty of hooks for hanging your clothes and towels. We were happy to have a clothesline and picnic table with umbrella. There is a TV in every bedroom, although we didn't watch much as we spent a good amount of time riding bikes on the rail trail, which is very close to the house. The large shed was perfect for storing our 4 bikes. The shed has everything else you could need so leave all your beach stuff home. There is plenty of parking for 4 cars. On many nights we watched the sunset on nearby Ridgevale Beach. Over the years, we have stayed in many a rental home and this was the most perfect. You have nothing to clean or buy, just your groceries and some nice wine. :) You can just relax and enjoy! Thanks so much Todd for helping to make this a perfect Chatham vacation!

Todd's home was the perfect pandemic getaway for a change of scenery after 4 months of quarantine. The home is clean, well maintained, equipped with absolutely everything we needed indoors and outdoors including a generator that kept wifi running despite a storm and power outage. Todd was responsive at all times. Kitchen has every appliance and utensil. Bedrooms are comfortable. Basement is fantastic for guests and/or kids. Deck and grill were appreciated for cooking and eating fresh local fish. Shed has everything for beach needs. I wanted to stay longer and will be back! show more show less

My family had a great time on vacation and the place worked out perfect. The basement which has lots of amenities and beds was great for my kids. There was TV, board games, several beds and couches down there. Todd stocked the shed with lots of beach toys which saved us space in the car. We cooked all our breakfast and one dinner at the house which worked out great. Fully stocked kitchen including the items you don"t want to pack like oils salt/pepper etc...

The beach was a short walk away and after 4 p.m. you can park for free so that made it easy to show up for quick sunset viewing which looked great. The beach was perfect for kids as it has a tidal pool on back side. Location was great as was short drive to National Seashore and very close to all the shops of Chatham.

This cottage was perfect! Todd was friendly and very accommodating. Plenty of space and clean. Nice and bright throughout. Great living room space. Central A/C was a must for us, and it was nice and cool everywhere. The kitchen had all you needed, quality items. Gas stove, freezer makes ice, dishwasher, and a great coffee maker. Makes a pot of coffee or you can use the pods for single use. Don't bring anything. Each bed was comfortable and bedrooms spacious. The downstairs was great for our grandson! The large TV equipped with all he needed, games, movies and surround sound. Plenty of space for all of us to have a movie night. Large upstairs bathroom. Downstairs bathroom has shower as well as there is an outside shower. Separate laundry room downstairs, perfect! Nice deck with grill and yard. Don't bring any beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers all in shed. More than enough. There is even a wagon to put your beach items and walk to beach. The Ridgevale beach walking distance. After 4:30 pm you can drive down and sit at beach for free. Great spot for little kids. Great location. We will be back! show more show less

We had a delightful trip to Chatham and very much enjoyed our stay in Todd's home. The house is immaculate and in perfect condition, with an easy stroll to Ridgevale Beach. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need (really, they've thought of everything!) to enjoy the beach, relax and get away from it all. Comfy beds, great outdoor shower and plenty of room to spread out. The basement is beautiful also. I slept better than I had in months!

The nicest house we have rented in Chatham, and we have been rented for 14 years! Lots of amenities, walking distance to Ridgevale beach, a spacious corner lot for many family games, an amazing outdoor shower, and wonderful craftsmanship inside are just a few reasons to rent this house. The owner takes pride in this well maintained home. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay for the week. The house is very clean and spacious. The large TV room downstairs was perfect for my three small boys to play. We loved the yard and the deck to sit and enjoy. Would love to go back!

FIRST IMPRESSION: This property is lovely and it is well taken care of. Pride of ownership is evident when you first see it.

We stayed for a week and loved it. It was extremely clean and inviting. However, the small details are important and the owner has provided many in his house as well as furnishing it very nicely.

PROS: It has lots of room to sleep a large family. It has windows on four sides of the house to allow for cross breezes. The main level has a very well equipped kitchen, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a good sized living room with a wall-mounted TV and a ceiling fan. The dining area can seat up to 10. The main bathroom is large and there are two bedrooms near it (both having TV's) with larger bedroom having a daybed. The lower level has a large seating area around a large wall-mounted TV, a bunk bed area and a full bathroom. There is plenty of space here for kids and the family to hang out or have movie night - as we did each night. The deck off the kitchen with built-in seating is large to accommodate additional seating and a gas grille. The outdoor shower was wonderful. There is even a clothesline for towels and wet bathing suits. We played football and corn hole (we brought our game) in the beautiful yard. Parking spots for cars are convenient to the deck. The shed contained lawn chairs, umbrellas, coolers and a beach wagon for when we walked to the beach (a 15 minute walk). Our host goes out of his way to accommodate guests. He kindly provided my husband with some tools needed to make adjustments on his boat.

CONS: None at all.
We very much enjoyed our stay here. It is ideally located - close to the beach where our kids rode their bikes and in a quiet neighborhood for walks. It's also convenient to many restaurants, bakeries and a few minutes to downtown Chatham.

Truly a Cape Cod Gem! show more show less
