Description

Description

This two-story waterfront home, built in 1954, sits at the end of a private sea shell-lined lane. It is on a beautiful bluff overlooking the Oyster River and Nantucket Sound. The house has 5 bedrooms and 2 full, renovated bathrooms. On the first floor you will find 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, den, and a large front-to-back living room/dining area. A full kitchen including a dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and a Keurig finishes off the first floor. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom.

A large yard surrounds the house and is home to a front patio overlooking the water as well as a back covered patio (off the kitchen) with a gas grill and a picnic table.

There is a shared private footpath leading to the water and the Oyster Shacks at the town landing. Watch the oystermen, purchase seafood off the boat, talk to locals, or search for seashells, fiddler crabs, and horseshoe crabs. It is also fun to jump off the public dock and go fishing or kayaking. Kayaks and/or paddle boards may be rented at the Oyster Shacks, just steps from the house.

Our house is just under a mile from Harding's Beach and it is a beautiful walk down a picturesque residential street (mostly sidewalked). However, if you choose to drive, parking passes may be purchased on-line for daily, weekly, or seasonal use.

    Picture Perfect Chatham Getway
    August 2025

    We absolutely loved every single moment in this beautiful home! Exactly as described with true Cape Cod charm & the most beautiful views possible! This delightful family home has been lovingly maintained and provided convenient access to everything you could ask for in Chatham. Our family was comfortable with bedrooms to spare and thoroughly enjoyed local beaches, kettle ponds, biking, fishing, and crabbing. We dined outside daily while savoring the ample space and sea breezes. Our new happy place!!! A true gem that we are so very grateful to have found, we're already planning to return to in 2026. show more show less

    Stunning
    August 2025

    We absolutely loved our time in Chatham. This house is a gem. It's a typical cape cod home. Nothing fancy but it had everything we needed. And the location was stellar. The water views were spectacular and it is such a quiet, peaceful location.

    Stunning views of Oyster River
    August 2023

    My family and I truly enjoyed our week at this Chatham rental. The house is big and functional, with two spacious updated bathrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, two separate outdoor spaces with one overlooking the Oyster River and bay, and lots of rooms for bigger parties. The location could not be more convenient, tucked away in a secluded driveway but close to everything you'd want in a summer vacation, we walked or drove to the beach every day and enjoyed downtown Chatham in the evenings. We were blessed with a cooler week and did not feel the lack of AC was a problem, but could not speak for hotter or muggier weather. It is also easy to drive to other Cape Cod towns / beaches. The owners are incredibly kind and responsive, and we got so many recommendations from them. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to spend a week on the Cape! show more show less

    Lovely waterfront home
    August 2022

    What a cool place to stay! We loved the quiet, private home location with the most stunning view from the patio. We loved being walking distance to Chatham Shellfish oyster shacks (and a nice crabbing spot for kids). We loved being close to Hardings and Ridgevale beach (we do recommend the week long parking pass). We enjoyed Hawaiian shaved ice at Chillers nearly every day. We even walked from the house one day. In terms of the house, I did find that while the ocean breezes outside were great, it was simply too hot inside the house without air conditioning. I can see this being the perfect house for one of those not quite fall weeks where the nights are less warm and humid. The last week of August was riddled with high humidity temps and it was just damp at night. Air conditioning is of course, a personal preference, so do with this information what you will. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the modern, updated bathrooms. We cooked every day in the kitchen too, but don't forget oils and spices. Wonderful hosts too, just a super nice family to rent from.

    Fabulous home
    August 2022

    It is a fabulous home. Though not fancy, it was clean and well equipped. It suited our needs perfectly as we had young children and spent most of our time at the nearby beach. The path to a small marina is especially fun for kids and a nice walk. And the view from the patio is breathtaking. We spent hours just sitting and enjoying the view of the river and the changing water.

    Wonderful vacations in Chatham
    August 2022

    We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful house with amazing views over the waters, boats and a small harbor. A little path leads right to small harbor where you can rent boats and just stroll around a bit. Also, Harding beach is in walking distance. The house is in a dead-end street and the neuighborhood equally beautiful and quiet. The house was clean and cozy, everything essential, especially in the kitchen, was there. Wifi was working great. The owner was very friendly and communication was never a problem. We enjoyed our stay a lot and will definitely come back as soon as possible. show more show less

    Excellent stay - as always!
    August 2022

    Our family has been coming here for 10 years and will keep coming back! While Chatham is a wonderful destination - it's this home's relaxing feel and stunning views of the Oyster River and Nantucket Sound that keep us coming back. The house itself is very comfortable with plenty of space and the family that owns it has always been wonderful to rent from. If you're lucky enough to find an open slot on the rental schedule you'll love your stay here and will always remember the spectacular views!

    Iniskeel - Best Kept Secret in Chatham
    January 2023

    We have been renting this home for years and it is jewel! It's a traditional Cape house with wonderful views of Oyster River and Nantucket Sound. We enjoy the fresh air and sea breezes and the access it has to the river. We love walking to the Chatham Shellfish Company to pick up oysters and littleneck clams. The house has five bedrooms which gives you plenty of space to enjoy with family. It's close to Hardings Beach and to the shops at the top of Barnhill Road. The owners are very responsive and any issues we have had have always been addressed quickly. show more show less

    My grandfather purchased this property and built this house in 1954 for his family to use as a vacation home. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of living the good life in the summer on Cape Cod. The Oyster Shacks provided hours of entertainment; wading in the water, swimming in the river, collecting seashells and looking for fiddler crabs. I have vivid memories of lobsters and steamers for dinner, making homemade ice cream on the front patio with my grandfather at sunset, and lots of laughter. I love that my children, his great grandchildren, also get to make memories here. It will always be a special place for us and we hope you will find it special too.

    What is special about your town?
    Chatham has a bustling downtown complete with restaurants, shops, art galleries, and the Cape Cod league baseball team, the Chatham Anglers! The beaches are beautiful, the sunsets stunning, and the locals are friendly and welcoming. Enjoy a stop at the Chatham Fish Pier to grab a fresh lobster roll. If you are there when the fishing boats come back in from a day at sea, you will see many seals playing in the water and delighting in the return of the fishing vessels. The Atlantic Shark Conservancy will educate you on our newest visitors to Chatham, the Great White Shark. The Conservancy's mission, according to their website is to ''Support scientific research, improve public safety, and educate the community to inspire white shark conservation.''
