The property is well taken care of with amenities that are convenient for any length of stay amd is located in a peaceful area. The location is near a beach on the sound, great for those that want to venture in to the water, without having the large waves and strong currents the ocean has. The nearby town and downtown area has a plentiful selection of vendors and dining options, for those that want to explore the local area. The host is responsive and has information available about the local area, which can take some of the confusion out of the planning for even a short stay.

Family week at the Cape

My family and I had a wonderful late summer week at the Private Cottage at Ridgevale Beach - Chatham. The house was perfect for the 6 of us with plenty of space to accommodate some work days. The house was meticulously clean and well equipped for a week or longer stay. Chris was great to work with and very responsive. Will stay again in future.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The best of all worlds! You can easily walk to the beach, but at the end of the day you're back at a very private property on a quiet loop street that sees very little traffic. Not a beach day? Then the bike trail is less than a mile away!

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee, you feel like you are officially on vacation, especially on those days when you hear the surf crashing just beyond the marsh.
