Welcome to our totally updated 'old Cape' style cottage. Guests have access to a wide variety of indoor, outdoor, and beach amenities.
The Space:
Designed for today's living while retaining its 'old Cape' charm, the sunny, open spaces and updated amenities will allow you to effortlessly enjoy your vacation. Available year-round whether to relax at the beach, to celebrate holidays, or just as an off-season get away.
The comfortable living space encourages everyone to gather for a spirited game of Chathamopoly or to snuggle in for a night at the movies. Here you’ll find a 42” TV, wireless internet, books, and games.
The gourmet kitchen features a large island and is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, microwave, and professional cookware.
Each bedroom is uniquely decorated. There is an elegant couples retreat with a queen bed. A bright room with two twin beds that celebrates the beach cottage theme. Finally, feel like you're sleeping aboard a sailing vessel with the nautical themed twin over full bunk bed.
Keep the beach clutter and laundry contained in the back 'sandroom' with a full-size washer/dryer and easy access to the outdoor shower that has both hot and cold running water.
Central heating and air conditioning keeps the cottage comfortable regardless of the weather.
Included in the cost is a linen service providing fresh bed linens and bath towels. Other essentials like comforters/blankets, pillows, paper goods, and cleaning products are also provided, but remember to bring your own beach towels.
Outside:
Outdoors there is a large lawn for games, a sunny patio with ample seating and both a gas and charcoal grill, a covered front porch, and off-street parking. For the beach there are several chairs, a beach umbrella, and umbrella anchor in the basement.
The large 1/2 acre lot is wooded on 3 sides, offering a fantastic sense of privacy, but the yard stays sunny and is great place for games or a round of tag.
A large bluestone patio right off the kitchen catches the warm afternoon sun and offers ample seating for entertaining. Fix a drink and unwind while cooking the catch of the day on either the gas or charcoal grill.
For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, there is a single exterior security camera strategically positioned to monitor the driveway and front walk only. Guest privacy is maintained on the rest of the property. There are no interior cameras.
The Neighborhood:
The cottage is tucked away on a quiet, private street, but remains close to everything wonderful that Chatham and the Cape have to offer!
One of the best beaches on the Sound, Hardings Beach, is less than 1 mile away. There is sidewalk access from our cottage to the beach for a safe walk or bike ride. We are also just a short drive to the other beaches on Nantucket Sound, Oyster Pond, or School House Pond, which is one of the nicest fresh water ponds in the area.
For bikers it is easy to pick up the Old Colony Rail trail to Harwich where it connects to the Cape Cod rail trail that runs 22 miles from Dennis to Wellfleet.
The charming Main Street of Chatham Village is less than 2 miles east on Rte 28. Harwichport is a few miles west. Both favorite spots for a day of shopping or a night out.
House Rules:
The first rule is always to relax and have fun! To continue to keep the cottage enjoyable for everyone we also ask that you:
