Comfy cottage

We just spent one week at the cottage this Summer and had a wonderful family time here. The house is very clean and well equipped with towels, sheets, beach umbrella and chairs. The deck and backyard provides a nice place for kids to run around and for family bbq/dinner time. The neighborhood is quite private and quiet. Very easy walk to the beach. Easy communication with the owner. Beth and Chris left very detailed instructions and even included a thoughtful list of local restaurants/activities. My parents and young kids all loved our time here. Would love to come back next Summer!

Cape Summer Break

We had a wonderful stay. We haven't spent time on the Cape since my oldest was a toddler in 2016. The house was very comfortable and well appointed. We appreciate all the beach stuff and not having to bring our own. Being able to walk to the beach with 2 kids was perfect. Would love to come back!

July 4th Vacation

We stayed in this Chatham home for a week with our daughter and her partner. We gave them the very large master bedroom suite with king bed, large closet, private bathroom and laundry area. They felt very spoiled and loved their private space. We appreciated the generous amount of towels, kitchen items and blankets/sheets. This home was extremely clean upon arrival. My husband really enjoyed the outside shower.

Lovely little house

We came to Chatham in October for a soccer tournament and were so lucky to find this place! It's impeccably clean, cute, stylishly decorated and well equipped. It had all the things we might need, towels, paper products, laundry detergent and a well stocked kitchen. Quiet neighborhood and while we weren't here during summer we did take a walk down the beach which was easy to access. It was perfect for our family of four.

We had a very pleasant stay and close proximety to everything and the beach.

Thank you Beth for your hospitality and the house and property were lovely and well equipped with everything we could need. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed ourselves and it was a nice tranquil neighborhood. The cleanliness of the home was wonderful and we took pride in returning it to hopefully the same and be respectful of the property. We love Chatham and will return, the two young cousins we had stay with us could only stay two days but loved the fishing and did not want to leave. Thank you Lorraine

Great Home, Great Beach, Great Owner

My family and I just returned from a week at this lovely home. First off, location to Ridgevale beach is amazing (5 mins or less walk) - Ridgevale is one of the best beaches on the Cape and is particularly great for kids. Secondly, the home is adorable, clean and all the appliances are new. There is a great deck, outdoor shower and nice yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with a combination of residents and renters. Lastly, the owners are fantastic. They are very organized, thoughtful and prompt with communication. My family and I have stayed at many rental properties and these owners are some of the best we've worked with. If you are looking for a wonderful home, with wonderful owners next to one of the best beaches, this is the home for you!!

A little bit of heaven

This home has it all. It is a quarter mile to Ridgevale Beach and a short drive into downtown Chatham. Recently renovated, its open floor plan and large windows provide lots of light, while pocket and glass paneled doors to the largest bedroom and rear sitting area allow for privacy and more quiet when desired. Appliances are new, beds are comfortable, and sheets and towels and other amenities that are provided are very good quality. The view from the rear deck onto a salt marsh is stunning. Beth was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive. For example, when we asked about a tea kettle, a brand new one arrived promptly.

The beauty is in the details

We booked this house at the last minute due to a family emergency in Chatham and were so grateful for a clean, pleasant place to "land." It is roomy and well-equipped with plenty of space to spread out, a wrap-around deck that beckons for meals or coffee outside, and a well-stocked kitchen. It was the small, thoughtful amenities, however, that really made the stay--an iron and ironing board, cookbooks, nice hand soap and towels in each bathroom, plenty of paper goods, shampoo and body wash in each shower, a full set of pots and pans and knives for cooking. The beds were comfortable with nice, cotton, sheets. It’s in a wonderful, convenient location and Beth was easy to communicate with, but all these little things really made it a memorable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Alderson

Why they chose this property

Location, location... this home provides uncommon rest and relaxation just off the beaten path but also a quick 2/5ths of a mile hop (or an even faster bike ride) to one of the best beaches on the Cape.

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.
