My family and I (4 adults) had the pleasure of staying at this property. It was a new area for us, but we truly enjoyed the area and took many walks around the neighborhood (and used the tennis court too). It’s about a 10min walk to nearby public beach (beach is not great for swimming due to rocks, but very nice otherwise). The house is amazing and very welcoming. We felt like staying in a home away from home. Kate and family had done a wonderful job in making sure all appropriate amenities were available and the decor was so welcoming.
Thank you, Kate and Billie for letting us enjoy your home!
Had a great time with my parents and my two dogs at this house by the beach. Easy 3 minute drive with free parking and no trouble getting a spot. Looking forward to coming back again!
This house is perfect for our family (2 kids + a dog) as it is very long which allows you to put the kids to bed early and still enjoy a few laughs together - you can’t hear anything on the other side of the house. A 5 minute walk from Forest Beach and a 5 minute drive from Stop and Shop means you can really relax and hideaway if that’s what you’re looking for :)
Have been before and will stay again!
Lovely neighborhood, very quiet; responsive owners; house well supplied with just about everything one could need; home and garden well tended. Hope to go back next year.
Our second time renting this beautiful home, a short, safe walk to the beach. Our kids love the backyard and patio, and the two separate TV / living rooms allow for breathing room! The house has all a family would need including a reliable washer/dryer, dishwasher, and grill. We will return for a third time soon!
This is a Beautiful House ,, Just far enough a block or off of Rt 28 to make easy to get to all locations ,on the Cape ,,The house was completely updated and a fully equipped kitchen ,,,2 locations with Smart TV apart from each other ,, The Bedroom size and furnishings were more than adequate each with a large closet ,,.. The outside patio area was beautifully landscaped and had plenty of area for entertaining with the table sofa and chairs and grille ,,,,Overall this is a house we would come back too ,, The numerous Hydrangea should now be in Bloom ....This was our first visit to the Cape and were impressed with everything ,,
When we arrived, the house was perfectly clean and the host had left us a bag of potato chips and wine — Perfect after a long drive. The house is great for a family with younger children. It’s a good size, close to an almost empty beach and comfortable for a family sleeping, eating and relaxing wise. Not too much for the kids to get into trouble with either! We will definitely be booking again.
My family and I stayed here for a week and had the best time! The location is great-quiet with a 10 minute walk to the beach which I walked to every morning :). A short drive to the downtown area with plenty of shopping and restaurants. The quaint back yard is fenced in with a beautiful patio area. Colin was very easy to get in touch with, though we did not need to reach out. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
House was beautiful and spotless when we arrived. Seriously, the cleanest rental we’ve ever had. Very well stocked with literally everything we needed. Owner was very responsive and helpful. Fenced yard gave us great peace of mind leaving our kids and pup to play outside safely. Could not ask for a more relaxing place to vacation!
Highly recommend the location and the home. Walking distance to the beach, public tennis court, and the rail trail. Easy drive to downtown Chatham, Brewster, Orleans, and Harwich. The house is in great condition with a beautiful backyard and outdoor shower. All the amenities you could ask for with enough space so that all guests feel comfortable. Property owner was extremely responsive and did a great job of communicating before, during, and after our stay. We would highly recommend the home and would stay here again.
Lovely house, perfect for our three generation family of 5. Comfortable in every way: beds, space, sitting areas. Kitchen was well stocked. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed backyard, and we very much enjoyed the patio. Owners were very responsive when we had questions. This is one of the better houses we’ve rented in Chatham in the last few years. Would love to come back.
We stayed at the property for 2 weeks this summer. From the start, communication with the owners was clear and easy. The house was SO clean when we arrived. It really stood out how clean it was. It was also well stocked with essentials (cleaning products, paper products), as was the kitchen. While the house was comfortable for our group with ample space for the 3 generations that were staying there, the patio really made the house stand out. Fenced in with the yard so we didn't need to worry about our young kids or the dog, and very comfortable for dinner or afternoon lounging. Close to the beach (though with young kids we opted to drive since 0.5 miles is a bit long for small legs) and the garage was very handy to leave the beach wagon and stroller. We will certainly return!

Cape Escape - Somewhat Disappointing
The owner was kind enough to allow us to arrive a few hours before 5:00 PM on Saturday and she left a nice bottle of wine and chips to welcome us.
It’s a good thing we arrived early before our guests because we found issues that needed immediate attention. The couch in the living room was covered in dog hair and there was a pile of dirt left on the floor and couch in the sunroom. The coffee tables and other surfaces in the living room and sunroom needed dusting.
The other issues that bothered us were: lockbox key removal was difficult, vacuum cleaner in entrance closet was broken, master bathroom outer shower curtain had dark mold on the bottom two inches, wooden floors needed a good cleaning, garbage instructions were incorrect, Nest thermostat instructions were difficult and we were unable to turn the heat on except for the sunroom area.
We paid an extra cleaning fee for our dog and expected to find the house sparkling clean. We feel that we left the house cleaner than we found it. We vacuumed with the battery operated one we found in the garage before we left and there was no dog hair anywhere.
Overall, we enjoyed the neighborhood and Forest Beach area and hope to visit again.
House was immaculate, attractively furnished and well-equipped...in a lovely setting. Very comfortable for our multi-gen family of 7. We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood, plus convenience to town and area beaches (incl walkable). Beautiful patio/yard, perfect for hosting a family gathering. Hosts were very accessible and prompt on all communications.
We live in a different part of the Cape but were renovating and wanted to avoid the chaos while the work was being done. We selected this house and are glad we did! It has everything we wanted. Short walk to the very nice beach, near the bike trails, easy access to Chatham and Harwich. House was roomy and very comfortable. Neighborhood was nice and the neighbors were friendly. Patio was nice and the hosts were very accommodating as well. We highly recommend it!
The house was bright and lovely. The fenced back yard was perfect for outdoor dining, and relaxing and our dog loved it too. The location between downtown Chatham and Harwich Port was convenient. Would love to rent it again. Thank you!
Beautiful, clean and comfortable home. Easy location and quick commute to downtown Chatham and nearby towns. Quick ride to the bike path which we used daily. We recommend Red River beach for easy beach access with kids. The welcome amenity was a wonderful touch! We would love to return!
The house was very clean and as nice as pictured. The tennis court also had pickleball which was a bonus for us. Beach was a little rocky but was fine for our purposes. The owner also gave us directions to a pond to swim in which was about a 10 minute drive. A categorized list of restaurants was also provided which was very helpful.
For the last several years, we have really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful home in amazing neighborhood and quick walk to the beach and short drive to downtown Chatham and Harwichport.
Had a wonderful family vacation in this home. The house was immaculate and the location was central to everything!

Perfect for family getaway
I am almost reticent to give this review because I don't want the word to get out about this house! Everything was absolutely fantastic and Robert and Collette were very accommodating, especially given we arrived early with a cranky 6 mos old and were able to get in the house asap. Everything was very clean and up to date, great layout for a family and the kitchen and grill were well stocked so we were able to make some great meals at home. Location is perfect in a quiet neighborhood in south chatham very close to forrest beach and convenient to both Chatham and Harwich. Added bonus house accommodated our dog, but without sacrificing anything in terms of cleanliness, hair, etc. And I can't forget to mention the outside shower - great pressure!! We will definitely be coming back.

We all tend to gather over the 4th of July, and the family dinner has grown to over 30 people. "May we always be more and never less"

Modern house in a great location. We are year round resident on the Cape, and truly want you to enjoy Chatham as much as we do. We take the effort to answer questions, and accommodate your needs.
