Charming Beach House ~ Beautifully Updated & Immaculate. Walk to Sandy Beaches

Fabulous opportunity to rent this impeccably maintained home located in desirable Chatham neighborhood south of Route 28. Forest Street Beach on Nantucket Sound, a little piece of heaven, just 5/10th's of a mile, +/- down the street. This charming, upscale beach house has been beautifully updated and close to beaches, shopping, dining, conservation, tennis, ferry, and bike trails.

Our home offers a spacious, open floor plan filled with lots of natural light. Solid Maple Hardwood floors throughout. Large, sunny family room with brick fireplace and built-ins. The upgraded kitchen features honed granite countertops, an island/ breakfast bar, and a separate dining area. Natural stone tiled baths, large bedrooms, and closets. The main-floor master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and private deck access. This room is spacious and can accommodate a portable crib if needed. There is a second bedroom also located on the main floor which has two twin beds.

Fully finished, walkout basement adds another 630 square feet of living space, including a family room/den, bathroom, and an extra room for use as a playroom or office. The lower level's day bed and pull-out couch are perfect for your older kids or guests who want a private space of their own. This area also features a counter area equipped with microwave and mini-fridge. Extra roll-away bed available upon request. Our home is newly furnished and stocked with books, board games, movies, beach supplies, a gas grill, and a very spacious outdoor shower!

Enjoy morning coffee on the brick terrace, cocktails on the private multi-tiered deck, and strolls past conservation land to Forest Street Beach. The white sands and warm waters of Nantucket Sound make it perfect for young children learning to swim, while older kids and adults enjoy sailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling. The sunsets are amazing and the beach never gets too busy. Catch glimpses of passing sailboats as you enjoy sunset barbecues or clam bakes, and cocktails with family and friends. Ride a bike through our quiet neighborhoods to Pleasant St or Red River Beaches. Explore the Cape Cod rail trail - also located just 5/10th's of a mile, +/- away. Take a drive to view breathtaking bluffs overlooking endless beaches at the Cape Cod National Seashore and drive a little further to explore Provincetown. Take a ferry out of Harwichport (3 mi) to Nantucket. Looking for more stunning scenery? Visit Chatham Lighthouse Beach (2.5 mi) and afterward visit downtown for world-class dining and shopping on Main Street, a summer band concert, or a Chatham Angler's baseball game.

Centrally located at the “elbow” of Cape Cod, Chatham is a true Cape gem. Said to be as quaint as Nantucket without the boat ride, enjoy the main street and its unique shops, restaurants, theaters, and inns. Relax at the scenic beaches perfect for sunning, swimming, boogie-boarding, kayaking, windsurfing, or sailing. If the salt water is not your thing, try one of the calm spring-fed glacial kettle ponds which is a great alternative for young kids. Enjoy public golf courses. There are public tennis courts within walking distance. Check out the Cape Cod bike trail perfect for both avid cyclists and families. For some unique adventure hop on a water taxi at The Chatham Fish Pier to your private space on secluded South Beach or explore Monomoy Island. Try deep-sea fishing, whale or seal watching, kiteboarding, or catch the island ferries to the Vineyard or Nantucket. Kids love the go-carts, bumper boats, skateboard park, and miniature golf. In the evenings, enjoy the traditional downtown Friday Night Band Concerts in the park or take in a CCBL, Cape Cod Baseball League, Chatham Anglers game at Veterans Field, a play at the outstanding Monomoy summer theater, Like most people, you may just find yourself coming back, year after year.

Please call the property owner Tim (908-902-8631) for booking and help in planning your stay. We look forward to serving you!

A gem in Chatham
Ma famille et moi même avons eu un superbe séjour à cette maison. Le ménage était absolument impeccable, la localisation aussi. Les lits étaient confortables et les photos de rendent pas justice à la beauté de la maison. Tout était parfait. Nous aurions apprécié avoir laveuse séchage mais sinon tout était parfait!

2 week getaway
We checked in on an incredibly hot weekend and we were very happy to find that Tim was installing an AC unit in the lower level which was lovely. The AC in the rooms made sleeping very comfortable . We took the car to Forest Beach because of the heat but parking was really easy. The waters edge was full of shells and rocks so we needed water shoes, but the water was lovely. We tried out a few beaches including Nauset. The Atlantic water was chilly but felt good in the heat. The house had everything we needed, including a TON of DVDs and VHS old school tapes. There are books everywhere if you have some quiet time. Restaurants are close. Be sure to make some reservations ahead .

Quaint sea cottage
This is a great property for a small family. The location is great being such a short ride into downtown Chatham and near several beaches. The drawbacks are: they do not have central air and the only 2 air conditioners in the bedroom are extremely loud. They advertise it as 2 bathrooms but unfortunately the downstairs toilet was not working even after trying the trick they thought worked to refill the tank. I was pleasantly surprised though by how well they have stocked the house with so many amenities which made it so much easier to cook and head to the beach without having to bring a lot of supplies from our home.

Great house
The house was very nice with a beautiful deck. The neighborhood was quiet and close to the bike path . Chatham is a great area of the cape. Only “ complaint “ would be the seating in the living room upstairs. Can’t comfortably seat a family of four . Two couches or a sectional would be a great improvement .

First time in Cape Cod
Enjoyed the rear deck, yard and fire pit. Close to the beach. Nice house. Could have used more regular drinking glasses, serving platters and a place to store groceries. Chaise lounges on the deck would be a nice addition.

Clean and Quiet!
The house is clean and tucked away on a quiet little road. Our family of three enjoyed sitting on the deck, relaxing in the hammock and sitting in the quiet front or back yard. Forest Beach is about a half a mile - biked there easily. Also easy access to the Chatham bike trail and from there to the Cape Code Bike trail. Easy car ride into Chatham, good central Cape location. The kitchen is updated and we cooked several meals there. The owners were very responsive and helpful.

Lovely, relaxing, spacious home
We had a great stay in this home. Owners were very responsive and helpful in getting to know the Cape. We loved the open concept kitchen/living, the outdoor space, deck, grill, hammock, outdoor shower—and the quiet relaxing neighborhood, albeit a drive from Main Street in Chatham. There is no washer dryer available in the home which we found difficult on a beach vacation. Also, while the basement level was cozy and inviting, it needed more ventilation to be comfortable. Overall this home is even nicer than the pictures in the listing capture with lots of great books to read and closet full of games/puzzles for kids!

Great experience overall
I stayed here for a week with my daughter and thought the location and set up was a great fit for us. Tim was extremely responsive every time I contacted him (before, during and after our stay). It was pretty hot when we were there so I wish it had central AC, but otherwise it was comfortable and cozy for us. I loved the outdoor shower and deck area was great too. I would recommend this property!

Great location !
Me, my wife and our 17 month old daughter enjoyed every minute of our stay at this beautiful house. It is very clean and has a wonderful porch where we enjoyed our breakfast in the mornings and had some fun time playing with our daughter. It has a nice walking path ( 10 - 15 mins. ) to the beach and is near all the restaurants and shops on the main street, about 3 mins. away by car. A great location to stay and go out and discover Cape Cod.
