About this property

This listing combines a large house having a deck with a beautiful view of the ocean and an adjacent cottage allowing for peace and quiet. Perfect for an extended family, or for family and friends where some privacy (or social distancing) is desired. Great for working at home, or long walks on the beach.

Watch the ocean from the main house deck. or from the couch in the living room, or up in the second floor bedroom, as the boats go through the cut between the beach and the outer barrier sandbar. A quick walk down the path to the beach, and choose between Lighthouse beach on the left or right towards Monomoy (shells always, see seals swimming often). There are several beach chairs provided.

The main house has 3 floors, cable (2 TVs, Comcast wifi), great mini-split AC, a large kitchen, and a gas grill on the deck. It sleeps 8 - with up to 4 kids in 2 bunkbeds in one large kid-friendly room, or up to 6 adults in queen beds in 3 comfortable rooms, with a tub or shower on each floor). It is a pleasant walk up to Chatham light or on to the town center.

The cottage sleeps 4, with a queen bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the livingroom. The cottage kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, dishwasher and microwave.
The cottage has its own Comcast wifi/cable, with a smart TV. The bathroom has a tub/shower. Summer breezes often provide effective cooling, with window air conditioners also available.

Like many Cape Summer rentals, linens (sheets, towels, pillowcases) are not provided. There are a number of firms that deliver and pickup linens in Chatham, and we'd be happy to provide a partial list.

Every year we get questions about our no pets policy. Between May 1st and September 15th dogs aren't allowed on Chatham beaches, except one, and that one is a bit of a drive. And a pet left inside a strange house while its owners are at the beach may decide to take revenge, and that's not something that I or my cleaning team have time to wrestle with during the transition between guests.

We want to mention a minor parking inconvenience, so as to avoid surprises. Around Labor Day 2023 a fence was erected blocking our cottage parking. All of our renters last Summer were successfully able to make use of our main house parking (including the front lawn in some cases), and we are working to have our cottage parking restored.

Thanksgiving in Chatham

Our family rendezvoused with friends from the UK for Thanksgiving in Chatham. The waterfront property was cozy against the November chill, yet spacious enough for everyone to gather around the table--and spread out to do their own things. The kitchen was well-appointed enough to cook Thanksgiving dinner, and the coastal view from the dining room truly something to be thankful for. Russ was a responsive host and a committed caregiver to this family home. This was our second trip, and hopefully not our last.

Chatham by the Sea

We completely enjoyed our stay. The layout of the home allows for a mixture of together time & quiet relaxation. It was larger than the pictures portray. The main level of the home was perfect for my 80+ mom with a hall bathroom next to her room. The cottage doesn’t have a futon in the living room, but a queen sized very comfortable sleeper sofa. A bonus. We hope to return.

Nice location, house with issues

The best part of this place is the location and proximity to the beach and the town of Chatham. On arrival, we were greeted by 10 putrid cans of the previous guest’s garbage plus their recycling. The house is eclectic New England with low ceilings, doors and windows that don’t close or open, uneven flooring, old college/grandmother’s house-style furniture, unstable finicky Wi-Fi, and infestation of ants. The downstairs shower leaks onto the floor. There is no parking for the second house (Barnacle), no air conditioning in the bedroom, and no easy access to its front door. The pathway down to the beach has plenty of poison ivy and ticks, so be on the lookout. We spent considerable time over our week’s stay repairing sticky doors, rebooting the router, cleaning garbage cans, and negotiating very tight parking – space for two small cars only. For the luxury rate cost of this VBRO rental, the value was quite a disappointment.

Spectacular View

A typical Cape Cod cottage with a idyllic view located in the fabulous "upscale" town of Chatham was the perfect local for our extended family of 14 to gather and celebrate an 80th birthday! Sleeping quarters met our needs; one family with older boys used the cottage -Barnical, the 4 girls slept in bunk room with one set of parents in bedroom,The grandparents had the view upper level. Wish the deck had another table so we could all eat outside together. It is a 7 minute walk to a lovely beach -a beach cart helps with the load, but its worth it. Low tide is best and you can walk down beach to sand bars. we even had a double kayak, which was fun for all. Saw several seals each day. There is a current so its not a deepwater swimming spot, but you can cool off and lots for curious kids from sand castles, catching small crabs and shelling. Its a beautiful walk to town, and Chatham Fish Market & Pier a short drive down Shore Rd -a must for fresh seafood and watching fishing boats off load. Only thing really missing is an outdoor shower. All in all, a perfect location and a well stocked, cottage for all ages. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Russell F. Haddleton

I spent many summers of my youth at this house - it has been in my family since the early 60s. The house has changed a lot over the years. A new level has been added. A hot tub has come and gone. A deck, a garage, added. An upstairs bedroom expanded. Much of the flooring has been replaced. The house is now my responsibility, and as I live and work near Boston I can't spend the time here that I'd like.

Why they chose this property

Chatham!
It's a comfortable, modern, spacious home with wonderful ocean views and a short walk to the beach. It's a very special place. Have a look at the pictures.

What makes this property unique

The location is ideal - walk to Lighthouse beach, or to the center of town. Or just watch the boats pass by from the deck...
It has a generator backup. If power goes out it will be back in seconds. There is a reasonably tuned piano in the bunk room.
There is AC/Heat provided by a number of mechanisms,
in the past few years three mini-split systems were installed. They cool very effectively.
And there are two waffle makers.
