Beach Chic Chatham 5 STAR Family retreat-5 min walk to Beach
Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 24757

Our family of 7 had a perfect week at your lovely home. It is close to the beach and centrally located to everything we like to do on the Cape!! Thank you!!!

The property is immaculately maintained, very well equipped and centrally located for any mid-Cape activity. Spacious on a quiet cul de sac. Furnishings and general vibe is fresh and nautical themed. All around a great host and house and 5 week vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay at John's place! The home looks exactly like the pictures and it was pristine when we arrived.
The check-in process was incredibly smooth and John was extremely accommodating for us to check in both early and depart late. His welcome guide for the home came in handy multiple times. The home had all of the amenities we needed and it was a great place for two families with small children to stay. It's very close to a number of beaches, which was great for some winter walks, and not far from Chatham's downtown. We also loved that we were able to bring our dog for the weekend. We truly had zero complaints or concerns about our stay - One of the most pleasant home rental experiences our group has had! We will definitely be back!

John was an excellent and friendly communicator. He never made me feel like a burden, was always responsive, extremely proactive and kind. His clarity and kindness is a rarity these days and its so nice to see that an excellent host still exists.

The beach was a 15 minute walk. The walk and the beach were both stunning. I grew up in Massachusetts and I would frequently go down the Cape. I can confidently say that this location, neighborhood and house is quintessential Cape Cod

This was our 17th summer on the cape but our first stay with John. And wow! What a thoughtful host! We had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The cul-de-sac location was quiet. The house is tucked back off rte 28 in a great neighborhood. We enjoyed daily and evening walks down to the quiet beach. Our dog especially enjoyed all the nature and new smells. The house is comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Best part we were minutes from our favorite beaches and downtown. Highly recommend!!

The property is in a very nice neighborhood - a quiet and private area. Walkable to the beach. It was in excellent condition and clean. The recent remodeling/updating is fantastic. Bike supply was terrific and we biked to the beach and the local rail to trail. Landlord was very communicative, generous and helpful. I highly recommend this home.

We had a fantastic family vacation with grandparents, our 2-year old child, and our mini goldendoodle! The house is in a beautiful neighborhood in South Chatham - quiet, private, and a short walk to the beach. The beach is long and great for walking on and for finding sea shells. Chatham downtown (restaurants, shops, etc) is only a short drive. The house itself is very clean and in great condition and many of the spaces appear to be newly updated. This is a perfect family space with multiple sitting rooms and communal areas. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were comfortable. John (the owner) is really on top of everything, and made sure we had everything we needed! There are also lots of bikes available in the garage. We would definitely stay again!

Absolutely loved the house, location and Forrest Beach! Close to water, shopping, restaurants and more! Beautiful decor, super clean, very comfortable , great for families! Had everything you could possibly need! Highly recommend this property!

We had a lovely stay at this house in Chatham. The location is great the neighborhood is lovely and a close walk to the beach. The house is beautifully maintained and equipped with a lot of high-end features that made the stay truly enjoyable. I cannot recommend it enough...

My husband and I spent a week enjoying the Cape and relaxing at this cozy home. The house was as beautiful as the pictures and you could tell the care and thought that went into the renovation. The kitchen was well equipped with everything and the bedroom was amazingly quiet and comfortable-- the best I have slept in a long time! John, the owner was very communicative and great to deal with. Thanks for making our vacation a real treat. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again!"

We've stayed at many homes on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and the Outer Banks over the last 20 years. Cape Escape is at the top of our list of homes away from home.

Everything you would want or need while on vacation is available at Cape Escape. Close to the beach, numerous bicycles, quiet street, well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, brand new Weber Grill etc. etc. etc. I could go on and on.

We didn't have a need to contact John for any issues but if we needed anything I'm sure he would respond immediately. He checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was ok and that we were enjoying the home. Can't say enough about this home.

Our family of four had a dreamy vacation at this beautiful house with our friends, another family of four. The house was tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished, and well-stocked with everything you could possibly need.

Our little kids LOVED their bunk beds (even though it was a bit challenging to climb up, which kinda made it all the more fun). And the house is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac so kids felt safe playing outside on their own. My 4-year-old son loved picking fresh tomatoes from the herb garden and feeding us everyday.

John was attentive throughout our stay and was helpful whenever we had any questions.

We went on a day trip to Provincetown, a seal watching cruise, Breakwater Beach at low tide (which was magical), and enjoyed many afternoons at Schoolhouse Pond, but our favorite part of the trip was biking on the bike trails. We used the tandem bike and a bike with a trailer that were in the garage, and rented another bike with a trailer, so all eight of us could go on these bike rides together. It was exhilarating!

I do want to add that if you have small children like us, you might want to bring blackout curtains (black garbage bags with tapes would do) so kids would sleep later, and/or noise machines so even after kids wake up you could still sleep in a little. :)

Overall, we truly loved our stay at the house, and we already can't wait to go back!!

We had a wonderful time away. The house was well appointed, the location was amazing- short walk or ride to Forest Beach, the bikes were plentiful and appreciated and John was attentive throughout our stay. Due to covid we didn't venture to far from home but didn't need to- house had everything we needed for a great week away with our family. Would love to return.

We stayed at Cape Escape for a week and had a wonderful time. The home is absolutely lovely and in beautiful condition. Plenty of space and very open and airy. My husband and I stayed there with our 3 yr old and he kept commenting on how much he loved it. Also, lovely deck to enjoy outdoor meals. It is also very conveniently located - it is close to downtown Chatham and quite a few beaches. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to visit again in the future. Finally, John was very gracious throughout and made everything very easy and checked on us throughout to make sure all was going well.

Clean, quiet, close to beaches and town. Owner was very hospitable and accessible. Highly recommend

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is beautifully stylish, sparkling clean, thought has been put into what is needed by guests and it's stocked with everything but not cluttered. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in with everything you need. We loved the BBQ and sitting outside to eat and enjoy the garden, one day we saw bunnies hop by. The garden is filled with flowers (Summer), and herbs we can use. There was a great outdoor shower for use after the beach. The host John is one in a million with plenty of suggestions and ideas. The house is stocked with bikes, beach towels, chairs and toys for use. He is quick to communicate and thoughtful. We loved our stay and thrilled with how everything went. We can't wait to go back. Don't hesitate!

We loved everything about this home. It was well maintained, comfortable, roomy and clean! It was conveniently located to both Chatham and Harwich allowing for easy access to both towns' beaches. The homeowners provided a wide array of bicycle choices so we did not have to travel with our own, a big plus! Our only regret is not staying an additional week. Highly recommend this home!

Incredible home! Beautifully maintained! We loved our stay at “Cape Escape”! We have been vacationing at a family home in East Harwich since 2013 and are familiar with the area. This year we celebrated our wedding with 18 family members and needed a 2nd home. We could not have made a better choice! The location, home and all of the amenities were everything we had hoped for. We hope to have another opportunity to stay in this wonderful home!

We loved our stay and our vacation was one to remember! The home was great. It was very clean, well kept and comfortable. It was conveniently located and we were on the go every day. We traveled up and down the coast, spent a day at Martha's Vineyard, another day at Nantucket, went whale watching and saw many other sites. Every day was something different and beautiful views everywhere we went. I definitely would love to visit again in the future! John was great to deal with and is very friendly. We definitely appreciate his hospitality!

A Slice of Heaven. From the moment you pull into the driveway, you will not be disappointed. This home is perfect in every way......location is close to main routes, attractions, great dining and all the beautiful beaches Cape Cod has to offer. John and Ruby offer thoughtfulness throughout the house. Impeccably decorated with that casual comfortable feel of home. We came to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy some quality family time while celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary and our granddaughter's 5th birthday. We will definitely call on John and Ruby for our next Cape Escape! Grace and Bill Knowles

Perfect place for a family vacation. Close to a beach and a bike trail, lovely quiet neighborhood. The house is very well maintained, comfortable, clean and fully equipped. Most of all I was impressed how well the kitchen was equipped. I've never seen such a great kitchen in a rental property. We loved that there were bicycles that we could use. It was very enjoyable. John, the owner, was very friendly and responsive from the time of enquiry up until our departure, and even after (took care about our stuff that we accidentally left).

Overall we would rate this property a 5 star house and would definitely recommend to anybody.

John & Ruby are really superb hosts, very accommodating, making sure we were all set… to our delight, John even texted to let us know the house was ready a few hours early! Food in the area was fabulous. Burritos from the Corner Store, dinner at Karoo. The Talkative Pig Bistro and Pisces Restaurant are just a few minutes on foot.

The central “Elbow of the Cape” location of the home is really optimal for exploring all the area has to offer. Great beaches are really close, shopping in picturesque downtown Chatham was awesome… It really was the best location we’ve stayed at on the Cape.

The house was extraordinary - the children’s nautical themed bunk beds are surreal - our daughters wanted to spend all their time in there. The beach house decor is updated and welcoming, the right combination of modern & chic, very relaxing and inviting. Exactly what I want my beach house living room to be like… someday! The kitchen had all the necessities and then some!

There is everything you could ever want for day trips… bikes, beach chairs, toys, beach towels - it’s really a home away from home, and we look forward to returning soon!

The Cape Escape is a great place for a relaxing vacation. The home is beautifully decorated and very inviting - the owners have taken great care in providing a warm and comfortable atmosphere. It's conveniently located in a nice, quiet residential area. We enjoyed all that Chatham has to offer - great restaurants, beaches, bike trails and a quaint downtown area which is nice for strolling...We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Exceptional accommodations complete with high end cookware , grill, 22 ft cu refer, and all other needed appointments . Well located for excursions to the Fish Pier; shops, Nantucket, the local beach and the National Seashore. Big stop and shop nearby

Planning a visit to Cape Cod from the UK was always going to be tough when you weren't sure how best you might get around or where was best to stay. We couldn't have got it more right though. This is an excellent property. Location-wise, it's only a five minute walk to the nearest (private) beach but also really central for exploring the entire Cape and getting to the bigger life-guarded public beaches. You'll need a car but since it's right on the corner of the Cape you can get north to Provincetown or west to the ferry for Martha's all within an hour. There's a really handy local ferry to Nantucket too. The house itself is absolutely charming, very clean and excellently equipped. You can sit out on the deck with absolute privacy during the day and relax in the wonderful vaulted-ceiling snug at night. There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance (a burger/pizza bar and a finer restaurant to suit both ends of the budget) and for the active, it's less than a mile jog to the Cape Rail Trail - a brilliant metalled pedestrian/cycle track that goes on for about 20 miles. We had a fabulous fortnight here and the owners are very helpful and keep the place beautifully. Definitely stay here. And, definitely go and watch the Whales from Provincetown!

We had a wonderful week in Chatham. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked with all the necessities. We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and the short bike ride to Forest Beach.It's a great place for young and older ones alike!

We just returned home from our vacation at Cape Escape in Chatham, MA. I can't find enough words to describe how wonderful this house was! It was beautifully appointed with every convenience a family could possibly need while away from home. Convenient access to beaches, ponds, restaurants and shopping made this home an ideal location for our stay on Cape Cod.

We rented this lovely house for a long-weekend family get-together for five adults. The house is immaculate with modern, clean appliances. John is a thoughtful host and responded to our inquiries in less than 15 minutes both pre-booking and during our stay. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and the backyard is very private. The deck is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee or grill when you don’t want to dine out. You can walk to Forest Beach and (on Rt. 28) to Pisces restaurant. With a living room, open kitchen/dining room, sun-room and spacious deck, you can enjoy being in a group or have space for some quiet time away from others. The owners anticipated guests’ needs, especially the well-equipped kitchen with all the cooking equipment and utensils you might need---baking sheets, roasting pans, etc and the great stove/oven. We even found nightlights so you won’t stub your toes at night. We would book again if vacationing on the Cape.

Beautiful spotless home ! Great location to gorgeous beach! Perfect location in beautiful Chatham ! Couldn't ask for a better house to rent!!
