Ocean View Dining and Deck in Chatham, Cockle Cove, updated!
South Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 26548

Hi Steve,
We truly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect! The views were outstanding. We enjoyed breakfast on the deck each morning and the barbeque worked out perfectly for dinner. The cottage was very clean and the new AC unit worked extremely well. We cannot thank you enough. And look forward to booking again.

Best regards,
Laraine & Carl Thater

My wife and I recently spent a week at the Overlook Cottage. It was exactly as described, a clean and quiet spot close to the beach. Because of the incredible view from the back deck we ended up eating there more often then planned. A short drive to downtown Chatham with little to no traffic. My favorite seafood market down the street, nothing more we could ask for. Our host Steve was awesome and available if needed. There are many rental homes in the area and most with fancy upgrades and large rooms, but NO place had this view. If you just wanted a nice quiet place to get away, this is it!!! Can't wait until next summer.

When I grew up, my family had a cottage in Cockle Cove so this was a return many years later to a special place on the Cape. This property had it all from our experience - a great location, proximity to the beach, beautiful views, peace and quiet and a central location for visiting places of interest on the Cape. The owners were helpful and available and the property well kept with everything we needed for a great time. Eat in or go to one of the great places to eat close by. Shop and visit in Chatham. Visit Wellfleet, Provincetown, Hyannis and more. Great resources and ideas available at the house. Watch fishermen, birds and wildlife from the deck and take in beautiful views of the Sound. Loved it. No problems at all. Thanks for the memories!

My wife and I stayed at this beautiful place last year for one week. This property was AMAZING. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful beaches, and amazing views! We loved it so much that we came back this year again! If you are looking for a gorgeous, comfortable place in the perfect location then you’ll love “Overlook” cottage as much as we do. The cottage has incredible views of the water and the marshes with wildlife that you can watch while sitting on the deck eating, talking, reading and just relaxing. This cottage is very clean and is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. The kitchen is well stocked and sparkling. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage tremendously and didn't want to leave. We would definitely recommend this gorgeous place to our friends!

An enchanting view awaits you at this charming cottage. It is cozy and exceptionally clean, with all the amenities you need for a comfortable vacation. Ownership pride is evident here with investment in a new washer/dryer and a new dishwasher. What a magical spot!

This is the perfect get-a-way ... just enough space with an endless view of the water. We loved the new bath, cozy living room and especially the deck. It was spotless when we checked in and the owners who live nearby were the perfect hosts.... full of ideas where to eat/shop and just enjoy a great vacation. We'll be back !!

Great getaway!

This little cottage is easy to fall in love with - out the back door is a short stretch of flat marsh (with countless birds, animals and a lovely breeze) and beyond is the ocean. You can hear the lapping tide and see the sailboats as you sit on the deck and have your morning coffee. The beach is just a short walk and is absolutely lovely! Be sure to check out low tide, when you can walk out really far and still stay only up to your knees, and the tidal pools are filled with lots of critters.
The house has everything you need, including the charm of the Cape as we hear it once was (this was our first time!). Working with Steve, the owner, was easy and he's quite nice. We will be back for sure! Don't forget to try the seafood pie at the nearby pie shop, and their cinnamon buns! :)

View alone is worth the stay.

The yellow cottage is a nature lovers paradise, views of both the ocean and the marsh(which is teeming with wild life). The cottage was as described, clean and well supplied, just bring your bedding. Location was close to restaurants and attractions including a short walk to Cockle Cove beach. Would recommend to family and friends.

Best stay in Chatham in over 30 years!!!

We had an amazing vacation and loved our stay in the yellow cottage. Perfect for my family of 4 and a view of the Ocean to die for. The wildlife is wonderful: heron,deer,rabbits, and a pack of coyotes and their pups shared the property with us for a true South Chatham experience. I have been going to the Cockle Cove area almost every year since 1982 and this was by far my best experience. Up to date cottage just seconds from the beach. I would highly recommend if you want a true Cape Cod experience and truly relax.

Can't wait to go back!

This was our second time staying at the little yellow cottage and certainly won't be our last! The size is perfect for my husband and I and our two young daughters and the location is just perfect. The walk to the beach is short and pleasant and the view from the back deck is just gorgeous! We enjoyed watching a mother coyote and her two pups frolicking in the marsh behind the cottage a few mornings which was a special treat along with other wildlife and countless birds. The beds were comfortable and the cottage is outfitted with absolutely everything we needed. Chatham is the perfect location for a family with young ones as there is a wonderful playground and ball field downtown along with fun shops and restaurants. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect, quiet place on the Cape with great views

The cottage is perfect for me. The first time I saw it, I was so pleased because it was exactly like the online posting's description. I wanted a quiet, private place that would make me feel like I was living there, not just vacationing. It has just the right amount of space and amenities. It is always clean (love the new bathroom remodel), the view is spectacular (sitting on the back deck is so relaxing) and it is very easy to get to. A great location from which to explore the rest of the Cape. Steve and Barb are so nice and allow you the peace you look forward to when getting away from it all. I have been there 5 times in 2 years and will be returning as long as they will have me. I love referring to it as "my cottage" and HIGHLY recommend it!

My aunt and I have rented this little piece of heaven for three years in a row in the early days of May, and I'm afraid we do feel quite attached to it now. There's plenty of space for us since we each have our own room (but it would be fine for four adults and still doable for six friends). My aunt is in her 70's, so the single-floor layout is as important as the quiet neighborhood location.
And we have all the conveniences of home: a well-appointed kitchen, comfy furnishings, laundry, TV, books, games, a fireplace, and more. Of course the deck and view (to echo other reviewers) are bonus features that make this cottage a very special place. We love to stroll on the beach or pop into town for treats and shopping, but the location in Chatham is also convenient for exploring up or down the coast without making it a really long day. Steve (the owner) is friendly, accessible and helpful but rarely seen otherwise, so it feels like our own private cottage on The Cape, even if it's only for a few days a year.
