The property was very clean and suited our needs well. The owners were very responsive to all questions and needs. It is a great location with a private beach a 5 minute walk and other beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend this property for a family vacation.

The property is immaculately maintained, very well equipped and centrally located for any mid-Cape activity. Quiet cul de sac. Spacious but not too big. Furnishings and general vibe is fresh and nautical themed. All around a great host, 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 - especially his recommendation for linen rentals (we would also highly recommend Cape Cod Linen Rentals - David was fantastic!). 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 were great for some winter walks, and not too 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!

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 0.6 mile walk (or drive) to the beach. The beach is long and great for walking on and for finding sea shells. Chatham downtown (restaurants, shops, etc) is only about a 10-12 minute 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! Thank you!

Beautiful and Comfortable Home Away from Home
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!

Batteries fully recharged!
I loved the Cape Escape! My friends and I thought the home was even more beautiful than the photographs - sunny interior with room to spend time together and little nooks for "me time" also. Beds were very comfortable and the home was spotless. My only regret is that I am not there now. Location is perfect in a quiet neighborhood and easy driving distance to beach or main street. The beach is also an easy bike ride away and very private. John and Ruth are terrific hosts. I would go back in a heartbeat. If you have kids, definitely check out the natural history museum - it's only 7 miles away and worth the trip.

Felt right at home!
This home has an amazing balance of elegance and that welcoming "homie" feeling to it. Its a great size for two couples and kids. Location was great since you can get to a few different parts of the Cape fairly easily. Biking to the beach was a highlight of the trip. The patio was the perfect spot to wind down at night. John was an amazing host who made sure we had everything we needed before and during the trip. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wonderful 'Cape Escape'
We had a fabulous 2 week stay at 'Cape Escape'. This is the perfect home for a family vacation. The home is spotless with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. A beautiful deck and back yard were enjoyed by my entire family. John's recommendations for both ocean beach and pond were spot on. I highly recommend! Thanks John

Great owner!
John, the owner, was excellent about communicating with us in a timely fashion and doing whatever he could to improve our visit. We had people ages 5-50 staying in the home. Even though we were rained out the entire weekend and could not enjoy most of the outdoor amenities he had available (i.e. grill, back porch, beach equipment), our entire group enjoyed the leisurely 4 minute bike ride to the private beach. There were so many bikes provided, including a bicycle built for 2, with which we had fun. The home is in a very quiet cul-de-sac so there were no cars zooming by. We felt comfortable with our kids playing outside. Our only suggestion would be to provide linens and incidentals (shampoo, bath soap, replacement paper towels, etc). For short term vacation rentals where one is hoping to pack lightly, sheets and towels for 10 people and incidentals took up 2 suitcases worth of room for us. It was extremely difficult to place sheets on the highest of the bunk beds which was much higher than a standard top bunk. However our boys enjoyed this bunk bed room and it was great for the kids.

We had an amazing stay in Chatham, MA.
The weather was beautiful, we could easily walk to the beach or ride one of the many provided bikes (which was great!!). The house was clean, the rooms were nice and big. Lots of room to sit quietly and read or play games with the family. John was great to work with. Overall a very relaxing vacation.

Wonderful spring vacation on the Cape!
Our party of 6 (3 adults, 3 children ages 8, 8, and 12) and our pup had a fantastic time at Cape Escape for our April school vacation week! The house was perfectly sized for our group, with a wonderful deck for reading in the sun. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the dining table served as a perfect spot for puzzles and card games. Kids LOVED the bunk room! The neighborhood was quiet and Forest Beach was just a short walk away. The tennis courts/playground near Judy’s Lane were also a big hit, as were the bikes in the garage. Downtown Chatham was only ten minutes’ drive from the house and we enjoyed a few short trips to the charming shops. All in all, a relaxing, fun, and perfect break from life!

A perfect getaway
What a perfect cape escape! From the beginning to the end the owners were extremely communicative and accommodating. The house has a great lay out with plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance we could have needed. The only improvement suggestion is to provide linens. Great home, where we had a very enjoyable stay. I highly recommend.

Great Stay!
I booked this property over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was wonderful! John, the owner, was wonderful to work with and was able to offer flexibility with an earlier check-in and later check-out. The house interior is tastefully decorated and well-cared for, and the use of bikes on property was great, and the beach is just a short walk and we enjoyed watching the evening sunset. I highly recommend renting the property And hope to book again this summer.

Perfect Property
My wife, two teenage kids and I spent a long Columbus Day weekend at this wonderful property. The location was great. It was a short drive to downtown Chatham, and a number of other nice cape towns. It was a short walk, or really short bike ride down to beautiful and walkable Forest Beach. The house feels like home the moment you walk in the door. Arriving at the property was super easy. The house is immaculately clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. John was an excellent host, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Next time we're in the Chatham area, I won't have to bother looking for another property to stay in, because this one was perfect for me and my family...Thanks John!

Everything you need
Our family had a lovely week staying in Chatham. Hospitality was quite spectacular- from the time we booked our reservation through the end of our stay. The host checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and communicated clearly about house rules and how to use appliances. The house was beautiful, located on a quiet street about a 10 minute walk from the beach, 3/4 of a mile from a bike and running path, and in close proximity to many other beaches and places to visit on the Cape. The beach chairs, toys, and bikes available to us were perfect. It was a great vacation.

Perfect vacation rental to relax
We so enjoyed our stay at Cape Escape.
The house offers all the comfort you need away from home. The location of the property is at close proximity to many threat hiking places. Chatham is a charming town where we can stroll around and enjoy an ice cream cone!
The communication with the owner about finding tips about visiting the area is great.
Thank you John. We are looking forward to staying at ape Escape again!

Great House and Excellent location!
My family (including kids) enjoyed our stay at Chatham escape. The house has everything you need and more. Great location, close to the pond and beach. I highly recommend this place, John -the property manager - was reachable at all time for questions about the area or places to go. We are very grateful he let us bring our two dogs. We are already planning to return next year!

Cape Escape outside of Chatham
The home was perfectly sized and laid out for a family of 5 (including 8, 12, and 14 year olds). We greatly appreciated the incredibly well-stocked kitchen, the abundance of bikes and boogie boards, and quiet cul-de-sac. We also greatly appreciated the opportunity to bring our little dog. The home is within walking distance of a tennis court, bike trails, and beach. While the beach was too calm for our kids, it might be great for a family with little ones. If I could change, it would be the outdoor shower which is open. Therefore, we enjoyed the master bedroom shower which has a cool beach motif including the floor. The owner was excellent at communicating throughout.

Cape Cod Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at John & Ruby's home in August, 2019. It's a peaceful respite at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac away from the hectic summer Cape crowds, beautifully maintained yet convenient both to drive to Chatham, or to walk to the spotless local beach, less than a half mile walk away.
John was there to greet us and show us the home, and was available by phone literally 24/7 to quickly respond to all our needs. We especially loved both the gorgeous master bath shower and the outdoor shower, which is totally open, yet not observable from neighbors as the house is surrounded by trees
Our kids came from NYC w/partners for one weekend and the house was fine with all six of us there, and our little dog enjoyed chasing rabbits in the yard, and daily walks thru the woods and around the neighborhood.
All in all, everyone had a goood time.

John was very helpful throughout our stay. The house was perfect for our family of 3 kids- bikes were amazing and cul de sac/neighborhood tennis court for playing! We loved everything about Chatham and the area close to both forest beach and the cape cod bike trail. We spent two weeks and weren’t bored for a minute. Thank you!!

Cute Clean Chatham House On Quiet Street!
John’ family house was perfect for a birthday getaway long weeeked, this mostly modernized house was just the right amount of quiet but close to town, and at most a 10 min walk to a great local beach.
House was well stocked and John was one of the more attentive and proactive owners I have had the pleasure of renting from having used HomeAway a bunch in the past.
We will definitely consider this property again if we stay in this part of the cape👍�

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!

Beautiful house in great location!!!
First thing John and Ruby are great hosts. John gave his time on the phone for great recommendations around Cape Cod. They were always quick in returning phone calls or texts.
The house was as advertised. Beautiful and most importantly clean. Also has everything you need. Kitchen had everything you need to cook. Bikes and beach chairs in garage. Relax on the backyard deck. Tv and wifi
Location was great. 10 minute walk to beach. Also free parking if you decide to drive. Only 10 minute ride to downtown Chatham or Harwich. 20 minute ride to Hyannis.
Would stay here again
