Sandcastle is the perfect Cape Cod retreat. It is located in a very nice neighborhood with easy walking access to a wonderful beach. House is beautiful, well equipped and very comfortable. We hope to return.

We had a wonderful week at the Sandcastle. Easy walk to the beach and short drive into town. We loved the cozy, charming house and all of the thoughtful details. Linen service was a bonus. We would absolutely stay here again. Owners were very responsive to all questions. Thank you for a great stay.

Beautiful home w well maintained yard. Hydrangeas galore! Easy walk to beach. Shed has wagon, nice beach chairs/umbrella. Kids enjoyed the badmitton set.
Best of all, linens/towels included! So nice to have beds made on arrival. Thanks for setting the stage for a fun week!

My family (wife and two daughters) stayed here along with my parents (in their mid-70s). We were first struck by how beautifully manicured the landscaping is, and then by the cleanliness and lovely decor of the interior. We used every bit of the home, as 6 people felt a bit tight, at times, particularly with the primary bathroom on the main floor. However, there is a completely private and very nice outdoor shower, and a very nicely renovated half bath in the basement. Also in the basement are some weights and work out equipment, which we much enjoyed! We found the location of the home to be ideal for exploring all of Cape Cod. We visited Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Provincetown during our trip, and we found that these were all very comfortable driving distances (to ferries, etc.) from Chatham. The home has plenty of beach equipment/supplies in the shed, which was a real treat for our kiddos. The multiple seating locations around the exterior of the home, to include the porch, offered plenty of charm. We would definitely stay here again!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Sandcastle By the Beach is. From the moment you drive up to the shelled driveway, you feel the whimsicality and charm the Sandcastle has to offer. The garden is lovely and meticulously maintained, and the house is beautiful, updated, and beyond comfortable. We walked in to find two stuffies for our small children along, activities waiting for them, and a handwritten note welcoming us to their home along with an exquisite little flower arrangement. Rob and Julie also put together a helpful list of restaurants, places to shop, and areas to explore if you're new to the Cape. They're truly the perfect hosts--they're communicative, kind, and clearly put endless thought and care into their Sandcastle and ensuring your stay is magical. The house is less than a mile from wonderful restaurants and a 5 minute walk to Ridgevale beach, which could not be a better place for families. With the Nantucket Sound on one side and tidal pools on the other, there is something for everyone. The tidal pools are perfect for little kids to play, explore sea life, and wade through the warm waters. There is also a delicious snack bar and beach store run by the same family for decades. After spending years visiting the Cape, this is by far one of our favorite homes. If you're lucky enough to secure a stay, don't waste a minute looking somewhere else. The Sandcastle is a dream away from home.

My wife and I could not have asked for more from Rob and Julie’s lovely home, the Sandcastle. Communication was quick and polite. The house was beautifully landscaped and appointed. Everything was meticulously clean as well. Amenities were all as advertised or better. Really enjoyed the gym downstairs! We went to Hyannis, Provincetown, and several other places on Cape Cod and we found Chatham to be the best, hands down. We will be back soon and we will be delighted to stay at the Sandcastle again. Thank you!

My family and I had a lovely stay at the Sandcastle in Chatham. This property was extremely well maintained and had everything we needed for our vacation. The proximity to the beach was everything given that we have two small children. The owner was easily accessible and very helpful throughout our stay. I would absolutely return and would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our quaint , beautifully decorated home for the week in Chatham!
Perfect for our family of 3 and our daughter brought a friend. Quiet neighborhood.
Just a short walk to beach.
A short drive into Chatham for shopping and restaurants.
My husband loved the gym in the basement and the extra bath down there was great for the girls to get ready at night. Our daughter loved the lighted mirror! The outdoor shower was a hit too!
Owners responded quickly with any questions.
Highly recommend!

Sandcastle By The Beach is a true treasure! This rental home sets the bar for all our future rentals. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable, well-equipped, immaculate, has spacious rooms, light-filled, and in a prime location. Amazing landscaping makes the already great outside areas that much more enjoyable. The large outdoor shower was so convenient to rinse off in after a long and sandy day at the beach. Rob and Julie were wonderful hosts and a pleasure to interact with - they answered any questions we had almost immediately. Our family of four really enjoyed the week we spent here!

I stayed with my wife and grade school age children for a week. The house was very clean and up-to-date. Nice property especially the front yard fire pit and backyard outdoor shower and deck. Walk and or bike ride to the beach was easy and convenient. We opted for a week long beach pass to make things even easier but walking is certainly possible. We will be going back again next year.

We had a great vacation at the Sandcastle. The house is conveniently located close to Ridgevale Beach and a short drive to restaurants and downtown Chatham. We walked to the beach and used the beach chairs, umbrella and wagon available at the house. The indoor and outdoor areas of the house are beautiful including the deck, yard and front patio. Rob and Julie were very helpful when we had questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful house.

Great house, great location, great hosts! Loved walking to the beach, biking, daily walks to buy morning breakfast pastries at Marions, enjoyed meals on the deck, well-appointed kitchen with everything one could need! Gorgeous gardens and the outdoor shower was a highlight even in the rain! We thoroughly enjoyed our week making lifelong memories and would absolutely LOVE to return in the future!

My husband and I stayed at the Sandcastle with our 1 year old for our first family vacation on the Cape. The house was perfect for us; clean, well-stocked, comfortable and very close to the beach. My in-laws also stayed for a few nights and we still had plenty of space. The owners were very responsive and communicated with us quickly and clearly. We were hoping to find a place to stay as a yearly tradition and we found it here. We are already looking forward to next year!

We stayed here for 5 nights for a family wedding held nearby. The Sandcastle was very comfortable and pleasant to stay at - house well stocked and nicely decorated - great places to sit outside and great location. Would love to stay here again. Rob and Julie were very responsive and helpful at all times! Thank you!

This home is wonderful from the beautiful landscaping outside to the tasteful decor inside! Very comfortable home with beautiful touches everywhere, on a quiet street leading to a spectacular beach. Everything we needed was available in the home! We hope to stay again!

When you think Cape Cod, you think of this home. Adorable. Decor pretty but also comfortable. And easy walk down to beach, even if just for sunset. The deck out back great for outside dining, although we did not get that chance. Julie and Robert very responsive.
5.0
I highly recommend this home, it was pristine from the moment that you drove into the driveway.
Every accommodation from home was there. You can cook up a storm like we did and I didn’t even need to bring the basting brush that I packed.
The beds were so comfortable And the outdoor shower was a Family hit. No one even showered inside.
The proximity to the beach is amazing. We had my one and a half year old grandson with us and he really enjoyed roaming around the property. We were able to walk to Marians pie shop which I highly recommend
This is truly a home away from home!!!

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable Chatham cottage. Walked to the beach every day, enjoyed roasting s’mores around the fire pit and dinners on the deck. Had lots of sand toys and games for the kids along with a wagon to take to the beach. Beautiful landscaping and interior. The owners are very responsive and sweet.

Incredible vacation and beautiful home with close proximity to beach- only a 5 minute walk. Clean and spacious with nice outdoor shower, multiple lounging areas outdoors, and very close to many nice restaurants. Road not conducive to bike riding into town sadly as too much traffic and no bike lanes. Easy communication with owner.
5.0
This property was adorable. The landscaping is impeccable and makes the outdoor living spaces so relaxing. Coastal decor enhances the beautiful renovations. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. The owners are very communicative and it's clear they want you to have a great experience in their home. It's less than a 5min walk to the beach and the neighborhood has plenty of walking routes to get your morning steps in! Definitely a gem! Can't wait to visit again.

We had a wonderful 2-week stay at Sandcastle and absolutely love this property. The owners, Rob and Julie, are delightful and helpful to work with, communicate clearly, and pay attention to the details. Cottage is well decorated, stocked, comfortable beds and linens and the outdoor areas are beautiful! Outdoor shower is large and very nice, too. So close to Ridgedale Beach (best beach for little kids) and still in close proximity to town and Veteran's Field. We had 0 complaints about our stay and would recommend to first timers or long-time Cape or Chatham return visitors! Thank you, Rob and Julie!!

Well Maintained Home & Great Location
Home was newly remodeled and the outdoors (front and back yards) was well maintained with multiple areas to hang out and relax. Owners very responsive to a few questions we had. Excellent location relative to Ridgevale Beach (5 minute walk). The home seemed a bit small for 4 adults and 2 kids, but that was likely due to the energetic kids. While the basement could be used as a play area and extra sleeping area in a pinch, it is really very musty and not recommended for that.

Perfect cape home
I have rented houses in Chatham since the early 80’s and this one is perfect. Exceptionally clean and fully supplied with nice bath and beach towels, beach toys, umbrella and wagon for carting all to the beach, just down the street. Hope I get to go back again soon!

Very nice, comfortable home...just right for our needs. It's well appointed.
Hope to rent this place again when we return to the Cape in the future.

Fun beautiful trip!
This was our first time going to Cape Cod and I’m so glad we decided to stay in Chatham and that we choose the Sandcastle house! We absolutely loved it. Perfect size for our family it had everything we needed they have two bikes and the beach is just down the street from the house. We want to return and would 100% stay at this house again! It’s close to downtown and it was just adorable! We made so many great memories on this trip! 🇺🇸❤️

Wonderful!
My family of 4 had a fantastic time at the Sandcastle. It is elegantly yet simply decorated with thankfully no knick knacks around. Everything was clean and ready for us upon arrival. The beds were soft and incredibly comfortable. The natural light and quiet of the new windows also made it a lovely space. The location is the absolute best. The expansive beach is easily within walking distance from the house. Marion’s delicious pie shop is up the road and downtown Chatham and other towns are a short drive. The hosts were very easy to work with and responded quickly to all of my questions. It really felt we were renting from friends.

Perfect Cottage, Steps from the Beach!
This cottage was absolutely perfect! No detail was overlooked - it was immaculate, cozy, and exactly what we were looking for in our get away to the Cape. The ocean was right around the corner, and the homeowners provided all that we needed for fun days at the beach. The owners were also extremely responsive! We had no issues at all, but did have a quick question, and they responded within minutes! Highly recommend, we know we’ll be back for sure!

Perfect Cape Escape
We spent a week at the Sandcastle cottage and I can only say that it exceeded our expectations. I've been vacationing on the cape for over 30 years and this was by far the best cottage that we've rented. The property is incredibly well maintained, impeccably cleaned, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Rob and Julie were incredibly helpful in terms of making sure we enjoyed our stay. Ridgevale beach was a perfect spot and a super quick walk from the cottage.

Hard to Leave
My husband and I had a wonderful two week stay at the SandCastle. Julie and Rob’s home was beautifully decorated and very clean. It was well furnished with everything we needed for our stay. The outdoor space was beautiful as well. The location could not have been better. It was walking distance to Ridgevale Beach and a short ride to the bike trail. We look forward to coming back for another stay next year.

Perfect House!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. It was an easy walk to the beach with our kids and the owners even had a beach wagon to make carrying all of our beach items super easy. It was also an easy drive to so many delicious restaurants and sights all over Cape Cod. The owners were very responsive to questions. I highly recommend a stay at this house.

Perfect Chatham escape by the beach!
We spent several weeks at the sandcastle for a mix of vacation and remote working. The location is excellent. Just a quick walk from Ridgevale Beach and a short drive to downtown Chatham. The house is very clean, thoughtfully decorated, and has a great kitchen and outdoor entertaining spaces. Rob and Julie are incredibly welcoming and responsive hosts. Highly recommended!

An amazing week at the cape!
My husband and I and our 10 month old daughter had an excellent stay at this beautifully charming Chatham cottage. Rob and Julie were awesome hosts - communicating with us before our stay and during to ensure we had all we needed. Location is perfect, only a short walk to a beautiful beach. The house was very clean and perfect for our ten month old crawler. We can’t wait for our next stay!

We loved the Sandcastle! Will return!
We loved our weekend at the sandcastle. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, kind and very responsive. They made my sisters engagement weekend incredibly special and went above and beyond for us. The house itself is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and so so close to the beach, we walked to the ocean each night. Cannot recommend it enough.
