About this house rental
After walking by the beautiful hydrangeas and entering through the front door you will realize this house is much more spacious than it looks from the outside. You enter the comfortable living room with the adjoining dining area and you look into the very spacious fire-placed family room with a 32 square foot picture window overlooking the large back yard bordered by trees. This room also has a table for dining with a pass through window from the kitchen and a desk for those needing to keep up with things at the office.
The black and white eat in kitchen has an Electrolux wall oven, a new Bosch dishwasher, a Jenn-aire ceramic cook top, a Keurig coffee maker as well as a drip coffee maker, granite counter tops and recessed lights.
There are two bedrooms and a full bath (tub with shower) on this level.
The first bedroom has a queen sized bed, the second bedroom has two twins.
All floors on this level are oak except for the kitchen and bath which are ceramic tile.
As you proceed downstairs to the walk out lower level the washer dryer will be on your left. To the right will be three twin beds which are a perfect set up for children. This room shares a closet with the other bedroom on this floor.
The fourth bedroom has a queen bed, a flat screen TV, a full bath (no tub) and its own private entrance if desired. Great for the in-laws, babysitter or a second couple. The house can be very comfortable for a single family, the extended family or two families. My family has stayed here under all three scenarios and always had a great time.
The large back yard has lawn furniture, a picnic bench for 8, a gas grill and an enclosed outside shower. The yard is big enough for whiffle ball, croquet, or whatever else you may like to play and is not at all close to any roads.
Ridgevale Beach (very family friendly) is a quick walk down the road (or you can drive, there is parking). This makes a nice after dinner stroll as well.
Please note the house has central air throughout for your added comfort.
The Chatham Bike Trail which connects to the Cape Cod Rail Trail is less than a mile away.
Marian's Pie Shop is also an easy walk and her cinnamon rolls are legendary. The center of downtown Chatham is about 3.5 miles and can be reached via the bike trail if so desired. Movie theater, library, band concert, summer baseball league, great restaurants, golf, tennis and pickle ball.

Ridgevale Beach is very special for the way its tidal stream forms a virtual moat around the beach proper. That stream creates a great stretch of sandy beach with no waves where younger children can enjoy the sand and water without the surf. Older kids can have a ball riding inflatables, going with the flow of the incoming and outgoing tide. Truly Mother Nature's Water Park.
Chatham Village is a short 5 to 10 minute drive where you'll find great shoppes, restaurants, and galleries. Enjoy the quaint movie house or band concerts on the green. And don't forget to hit one of the many ice cream parlors in town too!
NOTE BENE: Be sure to watch the video and read the reviews-great house in a great location.

We are veterans of Ridgevale rentals and this was a great house with great hosts for our 3 generations to enjoy.

Wonderful location, amenities and overall experience.

This house was in a great location: walkable to Marion's pie shop and Ridgevale beach, and a short drive to downtown Chatham and other beaches. Paul was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was clean but quite dated, and the downstairs bedroom felt very basement-y.

Week Long Stay in Chatham
Came to Chatham for a family wedding. We rented this property for the week with my in-laws, husband and 3yr old daughter. The house had everything we needed and was exceptionally clean. Paul was a fantastic host. Very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay
Our family had a wonderful stay in Chatham. The home is in a terrific location up the road from Ridgevale beach. The house has lots of space, and was well equipped with everything we needed. Check-in was a breeze and communication with Paul was also easy as can be. We had a great stay and would love to return if we visit the area again.

Great Chatham cottage for a family
Very nice cottage that had everything we needed for a great family vacation in Chatham. House seemed larger than the pictures showed and there was plenty of room for 3 couples and the kids. The owner Paul was friendly and attentive and in fact called to say we could check in early when house keepers were ahead of schedule. We took several walks down to Ridgevale beach through out the week, sometimes in the morning and other times just before sunset. Great place to relax and enjoy Chatham! Would definitely stay their again.

Wonderful little getaway!
I did a lot of research on where to stay for our visit to Cape Cod. We are a married couple and had 3 adult children with us. This house was perfect for us! It is close to so much, yet felt very private and on a wonderful little street that was not busy. A short walk to a beautiful beach and a short walk in the opposite direction to a wonderful pie shop! This house is close to Chatham, which we just loved that little town! The owner made everything very easy for us, and he was very responsive during the booking process. Lots of wonderful tips right by the back door. There are plenty of bed options and the beds were VERY comfortable. We loved playing games at the game table in the back living room. We were very happy with this house and it's location!!

Comfortable, light and airy. Good location
House was big. The family room was our favorite. Large windows., sunny, comfortable seating and a nice table for four. We spent most of our time there. The owner was. Sry responsive when I emailed with questions. It was nice to have 2 bedrooms. The kitchen was well appointed. Will come back again .

Great house in a great location--can't be beat.
We have been staying at this home every September for the past 14 years. Every year an enhancement has been made to the property. The proximity to Ridgevale Beach (10 minute walk) is a real plus. Further, about a half mile from Marian's Pie Shop and her famous cinnamon rolls and other great desserts. Just a tad further than that is the bike trail from which you can explore so much.
Chatham is centrally located halfway between Sagamore Bridge and Provincetown so it's easy to go to the National Seashore as well as Cape Cod Bay. But with Nantucket Sound at the end of the street, there is almost no need to go to the other beaches.
The house is always immaculate and well maintained, the backyard is large and the area is quiet. I highly recommend this for your visit to Chatham.

Lovely property in a fantastic location
This is a delightful cottage in a great spot on Cape Cod. It is not really walking distance to any town (although there's a delicious pie shop a few minutes away). But it's a 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach! It's also right in the centre of the Cape, so nothing is too far. We explored Hyannis, Yarmouth, Harwich, Orleans, Provincetown and Chatham in the one week stay.
The cottage itself is a little dated but very comfortable spacious and clean. The third bedroom and second bathroom is in the basement but it looks out onto the very ample backyard. The eat-in kitchen is perfectly usable and there are plenty of pots and pans and dishes and glasses, etc. There are two living room areas (a sitting area and a TV area), as well as a dining room (which we did not use).
Sheets and towels are not included and have to be rented separately, so take that into account when considering the price. However there are ample beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. This was a huge convenience as we threw them in the car and took them to the different beaches we explored.
The owner (Paul) was a total pleasure to deal with and even offered some recommendations about what to do. He stopped by at one point to return our security deposit personally.
We would completely recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonable rental on Cape Cod. It's more rustic rather than shiny and new. But as long as you understand what you are getting you will have a great time.

Everthing As Advertised!
There were no surprises during our recent stay....everything was just as we anticipated. The home was sparkling clean when we arrived and we found the main floor to be bright and spacious. The downstairs area is a little tighter but the space is ample. I would stay there again without question. We had a great time.

Perfect weekend getaway
Perfect home for our stay! Paul, the owner and his wife are very nice. The house is super cute, quiet and close to town. It was more than enough room for four of us. The bed was not very comfortable and the pillows need to be changed. Besides that, it was great. Would stay here again.

Fun, easy, and relaxing- a perfect getaway!
This home was perfect for us! We flew in from California for a family reunion. I was traveling with my two children, ages five and seven, my mom, and my 91-year-old grandmother. We wanted to make sure that any home we rented was able to accommodate everyone's needs-- this one did!
The downstairs room (with three cozy twin beds) was cute and fun for my kids while the bedroom was private and perfect for me. My grandmother enjoyed her room and had no issues navigating the home and the minimal stairs at the front door. The beds were clean and comfortable and each room had blackout shades!!! We happened to be there during a very hot and humid week so the air conditioning was a fabulous treat every time we got back to the house. The home was very clean, well taken care of, and well stocked. Additionally, the owners were prompt and responsive both before and during the rental, even checking in during the week and making sure everything ran smoothly.
There are plenty of beach chairs in the garage downstairs as well as extra beach toys for the little ones. The home is centrally located so it was great to be able to walk to Main Street and have something yummy at Marion's pie shop or just head straight down to the beach and spend the day there. There was plenty of comfortable space for everyone to spread out, dine, lounge, play games, do puzzles, or just enjoy a relaxing nap in the middle of the day.
The home has a really soothing energy to it so napping mid-day became a sought after part of our trip quickly upon our arrival. We couldn't have asked for anything more and would definitely come back to this home in the future!
Thank you!

Excellent home in a great locaton
My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. The location of the house is excellent. It's a short drive to the shops on Main Street in Chatham and walking distance to Ridgevale beach The house is very well maintained and much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Paul the owner was very easy to work with during the booking process and made himself available throughout our stay. Ridgevale beach is a great beach especially having the estuary for younger children to play in. We hope to return next year.

Location is INCREDIBLE!! Great for families!
Loved this house. It was exactly what we needed and wanted. It is much bigger than it looks. Quiet neighborhood and is centrally located, making everything very easy to get to. We Stayed the week of July fourth and experienced Americana at its best! The fourth of July parade, oldest in the country, was AWESOME! That night, the kids were tired and we decided to walk down the hill to the beach in lieu of going to fireworks in near by town. We were happy to see that the local families put on quite a show of fireworks and the 8 and 9 year old kids were happy as clams! Parents were to, since we didn't have to drive anywhere!! I chose this house because the kitchen is nice and upgraded,, bathrooms were nice and it has CENTRAl AIR! We had last minute family come for visit, so we gave mom in law and two Aunties the upstairs bedrooms and hubby and I were in bedroom downstairs with two kiddos in separate basement room that was just fine. Nothing fancy downstairs but great for purpose. Owner, Paul, was very patient with us, as I inadvertently thought check out was 11a.m. and it was actually 10 a.m. Chatham is THE place. Close to cool drive in theatre, water boats, kyak rentals, sailboats, etc. Have to say BRAX restaurant, few miles down the road has great food. Looks like a dive on the outside but has lovely ocean view with great inside and outside dinning. Flowers everywhere...and best lobster roll EVAH!!!! Take a quick drive to chrming Harwhich Port and visit Dr. Gravitie's Kite shop. Closer to home, go to Very cool ice cream shop in a converted Old school house close by. My only regret about the trip was that we had to leave. Great memories in your home, thanks again, Paul!!! Deb and Gregg.

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot
We just returned from a wonderful week on the Cape (4 adults) and were all very pleased with the house and the accommodations as well as its location, close to the beach (walking distance), cycling path, and Chatham. The house was very clean, charming and well laid out with comfortable seating in a very light and open family room area, dining room and living room, the beds are very comfortable and we used the grill a fair bit. The owner was very responsive. Schoolhouse ice cream down the road is a must. Nice spot for cyclists. Ridgevale beach has lots of kids and relatively calm waters - great for young families.

Very Comfortable and Very Clean-Great location
We have rented this house more than 10 times and each time we come back we like it even more. The owner is very responsive and is always adding and update. This year it was new LED recessed lights in the Family Room. The beach is at the end of the street and the bike trail is less than a mile away. Plans are to return again next year.

We've spent many summers at this property with family and friends. First, the house is in great condition and the layout is perfect for multi-family or multi-generational rentals. Bedrooms are secluded from common areas so Adults can stay up without worrying about keeping kids awake. Works the same way in the morning if kids get up earlier than adults. The location is a convenient walk to an extremely kid friendly beach (Ridgevale) or the bike paths which can take you to downtown Chatham, or out to the main Cape Rail Trail in Harwich. Chatham is a 5 minute car drive and is a joy of the Cape if you are trying to avoid the more hectic pace of the towns closer to the canal. We've gone most years since 2003 and plan on returning in the future. The owners are very helpful planning your trip and addressing any issue that may arise during your stay (we have few trivial problems).

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It is clean, conveniently located to both beach and town, and the owner was very pleasant to deal with. There was plenty of space for our family of four -- in fact, we could have easily fit another 4-5 people downstairs, where there is a second queen bedroom/full bath and 3 twin beds. The washer/dryer are new and clean, and the kitchen is in good condition. Overall, we were very pleased and would definitely return to this house.

A very nice property in a quiet neighborhood. Ridgevale beach is just a short walk away, and is a beautiful beach on Nantucket sound. The water is warm and the waves are kid friendly. Great bird watching for adults and lots of things for kids to see too. The house is well maintained with internet acess, HD TV, AC on the main floor and a gas grill in the backyard. Lots of room and seating for many visitors. Pet friendly-the dog had no complaints.
A very short drive to Chatam downtown and easy acesss to everything on the Cape.

Stayed for one week at the end of September with my visiting parents from Ireland, myself, my wife and our young son. The location was excellent, the entire cape is very accessible from this advantage point. There is a nice beach at the end of this quiet street, ideal for families with young children or people looking for a bit of a get away. My parents wanted a room with accessible bath, which is provided on the ground level. Downstairs there was ample room for everyone else with a separate bath. We could have easily had 4 or 5 more people staying without taking from the comfortable surroundings. The yard has plenty of space and a grill which we used a couple of times. Literally bring your linens and towels and your off on a great vacation.
