Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious, private cottage just a few minutes walk to Ridgevale Beach!

Summer living less than a 1/2 mile from one of Cape Cod's best beaches! This home offers room to spread out, with living and sun rooms, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths across 1,250 square feet. The wraparound deck is the perfect place to share a meal after a day spent exploring the beaches, bike paths, and shopping areas of Chatham. Cathedral ceilings in sunroom and master. Sleeps 6 very comfortably. Enjoy a private setting just off the main beach road, nestled on a low-traffic loop street with conservation land behind the home.

The home's amenities include keyless smart lock entry, central air conditioning, 55-inch ultra HD TV with YouTube or fubo TV, and a desk and chair setup in the master bedroom. Freshly-laundered bed linens, bath and kitchen towels are provided.

Outside, you'll find Adirondacks on the front-yard patio, private outdoor shower with rainfall head, and table seating for 6 on the back deck with Sunbrella umbrella and Weber gas grill.

In the shed, you'll find a beach cart, four beach chairs, and various beach toys for your use. Bikes are not provided but can be stored in the shed (1 minute bike ride to the beach!).

The home has a Nest video doorbell at the entryway and a Google Home display device inside the home for your use. WiFi was upgraded in late 2023.

Recent updates include new roof, new windows throughout the original cottage; new quartz countertop, sink and tile in the kitchen, and renovated bathrooms. Book soon!

Cape Summer Break
We had a wonderful stay. We haven't spent time on the Cape since my oldest was a toddler in 2016. The house was very comfortable and well appointed. We appreciate all the beach stuff and not having to bring our own. Being able to walk to the beach with 2 kids was perfect. Would love to come back!

July 4th Vacation
We stayed in this Chatham home for a week with our daughter and her partner. We gave them the very large master bedroom suite with king bed, large closet, private bathroom and laundry area. They felt very spoiled and loved their private space. We appreciated the generous amount of towels, kitchen items and blankets/sheets. This home was extremely clean upon arrival. My husband really enjoyed the outside shower.

Comfy cottage
We just spent one week at the cottage this Summer and had a wonderful family time here. The house is very clean and well equipped with towels, sheets, beach umbrella and chairs. The deck and backyard provides a nice place for kids to run around and for family bbq/dinner time. The neighborhood is quite private and quiet. Very easy walk to the beach. Easy communication with the owner. Beth and Chris left very detailed instructions and even included a thoughtful list of local restaurants/activities. My parents and young kids all loved our time here. Would love to come back next Summer!

Family week at the Cape
My family and I had a wonderful late summer week at the Private Cottage at Ridgevale Beach - Chatham. The house was perfect for the 6 of us with plenty of space to accommodate some work days. The house was meticulously clean and well equipped for a week or longer stay. Chris was great to work with and very responsive. Will stay again in future.

Lovely little house
We came to Chatham in October for a soccer tournament and were so lucky to find this place! It's impeccably clean, cute, stylishly decorated and well equipped. It had all the things we might need, towels, paper products, laundry detergent and a well stocked kitchen. Quiet neighborhood and while we weren't here during summer we did take a walk down the beach which was easy to access. It was perfect for our family of four.

We had a very pleasant stay and close proximety to everything and the beach.
Thank you Beth for your hospitality and the house and property were lovely and well equipped with everything we could need. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed ourselves and it was a nice tranquil neighborhood. The cleanliness of the home was wonderful and we took pride in returning it to hopefully the same and be respectful of the property. We love Chatham and will return, the two young cousins we had stay with us could only stay two days but loved the fishing and did not want to leave. Thank you Lorraine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The location and proximity to Ridgevale Beach was superb. Beth ensures that all the comforts of home are available to guests. Everything was clean, beds comfortable and there was a lovely welcome basket when we walked in! It truly felt like a home away from home!

Wonderful home
Clean, great furnishings, very open and lots of natural light. We enjoyed our week vacation at the Cape and this was a great home to relax in…walking distance to a great beach, well-stocked with linens, towels, cooking supplies, blankets, etc. The owner really makes it easy. Would stay here again for sure!!

Great Home, Great Beach, Great Owner
My family and I just returned from a week at this lovely home. First off, location to Ridgevale beach is amazing (5 mins or less walk) - Ridgevale is one of the best beaches on the Cape and is particularly great for kids. Secondly, the home is adorable, clean and all the appliances are new. There is a great deck, outdoor shower and nice yard. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with a combination of residents and renters. Lastly, the owners are fantastic. They are very organized, thoughtful and prompt with communication. My family and I have stayed at many rental properties and these owners are some of the best we've worked with. If you are looking for a wonderful home, with wonderful owners next to one of the best beaches, this is the home for you!!

Almost like being at home
Welcoming! The inside of the house was light and bright. All of the accoutrements were there (paper towels, napkins, paper plates, Toilet paper, etc.) when arrived. A folder with all kinds of directions with it into the house and local restaurants was also present.
