Chatham-Short Walk to Beach!
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Chatham
I will never forget my first trip to the Cape when I was 10 years old.. the ocean, the sky, the beaches... it is another world. As a teenager, I had the opportunity to come for a couple of weeks for multiple summers as a babysitter for a lovely family. When I was in college, I found work on the Cape and spent many summers there. I have traveled a lot and lived in other countries, but Cape Cod is the "home in my heart." Although we have owned our Chatham Retreat for over 13 years, my heart still flutters over the fact that we have a house so close to a beach on Nantucket Sound. I think of this on every short walk to, and on, "our" beach, I never tire of this wonderful experience! And I enjoy going to the Cape every season of the year!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Short walk to beach and great views!! Sitting in the backyard and listening to the ocean breeze in the trees...and the assortment of bird songs and calls. Lying on the chase lounge under a sky full of stars...and hearing the ocean when the breeze carries its sound. Quintessential Cape Cod cottage feel with present day amenities. Short walk to tennis court that seems like our own, surrounded with pines and scrub oaks. Short walk to the Box Office Cafe... the neighborhood hub. Passing smiling people on the quiet streets - enjoying the beauty of the neighborhood. Along with finding beautiful shells...we also enjoy collecting heart shaped rocks on Forest Beach!
Breath taking views of Nantucket Sound-75 acre conservation area that rolls out to the sand dunes and water.
Easy walk, you will feel like it is your own private court. Also has basketball hoop and climbing wall.
Local neighborhood hub, get your coffee, news, sandwich, ice cream...check out their movies and use Wireless
One of the smallest libraries in New England with up to date selection of books.
Public Bus will you bring all over the Cape...Chatham, Orleans, Provincetown, Hyannis...
Very popular- ride to downtown Chatham, Harwich, or from Dennis to Wellfleet!
Take a visit back in time! And buy a calendar or something while you are there!

I have stayed at the Chatham Retreat at least 3 times. The location is fantastic...close to the beach, great neighborhoods to take long walks and close to drive into downtown Chatham...The house is so cozy and comfortably holds 5 people. The backyard has a nice patio to sit and read...and it is great for birdwatching!!! I highly recommend Chatham for a weeks vacation or a long weekend...

Maraide, We just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to stay at the Chatham Retreat for our first family vacation. The house is very cozy and the area is absolutely beautiful. Having Forest Beach right there was great especially since the kids are so young. Seeing the smiles on our kids faces was priceless. We look forward to coming back and exploring all that Chatham has to offer. Thank you again for helping us make some memories that will last a lifetime. God bless!! Sincerely, Lisa, Jason, Justin (5), Jaelyn (2), Hailey (11mths)

(A comment from a family that has come every summer since 2001)Another wonderful vacation at the Chatham Retreat! This place is great for us to enjoy a week away with the comforts of home. Close to the beach, close to town, easy to get to… We spent most of our time on Forest Beach. Our usual journeys took us to watch the fishing boats at the pier, playing at the playgrounds, and shopping for penny candy. Thanks again for sharing your place with us!

I felt immediately comfortable here. The wonderful living room light helped me focused on writing not rambling. It felt like my own secret beach that I shared. Two weeks is never enough but I tried to breathe in enough sea air to pack my cells till I return.

A wonderful introduction to Cape Cod. The tranquility of the area, the comfort of your home made this stay a real treasure. The opportunity of an open fire plus outside shower were great!

What a comfortable and lovely home! we were completely satisfied with how sweet, cozy and clean every thing was. My children, age 2 and 4.5 had a great time walking the neighborhood and enjoying the beach which is a small walk away. Heaven's Hill was Heavenly! will definitely seek out the Retreat again!!

Chatham Retreat- Perfectly Named

Review Submitted: 01/20/09
Our visit to Chatham Retreat this year was as wonderful as in years past. We pull in the driveway and the cottage is perfectly nestled in some pine trees and allows privacy also. Walking inside always gives one a feeling of peace and serenity. I loved the way it was decorated from the first time that we came and still do, Cape Cod , for sure, but in a delicate way. Thank heaven we are here in one of our most favorite places to go to to get away from it all. Usually we cook in and have a special evening .Everything is provided to prepare a nice meal, also a beautiful patio and BBQue outside. We walked to Forest Beach and had a great view of the conservation area also as we walked. Chatham Beach is nearby- an absolutely gorgeous beach that changes everytime we come. The blue water and white caps against is is so pretty and the pools of water that have formed just add to the beauty. We drive back at night to watch as the light from Chatham Light shines on the dark water- it is hard to explain the feeling of stress melting , and of safety that such a light can give. We always go downtown Chatham as it is being decorated for the holidays- so old fashioned with beautiful shops and great people. Some nights we drive to different nearby beaches to catch a sunset or sit with a warm drink before retiring for the evening. Our special dinner out is at The Impudent Oyster downtown - good food at a great price.There are eating places for everyone, and we noted this year, a nice coffee shop not far from the home itself. This was our fourth year here and we look forward to a fifth-always sad to leave, but also, always much more relaxed and ready to get back to the real world!.

We had a great vacation at your cottage. Although due to the weather, it wasn't the vacation we wanted, for me it was the vacation we needed. I managed to read 2 (!!) books... In your description of the cottage and its surroundings, you did not exaggerate in any way: It's as peaceful, beautiful and serenity-inducing (for lack of a better term) as you say. Although in the 3 afternoons when the weather was OK we took the kids to the wide, Coast Guard beaches, they both told me that their favorite was Forest Beach, because the waves were smaller and because you could find both lucky stones and shells. Thank you very much for a much needed serene and relaxing vacation!
