Great communication with our owner/host. Aside from the property exceeding our expectations, my wife commented at how well appointed the house was with amenities - and it certainly was! Beautiful home, well-maintained, and those VIEWS! We sincerely hope to return someday!
Our stay was lovely. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. The home is beautiful and beautifully situated. The decor is extremely tasteful and the lighting is perfect -- making the home as warm and inviting at night as it is during the day. All in all -- a wonderful experience!
** Spectacular home with Amazing views and beach **
Our family had an unforgettable stay at this stunning, incredibly well cared for home in the beautiful neighborhood of North Chatham. Location cannot be beat - close to downtown but in the quiet and privacy of a beachfront home. Our favorite VRBO rental by a landslide.
Our repeat stay was everything we were looking forward to. Picturesque location and awesome host; I'm sure we will be back.

Welcome back anytime we have openings!
It’s a very special place….do not miss the early sunrises or so the Milky Way on moonless nights.

The beach, views from the house, and all the amenities are perfect! We stayed at this house quite a few years ago and loved it then, and it's just as lovely if not more so, now. We can't wait to return!

Jodi,
Thanks so much for another great review. We are always upgrading the home and try to keep it well stocked, as we use it ourselves. We have several new Dining/ Living room pieces and will be remodeling the upstairs and refinishing all floors fully over the Winter of 2020.
Hope to see you again,
Greg andEllen
This is a house with quintessential Cape Cod charm and a location that can’t be beat! Greg was very responsive to a few small questions. Easy access to Chatham with restaurants and shopping - if you can tear yourself away from the view! My family (including our teenagers) will remember our stay here for a long time to come!
This property was very beautiful ! The house itself was perfectly decorated, so clean and cozy, stocked with all the essentials. Gorgeous views of the beach from all the windows. It was soo relaxing and beautiful that it was very hard to leave.
The house was aesthetically very pleasing, clean and well decorated. Well equipped kitchen, and we really appreciated all the binoculars! Gorgeous incredible views from all the rooms, and delightful walks along the beach and other beaches and woods in Chatham.
This is a lovely property - the reality exceeds even the great pictures online. We found all aspects of the home well equipped, and greatly enjoyed the beach-front location, with opportunities to read a book in the porch swing, kayak on the harbor and on and on and on.
You can easily stay here all week. This property has everything you need to chill and relax! You can swim, sun bathe, kayak, paddle board and wine and dine while looking at a beautiful ocean the whole time.
We have now stayed at this property for several weeks in multiple years. It is consistently a perfect cape cod get away. Perfect weather with nice sea breezes, wetlands with birds and other interesting animals, and immediate access to the beach with uninterrupted views. Chatham is a great place to settle into as well - very well manicured and uncrowded, with all services needed in the immediate vicinity.
The house was beyond our expectations in terms of cleanliness, decor, location, amenities, and support from the owner. The private beach was lovely in April, and we can only imagine what it would be like in the summer months. It's perfect for a smaller family; our boys (11 and 14) loved exploring the beach daily. You won't regret booking this location if you have the chance. Greg (the owner) was available to answer questions and offer ideas for sightseeing, making us feel right at home. We hope we'll find the time to book another stay at this Chatham gem!
Sweeping views of the water from
every room. Well appointed and we loved the use of the kayaks and SUPs. Scenery can’t be beat! The only thing I would say is that if you’re planning on swimming in the salt ponds- they are very shallow and muddy. The surrounding neighborhood was great for walks and very close to town by car. We enjoyed our stay!

We are on Chatham Harbor with Ocean waves at high tide with a wide beach. Enjoy our 5 white poly Adirondack chairs at the Harbor edge.
Spring/ extra high tides fill our 1/2 acre salt pond out front, making it the perfect kiddy pool or practice pond for kayaks, SUP's. It has a sandy edge on the South side but is shallow water 8" to 4' especially in later Summer. As a former marsh, it has an organic soil bottom in other areas away from the sandy beach and harbor waves/ South side. The Striper fishing on inbound tides, just off our beach is legendary.
A lovely, well-equipped house, in quiet location, enjoying fabulous views and close to the beautiful town of Chatham as well as affording direct access to a spectacular beach. The host was very helpful, prompt and courteous, especially with restaurant, museum and shopping recommendations, very useful as we had some mixed weather. The online description matched reality as the house was spacious (three good size bedrooms) and in tip-top condition. Furnishings were comfortable and complemented by lots of original artwork. Good bathrooms with lots of hot water. Well-equipped kitchen and brand new (huge) Samsung TV. We were delighted by our stay.
We have been vacationing in Chatham for 23 years and come twice a year. We added this property for a winter celebration and it is every bit a five star experience unless there is the possibility of adding stars! The view is pure bliss...every day, all day. The home has absolutely everything you could need, inside and out. All the reviews are true...sunrises, birding, beach walking or just sitting and looking out the window. This is the place. Can't wait to come back!
A perfect home to spend our week of vacation with friends. Comfy beds, sheets, pillows, couches and chairs. Two master suites were great. Kitchen has EVERYTHING you need except food and drinks. Great location near all the best towns. Beautiful view and great walking on beach or around neighborhood.
We saw a coywolf across the street! As well as bunnies, turkeys, seals and lots of birds.
Highly recommended.
This property is "as advertised". The view here is commanding to say the least - beautiful views right on the beach from 3 sides. Hard to get any better honestly.
The house itself is also good. Three functional bedrooms with three full baths - perfect for extended family, grown children, etc. It is a bit unique in being "upside down" with bedrooms on the 1st level, but we got used to this.
Beyond the view, perhaps the best part is the area. Chatham is probably the most picturesque/upscale town on the cape. Walking in the area is uncluttered, well landscaped, upscale houses and business, and generally just pleasant peace and quiet. Stores are very close including an upscale grocery store, CVS, and all sorts of unique and delicious restaurants.
Recommend booking with confidence.
Another wonderful November week at this gem of a home in Chatham. The home is so well appointed and so comfortable for our family of 4. The setting is five star- beachfront, and waking up to all the ducks and different water birds was a highlight. This was our second time renting this home and we hope there is a third in our future.!
The views from this house are spectacular! Pictures cannot do this properly justice. The house itself is immaculate and is very well stocked with all of your needs. The owner Gregory has been an amazing host and always quick to respond with any questions. Treat yourself, for you will not be dissappointed.😀
You can’t do better than this perfect property and host. Waterfront, outstanding everything

About the host
Hosted by Gregory Johnson, Ellen Johnson
We are water & activity people. We love North Chatham: It is like "Nantucket without the Ferry ride." Once here, you are by the sea and of the sea--the presence of the beach surrounds you. Water sports and family fun top it off-- a gathering place loved by all who come to this property. Amazing views all day long and stars bright at night. We have been improving this property since moving in in 1994 and just fully remodeled the whole house in 2020 . We long ago spent Summers at beaches from the Jersey Shore, CT, LI, to Adirondack lakes.... Chatham tops them all. The tides are a constant and changing feature. Three Tide clocks helps you plan the day by the sea. Book a seal tour or fishing charter or tennis clinics at the CBI tennis hut. Simply walk the delightful downtown for a fantastic shopping experience.
Why they chose this property
Unique views and beach with surf sounds and kid friendly warm salt creek. Our upside down design affords long sea and harbor, and our salt pond views. A classic Cape Cat-walk takes you to our large beach, chairs, kayaks, SUP. New 2021: New full "second Master Bathroom ensuite" and new laundry room. Sorry, our strict limit is 5 guests max. 3 cars max. overnight. Strictly enforced. Blink security cameras monitor outside entrances only. Guest/ Car limits strictly enforced. Be sure 5 guest limit, 3 cars overnight. Be sure we are a "FIT" for you.
What makes this property unique
One of a kind! Stunning ocean, surf, harbor, sea, shorebirds , seals, views year round include outer beach incl. National Seashore-2 precarious cottages remaining... So many fun activities on premises or just steps away... You can be on the beach, relaxing, reading, fishing, or swimming long before the island ferries depart..or before you would have unloaded your car at a public beach. We are a quiet family home with similar neighbors. Please respect their right to quiet enjoyments we expect and do. That is the reason for our policy and strict limit of 5 guests and 3 overnight cars.
