We enjoyed our stay at this residence. It was very clean and had good space. We never felt cramped. We enjoyed the ease of getting to town and putting our canoe in the water

Another great year!

We stay in this house every summer - it’s been so many summers in a row that I have lost count! It’s the perfect house and perfect location for us. Steps from the water (and a view of it), close to town, and Karen is the best - super friendly and responsive. Already booked again for next year! If you are looking for a comfortable and cozy place with a glimpse of the water and the convenience of being close to town, this is your place!

Even better than description

An awesome house on a great property. The access to the private beach is what I was excited about and it exceeded all expectations. So much so that we barely went to other beaches and it was a quick walk to jump in the water and refresh. Great part of town too. Will try to come back next year!

A real home by the sea (and an easy choice to come back!)

This was our third year returning to Karen’s house, and we were delighted to fit in a stay again this summer. Unlike too many vacation rentals, Karen’s house feels authentic and personal, in a beautiful setting a short walk from a small beach. The biking, kayaking, beaches, and food are all big highlights for us around Chatham, and Karen’s house is a wonderful home base for each, including a full garage for our bikes and a convenient spot to keep kayaks near the water. Thank you Karen!

Fantastic place to stay! Great location. Many accommodations in the house, and everything is decorated beautifully. The added features, such as the private beach and games and toys, make the house even more excellent. The host is very responsive and helpful. Our whole family loves it.

Priceless private beach

The house was a great fit for our family of five! The house is cozy and comfortable. The bedrooms are a great size! Our kids loved having the upstairs to themselves! The location is wonderful with easy access to everything in Chatham and beaches and the short walk to the private beach with beautiful views was priceless! The only drawback for us was the outdoor deck which was not desirable! We would have loved to have a place to sit outside to enjoy our morning coffee, have dinner or sit and relax but the deck is overgrown with vines and the furniture is rusty, worn and uninviting. Otherwise, we felt very at home there.

Perfect Location and Great for a Family or 2 Couples

This house is in a wonderful location of Chatham, a short walk to the harbor for beautiful morning/afternoon walks. A great neighborhood to run or walk around and you can bike to town or to the beaches, light house, fish pier, bike path, etc. The house is very comfortable - large master bedroom, well appointed kitchen, comfortable living room - all nicely maintained. The owner is responsive and easy to communicate with. The few things to know are: the house is extremely close to the main house on the property, so not much privacy if the other people are around, the basement humidifier runs constantly and can be heard in the master bedroom all night, you need to bring all linens, bath towels, kitchen towels and we needed to buy paper towels and sponges for the kitchen. The Chatham Village Market is very close and a good place to shop. We would actually give it a 4.5, but since we can't, we'll go for the 5 stars since we had such a nice time there!

A gem!

We spent a week in this amazing vacation rental. It is a lovely and VERY spacious cottage. It is very comfortable, beautifully decorated, so much attention to detail! It was the perfect place for our family of four. The upstairs bedroom is huge and allows for a very separate living space--perfect for teenagers or a couple. There is a loft feel to the place and the living room is so spacious and bright that you almost want to stay in the house and enjoy the peace and quiet of the very nice neighborhood. It has a lovely balcony where one can enjoy a morning breakfast and the afternoon sunlight. They are not exaggerating when they say the kitchen is fully equipped. It also has a basement with washer and dryer which was very convenient when you are coming from the beach every day. The private beach is very small but very close. I walked with my 4-year old daughter to the beach in the morning. Very easy access. The recommendations of the owners about where to dine and where to go were terrific. We followed all of them, we recommend you do the same. Chatham is a great place to stay -- not only because it is a beautiful town - but also there is a lot to do in the surrounding towns. We rent houses and apartments in all the vacations that we go and we can say this was the best rental we have ever stayed at. We can tell you that it made our vacation at the Cape better than we could have ever had imagined.

Off-season Rocks

We spent two weeks here after Labor Day. Chatham was still pretty busy. The cottage put us in an area that was great for walking and easy drive to most all Cape activities. Plenty of room and we’ll equipped. The few issues we had were quickly resolved.

Return to Chatham

The house was nicely appointed and had a water view, with short, pleasant walk to the beach. Karen was very accommodating and quickly responded to my questions. Very clean. We had a week that wasn’t too hot. I think the downstairs would have been very uncomfortable if we’d had hot weather. An AC unit in the living room would be a good idea.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Roach

Host profile image
Our family has had a summer home in Chatham since my grandfather bought a vacation home here back in the 50's - before Route 6 existed! We built our home in 2006 and love to come relax and get away at the house. A morning or sunset walk on the beach, dinner at The Impudent Oyster, a visit to the Wellfleet Flea Market - all are great activities we enjoy when we are at the house. We can provide lots of recommendations for other things to do and places to explore on the Cape.

Why they chose this property

Our home is on family land owned since the 50's...

What makes this property unique

The quiet relaxing feel of this corner of town, the nice loop to walk / run and the quick walk to the beach to watch the boats bobbing at their moorings and the sailboats zigzagging across the harbor.
