Visit Chatham this winter—nominated one of Hallmark Channel’s merriest towns!

This completely renovated and newly painted home is located on a private road and just a few minutes walk away from all that the exclusive yet family friendly seaside village of Chatham has to offer: shops and galleries for every taste, excellent dining, movies, homemade fudge, white sandy beaches, seal sighting & sunset tours of Monomoy Island Wildlife Refuge, Chatham A's baseball, Friday night band concerts at the Chatham Band Stand, and the commercial fishing fleet unloading the day's catch.

Our family friendly house features a newly furnished large first floor complete with a spacious great room, quiet living room, pristine dining room for 8, a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, and two fabulous bedrooms -- one with bunk beds. Hardwood floors and ceiling fans throughout. New ceramic tiled and renovated bathrooms, too. The kitchen also has granite counters for the chef of the family and a high chair, toddler seat, glider rocker, and fun plastic dinnerware for the kids. Our great room and living room, with two 6 foot sofas, three chairs and a half, (one a twin sleeper), and an extensive library for all ages, make wonderful spaces to entertain and enjoy a book, movie or board game with a nice fire. The second floor includes two additional lovely and large bedrooms with more ceiling fans, and plenty of storage.

For the chef that prefers to show their grilling skills, there is a large furnished deck that is equipped with a gas grill. Comfortably and casually furnished, the house includes a stereo, 2 televisions, 2 DVD players, wireless internet, and a VCR with a large children's video collection. Linens and towels will be provided. There is ample off street parking, as well.

This home is great for active families who are looking for a fun place to vacation. The 1/3 acre yard provides plenty of room to frolic, play games, send a frisbee soaring, try a little volleyball or badminton (ball and rackets provided), and watch the local wild bunnies. You'll also hear the birds and peepers from the abutting wetlands!

The Old Colony Bike path is within 1/2 mile. Recreation nearby includes: yoga, beachcombing, biking, sailing, running, boating, swimming, seal and whale watching, wind surfing, kite surfing, golfing, go carts, trampolines, birdwatching and world class fresh and saltwater game fishing!! Plenty of local theatre groups, too.

There's even tennis and a playground for the littlest members of the family within a few blocks of our fabulous home. It's an easy walk into town, the Chatham A's games, and Oyster Pond, too.

Chatham, often known as ''the elbow'' to Cape Cod (referring to its cornermost location where Nantucket Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean) offers both swimming in Nantucket Sound (calmer waters, some with tidal pools-great for young children) and the Atlantic Ocean. There are beaches right in Chatham where you can watch real seals in the open water and on the beach every day. You can even enjoy yoga each morning under the seals' watchful eyes.

Chatham also participates in the premier summer Cape Cod Baseball league with its hometown team ''The Chatham Anglers'' where many college players hope to be scouted. (World Series winners Buster Posey and Tim Lincecum both played here.) The ''A's'' also offer great half day baseball camps for $75-$90 fee per week.

People of all ages will love swimming or watching the sailboats cruise into the sunset over Oyster Pond on Nantucket Sound (walking distance). A brief 5 minute car trip (or 2 mile bike ride) will bring you to Lighthouse Beach, Hardings Beach and Ridgevale Beach, and numerous small ponds. Within a 20-30 minute car drive you will find the Cape Cod National Seashore, the Kettle ponds of Nickerson State Park, whalewatching and drive in movies in Wellfleet and the uniqueness of Provincetown.

Required upon booking: Additional security deposit of $500 and cleaning fee of $300. show less
