HIgh Speed Comcast Internet , cable pkg, new Samsung smart TV w soundbar.
Kid friendly and unforgettable for all. 4 kayaks, 2 SUPS, ( normal rental retail each, saves $400+/week), and Boogie Boards under house along with plenty of beach toys, chairs. Just 180' private Catwalk steps to our Private huge sandy beach-- shared quietly with just 2 other neighbors. (Note: Beaches in Mass. are Private Property down to low-water, except for fishing, fowling, and navigating, considered to be strolling, but not sitting.)
Max. guest and visitor total on beach or in home 5; Sorry, we are not a beach party house.
Guest Limit 5 and Car limit 3. Strictly enforced. No street parking.
Please enjoy, wade, SUP in our tidal pond. Our 5 white poly adirondack chairs define our semi-private shared beach area along with kayak racks. (Please do not use neighbor's chairs.)
In Massachusetts: most beaches are PRIVATE, yet anyone can "'Fish, Fowl, or Navigate' or stroll by along Mass. private shorefronts- by Colonial historic (1642) ordinances--but not sit, linger, play or picnic. Most beach fronts are private/semi-private, except for marked Town Beaches. We also have 2 lovely town beaches a short walk away that add variety and different views: Scatteree Beach and Cotchpinicut.

We keep a beautiful home by strict limits on numbers- and we hope you will understand. Pets no longer accepted, sorry.
We are not a Party house but a quiet memorable Cape Experience home. 5 Adult limit, 3 cars absolute max. overnight.
Note: with the National Seashore/Outer Beach breaks opening wider, and higher Chatham Harbor tides, our beach is much much larger, but so are the high tide waves and currents. Our new year round "Cat Walk"/boardwalk was just built up. Guests can also walk around the South side on conservation land to the beach, or kayak /SUP in the shallow salt pond to cross.

Bring your cameras and video recorders.... you will never forget staying in this warm and cozy home! Serene North Chatham offers all the Cape's best! The water and our beach will entertain you and the Outer Beach/National Seashore surf is heard on all but West winds.... You can hear the fish jumping at night in the nearby saltwater pond adjacent the home...the Milky Way and stars at night are breathtaking. Kids love netting minnows and crabbing in the warm pond waters on the property and all the beach toys are available in the 'basement.'
Bring your bikes or rent them in town. Shed avail. to lock them up in front yard.
The home is well loved, durable and the kitchen is well equipped. Try the best outside shower ever.

TOWN AMENITIES: Town has 10 plus free tennis courts, and 6 dedicated Pickle Ball courts.

Whale watching is avail. from Provincetown as are oodles of art galleries and restaurants.....in Chatham and elsewhere! Our end of North Chatham has been likened to "Nantucket--without the Ferry ride."

We owe our neighbors equal quiet beach enjoyment.

Great second stay

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.

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.

Gorgeous property in enchanting Cape Cod setting

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.

Views that delight

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!

Magic

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.

Commanding view

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.

Perfection in Chatham

This was a perfect house for our family’s first visit to Chatham. The house was gorgeous - just as listed, if not better, and was stocked with everything you could need (from kitchen supplies, to linens, to beach towels and more). The location was perfect - literally on the beach and close to town. We could even walk to a coffee shop (a 20 minute walk but through lovely neighborhoods). No issues or complaints. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Gregory Johnson, Ellen Johnson

Host profile image
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.
