Cape Springs Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Overlooking the saltwater inlet of Bucks Creek Marsh, this stunning waterfront home affords the quintessential Cape Cod experience. An easy walk, Harding’s Beach promises a fun-filled day of swimming, volleyball, and beach bocce (a local specialty). There is even a water route to Ridgevale Beach via kayak or rowboat. To watch the day’s catch come in, drive to Chatham Pier Fish Market (open seasonally).

This stylish home boasts 3,136 square feet of luxurious living space. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and intriguing artwork create a sophisticated style, while large windows provide incredible views throughout the home. Spend quality time together in the cozy den with charming rustic-chic decor and plenty of comfortable seating. Unwind on the leather sofa and watch a movie on the 54” TV, or use the telescope to check out the stars. A welcoming sunroom provides an additional social area. Greet the morning with a cup of coffee at the breakfast table. Sharpen your culinary skills in the impressive chef’s kitchen with two stainless steel Wolf ovens, three sinks, and a five-burner gas range. While dinner simmers, concoct a drink at the wet bar with a wine fridge, then perch at the kitchen island with seats for guests. When it’s time to eat, gather at the dining table for meals with a view.

Enjoy leisurely afternoons saltwater fishing off the private dock, or spend the day on the water in one of the three kayaks or two rowboats provided. As evening falls, rinse off in the outdoor shower and relax with a cold beverage on the 60' mahogany deck. Then fire up the grill and dine amid breathtaking views as the sun sets over the water.

Beautiful location

Beautiful views from house over salt inlet/pond with wildlife at low tide and kayaking at high tide. House was clean and very comfortable. There is a lot of room to spread out and enjoy the views but still be together as a family. Near Harding’s Beach. Wonderful vacation and very pleasant stay.

Beautiful house in great location

Lovely house, with lots of space and a very large kitchen. Best part, as others have written, is the location overlooking a beautiful estuary. Very close to a nice beach as well.

Amazing place to stay with world class views

We've rented this house for many many years and we love it. The owner (Joe) takes great care of the property and is always available in case of any issues. The open floor plan is amazing and the ability to be in the kitchen while having an incredible view of sunsets on the water is truly unique. We've spent many a night as a family eating outside on the deck as the sun goes down and created some great memories. Would highly recommend this property!!!

What a GREAT HOUSE !!!

We loved the location of the house and the view this property commands. nothing short of breathtaking. This house also resembled like the ones we grew up, and immediately we felt like we were home. Kids loved fishing crabs and other creatures on the property and beach was very close by as well. We met Joe (the owner of the house) on the last day, and he told us you could catch stripe bass during June and July right on the property. We loved every minute of our vacation and cant wait to go back.

Family vacation

We have rented several houses in the area over the years and this is the best place we've ever stayed in. It is clean, the kitchen has everything you need for cooking a family dinner, the furniture is comfortable and nothing is broken. The view from the house is amazing and the neighborhood is quiet. We were able to paddle board off the dock in the evenings and enjoy sunsets on the back deck. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful even during a Nor'Easter

We arrived at night during the recent late Sept. storm for a long weekend getaway on Cape Cod. The beauty of the location wasn't apparent until the next morning, and despite the howling winds and rain, it was stunning! The marsh was filled with water birds of all kinds and the view from the large windows lent a feeling of being in a house boat! The appliances and furnishings were upscale and we appreciated the many seating areas for eating, lounging and watching tv. The Wifi worked great! Our stay in the house was very comfortable but being seniors, we had to watch our step because of the dozens of different sized area rugs and runners protecting the home's beautiful wood floors. As mentioned in a previous review, the mattresses are very firm, so plan to bring some toppers if this will be an issue. To sum up, we think this is a wonderful property for families and groups vacationing on the Cape and we hope to return, minus the bad weather!

Fabulous location!

My husband and I spent three wonderful days at this home. The downstairs is extraordinary! So much glass looking out over an ever changing estuary, large kitchen, many indoor comfortable places to set and veg. And outdoors as well. The deck has plenty of chairs and I kayaked numerous time all around the estuary and to the near-by beach. The bird watching was great! My only complaints are around the bedding, not great linens and even worse pillows, but as we traveled by car, we brought our own pillows. The upstairs lay out of bedrooms is a bit odd, but as this visit was just for my husband and I, we were quite content. I would absolutely recommend this home (just bring your own pillows and eye shades).

Not Impressed

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We would not stay here again. The property has not been maintained. The lawn had not been mowed in weeks, the dock is a safety hazard and the deck had a bunch of nails sticking out of it. The management company also did a terrible job of stocking the house. Not one beach town, no dishwasher or laundry detergent, etc. Also the blinds in two of the rooms do not block the sun at all and you wake up with the sunrise. We bought and taped up dark curtains. We were very disappointed.

Marsh view

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Waking up each morning as the birds arrived to work the marsh was like watching a ballet. Took a walk on the dock only to see a 24 inch Stripped Bass meandering by looking for bait. Great place to enjoy the Chatham.

Great location and wildlife; awesome kitchen

There is a lot to like about this property: if you are a wildlife enthusiast, you will be super happy with this house. As noted, it is located on a pond, and there is an abundance of wildlife. As the tide ebbs and flows, you can observe the natural rhythm of the environment. My wife and I spent hours sitting on the deck watching the amazing wildlife. There were only 2 of us, so we had more than enough room in this expansive house. The kitchen is outstanding and is at gourmet chef level. The sitting areas on the main level are comfy, with large windows on all sides of the house so that you can enjoy the amazing views of the pond. I must say that the towels provided are skimpy--there was only one kitchen dish towel, so we had to use towels that were intended for bathroom use. Since there were only 2 of us, it wasn't a problem to use the small hand/face towels that were intended for the bathroom in the kitchen. We also thought that the quality of the towels and bed linen was lackluster. We are not looking for super premium quality towels or bed linen, but it is worth noting that the covering on the two queen beds is a thin sub-quality blanket. The comforters on the three twin beds is of better quality. Note that the mattresses on the queen beds is super firm! If you like beds with super hard mattresses, then you will be psyched. However, if you prefer a tad more supple to your mattress, then it will be a challenge. Interacting with the management company (Vacasa) was not as great as dealing directly with an owner. I have stayed in many properties around the world where I have interacted directly with the owner, and the experience has been excellent because the owner knows the house and truly cares that you have a good experience. In this instance, my dealings with Vacasa were not consistently good. They addressed an issue I had with the dishwasher, but did not address another issue. Overall however, I had a good week at the property. Would likely stay somewhere else though the next time I return to the Cape.

Beautiful View Beautiful Home

We were 6 adult family members vacationing together. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable time; cozy but at the same time plenty of space! The back deck has a lovely view of the inlet. Watching the tide come in and go out afforded us a display of bird life on the water and sandbars.

Fabulous View

This is a terrific property in a lovely part of Chatham. It is located on a tidal river and the view changes hourly. It is walkable to the beach. The house features a very well equipped kitchen., comfortable furniture and beds. The one quirky aspect of the house is the “Jack and Jill” bathroom that connects the two queen size bedrooms. Need to share with very good friends or family.

Lovely Cape Escape for our Family

This property was absolutely perfect for our family, as we wanted to enjoy quiet time by the water plus close proximity to downtown restaurants & shopping. Home is set back on an inlet/marsh in a small neighborhood. The views from the back deck and rear windows provide gorgeous views of the water and wildlife; perfect for drinking coffee or enjoying sunsets as the tide comes in and out throughout the day. Home was immaculate and well-stocked with the basics. Our only regret was that we didn't book the trip for a longer stay!

Incredible views

The house is lovely and open with plenty of space for a family. The kitchen is amazing and had everything we needed in order to cook at home. The views are incredible albeit the foggy mornings. We had lots of fun checking out the wildlife thanks to the binoculars! The location is perfect - very quiet neighborhood and a short walk to the beach (saving us having to get a pass) Would rent again.

Nice house, great location, great views

This house is located in a very nice neighborhood. First thing you notice when u walk into the house is the open layout with great views of the marsh. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. Just a few squibbles. We couldn't find kitchen shears, the house should be stocked with more essentials, especially toilet paper and laundry detergent. Some of the lights were not functioning in upstairs bathroom and laundry room. At this price point, the TV's in the house should be equipped with basic cable. Otherwise the house was great and we would definitely rent again.
