The quintessential Cape cod experience. This house is in the most desirable location in the most desirable town on the Cape. It is a short and easy walk to Main St. but tucked away in a private, quiet cul-de-sac; a lovely beach is literally about two minutes away on foot. Perhaps best of all, it has a truly spectacular view: a broad expanse of water and beach, with sand bars and more water beyond. Not to mention the vast sky and the best birdwatching you could ask for. While there is plenty to do in and around Chatham, you just may find yourself just staying home and drinking in the view for hours at a time, in a state of complete relaxation.
The house itself is very comfortable and very well equipped, old-fashioned and charming in an authentically Cape Cod kind of way. The sunroom on the first floor is all doors and windows, all of which can be opened to let in the wonderful sea breeze and plenty of sunshine. And you couldn’t ask for a better spot to watch the sunrise, coffee in hand, or the sunset, champagne or cocktail in hand, than the roof deck, with its commanding view. There is good TV and audio equipment, including a TV in the master bedroom as well as a big one on the sunporch, if that’s your thing. The flagstone patio is spacious and attractive, with comfortable seating for 12, and a good working grill. Comfortable mattresses on the beds are another plus.
All of this said, if you are looking for a fancy kind of place, with a granite- counter-topped kitchen and subway-tiled state-of-the-art shower stalls, this is probably not the place for you. The kitchen and both bathrooms are very clean and very functional, but simple and old-fashioned. Charming, to those of us who like such things, but not high-end luxury. In short, this is more of an outdoor wooden shower stall (what a treat!) kind of place than a gold-plated Jacuzzi kind of place.
Chuck is an ideal host and a pleasure to work with. Very good about communication, flexible where possible, and unfailingly courteous. A particularly important plus for us was the fact that he takes COVID precautions very seriously, which allowed us to feel safe in an uncertain time. The professional cleaners not only clean, but disinfect, and when we arrived, every door and window in the place was wide open, so that air was circulating all through the house (a very good idea for COVID safety).
Highest possible marks for this place and the truly satisfying, memorable experience we had there. We intend
