About this house rental
You will love Rhododendron House -- a recently updated 2 bedroom vacation house. This private hilltop retreat is located 3/10 miles from one of Chatham's most popular family beaches, Hardings Beach. The short walk saves you $20 a day in beach parking fees! Newly painted inside and out, the house comes fully equipped with beach chairs/coolers, grill, bikes, two kayaks, outdoor shower and washer/dryer. Recent renovations include new Master Bedroom with King Size Bed, entirely new kitchen and patio deck. Main Street in Chatham is less than 3 miles from the house and has outstanding shops, restaurants, art galleries, parks, band concerts, baseball games and a library that has summer programs for the whole family. Come enjoy a comfortable stay in Chatham and fall in love with our wonderful town on the elbow of the Cape.

8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Perfect setup for a small family beach vacation. The walk to beautiful Harding’s Beach was even shorter than anticipated - and several bikes were available to make it even shorter. Beach accessories all provided and in good working condition. As for the house - new kitchen appliances were great, beds were comfortable, air conditioning in both rooms - and the deck was a great place to spend time in morning and evening. Best of all, Dave was a fantastic host - kind, generous, very communicative. Would come back in a heartbeat!
