Old Cape Cod Charm in Chatham MA, 1/4 mile Walking Distance to Hardings Beach

Great location, quaint cottage that was the perfect size for our family. The patio needed a good sweeping and cleaning. There was also an issue with lighting so we had to buy light bulbs to make sure there was sufficient lighting in the kitchen dining area and screened in porch. But overall, a good family trip.

It was a wonderful time and a wonderful Cottage. The owners have always been very responsive and wonderful to work with looking forward to hopefully going back next year for two more weeks.

We stayed for 8 nights and the last five were unexpectedly hot and very humid. The house was not air conditioned but there were plenty of fans to circulate the air. It is an older Cape home and could use an overall « refresh » of slipcovers, some window screens need replacing for tears and other things in general, but it is very spacious and location to the beach can’t be beat! Would stay again.

The house was more dated than the pictures show. The wall paper looks as if it had been there for 20+ years and peeling off the walls and water stains on the ceilings. One burner on the stove doesn’t work. We opened a cabinet door in the living room to see if there were board games because it was raining and it was full of cob webs. The gutters were full of pines needles. Not at all warm and welcoming. Contacting the owner was difficult. I messaged with some questions and after 5 days of no response I messaged her again and finally got a response but didn’t answer all my questions. Had an electrical issue and there were papers on the fridge with contact numbers for rental agency and all the rules/ house info, so we called that number because it took so long for her to get back to us through the app (which is the only contact info she gave). They informed us that they sold the house years ago and luckily were able to provide us with her phone number. She was very prompt with resolving the electrical issue but overall communication was not good. Very short 8 minute walk to a nice beach and short driving distance to other towns to find things to do because other than the beach, there wasn’t a lot to do right there.
