We had a wonderful week at this property. We stay for a week at the cape every year and always pick properties with high ratings for cleanliness and this was the cleanest of them all! It was perfect for 4 adults & 2 kids. The kitchen was well equipped and well organized. Because the property was so great we didn’t need to contact the host during our stay however he was highly responsive to questions I had ahead of time leading up to check in. We walked to the beach multiple times but to visit the beach for the day it still made sense to buy a beach pass and drive since it would be too far to walk with all our beach gear. The outdoor shower was one of the nicer ones we have used and made rinsing off post-beach easy and relaxing! The washer and dryer seemed brand new and it was nice to do laundry without having to go into a basement. We had fun reading & writing in the guest book at the end of our trip and we were sad to leave!

Family week at the Cape

My family and I had a wonderful late summer week at the Private Cottage at Ridgevale Beach - Chatham. The house was perfect for the 6 of us with plenty of space to accommodate some work days. The house was meticulously clean and well equipped for a week or longer stay. Chris was great to work with and very responsive. Will stay again in future.

Comfy cottage

We just spent one week at the cottage this Summer and had a wonderful family time here. The house is very clean and well equipped with towels, sheets, beach umbrella and chairs. The deck and backyard provides a nice place for kids to run around and for family bbq/dinner time. The neighborhood is quite private and quiet. Very easy walk to the beach. Easy communication with the owner. Beth and Chris left very detailed instructions and even included a thoughtful list of local restaurants/activities. My parents and young kids all loved our time here. Would love to come back next Summer!

Cape Summer Break

We had a wonderful stay. We haven't spent time on the Cape since my oldest was a toddler in 2016. The house was very comfortable and well appointed. We appreciate all the beach stuff and not having to bring our own. Being able to walk to the beach with 2 kids was perfect. Would love to come back!

July 4th Vacation

We stayed in this Chatham home for a week with our daughter and her partner. We gave them the very large master bedroom suite with king bed, large closet, private bathroom and laundry area. They felt very spoiled and loved their private space. We appreciated the generous amount of towels, kitchen items and blankets/sheets. This home was extremely clean upon arrival. My husband really enjoyed the outside shower.

Lovely little house

We came to Chatham in October for a soccer tournament and were so lucky to find this place! It's impeccably clean, cute, stylishly decorated and well equipped. It had all the things we might need, towels, paper products, laundry detergent and a well stocked kitchen. Quiet neighborhood and while we weren't here during summer we did take a walk down the beach which was easy to access. It was perfect for our family of four.

Thank you Beth for your hospitality and the house and property were lovely and well equipped with everything we could need. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed ourselves and it was a nice tranquil neighborhood. The cleanliness of the home was wonderful and we took pride in returning it to hopefully the same and be respectful of the property. We love Chatham and will return, the two young cousins we had stay with us could only stay two days but loved the fishing and did not want to leave. Thank you Lorraine
