'Excellent Location!! Nice beach outside your door, shallow cove, no seals/sharks. House not fancy, which works well for the Cape. Has everything you need though...'

'Great location right on Nantucket Sound. Upstairs you'd think you were on a boat; the water's THAT close. Lovely and very well equipped cottage. Kitchen was recently and tastefully redone. Beautifully situated would definitely stay here again!'

'Amazing house and stay! The house, the view...the online listing simply can't do it justice. Amazing stay in September this year, and it could not have been better. Hoping for many future visits. The property is as close to the water as can be, and the covered porch made for an amazing spot to enjoy meals with a view even when a stray shower or two came through. Beautiful beach literally steps away, with amazing long walks at low tide in both directions. The interior of the house was even nicer than expected, with everything you could need to have an amazing stay. Clean as a whistle, and well thought-out layout. Would highly recommend. As a bonus with this year's weirdness, the snack bar at Ridgevale was open later in the season on weekends...a quick walk to a great take-out lunch for the beach. Rental process was easy and the folks at Chatham Vacation Rentals couldn't have been nicer or more responsive. '

'We have stayed in this house 3 times now and each time we have been amazed at how well the owners maintain the house and property. The house is literally on the ocean with beaches on either side. Easy distance to downtown Chatham for restaurants and shopping but far enough to avoid crowds. We look forward to our next visit!'

'It may take you a few days to really appreciate the beauty of the location of this home, but rest assured by Day 3 after watching the sea bass popping on the water while you're enjoying morning coffee, you will. We were literally walking out in the water and picking up the freshest oysters you can find, and having them for dinner (yes, we got our license!). We're locals, and good friends with the owners; I was appreciative of the location being on the water, but Cockle Cove in and of itself is a literal estuary of wildlife and beauty. We would sit on the sea wall at night with a spotlight and watch squid swimming, you can almost walk across the cove to Monomoy at low tide (its only about 2-3 feet at low tide, so great for swimming during high tide!). House is a 10 out of 10; simple, not over-done, just enough, and very comfortable. Great grilling area, outdoor shower, and lawn for kiddos to play in. My friend brought his kids over, and it was a riot watching them see horseshoe crabs for the first time on the beach. I can't recommend a stay here enough; come ready to decompress, and enjoy time with your family in a perfect location. Don't feel like cooking? You're less than 5 minutes from some fantastic food (check out Drifters, Pates, or Chatham Cut). Could not have had a better stay; thanks to the Rieth family for an incredible week! '

'our 4th year at this fabulous beach house, how is it possible it just gets better and better? After over 35 years of renting in Chatham, we have found our forever beach rental. Not only is the beach front location perfection, the house is beautifully appointed, perfect for family gathering, pristine and fully supplied. Any and all issues have been promptly and efficiently resolved. Thank you for a magical week .'
