Beautiful, private 3-bedroom near ocean beach; gorgeous views; internet access

We just completed a nine-night stay and loved every minute of it. We were 6 adults and 1 toddler, three generations. My parents began renting in the Cape each summer when my sister and I were infants, and we've picked up the tradition again in recent years as adults with husbands and my niece added to the mix.
We found this house to be bright, clean, spacious and convenient to the beach and the town of Chatham. It doesn't have a typical "beach cottage" feel that some may seek, but is instead a home suitable to all seasons, but with amenities and a location that still make it beach-friendly. Hardings Beach is beautiful, and the walk is quite reasonable, but we found it made sense to buy one weekly car pass (only $60) to ship down chairs, coolers, baby gear, etc., while most of us walked. The bedroom layout fit all of us comfortably and with a good amount of privacy and quiet to put the baby to bed or to sleep in. The garage was very convenient for storing our bikes and beach chairs. We ate breakfast on the deck nearly every morning, and sat out while grilling dinner most evenings. The sun porch makes a nice, breezy space to sit and read or just enjoy the view.
An added bonus was the ability to bring our two dogs with us, which we prefer to do rather than board them when we can. The stipulation that they be crated or left in the basement when unattended was entirely reasonable and gives both tenants and owner greater confidence that nothing will be damaged or soiled. The basement is clean, dry and safe - we just brought their dog beds and water dish down for them. The property owner was always responsive and helpful with questions we had in advance. All in all a wonderful spot for a family vacation.

Just a note about this true "cape cod home". Our family from NY
joined us for this week-long vacation. We had a wonderful time! Our
daughter-in-law, from upstate NY really enjoyed her first visit to Cape
Cod and loved the coziness of the house. The walk to the beach is a bit long, but was great exercise for walkers. Hardings Beach is always
wonderful. The new deck is both attractive and comfortable; the new
windows on the enclosed porch made that space the perfect spot
in the house, overlooking the marsh while enjoying morning coffee.
The wi-fi connection kept all of us in contact when necessary
Our granddaughter throughly enjoyed herself. The raised hearth
made a perfect home for her American Girl doll and furniture. The
comfy couch provided a perfect reading spot for her, as well.
Although we rented during the "heat-humidity wave", (which accounted for excessive dampness) there were plenty
of fans and air-conditioning. The washer and dryer were such a
terrific amenity, as well as the outdoor shower. Bathrooms were
clean and tidy. The kitchen was bright and utilitarian with dishwasher, not to mention the gas grill which was used often.
Thank you for sharing your house with us.
Life-long Cape Cod renters

My family recently spent the week of the 4th of July at this house with another family (totaling 4 adults and 4 young children) and this house was a perfect fit!! The house was very clean and more than spacious enough for all of us. It ended up being a relatively hot week, however we were very comfortable in the air conditioned bedrooms. The deck on the back of the house overlooking the tidal inlet is absolutely amazing. It is also worth noting that the owner of this property is very good at getting back to emails regarding any questions or concerns you might have. He also called during our stay to inquire if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this vacation house.
