Each town and village that makes up the landscape of Cape Cod offers its own vibe and personality and today, we at New England Vacation Rentals, are going to shine the spotlight on Chatham. One of the earliest settled communities, it was founded 44 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed and today is famed for its historical architecture, pristine beaches, and the stunning Chatham Lighthouse, a structure that has guarded the harbor of town since 1808. Also known for its communities of classic New England style cottages, many of our Chatham vacation rental homes can be found here, offering travelers an authentic Cape Cod experience, providing all the comforts of home, and giving guests a soft place to land after a long day of Chatham adventures.

Although every village and town on Cape Cod offers charm and beauty, there is something about Chatham that stands out. Maybe it is its quaint Main Street, dotted with historic structures and looking much the same way it has for centuries, while still managing to offer modern day amenities and adventures. Maybe it is the family friendly atmosphere, featuring restaurants that welcome children, shops that don’t look in askance when you walk in with your toddler, and of course, beaches that make you want to spend the day building sandcastles and frolicking in the surf. Or possibly, it is the realization that you are walking in the footsteps of some of our nation’s greatest revolutionary heroes and if you listen closely, you can still hear the echoes of their voices demanding freedom from the tyranny of King George III. Chatham has many sides and even as you explore all the towns on Cape Cod, beginning and ending every day in Chatham will bring you adventures you will never forget.
Chatham is one of Cape Cod’s most popular towns and as such, finding parking outside restaurants and shops may be a bit difficult, but because you chose New England Vacation Rentals for your accommodations, you can choose Chatham vacation rentals within walking distance of beaches and shops and leave your rental car in the garage or parking lot of home. We are also very protective of our wildlife and visitors can expect to witness all manner of wildlife, especially while hiking along the trails of the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, so if you happen to be a little creature shy, you may want to take this in account when you choose the town you want to stay in.
It can be difficult finding activities that all ages will enjoy, but in Chatham, it is almost like it was born to be a family friendly vacation destination. The historical sites, including the Chatham Lighthouse and the Godfrey Windmill, will fascinate history buffs while still providing an interesting attraction for those who prefer more modern adventures. The Chatham Railroad Museum is sure to bring joy to both young and old and we dare you to try and pass on by the Chatham Candy Manor, a local shop where candy is king and your children are faithful servants to their reign. Unique shops like Ducks in the Window, offering a huge selection of rubber ducks in all sizes and styles will ensure that the souvenirs you bring home will be much appreciated by their recipients. And the natural charms of the Monomoy National Wildlife Reserve will bring new appreciation for Mother Nature’s most vulnerable creatures and for the beauty of the Chatham landscape that harbors each creature safely and peacefully.
The restaurants of Chatham are destined to haunt your dreams in the best of ways, providing, as you would hope, the freshest and sweetest seafood in the state. The Impudent Oyster is where all special occasions should be celebrated while Mac’s Chatham Fish & Lobster offers an authentic peek into the culinary life of Cape Cod natives. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and starting your day at the Captain’s Table will bring you a hearty and classic meal that will give you the energy for whatever activities you choose to do for the rest of the day.
Filled with light and warmth, each of the Chatham vacation rental homes we offer will embrace you and your family, providing all the comforts you crave and a host of luxury amenities that will enhance your Cape Cod getaway. Crystal-clear swimming pools in some, beach views in others, firepits, hot tubs, barbecue grills, kayaks; it may just be quicker to tell you what these properties DON’T offer!
