2022 sq. ft. Only 6/10 mile to family favorite warm water Ridgevale Beach on Nantucket Sound, our custom home is located on a private cul-de-sac in a quiet residential area near the South and West Chatham line. Our area is comprised exclusively of private single-family homes with paved roads and underground telephone, cable, and electric lines. It overlooks Cockle Creek and the tidal salt marsh inlet of Nantucket Sound that flows between Ridgevale Beach and Hardings Beach. Ridgevale Beach is adjacent and connected to Cockle Cove Beach.
Day-light lower level provides a second comfortable sitting or TV viewing area, an open activity area for games, ping pong, air hockey, or bumper pool, and access to a patio area with a hot shower. We provide an outdoor propane gas grill (with a spare tank).
Separate enclosed laundry area is equipped with a large capacity washer and dryer, drying racks, iron, and ironing board. We supply laundry detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. Lines for fresh air drying are located under the deck.
The layout of the house is very comfortable. Two full bathrooms (tub with shower) and three bedrooms are located on the main floor of the home. The master bedroom with a king bed is located at the rear of the house with an adjoining master bath. Two guest bedrooms (one with X-Long twin beds, and one with twin beds) are located at the front of the house. The main bathroom is located off the central hall near the guest bedrooms.

Two (2) low steps from the main entrance to the main level of the home. Step directly from the dining area onto an expansive two-level mahogany deck. Wide gradual steps lead from the main deck to the lower deck and then onto the private yard or to a patio area under the main deck.
Our home is situated with a Southern view overlooking Cockle Creek and the tidal saltmarsh inlet from Nantucket Sound between Ridgevale and Hardings Beaches. Cockle Creek winds through the tidal saltmarsh to Nantucket Sound. Since the water depth is tidal, we recommend a kayak or canoe be launched from the inlet at Ridgevale Beach. There are several websites for local area boat rentals.
Our home is located less than 1 mi. from the bicycle trail, 3 mi. to Main Street, Chatham Center, and 0.6 mi. to Ridgevale Beach.
Ridgevale Beach is adjacent to but separated from Hardings Beach by an inlet to Cockle Creek and is adjacent to Cockle Cove Beach. We are 2.3 mi. drive to Hardings Beach. A Parking pass for all Chatham beaches may be purchased at Ridgevale Beach.

Craig P.Vacation home away from home
The very responsive owner offered an exceptionally clean, quiet and well-appointed home in a great location near beach and town alike. The view of the salt marsh is a great way to greet the day. We loved it!

"Craig,We appreciate your time to provide a thoughtful review of our Chatham home. We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay.Kathleen"
Jill T.Comfortable, clean, house near the beach
The house was exactly as described in the listing. Impeccably clean when we arrived. The hosts conveniently provided all of the information we ever would have needed to find or use anything in the house. Quiet neighborhood, great view of the marsh from the deck. Though we drove to the beach, it was walkable. It was very hot and humid when we were there, and we appreciated the air conditioning (window units) in the house.

Lynn S.Lovely Chatham Home
This lovely Chatham home ticked all the boxes for what we were looking for when vacationing on Cape Cod - located in a quiet neighborhood with a scenic backyard, walking distance to the beach, close to restaurants, shopping, and places to visit. The homeowners were gracious hosts that were easily accessible by email, text, or phone. Information was left in notebooks that answered all questions we might have. The home was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. This 3-bedroom (including king sized bed, often difficult to find in rental homes), 2-bathroom home gave us plenty of space during our stay. The back deck offered views of Cockle Cove Creek/salt marsh and our favorite blue heron during low tide. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found this home to spend a week in on the Cape. Highly recommend!
