You'll also have easy access to the famous Chatham Lighthouse, a popular landmark that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and coastline. And if you're looking to get out and explore the rest of Cape Cod, Chatham is centrally located, making it a great home base for day trips.

Overall, choosing a Chatham vacation rental means you'll be able to make the most of your vacation, no matter what your plans may be.

All of the Amenities You Need

One of the biggest benefits of renting a vacation rental in Chatham, Cape Cod is having access to all the comforts of home. Unlike hotels, vacation rentals are equipped with full kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and bathrooms, and often come with amenities like laundry facilities, outdoor spaces, and entertainment systems. This means you can enjoy all the conveniences of home while on vacation.

Vacation Rental Home Kitchen in Chatham

With a full kitchen, you can prepare your own meals, saving money on dining out and giving you the flexibility to eat when and where you want. It's also perfect for families with picky eaters or dietary restrictions, as you can tailor meals to suit everyone's needs. You can even cook up some fresh seafood from the local markets and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal with a view of the ocean.

Having more space in a vacation rental also means everyone can spread out and have their own room to relax and unwind. Kids can have their own space to play, while adults can have some peace and quiet to read or catch up on work. Plus, with multiple bathrooms, there won't be any fights over who gets to use the shower first.

Vacation rentals also often come with entertainment options like TVs, DVDs, and board games, perfect for rainy days or nights in. And with laundry facilities, you can pack less and have access to fresh clothes whenever you need them.

Spacious Rentals

When it comes to planning a family vacation, finding accommodations that offer ample space can be a real challenge. Hotels and resorts may offer some extra amenities, but the room layouts and square footage often leave a lot to be desired. This is where vacation rentals in Chatham, Cape Cod, really shine.

With a Chatham vacation rental, you can choose a property that has enough bedrooms and bathrooms for your entire group, plus common areas where you can all gather and spend time together. You'll have a living room for lounging, a dining room for meals, and perhaps even a game room or outdoor patio for even more space to spread out.

Chatham vacation rentals come in all shapes and sizes, from cozy cottages to sprawling beach houses. So, no matter the size of your group, you can find a rental that offers enough space for everyone. Plus, many vacation rentals also offer added amenities such as outdoor grills and so much more.

Comfort and Relaxation

What our guests are saying

Sorry to AirBNB, but I'm a Del Mar convert now. The house was gorgeous, the bed was THE most comfortable bed I've encountered in a rental, and the Del Mar team went above and beyond to fix a leak in the ceiling. I'm excited to explore the rest of the cape, and I just might have to book direct with Del Mar next year!

Perfect location very close to the bike trail and downtown Chatham. Clean, quiet, and well appointed, we've booked it for next year. Del Mar was pleasant to interact with and very responsive. A great vacation rental experience.

The cutest little spot, and so perfect for a long weekend (or week) in Chatham. This house had everything we needed, was very clean, was a perfect size for our family of 4 (and dog!), and was in a great spot (short drive to town, on a quiet street). We would 100% recommend it, and would 100% stay here again!
