Chatham Village: Large, Newly-Renovated 1 Bedroom Apartment in Antique Home

** We've just completed a major renovation of Ship's Light! Having stood the test of time for almost 200 years, the house now has a new foundation, upgraded systems and a modified floor plan. We've worked had to maintain the character and charm of the antique home, while bringing it up to modern standards. We can't wait for renters to experience the results for the 2025 summer season and beyond!

The Lillian Spohn apartment is the most changed as a result of the renovation. While the prior apartment had low ceilings, a 1/2 bath inside and an outdoor shower, the renovated apartment has full-height ceilings, a full bath, a large bedroom, an open kitchen/dining room/living room and a large screened in porch. The apartment is fully airconditioned and heated via solar-powered heat pumps. Check out the new photos, but note that reviews prior to July 2025 are of the old apartment.**

Ship’s Light has looked down Cross Street to Chatham Village Center for almost 200 years. Built and occupied by some of Chatham’s most eminent residents since 1825, it was converted to four housekeeping apartments for summer visitors circa 1945. Lovingly restored by long-time current owners, this gracious antique home offers modern comfort and convenience with the character and charm of a bygone era.

The 'Lillian Spohn' apartment is on the 2nd floor and is newly-renovated in 2025. It has a new modern kitchen with full-sized appliances; an inside eating area that accommodates 2 - 4 people; a large screened in porch with a comfortable seating area and table and chairs for 4; a large living room with smart-TV; a large bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed and stackable washer/dryer; and a full bath with tub/shower. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house. A side yard and gas grills are also available for renters. The house is equipped with two Level 2 EV chargers for use by renters.

Centrally located within a short walking distance of excellent Chatham dining, shopping, movies and band concerts, the house is three blocks from the town salt water beach on Oyster Pond, and one mile from Coast Guard Beach, a great stretch of Atlantic Ocean and dunes. Many individuals, couples and extended families consider Ship’s Light their vacation home. We invite you to join them in making your vacation something special.

The Lillian Spohn apartment at Ship’s Light is rented for longer stays during the summer and a 2-night minimum during the shoulder and off-seasons. Other units with unique features are also available and the whole house can be rented as a 5 bedroom home for family gatherings.

This is an excellent choice for staying close to downtown Chatham! The one bedroom had more than enough room and the sunroom was such a nice bonus. The owner was very responsive with a quick question we had before checking in. I would recommend this stay for anyone wanting to stay in a charming location close to the center!

A great time at Ship's Light

We had a wonderful time in the apartment and loved the neighborhood in Chatham. We have stayed on the Cape for over four decades of summers and this was the first time we stayed in Chatham. wonderful location and the accomodations were cozy and comfortable. We very much hope to be back again next year.

Great vacation and EVEN BETTER house

We loved our stay at Ship’s Light! We were in the Lillian Spohn apartment and it was SO cute! Everything was provided for us, towels, blankets, sheets, coffee filters, soap… so much that we didn’t even use 1/4 of it. The bed was very comfortable and lots of extra pillows and blankets. I read a bunch of the reviews before hand about the outdoor shower so we knew that was what we were using while there. We had ZERO issues with the shower, very clean, the water got nice and hot the whole time, there were plenty of shelves to put things on and even a seat! I saw someone mention there was no place for all the shower items so I brought a little shower caddy (like in college) but there was no need for it because they left one in there for us to use. We cooked dinner and breakfast and the kitchen had all the pots and pans we could need. The AC kept the apartment nice and cool and they even had a bunch of fans set up and more in the closet if you need it. My husband was obsessed with the relaxing blue chair in the kitchen, it was his favorite spot to sit and drink his coffee in the morning, and hang out in after we returned from the beach for the day. We had a question about something and Allison was super quick to answer us (within minutes of me sending her a message). The house is blocks away from the main strip in Chatham, and it’s about a 9 minute drive from Harding’s Beach. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and plan on making it a yearly trip to stay at Ship’s Light.

Awesome location

The price for the location is wonderful. The place is a little worn and a little musty. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The bathroom is in the kitchen (with the shower outside) The outside shower was small, with no place to put clothes, but robes are provided and the water was hot super fast. I'd call it above average but not awesome.

Great location

Walking distance to Main St. Chatham. Walking distance to two beaches (pond / ocean). Lillian Spohn apartment was great. Just be careful if you are on the taller side. You might hit your head on the door jambs inside. A/C unit in kitchen and fans in every room. Very comfortable inside!

Everything exceeded our expectations. Descriptions of the property and the apartment were spot on. Location was perfect - walking distance to Chatham Main Street with restaurants, shopping and Chatham windmill. Oyster Pond beach is nearby and walkable, small but perfect for building sand castles and swimming.

So Near Downtown Chatham!

The location is excellent. An older apartment , not fancy but has charm and suited our needs. Was not sure about the outdoor shower but worked out, had a campy feel. We didn't spend a lot of Time on this visit in Chatham but a great preview for future visits.

Perfect place for us!

My two friends and I needed a place to stay for a weekend trip and this was perfect for us. Definitely cozy; we were very comfortable as three petite able-bodied women, but those that are very tall or mobility impaired would probably not be so comfortable as you need to go up stairs to enter and the ceilings are low (with roof lines). A+ location, it's on a quiet side street right off the main strip of Chatham so we could walk to everything in town. It was very clean and well stocked- it had everything we needed. The TV is an old tube TV, so if you plan to watch movies/TV before bed or something I'd suggest bringing a laptop/tablet. Overall it was excellent, I would totally stay here again and recommend it to others.

Very convenient place

Place was less than a block from Chatham town center, but still quiet. I like to run in the mornings, and there were several small roads around where I could easily get a decent workout in. We generally don't stay inside much when we travel so we didn't spend a lot of time in the place, but it definitely met our needs, especially with 2 kids (less than 10 years old). If you're tall, watch your head when you go to the bedroom.

Lovely location

We love Cape Cod. Chatham is a beautiful town, and the location was perfect for walking to both downtown and the Oyster Pond. I didn’t give it a 5 star, as I left a vm on the first night, and never got a call back from the owners. The cottage was neat, nothing extreme, small, but cozy. I don’t think it is disinfected after each use, as it requires you to clean yourself after stay. Thank you for having us.

Great location!

Just steps away from the Main Street shops and restaurants. Also, Chatham is so central to the Cape, we made lots of day trips. The apartment was very cozy and had what we needed. A couple of suggestions and this is only because we had down time due to weather, upgraded satellite TV and a listing guide of what channels you get would have been nice ( took a lot of searching and very limited channel selection). Also, the couch is not very comfy to sit on for a long period of time. Other than that, we had a wonderful visit and hope to return!

Great location

This is a great location for exploring the area on foot. It was roomier than I expected also, with a living room and a kitchen separated by the bedroom with a double and a twin bed. I would have preferred an indoor shower, but my husband didn’t mind and my son liked it. The kitchen was equipped well enough to prepare many meals at home. I was glad that we were able to stay here the entire time of my husband’s work rather than the Saturday to Saturday that many Cape rentals require. We had a good time walking and exploring the area!
