Cape Cod Rental/Chatham good area?
 

For my parent's 50th anniversary in 2000, we'd like to rent a place on the water to accommodate 10. Would Chatham be a good place to look into? We'd like to find a centralized location where we can enjoy the town and beach and also do day trips (such as take the ferry to Nantucket, etc.). <BR>Any suggestions much appreciated! Thanks!

Chatham is a lovely choice. Orleans is excellent too! :) Very quaint. <BR>

Yarmouth would put you closer to Hyannis, which is Cape Cod's center. Everywhere is nice on Cape Cod. Youe even what to consider Onset or Falmouth. Get a map and think of places you want to go to. Keep in mind that Rte 28 is Bumper to bumper in the summer. <BR>

<BR>I like the Chatham/Orleans post given what you seek. Welfleet is very nice also, but less centrally located (unless you favor more seclusion).

Diane, <BR> <BR>Chatham and Brewster are lovely, but tend to be quieter and more expensive than Yarmouth, Harwich, and Dennis. I find the latter towns are the places I gravitate to most often - to shop, dine, beach and especially to stay (rental prices are much better). The former are pretty to drive through! <BR> <BR>Wellfleet and Orleans are nice, too, but more remote. Hyannis and Falmouth are probably the most popular options for town/beach.

Thanks for the info!
