Wonderful winter weekend in Chatham!
We absolutely loved our stay at John's place! The home looks exactly like the pictures and it was pristine when we arrived. The check-in process was incredibly smooth and John was extremely accommodating for us to check in both early and depart late. His welcome guide for the home came in handy multiple times - especially his recommendation for linen rentals (we would also highly recommend Cape Cod Linen Rentals - David was fantastic!). The home had all of the amenities we needed and it was a great place for two families with small children to stay. It's very close to a number of beaches, which were great for some winter walks, and not too far from Chatham's downtown. We also loved that we were able to bring our dog for the weekend. We truly had zero complaints or concerns about our stay - one of the most pleasant home rental experiences our group has had. We will definitely be back!

Thank you Jamie. You were a wonderful guest. We would love to host you again anytime. I had given you 5 stars in all the categories and there seemed to have been a glitch in the VRBO system and only 4 stars appeared in a single category. I've contacted VRBO twice to explain the issue and both times they refused to fix the problem. The only suggestion they had was to remove the 4 stars all together. This really bothered my because you are such a great considerate person. Please know that you deserve a full 5 star rating and I will continue to reach out to VRBO. Their system has had several glitches in the past few months and this seems to be that latest. All the best... John

The property is in a very nice neighborhood - a quiet and private area. Walkable to the beach. It was in excellent condition and clean. The recent remodeling/updating is fantastic.

Great Spot for Family Vacation!
We had a fantastic family vacation with grandparents, our 2-year old child, and our mini goldendoodle! The house is in a beautiful neighborhood in South Chatham - quiet, private, and a short 0.6 mile walk (or drive) to the beach. The beach is long and great for walking on and for finding sea shells. Chatham downtown (restaurants, shops, etc) is only about a 10-12 minute drive. The house itself is very clean and in great condition and many of the spaces appear to be newly updated. This is a perfect family space with multiple sitting rooms and communal areas. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were comfortable. John (the owner) is really on top of everything, and made sure we had everything we needed! There are also lots of bikes available in the garage. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!

I loved the Cape Escape! My friends and I thought the home was even more beautiful than the photographs - sunny interior with room to spend time together and little nooks for "me time" also. Beds were very comfortable and the home was spotless. My only regret is that I am not there now. Location is perfect in a quiet neighborhood and easy driving distance to beach or main street. The beach is also an easy bike ride away and very private. John and Ruth are terrific hosts. I would go back in a heartbeat. If you have kids, definitely check out the natural history museum - it's only 7 miles away and worth the trip.

This home has an amazing balance of elegance and that welcoming "homie" feeling to it. Its a great size for two couples and kids. Location was great since you can get to a few different parts of the Cape fairly easily. Biking to the beach was a highlight of the trip. The patio was the perfect spot to wind down at night. John was an amazing host who made sure we had everything we needed before and during the trip. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great owner!
John, the owner, was excellent about communicating with us in a timely fashion and doing whatever he could to improve our visit. We had people ages 5-50 staying in the home. Even though we were rained out the entire weekend and could not enjoy most of the outdoor amenities he had available (i.e. grill, back porch, beach equipment), our entire group enjoyed the leisurely 4 minute bike ride to the private beach. There were so many bikes provided, including a bicycle built for 2, with which we had fun. The home is in a very quiet cul-de-sac so there were no cars zooming by. We felt comfortable with our kids playing outside. Our only suggestion would be to provide linens and incidentals (shampoo, bath soap, replacement paper towels, etc). For short term vacation rentals where one is hoping to pack lightly, sheets and towels for 10 people and incidentals took up 2 suitcases worth of room for us. It was extremely difficult to place sheets on the highest of the bunk beds which was much higher than a standard top bunk. However our boys enjoyed this bunk bed room and it was great for the kids.

Wonderful spring vacation on the Cape!
Our party of 6 (3 adults, 3 children ages 8, 8, and 12) and our pup had a fantastic time at Cape Escape for our April school vacation week! The house was perfectly sized for our group, with a wonderful deck for reading in the sun. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the dining table served as a perfect spot for puzzles and card games. Kids LOVED the bunk room! The neighborhood was quiet and Forest Beach was just a short walk away. The tennis courts/playground near Judy’s Lane were also a big hit, as were the bikes in the garage. Downtown Chatham was only ten minutes’ drive from the house and we enjoyed a few short trips to the charming shops. All in all, a relaxing, fun, and perfect break from life!

Perfect Property
My wife, two teenage kids and I spent a long Columbus Day weekend at this wonderful property. The location was great. It was a short drive to downtown Chatham, and a number of other nice cape towns. It was a short walk, or really short bike ride down to beautiful and walkable Forest Beach. The house feels like home the moment you walk in the door. Arriving at the property was super easy. The house is immaculately clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. John was an excellent host, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Next time we're in the Chatham area, I won't have to bother looking for another property to stay in, because this one was perfect for me and my family...Thanks John!

Everything you need
Our family had a lovely week staying in Chatham. Hospitality was quite spectacular- from the time we booked our reservation through the end of our stay. The host checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and communicated clearly about house rules and how to use appliances. The house was beautiful, located on a quiet street about a 10 minute walk from the beach, 3/4 of a mile from a bike and running path, and in close proximity to many other beaches and places to visit on the Cape. The beach chairs, toys, and bikes available to us were perfect. It was a great vacation.

Cape Escape outside of Chatham
The home was perfectly sized and laid out for a family of 5 (including 8, 12, and 14 year olds). We greatly appreciated the incredibly well-stocked kitchen, the abundance of bikes and boogie boards, and quiet cul-de-sac. We also greatly appreciated the opportunity to bring our little dog. The home is within walking distance of a tennis court, bike trails, and beach. While the beach was too calm for our kids, it might be great for a family with little ones. If I could change, it would be the outdoor shower which is open. Therefore, we enjoyed the master bedroom shower which has a cool beach motif including the floor. The owner was excellent at communicating throughout.

Cape Cod Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at John & Ruby's home in August, 2019. It's a peaceful respite at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac away from the hectic summer Cape crowds, beautifully maintained yet convenient both to drive to Chatham, or to walk to the spotless local beach, less than a half mile walk away. John was there to greet us and show us the home, and was available by phone literally 24/7 to quickly respond to all our needs. We especially loved both the gorgeous master bath shower and the outdoor shower, which is totally open, yet not observable from neighbors as the house is surrounded by trees Our kids came from NYC w/partners for one weekend and the house was fine with all six of us there, and our little dog enjoyed chasing rabbits in the yard, and daily walks thru the woods and around the neighborhood. All in all, everyone had a goood time.

John’ family house was perfect for a birthday getaway long weeeked, this mostly modernized house was just the right amount of quiet but close to town, and at most a 10 min walk to a great local beach.

Fabulous Family Vacation in Chatham
Our vacation in Chatham was awesome from beginning to end. Our check in time was 5 o'clock, but John emailed me around 2 to say that the house was cleaned and ready to move in. We were all very excited to be able to unpack and start relaxing on the Cape. The house was very comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching television in the family which was very spacious for the 6 of us.( 4 adults and 2 children). The beds were comforable and the kids enjoyed the bunk beds which were a novelty for them. It was especially nice to have air conditioning since it was quite hot while we were there. Going to the beach( and we tried several) was easy since there were 6 beach chairs, beach towels and even pails and shovels for the kids. There were also many bikes to choose and a favorite activity was biking to Forest beach later in the day. My granddaughter easpecially like the bicycle built for 2 and she would ride in back with her dad. There were also helmets provided. We didn't utilize them, but there were also boogie boards and large tubes for swimming. The kitchen was well equipped and supplied with all the necessities. The washer and dryer worked well and was very convenient to use. One floor living was very easy! The only criticism I have is the shower head in the master bathroom was hard to position. All in all, everything was wonderful and we thank John and Ruby for letting us relax in their home. John also was very quick with e-mail responses. Thanks for everything, John and Ruby

All of what we were anticipating and more! Wonderful!
The house was exquisite; clean, in excellent repair, roomy and a very relaxing atmosphere. The setting of the home on the cup-de-sac made for a very peaceful and quiet location. The owner, John Muldoon, was also very responsive and a gracious host. A highlight was the proximity of the beach. With beach paraphernalia and children we drove each day (2 cars) and never had a problem parking. It was as if we had our own private beach to enjoy. Two weeks wasn't enough. It was very hard to leave. I highly recommend this home. It absolutely deserves Five Stars!!!
Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2016

Great Cape Escape
Amazing stay at this house. Has everything, nicely decorated and great location. You can't pick a better place to stay in Chatham. Easy for day trips and many fine places to eat nearby. We really enjoyed our stay with five adults and three children.

So glad you had a great 40th birthday celebration at Cape Escape Nicole. We were especially blessed to hear that everyone had so much fun and it was a vacation your Dad will never forget. Wonderful to build those precious family memories. That is what this is all about. See you again in the near future.

Amazing beach house in the perfect Cape Cod city
Perfect stay. We were my dad and my brother, both with their wifes, my brother's son and me. We had the perfect 4 days in Chatham, the rest of Cape Cod and Newport. The house is absolutely beautiful, everything new and in a great location.
