** 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 Gifford-Buck apartment has undergone significant changes as a result of the renovation. Check out the new photos, but note that reviews prior to July 2025 are of the old apartment.**

The largest of the four apartments, the Gifford-Buck apartment is a comfortable first-floor, 5-room, 2 bedroom, 2 bath gem. Airy and light, the large living room with an electric fireplace and smart-TV occupies the center of the house. The dining room seats 8 and connects to a beautiful full-sized kitchen--or eat and relax on the quiet side yard patio with picnic tables and area seating. The apartment is fully heated and airconditioned via solar-powered heat pumps. Two bedrooms--one with a queen-sized bed and private bath and one with two twins, near the main bath, make this apartment perfect for a family. The apartment also includes a stackable washing machine and dryer off the kitchen.

The charm of the apartment is further enhanced by the warm glow of wide pine floors and wainscoting. Wi-fi is available throughout the house. The house is equipped with two Level 2 EV ChargePoint chargers for use by renters.

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 1828, 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.

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 Gifford-Buck apartment at Ship’s Light is rented for longer stays during the summer and and for minimum 2-night stays 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. Contact the owner for details.
Located in Chatham, this apartment is in the city center. West Dennis Beach is a popular attraction and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Cape Cod Beaches and Nauset Beach. Chatham Railroad Museum and Chatham Marconi Maritime Center are also worth visiting. Discover the area's water adventures with kayaking and water skiing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with hiking/biking trails and cycling.
