About this apartment rental
** 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 Lena Coleman apartment is the least-changed of the four apartments at Ship's Light. The layout remains the same, with a fully-equipped open kitchen/dining/living room area, cozy bedroom with comfortable queen-sized bed and a beautifully-tiled bathroom with new fixtures. It boasts a lovely porch deck, from which you can enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine while watching the sunset. It also has newly-installed, solar-powered air conditioning and heating throughout the apartment. The house has 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.
Named for my grandmother, the “Lena Coleman” apartment is a three-room, one bedroom gem. Airy and light, the eat-in kitchen boasts a bay window, with a round oak table and chairs and stained glass chandelier; the inviting living room has built in cabinets and a cozy window seat, two comfortable chairs and a smart-TV. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house. Perfect for a couple, the bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and a natural bead-board ceiling with exposed beams. The bath is beautifully tiled with a marble sink and sky light. Enjoy your morning coffee on the private roof deck with your loved one or watch the sunset while sipping a glass of wine. The charm of the apartment is further enhanced by the warm glow of beautifully refinished, hand-laid, wide pine, antique floors.
Centrally located within a short walking distance of excellent Chatham dining, shopping 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 Lena Coleman apartment at Ship’s Light is available for stays of 3+ nights during the summer and shoulder seasons and stays of 2+ nights during the off-season. Other units with unique features are also available and the whole house can be rented as a 5-bedroom home for family gatherings.

This was our second time staying here with Alison and I’m so glad we came back again! This time our trip was a little bit shorter, but we still made the best of the space. Check-in, of course is so easy and everything was perfect. I can’t stress enough how much I want to come back again before the end of summer, but I don’t think I’ll be able to! This place is perfect if you want to be able to go to the coast at Light House Beach or if you want to take a quick walk to oyster Pond Beach, and then also you can just be right in the middle of town, a quick walk away from all the shops and food and it really is the perfect place to stay in Chatham. Thank you so much!!

Everything was immaculately clean, in working order, and thoughtfully built/maintained. We loved the balcony and had quiet coffees each morning while enjoying the sunshine. Everything is so walkable, it was absolutely ideal and can’t wait to come back to Lena Coleman!

Great location, well decorated. Stairs from outside are quite steep so be careful carrying heavy suitcases up them. Bathroom is functional but small height wise.Otherwise a great spot walking distance to downtown Chatham.

I had a wonderful time in the Lena Coleman unit at Ship's Light. It is beautifully renovated and well appointed with everything I needed including a very comfortable bed and a balcony to watch the passers-by and sip my tea. The location couldn't be better: it's a short walk to the Chatham shops in one direction, to a salt water pond (and swimming) in another, and (my favorite) to Lighthouse Beach, where I started and ended many of my days with a long beach walk. Allison is a wonderful host, easy to reach and very helpful. I'll be returning here. Highly recommend!
