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 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 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.

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.

Great location walking distance of Chatham shops and restaurants and the local beach. Spacious and welcoming environment for the two of us. Location was quiet. Good base to explore the cape and islands.

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.
