Owner/Operator of Pleasant Forest Shores (a classic cottage colony in Swedish style) but
I spend the winter in FL and summer here on premises on Cape Cod.
I'm a "retired" mainframe COBOL programmer/analyst who's highly involved in Town of Chatham by running the "Chat-M-Room on Cape Cod" dedicated to its activities and history and attending town government meetings.
So...what makes my cottages unique? It's run by a second-generation owner who has been involved with them for all his life...also, they are inspected and licensed by Town of Chatham so you have that assurance as well but without the high costs typical of other rentals in town because I believe that regular folks should be able to vacation here in Chatham and not just those with lots of money!
You're not just a customer here, but rather a acquaintance or friend who's visiting and helping with expenses so I thus also expect you to treat my cottages as you would if you were staying at your best friend's home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: In a typical season, I only have openings for about 6-8 new customers as I have about a 90% repeat rate and most of those openings are before mid-July or after mid-August. But please contact me to see if I've got room for YOU, ok? Until all the prior customers are scheduled/booked OFF-line, the calendars here will show many weeks that are most likely UNAVAILABLE because I just don't have time to constantly update them.
RESERVATIONS: Please do NOT submit an actual booking Request until we've interacted about unit/date for you via Inquiry ("Contact Host") messages to avoid issues for both of us! An INITIAL contact made as a Request will almost guarantee that it will be DECLINED because of the limits/restrictions that it imposes on me.
STATUS: As of 02/27/22, only a couple of weeks remain open in the Apartment and the Labor Day week in Ctg #4.
RATES: A quirk of this site is that pro-rated portion of cleaning fee is added to daily rate so when you see rate change/increase, it's often due to this (and additional guests above 2 as well) so don't be confused.
TAXES: Any rental after July 1, 2019 will be subject to the new MA STR tax of 12.45% --and-- it applies to rent, cleaning and booking fees!

During your stay
My summer residence is the larger portion of the duplex cottage shared with the Apartment unit so I'm on-premises most all the time to assist with any problems/questions/etc. so don't hesitate to ask me if you need help or desire golf cart rides for your children!
