“The Perfect Couple” Inspired Cape Cod Trip

A friend recently told me: “You HAVE to watch ‘The Perfect Couple‘ on Netflix!”  With so much new content these days, it’s great to get a recommendation from someone who knows what you like.  And I LOVE mysteries!  While shows like “Emily in Paris” are more frothy & fun, this Nicole Kidman-led drama leaves you with a major cliff-hanger at the end of each episode.  In other words: it’s totally binge-worthy.  And its filming locations are heavenly, as it was shot on both Cape Cod & Nantucket.  Here, we’ll discover “The Perfect Couple”-inspired Cape Cod trip…

Map of “The Perfect Couple” Locations

“The Perfect Couple” filmed on both Cape Cod & Nantucket Island, which are separated by the Nantucket Sound.  While Cape Cod can be reached by car, Nantucket is only accessible by plane or ferry….which is one reason it’s been so popular with politicians & celebrities for years.

Hotels with “The Perfect Couple” Vibes…

Look at those HYDRANGEAS!! This house is located in Chatham, on Cape Cod ~ not Nantucket, as the show suggests. Photo: People.

• Chatham Bars Inn ($306+/night) = A Dead Ringer for “The Perfect Couple” Set!  Located just minutes from where they filmed the show, Chatham Bars Inn looks like it was created for the show.  From its lavish, oceanfront pool to coastal-chic rooms: this five-star hotel looks like a movie set itself.  And with a price tag under $500/night, it’s more affordable than you might think!  Amenities include a spa, private beach, Nespresso machines & Bose sound systems, heated oceanfront pool, tennis courts, & several restaurants on-site.  Staying here is like stepping right onto “The Perfect Couple” set!
• The White Elephant Nantucket ($276+/night) = A 1920’s Harborfront Gem with Cute Cottage Rentals! Though “The Perfect Couple” home is technically located on Cape Cod ~ many of the show’s aerial shots were filmed over nearby Nantucket.  And The White Elephant Hotel on Nantucket is another dead ringer for the show’s set.  Its iconic harborfront location dates back to the 1920’s, & you can choose from waterfront cottages or regular hotel rooms.  Enjoy nightly “Wine & Cheese” socials in their sophisticated library, or harbor views at their popular restaurant.

“We just returned from a fabulous week-long stay at the White Elephant in one of their two-bedroom residences. The space was perfectly laid-out for our multi-generational family of five, and we especially appreciated the kitchen and washer/dryer. The BMW car lottery system was so helpful for our daily plans, which allowed us to explore the island.

 

We hope to return again in the future!”
