On Campground Beach; Panoramic View of Cape Cod Bay
Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 19642

My husband had to drag me out by my ankles as I was kicking and screaming that it was time to leave. Well, ok, that was only in my mind but seriously this home is a little slice of heaven! Every detail is thoughtful, from the clamshell soap holder to the cork ceiling ( yup we left a few). This was my 50th trip to Cape Cod (my parents started this tradition in the early 50's). What started as a family of 3 has grown into a family of 32 and we all rent homes near Campground and go as a family.

My family was so jealous of our accommodations. It really is a spectacular place! Beautiful large outdoor shower, and the layout of the home is amazingly appointed with amenities and you can see how much effort our hosts put into making it stand out. We spent much time on the rooftop deck and the screened in porch. Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us! show more show less

This charming little cottage is in such a great location. You can walk a few steps to the beach, walk about a mile to quite a few places to eat, drink, get ice cream, etc., or bike just over a mile to the rail trail.

The cottage is very cozy and has everything you need for a great stay. The kitchen is well stocked, the internet is fast, there are dvds, games, books about the Cape and a giant binder of tourist info. Nice screened porch and a roof deck for relaxing.

If you are looking for a beautiful beach cottage, in a great location, and steps away from the beach, then look no further. Blue Skies on the Half Shell will not disappoint! I spent hours on line looking for that special cottage on the lower/outer Cape that would "just feel right" from the moment I saw it. Arriving with anticipation and hoping the cottage was as advertised, Blue Skies on the Half Shell exceeded everything we hoped for from the moment we opened the front door. We did not want or need for anything during our stay (except more time).

The location and close proximity to the beach can't be beat! The sunsets from the roof deck were amazing! We explored most of the outer Cape and part of the lower Cape and were always happy to return home after a day of exploring to see the sunsets with a cocktail in hand. Sue is wonderful to work with. She was responsive to all of our questions prior to arrival and even checked in with us a day later to make sure we didn't have any questions or concerns. We definitely will stay here again when coming to the Cape and highly recommend this cottage without hesitation. Thank you, Sue and Lee, for sharing your special place with us!

This was a repeat visit at Blue Skies & we continue to find that it's just right for us. The central location to beaches, restaurants & P'town is key. Whale Watch was outstanding this year. Campground Beach next door for actual swimming a real plus. Stewart's seafood restaurant was our favorite for dinner this year. Cottage immaculate as always & decorative touches & attention to detail make it unique. Hope to return again soon. Evelyn & Steve

Our week long stay was truly the most relaxing we've ever had! The cottage has every amenity you could possibly need! And the beachy decor put a huge smile on our faces! It's exactly how I would decorate my own little piece of heaven. The proximity to the beach was excellent! Since we were in the middle of a heat wave, we enjoyed spending long days at the beach every day! Loved it!

Another wonderful time at Blue Skies! We've always enjoyed the Cape but this Happy House has taken it to another level. Our two weeks here still wasn't enough, might have to consider 3 weeks next year! We feel so at home here. Everything you need is right here, love the porch, deck, beach, the privacy and convenience of everything in the area. Fun, sun, food, wine in the Summertime at Blue Skies. Love it!

We just completed our fourth stay in Blue Skies on the Half Shell. This truly is home away from home for me. The only change I would make would be to have it on the waterfront! Since that is not possible, I'd say there is nothing to be done to improve our enjoyment during this time. The cottage welcomes us with its warm, sparkling atmosphere, is cozy and bright, and well stocked anticipating nearly every need we could have. The walk to the beach is about 100 steps and beach chairs and toys are provided as well. We continue to discover neighboring delights, such as Fairways restaurant, coffee from the Hole in One, the Yarn store for those knitters who come, and the wonderful community of Orleans.

Sue and Lee, the owners, are so very accommodating and pleasant, you will feel as though you've known them for a while, even though they are not nearby. Renting from them just might be one of the best decisions you'll ever make. We are fortunate to be able to be there for 2 weeks, yet every year when we pack up and leave, I'm sad and start counting down for the next visit. show more show less

Our family was back for a second time at Blue Skies. The place is perfect. Our young family of 4 found the accommodations just what we needed for a week of rest and relaxation. We're looking forward to returning next year. Just a note that may be helpful: you don't need to bring anything for the beach! The owners have been kind enough to provide beach chairs and as many kids toys as you could need... umbrellas, wagons, kites, buckets and shovels...

Our fifth visit here and counting. I don't know what we've ever done to deserve another post-Labor Day week of glorious weather!! Swimming in the clear, cool water of Race Point within view of whales spouting their beautiful fountains of water…well, for me, this is my idea of heaven. I'd like to put that day in a Mason jar, put the lid on tightly, and then save it for a brutal day in January when we're being assaulted with bitter cold and mountains of snow…then pop the lid and out pops September 16th! We love being here. See you next year.

This is a great cottage in Eastham. This was our second visit. It's a beautiful, clean and comfortable cottage that has everything you need. The beach is a very short walk away. No need to pack up the car and drive back and forth to the beach, especially when you have small children. Sue and Lee provide beach toys, wagons, chairs and umbrellas. The outdoor shower and rooftop deck which overlooks the beach are also great. If only vacations could last forever!
