About this property
Large Yard, Quiet; 300 Yd on Sidewalk to Hardings Beach
If you have small children or would just like some peace and serenity, Blue Skye is for you. Lots of lawn to run and play, and it is set back from the street and other area houses. This is the only cottage in the area, and it's neighbors are multi-million dollar houses. It is clean, modern, in first class condition, and with great amenities. We live here when our children take over the main house that is 200 yards to the rear. Approximately 3/4 of our renters re-book the following year, and some have been coming for 20 years! The age range of guests is from infant to 90+.
Curl up with that book or just close your eyes because you know this house and yard is a perfect getaway.
Hardings Beach - the most popular area beach because of its warmer, calmer water, wide clean sand, and a one mile beach walk to the lighthouse. It's a 2 minute walk with the children along a wide pedestrian sidewalk to the beach. Look for the seals, boats heading into Nantucket Sound, wind surfers, fishermen, the famous fish weirs off shore, and lots of shells to find.
Pick your Hideaway – put that lawn chair under a shade tree or a secluded, sunny spot.
Need to borrow some sand or lawn toys? We have several to choose from.
Bring your bikes and store them in the garden shed. The Cape Cod Bike Trail goes for 22 miles and is only a 4 minute drive up the road.
Outdoor Private Shower - (please, only one person at a time unless you're in a committed relationship!!)
2 Bedrooms – 1 with a new queen and 1 with 2 twin beds with new mattresses.
3 Season Porch - built 2018, 220 sf, wood paneled, 10 sets of windows/screens, separate screen door and inner dutch door, vaulted wood ceiling, dining table with 6 chairs, and separate seating area with wicker furniture and coffee table.
Living room has a sofa, easy chairs, fireplace (not usable), internet ready TV and DVD, VCR, internet, wifi, and coffee table/floor space for games and toys.
The property also includes a separate, 5 bedroom house that is 200’ further back on the property and is rented during the summer. The larger house is virtually unseen from your house as it is shielded with numerous trees, bushes, and the car parking area. A 2 bedroom cottage is near the larger house; however this is not rented out. One of my children may use it at some point during the summer to help me with the upkeep and maintenance of the the property.

About the host
Hosted by Tom McDonald
The McDonald family welcomes you to our family reunion home, Blue Skye. The Clan MacDonald has its roots on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, hence the name. We have 4 children who span an age range of 21 years, and we are now blessed with 9 granddaughters. We are not members of Planned Parenthood but probably should have been. Our primary home is in Hudson, Ohio, and our children are presently in Swampscott MA, Vermont, Utah, and New Zealand. Barb and I often stay in this cottage in both the summer and winter when we have the children and their families here for a get-together. We love the quiet!! Tom is a retired general contractor. His extra time includes tennis, bagpiping, piano, boating, and golf. Barbara is a retired residential architect. She also enjoys working with various service organizations, gardening, reading, and being a grandmother.
Why they chose this property
We rented the one bedroom cottage for several years, and when we outgrew the accommodations, we rented other homes in the area. In 1996, when we found that our friends were selling this property, we took a giant leap into the unknown. It's a wonderful place for grandchildren, and we're thrilled that our children and grandchildren love to come and visit us in Chatham.
What makes this property unique
This 2 bedroom house is uniquely situated 100 feet back from the sidewalk with an expansive lawn and privacy from neighboring multi-million dollar homes. The interior has painted pine paneled wainscoting throughout, and it is a home that is neat, clean, and easy to maintain. Children have plenty of room to run and play, and parents can always find a quiet place to get away from the activity. There are gardens, both annual and perennial, and the blooming hydrangeas make the property magnificent in the summer. The beach is accessed by a wide sidewalk, and it is only 300 yards away. Go down many times during the day! It's only a 2 minute walk.
