"Shangri-La" of Cape Cod
"Shangri-La" of Cape Cod
Submitted: August 31, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
The "wows" began as we drove up the driveway into "Blueberry Patch." Beautiful grounds and gardens immediately caught our eyes as we were welcomed by Emily. (She was our caretaker while Rick, the owner, was away.) The tour of the property began in the most incredible kitchen we had ever seen and there on the island was a huge basket of freshly baked blueberry muffins. Walking from room to room we noticed how roomy our accomodations were going to be and how each room was so beautifully appointed with comfortable beds, luxury linens and towels, yet so wonderfully cozy and inviting. Each bedroom had a television. There was a sound system that was I-Pod ready; a library with enough books for a winter's reading; and a laundry with a washer and dryer that kept up with our family of 12. The Carriage House was charming and was perfect for those of us with different sleep schedules. Of course, the gated pool and play area were the biggest attraction for our grandchildren.
We loved the location of the property; seemed equidistant between Skaket and Nauset Beach; close to a park for the grandchildren and where we watched the East Orleans Firebirds; and minutes from the local grocery store. The "compound" itself was very secluded and quiet and totally away from the traffic which was perfect for our little ones. Rick arrived the second week of our stay and was so supportive, always there if a need arose. We truly can't say enough about him and his beautiful home. It was the perfect vacation home for family and we look forward to returning soon! Thanks so much Rick! We would recommend your property to anyone!!
