Lucky last minute getaway!!

I would like to say to begin the cottage is a bit smaller than the pictures so be aware of that. However, there were 6 of us and we were able function remarkably well in the kitchen and all areas of the cottage. This is definately a place to rest and relax. Perfect for adult getaways. Janet definately thinks of every detail known to man. She is a pleasure to work with and very patient. I would reccommend this cottage to anyone who just needs to get away from all that day-to-day drama of life.
Would not reccommend this cottage to anyone with very small children though. The stairs to rooftop could be dangerous but otherwise, awsome!!!!!!!!

Janet's little blue cottage reminds me of the James Taylor song Up on the Rooftop. Simply climb the spiral staircase onto the roof deck and enjoy the fresh, clean air and serenity where all your troubles will float away. We've stayed at Janet's cottage for over 4 years and always are welcomed with a nice basket with a bottle of wine. The place is always stacked and clean. She has thought of everything and then some. You'll even find laundry detergent and fabric softner! Our little Bassett Hound, Liberty knows 3miles away that we are soon approaching her little retreat from the city life. Recently, recovering from medical issues, our week away at this place has helped tremendously. Janet has alwasy been kind and generous...knowing it may take us a little longer to get ready, she has allowed us to stay an extra day -- that is if the next guests weren't coming for a few days. If you're looking for an escape in a cozy cottage this is the place.

My sisters and I have a "sisters" weekend to catch up and relax. We found this property by chance the first year it was available to the public. We go back every year without looking elsewhere because the cottage is clean, well maintained and stocked with essentials, just add food.The owners are friendly and considerate. As a plus the neighbors are also laid back and friendly. The cottage is easy to reach but off the main roads. Close to shopping and dining. I tell everyone about this place and highly recommend a visit.

My family and I had an enjoyable stay in this quaint cottage last summer. I was impressed at how the owner provided all the necessities for us to live comfortably for the week from the linens, to paper products, and all of the kitchen supplies and staples that one needs to cook were provided! I decided to cook one night and needed a drop of olive oil. When I opened the cabinet, there it was! It's so nice to go away and not have to think of every little detail. I highly recommend this bright, clean, and comfortable cottage.

This cottage is perfect for whatever haven you may be seeking.
The owners keep the cottage impeccable inside and out. The amenities are outstanding.
And the locale is perfect. Close to everything you need, dining, shopping, beach, boating, etc.
My sisters and I make an effort to get away at least once a year. This time is precious and goes by very fast.
So we appreciate all the extra effort & care the owners put into making the cottage comfortable and special.
Every year that we visit, it's like an old friend welcoming you back.

We enjoyed a peaceful four-day stay at Blue Hydrangea in September. We had our two daughters (ages 2 and 10 months) with us, and it was a great place for them. My older daughter played in the fenced-in yard, and there were no breakable items to move out of my baby's reach. There was a supply of beach toys and beach chairs in the shed, which we used several times.

We enjoyed walking around Seaconsett Island, especially the boatyard. . . we got to see a boat being lifted up to its third-story bunker. My husband and I enjoyed sitting up on the roof deck after the kids had gone to bed and gazing at the stars.

Everything was clean, and we enjoyed the supply of books and coloring books. This location is close to the Cape Cod Children's Museum and a lovely beach (both about a ten minute drive) and only twenty minutes from Falmouth.

We’ve been staying at one of the two cottages owned by Janet Gary for the past four years. During this time, we’ve grown in the number of family members and their families joining us … so has our move from the “Starboard” cottage to the larger next door cottage being a “no brainer”. What brings us back each year has to do with the closeness to “kid friendly beaches”, great seafood restaurants, and even those deep sea fishing excursions about which we still get excited!

To get a sense of this past summer’s events, we had our three children (now young adults), their families, and grandchildren. The location allows us to split up at times for those who want to visit Silver Beach. As a group we traveled to the nearby Cape Cod Brewery, the local winery and Cape Cod Chip Factory. Our bottom fishing excursion out of Falmouth was the highlight for those adults and grandchildren who were so inclined while a shopping trip for the others to the nearby malls and outlets met their collective interests.

Leaving is very difficult, but the memories each year bring us back. With so many of us, we leave in stages. One family leaves the night before and for one family living in Canada, they leave at the crack of dawn. Our youngest helps with the final cleaning while we flip a coin to see who is going to go a local laundry with the five or so washes we’ve accumulated. Despite a washer and dryer on sight, with our group, it is good to get everything “good as new” within two hours.

If you’re thinking about the cottage, come for a visit. Janet is quite a host in identifying local amusements, beaches, and things to do. We’ve come to think of the cottage as “our own” and always don’t mind leaving it the same, if not better than we found it!

Every year my husband and I take a week in June to stay on Cape Cod. This year we selected this cottage and were extremely happy with our choice. Everything in the cottage was clean and very welcoming. It was perfect for us and our 4 year old son. He loved the private beach and was always playing in the sand or climbing some of the rocks. The water was great for him to play in too. Everything about the cottage and the location allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation better then we ever have. We came down from Boston and usually stay in the Brewster area, but decided to try something new. We had a lot questions about the area and the cottage and the owner was great about answering them all for us. South Cape beach was a quick drive and there was plenty of things to do locally that kept us busy. We have been looking forward to going back for our vacation in 2009 since we left.
