We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this home! It's a charming older house that has been beautifully restored, with so much thought and care put into every detail.The location was perfect—on a quiet street and about a 10-15 min walk to Short Sands beach (calmer water that was perfect for our kids). The house was very well stocked with everything we needed.The owners, who live next door, were incredibly responsive and available if needed while still giving us complete privacy. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay, and we wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Great stay!

This was our second time staying at this location and we absolutely love it. It is everything as advertised, is immaculate, and was very comfortable for 5 adults. We love the location with easy access to town and appreciate Jen’s hospitality. We are already hoping to stay here again for our next family reunion in two years.

It was hard to leave this beautiful cottage! We loved being able to walk to the beaches, to the shops and to the Nubble Light from this fabulous location.

We loved this cottage nestled on a quiet side street near Nubble Light House. It was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could want. The large wraparound porch was the perfect location for your morning coffee and we took advantage of its close vicinity to Short Sands by taking several long walks. It was the perfect family vacation at the beach!

Amazing Property, Location and Hosts!

Our extended stay at the Blue Hydrangea lived up to all of the positive reviews and yet it still exceeded our expectations! The house felt like a home - well-appointed, comfortable, cozy and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including great beach chairs, an umbrella and a beach cart! The location was perfect - a quiet street with an 8-10 min. walk to either Long Sands or Short Sands beach. The Jacksons were wonderful hosts - friendly and responsive. The Blue Hydrangea and the Jacksons have set a high bar for other VRBO properties! Thanks for a great vacation!

Great place to stay with kids, tweens, teens, quick walk to short and long sands beach. Lots to do at both locations. Owners and neighbors are gems, friendly and helpful. The house is exactly like the pictures, impeccably clean and comfortable. My teen and tween said they want to come back next year. We had a blast.

A Relaxing Stay in a Cozy Home!

This home is beautiful! There was plenty of room, and everything we could need in the kitchen. Reading on the shaded porch or sunning in the backyard- all relaxing! The house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but right in the middle of everything! Long Sands to the right, Short Sands to the left, and the Nubble Light at the top! Had a relaxing time!
