    We stayed at the Blushing Oyster with 4 other couples all attending a wedding for the daughter of one of the couples. We were all graciously welcomed by Sue and Jim and they were very accomodating with all our needs for the wedding. The rooms were cozy, clean and very comfortable. I was amazed how each room was well sound insulated. You couldn't even hear people coming up and down the staircase. Refreshments were available 24 hours and the breakfast was outstanding. Fresh fruit, home made muffins, scones, and unique breakfast entres to satisfy all. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the outdoor patio was perfect for our gauthering before the rehersal dinner. The suggestions for lunch at the marina was a true Cape Cod experience with lobster rolls and fishing boats going in and out of the harbour. The B&B was walking distance to great shops and even Church on Sunday Morning. We highly recommend this quaint Cape Cod B&B. Dan & Reg, MA

    Do not miss out on the chance to stay here! My husband usually disdains B and B's and he left the weekend wishing he could have stayed longer! Jim and Sue treat you like family and serve up breakfasts that are out of this world! We were up for our wedding weekend and they were super accommodating to our needs, especially with all the going's on the day of the wedding. The location is great, you are near all the hot spots, so whether you want to go to the beach, whale watch, grab some chowder, or just hang around the B and B's meticulous gardens or curl up in their cozy living room with a good book, this B and B is the place for you!

    We enjoyed a beautiful Fall weekend at the Blushing Oyster, while we attended a wedding. Jim & Sue were most hospitable innkeepers--the place was beautifully decorated. Loved the outdoor private patio ,which we enjoyed with our friends. The breakfasts were excellent (ask for the "Sleepin' in Omelet"--delicious-and Sue will give you the recipe). And what a great location!

    I just had the wonderful pleasure of spending 3 days and nights at The Blushing Oyster Bed and Breakfast. Both Jim and Sue greeted us with a very warm welcome to their beautiful home. The decorating is absolutely outstanding. A true gift. It is amazing how an old home can feel so very fresh and inviting. The breakfast were all outstanding and a true treat. I would highly recommend a stay at The Blushing Oyster to anyone looking for a wonderful visit to Cape Cod. You will certainly recieve a very warm welcome from both Jim and Sue and feel very much at home.
