We just returned from a lovely 4 days at the Blushing Oyster. Sue and Jim and wonderful hosts and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was beautiful as was the entire home. Sue is an outstanding decorator and Jim is a wonderful cook. All of our breakfasts were delicious and unusual. We can't wait to return.

The Blushing Oyster is truly beautiful! The rooms are beautifully appointed, and the main areas of the inn are exquisite, as well. Jim and Sue have taken great care with every detail! We had a bit of a rough start and a misunderstanding with Jim concerning our arrival. A terse phone conversation left us wondering if we had made a mistake in choosing a location. But everything smoothed out and turned out to be great! This is a historic home, so expect really small but very clean bathrooms. Also, pack a small extension cord if you need to charge phones, iPads, etc. Jim is quite the cook and makes a fantastic breakfast each day! You'll love everything about your stay here!

Normally, when I come over to the Cape to visit Headquarters of IFAW I stay in a hotel. For this time I choose to stay in a B&B and stayedin The Bkushing Oyster. This was an outstanding choise and I enjoyed every minute of it. The great hospatality from Jim, the wonderful breakfasts ( everything fresh) the wonderful garden we could stay in. Absolutly fabulous!!! Note: For some reason I had to give a rate for dining which ofcourse is not possible at a B&B, but I am sure if there had been a possibility to have dinner it also would have been great.

We just returned from a very short weekend getaway here at Blushing Oyster B&B and it was one of the best weekend getaways we had in awhile. Perfect distance to the whale watching cruise (which is just fantastic by the way), and close to all the great beaches and restaurants. This place is so "home-y", well managed, CLEAN, and just overall extremely pleasant. Hate to admit that I am a hotel snob and get extremely picky about where I sleep-but coming to this place was as comfortable as visiting my parents home. I could not believe how clean it was, and how beautiful the rooms were. We felt like we were sleeping inside my dream doll house... Jim was really accommodating, helpful, laid-back, and generally one of those people you meet for the first time and feel like you've known them for a lifetime. The food was flawless, as we sat outside the beautiful (and well managed) porch under the shade while enjoying the company of other visitors. The creme bulee french toast was...........(there are no words to describe how good it was). When we told Jim that we were heading out to the beach, he gave us precise directions and offered us beach towels and chairs. Everything just felt warm, kind, caring, and laid-back. Just like home. There are great restaurants nearby as well within walking distance, and the beaches are all within 10 minute drive. Only sad part was that we wished we could have stayed a little longer!!!

We stayed in the Wellfleet Suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jim was a great host, the house is beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated, and the grounds have extensive gardens and a nice, sheltered patio (for drinks or breakfast)

I stayed in this lovely b& b in the fall. Hosts were lvely, breakfast was gourmet. walking distance to many shops, very peaceful, yet not isolated.
5 out of 5The perfect B&B for a Cape Cod destination wedding...
October 16, 2011
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!
