Rockport was beautiful on Memorial Day weekend! The cottage was perfect for our party of four adults. Great peaceful location and clean cottage and packed with everything you needed to cook, relax, beach, bike and have fun! Thank you Mary for being attentive and for the wonderful accommodations at your cottage.

Enjoyed the nautical decor and quiet neighborhood. Coming "home" to Cape Ann, where we were born and raised, was a wonderful trip down memory lane.

The owner Mary is easy to work with and gave us a gift basket of chocolates, wine, crackers, and more. The house is nicely updated and near the town. It is near a main road but very well insulated and sound proofed. The back deck furniture and amenities were all enjoyable with a peak a boo ocean view too. . It is also on a road that you can walk along the ocean with breath taking views. We would highly recommend this property.

Charming home in Rockport
We enjoyed our stay at Blue Hydrangea, which is a lovely home in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. The property was very clean and well stocked. The welcome basket that we received was really appreciated. We would not hesitate to stay at Blue Hydrangea again.

Great vacation!
Owner was so helpful and responsive to any questions we had. Her place was immaculate! She even left a welcome basket with goodies and information on the area. Rockport is a very quaint coastal town. Would definitely come back!

Awesome cottage
I have rented dozens of vacation homes over the years, and this is one of my favorites of all time. It was the perfect size for 4 adults. Photos are very accurate, except that living room now has a couple of additional chairs. It is very nicely renovated, extremely clean, very well stocked, and in a lovely location. The lane it sits on is close to the water and meanders about 1/2 mile down to a small beach. Very peaceful setting with lovely landscaping and a nice deck to enjoy in good weather, but also close to Rockport shops. Check-in procedures were simple and provided in plenty of time by owner. Would love to return!

A wonderful getaway
My wife and I had an amazing time in this cabin, spending a fall weekend walking into Rockport, building a fire in the fireplace, and just generally unwinding. Seems like it would be great for a beach trip, as well, but Fall in MA is hard to beat and this was the perfect home base for the trip. Mary was immensely responsive and welcoming, and the condition of the house was great.

So charming and accommodating
We seriously had one of the nicest stays ever- there was not one single thing to complain about this home, there was a gift basket upon arrival, the home was clean and decorated adorably! It was the perfect size for our family of 5 and the kids loved the stay as much as we did! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need, the beds were comfortable and everyone slept great and then the shower! Love! They have water pressure to be envious of! Mary was delightful, we had zero reason to reach out but she welcomed us with thoughtful notes and messages and my children loved their gorgeous yellow lab and the rope swing out back. We have already raved about the property and location to my parents who want to book as well and if there is anything that brings us back to Rockport- this will be our first Vrbo to look for! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Wonderful cottage in charming Rockport
My wife and I have stayed at VRBO many times and this was one of our most enjoyable. The cottage was immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed. There were many beaches nearby and if you enjoy nature Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive away. We would like to return to charming Rockport some day. Bob B

Absolutely Wonderful!
We absolutely loved our week at Blue Hydrangea. The cottage was super clean and airy. The back deck was perfect for morning coffee. The kitchen was stocked well enough that we were able to cook several family meals together, which we always enjoy. The beds were super comfortable. The living room was a great space for family to hang out.
The neighborhood of Marmion Way is incomparable! Beautiful architecture and crashing waves on the short (1/2 mile) walk down to the private neighborhood beach where many residents keep kayaks and even a few Adirondack chairs to enjoy. We so appreciated having the bikes and kayaks to enjoy. I can't say enough about this incredible cottage and location. We'll be back!

We enjoyed everything about our stay at the Blue Hydrangea in Rockport. The house is beautifully decorated, the kitchen is well stocked, and there was plenty of space for our family of four. From the house, it is a short walk into the town of Rockport for eating and shopping. We also enjoyed walking to the water (where the property's kayaks are kept) to kayak. The bicycles and kayaks supplied by the owner were a great addition to our stay (2 iof each). If you need extra bikes, you can rent from Addison Choate in town. If you looking to visit another Cape destination on your trip, it is only a short drive to the quaint town of Gloucester, which we visited on several of the days. Another highlight of Gloucester was our sunset schooner cruise on the Schooner Ardelle. It was peaceful and relaxing.We always like to read about people's restaurant suggestions... here are a few of ours:Gloucester:Zeke's for BreakfastLone Gull CoffeeDrift Willow Rest for fantastic sandwichesJeff's Variety for lobster rolls $19.95 eveydayIf you are a member of the Elks Club, the Gloucester Elks Club has the best views of the ocean.

Newly renovated cottage located in a great part of Rockport. Very quick ride into downtown and a short walk to some amazing views of the water. The second half bathroom really helps for convenience. Unlike a lot of rental places, the mattresses are super comfortable. The A/C units work well at cooling down the space (can get very hot in Rockport unlike what some will tell you). Kitchen space is new and nicely organized. Wifi is fast and TV uses Roku which provides a lot of options. Plenty of space to spread out in the living room area. Owners are quick to respond, helpful, and friendly. Would definitely like to stay here again!

The house was cozy, clean, and comfortable. A beautifully furnished space, it was the perfect size for our family and had everything we needed for our stay. Mary was a very thoughtful and accommodating host. The house is in a great location for enjoying Rockport and surrounding areas. Had the weather been better, we would have taken advantage of the outdoor amenities such as biking, grilling and relaxing on the deck. This is one of the nicest homes we’ve rented!

Lovely place to stay
We had an absolutely wonderful time at the property and couldn't have asked for nicer amenities or friendlier property manager. The house was very clean and perfect for our family who enjoyed the yard, the games, the patio and the neighborhood. It's a gem of a place situated within walking distance of many places to explore and only a short drive into Rockport center. I'd definitely recommend it!
