our story

Hank + Joan’s is a quaint, small haven of homey cottages on the bayside of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. After years of word-of-mouth referrals, Joan and her family wanted to open their property to new eyes, while maintaining the simplicity and nostalgia that keeps vacationers coming back year after year.

“Ok by me!”

The story goes like this: Hank always loved sailing, and now that they retired near the ocean, he knew a sailboat was in his future. Hank went “window shopping” one afternoon, and shortly after Joan got a call saying, “Honey, I found a boat! Can I buy it?” and Joan replied, “Ok by me!”. And so the sailboat was christened, Ok By Me. Now, the phrase is engrained in the laid back, optimistic outlook at Hank + Joan’s Bayside Cottages.
