My wife and I just finished a wonderful winter escape at the Blue - Inn on the Beach for our anniversary. The drive to Plumb Island through Newburyport was the perfect introduction to our romantic, north shore getaway. Being from Phoenix, we look forward to our cold, winter adventure each year and neither of us had been anywhere north of Boston before. Before our arrival, communication with the Blue was informative and hand a personal feel. Obviously, the Blue caters to summer beach-goers, and the reserved parking area near the hotel would definitely be a huge plus for folks competing for parking spots, but in winter, there are very few people or cars on the entire island. The Blue is a quaint little hotel nestled on the beach in a neighborhood of New England beach homes. We were happily greeted at the front desk by Blue staff and the General Manager. They tendered to our every need and surprised us with a fabulous fruit and chocolate anniversary gift waiting for us in the room. The room was beautiful with a classic and modern beach feel. Sliding glass doors open up to a wooden deck with a fabulous view of the Atlantic Ocean. We could hear the crashing waves while sitting inside beside the gas fireplace to read. It was magical! Also magical was the bed! We haven't slept that well in years! The bed was so comfortable and my wife loved the pillows so much that she bought the very same ones for home the day we returned. And don't forget the two hot tubs! There is nothing quite as enjoyable as relaxing in a steaming, bubbling hot tub while it's snowing all around you. Honestly, the "hot tubs available" filter was probably what highlighted the Blue to me during my search for this trip. One hot tub is on the second floor deck, overlooking the beach and the second is hidden under the pine trees at the end of a short sidewalk across the street from the main building. Both were large enough for probably 6 people, clean and well maintained. Again, it was February so we had them all to our crazy selves the whole week. The beach is beautiful! There is direct, private access from the second floor of the Blue, via a wooden boardwalk. The beach is sandy with very few rocks. I didn't see any seaweed or anything washing up on shore, but it was February, so I didn't expect to see a whole lot of anything living coming out of the water. Every morning we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise over the ocean while we drank some local coffee delivered direct to the room. Oh yeah, breakfast! Each morning the staff dropped off and adorable wicker basket with fresh, local breakfast offerings plus that wonderful carafe of coffee. We had different breakfast each day, to include quiche, overnight oats, fresh fruit, biscuits, and bacon. Just the right amount for the two of us and we couldn't wait to see what breakfast surprise would arrive each morning. Although Plumb Island may feel remote from the business of the Boston-metro area, the location was great for dipping down to Salem without hitting any traffic, or popping up to New Hampshire for a sleighride through the forest. One morning, after a small nor'easter blew through, our SUV got stuck in the parking lot snow. No worries! The General Manager of the Blue came out to hail down a plow and personally helped push us out. Now that's service! Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Blue -Inn on the Beach to anyone looking for a romantic beach getaway. If you're looking for a less Metropolitan vacation with the proximity to get to Boston in under an hour, the Blue can't be beat. We will definitely be coming back. Maybe even in the summer next time! read more

This is a very comfortable accommodation. I love the breakfast baskets. They are allergy friendly here. They had hazelnut creamer for the coffee which I like a lot, but it should be separated in the room so it's not accidentally used by someone with a nut allergy. The sheets and pillows here were so nice I took notes to buy my own. They feel like down but are an alternative so that is allergy friendly too. The have Apple TV with casting which I don't often get in hotels, even expensive resorts. The AC and heating are highly responsive so you're going to be comfortable. They also have a remote control fan which is nice for anyone who regularly sleeps with the fan on. I would come back for a summer stay, but they do get fully booked easily so plan your summer visit before Spring starts. read more

We just celebrated our wedding anniversary at Blue and it was absolutely wonderful! The room was gorgeous, spacious, clean and comfortable. The view was incredible and the staff were attentive and lovely. Having breakfast and coffee delivered to the door each morning was so, so nice! The beach is pretty but we didn't go in the water because it was too chilly. It was fun to sit on the deck with our coffee and watch the surfers and dogs play! If you're looking for a romantic, gorgeous beach getaway, we highly recommend Blue on the beach!! read more

The most amazing place I've ever stayed in my life. Insanely gorgeous views, straight out of a dream. Luxury, intimate, thoughtful property & amenities. Wonderful staff. Would give 100 stars if I could. read more

Review of Ocean Cottage 22 The location is outstanding and the Ocean Cottage has its own beachfront space that is separate from the main building. You also get your own propane fire pit. There is a full kitchen, with stove/oven and dishwasher, which is not noted in the listing. With that being said, the luxury promised on Blue's website is not there. The photos of Ocean Cottage and the actual condition seem to be very different than what's represented. It's dingy, in need of maintenance and basic repairs. The bed, specifically the mattress and linens were something you'd find in a roadside motel, not a luxury resort. The mattress seemed to have a rubber liner on it that crinkled with every move. Additionally, the living room/lounge areas were sparse with furniture and the couch that was there was dirty, ripped and stained (see photos attached). Definitely not worth the high price tag of a nights stay. I can't speak for the main building or other cottages, but the accommodations in terms of luxury were far below what is promised online for the Ocean Cottage. Very disappointing. The staff was friendly and quick to respond. They always wore masks and check in/check out was contactless. You're definitely paying for location, which does have stunning ocean views and accessibility, but don't expect luxury or comfort at the Ocean Cottage at Blue Inn. Prepare to be disappointed. read more

We stayed here this spring. Had a relationship that had broken off and we're working on reconnecting. Not important I guess but the location, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere were incredibly peaceful and romantic and just what we needed just when we needed it. Highly recommend this place. read more

This gorgeous place was just what we needed. Outstanding service and ohhhh the views!!!! Get up early to watch that fabulous sunrise. The room is light airy and beautiful. The bed is extremely comfortable the fridge and microwave are much appreciated. The distance to town is a short drive. The breakfast baskets are promptly at the door at 8am and they were plentiful. 2 things I think are important. We have a room above us and you can hear people walking around quite a bit. So bring earplugs if this might bother you. Also the patio is kind of a neutral territory so people were walking right by our patio door for beach access. We did ask for someone to secure it a bit and they did. We would stay here again for sure and absolutely loved this place! read more

If I could give them 10 stars I would! We are traveling the East Coast from California and we are beyond thrilled that we found this place. We are staying in a King Cottage, perfect amount of space and can hear the waves crashing outside of our window! The staff is absolutely fabulous. They are the best. We arrived past closing time of the office, they made our contactless check in very smooth by providing us thorough directions via text message. They drop off hot coffee and breakfast every morning to your door. We even asked them to borrow a blender to make smoothies as a joke and they were able to accommodate us! I am currently enjoying a fresh blended smoothie that I made in the cottage. Thank you to everyone who made this stay so amazing! I hope to come back here some day. read more

BEWARE. Blue Inn On the Beach? More like Last Minute Screw-You on the Beach. These jerks just called us and are cancelling our King Ocean Room TWO days before our reservation. For $985 a night because "an AC is broken." They can't get it fixed in two days? Sounds like someone double-booked a room. Complete amateur operation and a complete joke for over $1000 a night. No solutions offered from them and didn't sound apologetic at all. Super shady. Anniversary plans ruined, just like that. We are on the road now have nowhere to stay.Beware - this could happen to you. I don't care how nice the hipster breakfast basket is. This is completely unacceptable. read more

My husband and I just returned. From 2 nights in The cottage at Blue . We were so disappointed!! We stayed in cottage18 . As we turned the key in The lock we looked down to see 10 inches of wood Rot on both sides of the door. Inside the bathroom The floor grate was so rusted a little spray paint would have fixed the problem . There was a screen Door leading to a small deck and the screen was Hanging half way down the door. The staff also forgot to service our room. I never expected the Cottage to be on such disrepair for the amount of Money they charge!! When we checked out I explained the issues to the desk clerk and the Only response was I'll tell my manager if this is considered a Lark hotel it surely missed the Mark I will not be able to recommend this hotel And wish I had my money back!!! so unfortunate read more

I would give this 3.5 stars, as 3 would be too low!! This was a quick and short getaway from the city and I love the Plum Island area. I stayed in one of the quaint cottages. The breakfast basket was yummy. Definitely four stars for the staff. It was easy to make the reservation over the phone. The front desk staff were great at check in and check out. I was slightly disappointed, as the online photos made it appear more upscale, which is why I gave this three stars instead of four. The cottage had ants in the kitchen and the shower stall had a couple of hair balls. read more

This hotel is phenomenal. My husband and I have traveled here for my birthday at the end of April twice. We recently returned from a Blue getaway over the weekend. The hotel is located right on the beach, therefore we leave our door open as we listen to the sounds of the ocean. It is a peaceful experience and "good for the soul." The hotel rooms are modern and tastefully decorated in white and Blue with beautiful artwork on the walls. We opened our front door to homemade breakfast each morning. We asked for the recipe for the overnight oats, which taste great, and are healthy. The staff was accommodating. It was clear to me that the woman we spoke with shares in our love for Blue. After the stay over the weekend, we are now back at work, revived. read more

The nicest place I have ever stayed, hands down. The staff was amazing and the hotel itself was very clean, and cozy. If you enjoy waking up to the sound of the ocean in a very comfortable bed this is the place for you!

Thank you to the staff for a great weekend read more

Blue - Inn On The Beach - View from the beach - Hotels Near Me - Newbury, Massachusetts

I booked Blue the morning of our stay. It was a last minute decision based on a great 2 day forecast. I knew of this hotel from my cousin who stayed there several years ago and raved about it. While staying in Rockport last year, we visited the Plum Island refuge and did a drive by Blue as I knew little of Plum Island other than the severe beach erosion that threatened several beachfront structures. A drive by does not do it justice. While looking at available rooms for the night we wanted, I thought it seemed a little overpriced given it was off season. And I thought to myself, website photos really can make everything look better than reality....was the Lark suite really worth the stated price?? Should I just do the queen or king ocean view and save money? Well I'm here to say the Lark suite is BETTER than the hotel website photos and was worth every single penny we spent! From the perfect white and blue color scheme to the 3 walls of almost floor to ceiling windows to our perfect little breakfast basket delivered to our door by 8 AM, it was just a perfect getaway. When I called Hayley to check availability of the Lark suite, she actually asked if I wanted early Check in ?!?! Who asks that... ever ...without prompting? Kudos for that!! Ten minutes after getting into our fabulous room, an email arrives with a few tips and suggestions including local dining spots and a suggested NBPT Scavenger hunt! This is why boutique hotels excel and Lark and Blue know how to do it! The layout of this suite is not for everyone as the main bath is on the entry level and everything else is up a flight of stairs. No elevators at Blue. We enjoyed a sunset off our rear balcony and a spectacular sunrise from our large beachfront patio. If it was too cold, the expansive windows pretty much provide the exact view from your comfy king sized bed, a comfortable sofa, your two person circular upholstered lounge chair or the small dining table with views down the beach. We've stayed in many beachfront/ ocean front hotel rooms throughout the US and except for one in Monterey , we always wish there were screens on our slider or windows to listen to the surf. Blue has you covered! Well thought out details abound! We loved Blue and all of those little details. The weather was perfect which only enhanced our view and stay! We will definitely be back! read more

Perfection! Quiet and romantic spot right on the beach! Staff was exceptional- always attentive, willing to help and you could feel they were genuinely happy to work here and cater to their guests. Room was immaculate- IMMACULATE! Watching sunrise from the luxury of your bed and then going outside on the deck to watch it was everything to us! Breakfast bags were thoughtful and creative. Loved every second we were here! Cannot wait to return- this has already become one of our top favorites! read more

Great get a way ! The location , staff and rooms are perfect for a quiet get away If they had one down fall , it was the ocean facing windows should be clean so you can see the view you're paying for lol I would go again but just some window cleaner with me next time read more

WOW! wow wow wow. I had REALLY high hopes for this stay. My wife and I are VALUED lark club members and have been staying with the company for almost a half a decade. We booked this suite through the VERY confusing and unintuitive website after seeing the beautiful and likely doctored pictures they post. We reserved a room for a long weekend, hoping to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beach/amenities of blue. Check in, left something to be desired after waiting for 10 minutes to speak with a less than hospitable employee. The cookies on the counter were hard as a rock. For almost 700$ a night, I expect the best quality of service and accommodation. That was not what i received. Upon entering our room, there was evidently a lack of upkeep not only in our suite, but throughout the entire property. I stepped in a shard of glass in the sand which is now infected, I expect more from a "private beach." The wifi throughout was on and off, and there was a rowdy group in the room next to us, leaving the nighttime vibe unpleasant and frankly unsettling. We will NEVER return to Blue or ANY other lark hotel. Don't waste your time or money here. You'll have better luck in a hampton inn, or sharing a bench with a stranger. read more

The location is excellent and the room was very clean when we arrived. We paid over $500 a night for our Queen bed ocean view room. "Breakfast " is delivered in a basket at 8 AM with a carafe of coffee. When we arrived we asked for decaf coffee and since my husband does not drink coffee, orange juice also. In the morning, the coffee was regular and there was no orange juice. I called the desk and both were brought up. Breakfast was a sweet apple tart and 2 good deviled eggs. The bed was comfortable but the walls are terrible thin and we could hear conversations and bathroom use in other rooms. We left to explore the first day and were gone from 11 - 2:30 and left the sign on the door for room service. When we returned, our room had not been cleaned. When I went to the front desk, he said the staff did not show up but he would freshen our room a bit. Another night with thin walls and in the morning, by 8:30 no breakfast had arrived. When I asked, he again said his co-worker had not shown up. "Breakfast" arrived at 8:45. A very cold, dry tasteless egg and broccolli omelet (no salt or pepper to save it) , cold, raw oatmeal muesli ? and a muffin which neither of us could tell if it was blueberry or chocolate chip. Definitely not worth the price, very poor service. If you want to visit Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge, you can stay somewhere else, pay $5 to enter the park (or free with a National Park pass) and have access to the beach through the refuge. We had our meals in Newburyport, (10 minute drive) since there were no good choices on Plum Island itself read more

Really nice place...lovely condition! Looking for a break...are you open Sunday Dec 19 for 3/4 nights...two 60s?

My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary, and I am so glad that we did! The Inn is gorgeous, right on the beach & there are so many thoughtful touches throughout. It is a simply wonderful place to be with someone you love. Unfortunately, while we were here, my husband got food poisoning from a place up the road. That is a topic for a different review! But I do want to note that the staff at Blue were very kind, bringing us extra water and tea, giving us a later check out so that he could sleep. We will be back for other celebrations! read more

Recently, I stayed at the Blue Inn for a long anticipated girls weekend. The location of this resort in unmatched with its Plum Island beachfront location. There are a few different buildings that make up the property and ours was the rental of the lower level of a house quaintly referred to as the "2 bedroom Queen Cottage". Upon entering the "cottage" we were met with an overpowering odor of mold/mildew. When a staff member from the hotel came over, he reported it was due to ongoing water damage from recent rainstorms. When we asked for a resolution to this issue, he provided us with a can of air freshener and offered to spray it for us... The following day, it rained and water began pouring into the entryway. We contacted the Inn staff and they brought over towels to sop up the water but stated there was nothing more they could do. The odor in the "cottage" worsened and the staff said they were unable to accommodate any change in rooms. The Inn boasts a long list of amenities such as multiple hot tubs and luxurious outdoor areas equipped with propane fueled fire pits. We found the hot tubs to be unclean and the fire pit inoperable. A staff member from the hotel attempted to light the fire pit with a pair of old pliers. After multiple attempts he stated he could not get the fire pit working but offered to leave the rusty pliers with us if we wanted to continue attempting to light it... Amenities are only amenities if they are operable! Lastly, upon check out, a staff member inquired about our satisfaction with our stay. When concerns were mentioned, we were offered a generous discount and a free upgrade at any Lark resort. Based on the location, we decided to give the Inn another try and went to book a stay for 2019. At this time we were told this offer would not be honored. I think this is a beautiful vacation spot with lots of potential but I caution others to adjust their expectations and only stay in the beachfront building... read more

One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in. My parents were paying the tab for the two bedroom cottage for a night after my brother's engagement extravaganza. My fiance and I had a comfy bed in a large room with a flat screen tv. The living area was amazing. All white, huge tv, lots of sitting room. Modern, clean kitchen, complete with Keurig and any appliance you would need for a week stay. I couldn't help but be pained to see the sweet patio and grill, considering it was November when I was here and there was no chance of us using it. The off season rate of $195 a night for four people is actually spectacular even though there's not a ton to do when it's not beach season. I assume it's ridiculously expensive during the summer since it's steps from the ocean. I would come back in the winter just for the hotel perks, especially the complimentary breakfast served to your cottage or suite every morning and the complimentary bottle of wine. read more

This review is based on their off-season rate. ($195 + 15% "service charge" for Sep 7th 2011 - Apr 30th 2012) Just stayed there this weekend and I can't wait to go back!! The staff was very friendly, prompt, and helpful; and the accommodations were clean and beautiful! The little breakfast basket (sent to our cottage at a specific time that we selected between the availability range of 8am - 10am) was very plain (bagel, fruit, juice), but better than I expected. My family and I stayed in one of the cottages and the beach was literally just a few meters away. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen carried all of the essentials. Wish we could have stayed more than just the one night. I had issues with their wifi (couldn't connect at all, but I didn't bother asking to get the problem resolved)--if you need wifi during your stay, make sure to check your connection as soon as you get there, so that you can attempt to get any issues resolved before the office closes for the night. Bottom line and other thoughts: Super expensive, very comfortable, wish I had asked about the wifi. Plum Beach is really lovely and Downtown Newburyport is pretty fun--we spent a LOT of time outside of the room--that's something to keep in mind if you're wondering whether it's really "worth it" to stay in an expensive place like this in the North Shore). Totally memorable, but I do admit that I would think that this place would be overpriced for any rate over $200/night. Go here if you can afford it and/or feel comfortable paying this high for a memorable and nice accommodation! read more

OK. I've stalled in writing this review because I was afraid this place will become too popular. Our family of 4 had a great 3 night stay in one of the cottages at the end of August. We also stayed here 2 years ago. The hotel is right on the ocean in Plum Island. It is the only hotel on Plum Island and it abuts relatively isolated beach. It is about a 1 hour drive from Boston which makes it extremely convenient to get to unlike some Cape Cod vacation destinations... The hotel was recently renovated and taken over by the Lark Hotel group which specializes in small hotels like this. There is a very unique boxed breakfast delivered to your door each morning around 8:30. It includes fresh coffee, eggs, oatmeal and fruit which vary each day. Our cottage included a full size fridge, stove, microwave etc. The bathroom was clean. We looked at some other rooms which were beautiful as well. We had great customer service from all the employees. I'll call out Jay who was very responsive and helped with everything including surf tips. re: dinner, Newburyport is 10 minutes drive away with many restaurants and the Plum Island Grill which is pretty good is a 10 minute beautiful walk away. You can borrow Blue's bikes or bring your own for a nice bike ride out into the adjoining National Park nature preserve. We will definitely return to Blue next summer! read more

My friends and I rented a cottage here for my 30th birthday and it was AMAZING! It was in early March, so it was still fairly cold out, and not too crowded. We pretty much had the cottage area to ourselves, and we got private use of the hot tub for the night. You're right off the beach, too, and it's far enough away from the city that you can see just about every last star in the sky. The only thing I'd say was less than ideal was that their tubs had zero traction. My friend took a bath the night before, and when I went to take a shower the next morning, I slid and banged my knee really badly. When I mentioned it to the front staff during checkout (the staff appears to exclusively be teenagers that look like they belong on a mid-90s WB teen drama, a la Dawsons Creek, but in a sleepy New England beach town), she looked perplexed and actually said something along the lines of "Well what did you want me to do about it?" How about some of those sand paper sticky things in the shower? Regardless, I've been back and absolutely love this place, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a vacation- ESPECIALLY if you're living in the Boston area and want to go for a reasonably priced but well worth it weekend getaway. read more

Not what it use to be. Visited end of July for wife's birthday. Promised to have chocolate covered strawberries in room for occasion. None. Next day promised to have them in room. Nothing! Not cool. Had workers running loud equipment 8:00 am Sunday morning outside rooms. Customer service completely lacking. Used to love the place, never going back! read more

My wife and I just spent a wonderful long weekend at Blue - Inn on the Beach. We wanted something relaxing, upscale, and within a 3 hour drive of our home in Connecticut. This place was perfect! Three elements contributed to our wonderful experience; the location, the amenities, and the staff. The location is wonderful. The hotel is situated right on the beach on Plum Island. Plum island is a modest beach community in a good way - mostly local residents who love the low key pace of things. The hotel beach never had more than several people set up in front of the hotel. We had an Ocean View King room which is on the second floor and has a semi-private balcony overlooking the beach and ocean. The ocean is about 100 feet from the balcony. There are beach lounge chairs set up directly in front of the hotel and folding beach chairs and umbrellas are available to take closer to the water. The amenities included bikes, a hot tub, parking, fire pits, and breakfast delivered to your door every morning. The rooms are well appointed with everything you'd need. The breakfast was fantastic! Every morning at 8am a small wooden box was delivered to your door, which included two baked eggs over greens, two fresh baked products, fresh fruit, oats, orange juice, and fresh coffee. I cannot tell you how enjoyable it was to carry this treasure box out on to the balcony every morning and enjoy the ocean view over breakfast! Despite a recent change in ownership and only being open for a few weeks, the staff was incredible. Shannon is the hotel manager and was really great at check-in and throughout our stay. Jay is the 'everything' guy... he walks the property throughout the day and will set up chairs on the beach for you, get you buckets of ice with bottles of water, and, most impressively, will sit down and have a nice conversation with you about the island, the property, surfing, etc. He worked for the previous owners and is a great resource for the hotel and the area. His recommendations for the fried clams at Bob Lobster was spot on! The rest of the staff are all friendly and have smiles on their faces. Overall, Blue exceeded our expectations. Admittedly, we had four perfect weather beach days - so Mother Nature may have tipped the scales in their favor! The hotel is upscale without pretentiousness. A few things that may bother some people... no restaurant/bar onsite, no pool, and no activities/water sports. These were not a problem for us. We were content to relax and soak up the sun on our balcony and on the beach. We kept our refrigerator filled with cold "beverages." We had great meals in several places minutes from the hotel. We will definitely be back! read more

This hotel is completely amazing. We stayed in the Oceanview Queen room, and it was perfect. The slider opens to an open deck with a hot tub and Adirondack chairs, where you can watch beautiful sunsets and sunrises and hear the sound of the waves. The view really is unbeatable. The room is clean, modern, and very beachy, but the fireplace makes it very cozy, too. Everything in the room is articulated toward the ocean, and the view doesn't disappoint at any time of day. Fantastic shower, too! Guests are given iPads with suggestions for places to eat, drink, and explore, which was really helpful. The manager made great recommendations, as well, especially The Poynt, which was phenomenal. All in all, it was a wonderful visit, and I would highly recommend Blue! read more

What else can be said? Beautiful rooms right on the beach with the picnic breakfast and five-star hospitality. This is a total hidden gem!

OK....so here it is....''the crew at the blue'' were sensational....Jay, Shannon, Caroline, were friendly , receptive, and professional, it was nice to be pampered, which is out of my element....stayed in cottage 14 ..and had some company ,firefighter friends and relatives and no-one complained about our bagpipes music that was played on the 15th anniversary of 9/11....cottage was perfect, breakfast being dropped at the font door every morning was a pleasant surprise, the close proximity to plum island refuge where I was able to drive on the beach and the plum island grille atmosphere for afternoon dinner was just some of the things that were part of the mental well being maintenance during a mini-vacation...''the crew at the blue'' sealed the deal for a return trip...they topped it off with their over the top hospitality .....Thanx BB read more

If you are looking for a quiet and private time on the beach, this is the place for you. The staff is very courteous and helpful. If you go into town, the local people are very nice also. Great restaurants, bars, and shopping! I highly recommend waking up early to watch the sun-rise, its absolutely amazing!! read more

It was our dream wedding weekend come true! The folks at Blue were so awesome in helping us plan what turned out to be pure perfection (folks are STILL talking about our wedding 3 years later). We coordinated with family and friends and managed to rent out the whole property... the Grand Salon... every cottage... every room... it was SUPERB! Our rehearsal dinner was on the deck of the Grand Salon with a gorgeous view of the ocean accented with a beautiful double rainbow after dinner. The decor is a delightful blend of South Beach Delano Hotel meets New England Coastal town... we couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to spend the weekend. Granted, it was pricey, but we got what we paid for. We are very much looking forward to an anniversary getaway there sometime in the near future. read more

A must for any beach lover! Gorgeous beaches and ocean views. Rooms are available ocean side as well as cottages directly across the street. Off street parking on a quiet residential area. We stayed in a cottage across the street with a kitchen small living room a bathroom and two separate bedrooms. Private patio with access to a hot tub and fire pit. Guests can use one of two hot tubs on property. Blue provides beach chairs and umbrellas. Shout out to Stuart at the blue who helped us with lighting fires, and so much more!!! Bring your own supplies of snacks, water and alcoholic drinks as stores are limited on the main island. There is only one restaurant on the island. Most of the time you have to drive to newbury for meals but it's only a 5 min drive. Nice downtown area with cute boutique shops. read more

This place is incredible. Stayed here with a group of friends in the Grand Salon on short notice and everything was perfectly prepared for us. The perfect combination of modern and rustic, the view is like a portrait. Ocean Front views and rooms so close to the beach you can hear the waves all night. Staff was amazing, very friendly and everything was in pristine condition. Hardly anyone on the beach - not crowded at all. Perfect place to getaway that isn't a tourist hot spot. Would highly recommend. Came up from NYC. Worth every cent. read more
