Wow, what a find! This place is incredible and we will be returning just to stay here. It is on the beach and our room had a deck that overlooked it with lounge chairs and sunbrella. The breakfasts that show up at your door in the mornings are well balanced and delicious! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Make sure you eat at Bob Lobster while your there!

Beautiful property. I stayed there 18 years ago and always wanted to go back. So glad we did. We loved our beachfront view. It rained a lot, but it was still a very relaxing getaway. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. Newburyport is just a 10-minute drive with top shelf restaurants. We enjoyed The Coffee Factory for lunch, they serve a great cup of Joe and the food is delicious. Bar25 NBPT has craft cocktail that are off the charts, and the food was just as good!

We loved our stay. The room was clean and well appointed, if you were staying a few days with kitchen. Other than the location on the beach, the best part about the Inn was service. The woman working at the front desk was very friendly and professional.
