Blue - Inn on the Beach is a fabulous property. It is well hidden on a stretch of beach on Plum Island that we never knew existed ( and we lived near Newburyport for many years)! The sunrise views of the ocean from our deck, the comfortable bed and breakfast delivered every morning at your door are to die for. We can’t wait to return!

Loved the whole vibe of this place. Our room opened right onto the beach. Awesome morning sunrises. Breakfast baskets delivered to the door. We will be back to enjoy the free bikes and another stay at the Blue.

We are former residents of Plum Island and always wanted to stay at the Blue. We moved two years ago and wanted to visit, so we took it as an opportunity to stay at The Blue. Maybe it just didn't live up to the hype, or the gray/cold time of year, but we were overall just okay with the stay. Beautiful view from our ocean front room, which was clean and neat. Very beachy vibe and style. We weren't able to take advantage of the outdoor seating and a walk on the beach due to the weather. The downsides we encountered were limited. The evening internet was horrible, although the next morning it was okay (I had a working morning with Zoom calls, so I needed it). Maybe the evening had too many streamers, but the hotel did not seem very occupied. There is also no real work surface in the room. A small/low coffee table was it. If you plan to work on your vacation, bring your own table. There is also no community lounge area. The Blue did a great job with most of the details, but small important details were missed, like only 3 sugars and 4 regular creamers in the room's coffee condiments. Plenty of artificial sweeteners and hazelnut creamers. Great presentation with the breakfast basket, but only the yogurt and coffee were good, minus the missing condiments. The eggs were not. We got The Blue out of our system. We can cross it off the bucket list. We don't expect that we'd stay there again.

This place is a gem! Beautiful room, well furnished and appointed, breakfast delivered to your door at a time of your choosing, perfect ocean view, and a staff that is only visible when you need them. The location right on the beach and very close to the wildlife preserve on Plum Island is perfect.

Feel in love with Newburyport ❤️

Probably the best hidden secret in MA. Love the proximity to town and nature. The beach and the views are second to none. The beach front room is a must! A combo between being one with nature and having the luxury of life! ♥️

I stayed in the Lark Suite and it was well worth it. Everything was neat, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The views from our room were amazing and just what we wanted. All of the staff was very friendly, and they assured us to let them know if there was anything else we needed. Everything was perfect! I would definitely stay there again.

Blue-Inn on the Beach - Thank you

First time stay and it lived up to everything they advertised. The view was to die for and the breakfast was a delightful picnic basket in the morning at our door, with a pot of coffee. We will return when the weather is warmer but the fireplace in the room made it very cozy even in the cold weather.
