Great property on the water with nice grounds and sitting areas. Staff was friendly and helpful. Couple great breakfast options snd saw a restaurant and bar with live music within a block of the hotel. Fantastic walking trail about 5 minutes away too. Would definitely return.

Slept well but shared parking with restaurant
The property photos, all show the upgraded images. Our room was in a non upgraded room with tiny old bathroom and no counter space for toiletries in a small strip of rooms attached to a Thai restaurant where they started equipment before 8am. The property has beautiful grounds but we wish they had put us back away from the noisy neighbors. Could use a new bed.
The staff was very friendly, able to start the check in process since we were early and allowed us access to the grounds before the room was ready for us. The room was very clean and comfortable, the garden was beautiful, and overall was one of the best stays.
The fan in our bathroom started acting up and the response was almost immediate to get it fixed. If we come back to the area, we plan to stay here again. Thank you Back Bay Inn!
Great view of the bay from the room. Room was just the right size. Kruge in the room. Coffee shop on site for breakfast. Several smaller restaurants in the area and a small liquor store for odds and ends. Calm and quiet area. Parking not that great.
We had such a wonderful time at Back Bay Inn! The bungalow was cozy, private, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved how dog-friendly the property was, it made the trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Buffy our dachshund loved it. Check-in was a breeze, and everything felt smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful stay with comfort and charm!
We will be back!
The “garden view” rooms look upon cars and a small parking lot with the garden beyond so that was not entirely honest. I can appreciate we are in a quiet country area but the tiny shower stall, tiny bathroom sink, and single narrow glass shelf (only wide enough for a tube of toothpaste) did not “read” as the 3.5 star hotel it claims to be. The location however is gorgeous but it is not a 3.5 star hotel. It also smelled so strongly of bleach when we arrived we had to open all the windows and the door. Again, a very low budget experience.
Great location and very quiet. Wonderful coffee and breakfast burrito at Natica Coffee. Pictures on Expedia showed ocean views, not the case for many of the rooms. Cobwebs in the room.
It is a wonderful place for vacation or just relaxing with its location beside the bayside. Walkable and not far away from beaches. The kitchen is fully equipped and spacious. It is a great small town with lots of restaurants around.
The property was nice. The garden room isn’t really looking onto a garden. It’s adjacent so that was a little bit disappointing. But the grounds are very lovely and taken care of nicely. Although my room did look out onto a dead hedge.
I enjoyed that there were two cats that popped around every once in a while. The service was very good. Everything I needed was taken care of right away. The room I was in was showing some signs of aging. But I understand it’s hard to keep everything fresh when there’s so many people going through. I wish there’d been a microwave, but they didn’t have that and no kettle for tea in the room. But I could use the Keurig for hot water.
All in all, it was a very pleasant place and I recommend staying there.
