A quick overnight stay with my sister and elderly mother. We stayed in one of the cottages. Price was right for off season. Parking was a little walk, not bad. The pathway to the cottage was difficult for my mother to navigate with a walker: sand, glass pebbles, patio steps. The smell of the cleaning supplies was pleasant but quite overwhelming, we had to air the cottage as it gave us all an immediate headache. Once aired it was fine. Bring your own food/drinks off season, as nothing but a little convenient store was open at 5pm and food items there were expensive!

Really enjoyed our stay at Blue Inn. High quality accommodations in all respects. Right on beautiful beach. The staff was always available and helpful. Newberryport town a delight with walkable marina and many unusual shops and restaurants in a tranquil friendly atmosphere. Summer weather in the 70’s as hoped👍

We stayed in the Lark Suite. The room was spacious and had 180 degree breath taking views of the Atlantic Ocean. I would highly recommend staying in this particular room.

Perfection! Everything from the check in to the check out was amazing. The rooms are gorgeous. Delivered breakfast was delicious with plenty of hot coffee. Beach was quiet and everything was provided, chairs, towels and water. We will be going back.

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.
