Oh my goodness! This little inn was quaint, clean, adorable & just across the street from a quiet beach area. The area is walkable, & there are some good places to eat. The bed was super comfy. The room was very clean. The gentleman who checked us in was so nice. Just a wonderful little place!

This was my second time staying at the Bay Inn, and it is a pretty little hotel with a hidden courtyard that is conveniently located near the beach and for me, near my family who live in the area. The rooms look out on the lovely courtyard, which has outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are extremely clean and have all the amenities I want: fridge, microwave, coffee/tea machine, a blow dryer and an iron. It is cozy and I have enjoyed staying there and I plan to visit again soon.

Cute place overall and a short walk to the beach. My shower didn't have hot water and the room was pretty ancient, aside from the vanity mirror which was quite modern. Decent spot given the location but the price outweighs most of the good remarks.
