    Had a lovely 2 day getaway for our 32 anniversary at By the Sea. Loved the room which was impeccable, the bed was very comfortable and huge! Short jaunt to downtown where we visited the Yale U art museum. The entire staff was friendly and accomodating. Loved the gift shop where I chatted for quite a while with staff and bought really cool reading glasses. Enjoyed a one hour massage that melted away all my troubles. Check out By the Sea for your next anniversary. The Sawyers, Shirley, MA

A lovely and restful place to stay, with excellent dining and a handsome town just blocks away. Spa available, doing brisk business. Couldn't be better. Barkers, East Orleans MA.
