Our lovely 1845 townhouse is the only B&B in town that overlooks the river. We are located a short walk from the historic downtown, filled with restaurants, galleries and entertainment and 3 miles from the ocean and a national bird sanctuary. The two guest rooms with a shared bath are decorated with African and European art. Both have queen beds, cable TV and air conditioners. A generous breakfast is served. Parking is behind the house. A kayak and boat launch is 300 yards away.

5 out of 5Comfy...felt like we were with family
October 24, 2012
This is the only B&B I will ever stay at in Newburyport. I wanted ambiance, and that's exactly what I got. Chuck and Ann are gracious hosts and really made us feel welcome. The bed was so comfortable...wish I could take it home with me! I also love the fact that there are only 2 rooms (and the other room was vacant during our stay) so we had total privacy. Just enough of a walk from the shops and restaurants to walk off dinner makes 167 Water Street the total package! E komo mai...welcome

September 13, 2011
Anne and Chuck were great hosts from when we arrived with Chuck helping us with our luggage up the flight of stairs to when we left this quaint and nice B & B. Our room was nice and comfortable, and air-conditioned, and breakfast was nice too. We will definitely consider staying here again when we travel back to Newburyport. Thank you very much Anne and Chuck from Karen and Mike in Dallas, Texas.

August 03, 2011
Newburyport is an amazing town and 167 Water Street is a pleasant walk to all of it. The hosts were absolutely wonderful: helpful, fun and great hosts. An additional plus is proximity to Plum Island where there is a national wildlife preserve plus wonderful recreational beaches.
4.6 out of 5Awesome stay in Newburyport
July 23, 2011
For a trip to the north along the coast we were looking for a family run B&B with close contact to the owners -- and we really found what we were looking for: helpful friendly owners, big breakfast and a lot of interesting stories and many good tips on what to do in the area.
3.0 out of 5An Excellent Place

I highly recommend this bed & breakfast. Hosts were friendly and knowledgeable; room was clean and attractive; location was great. I will definitely be back.
