    We stayed 2 nights at the Blue Bay Inn while attending a wedding at Sandy Hook. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. Staff was courteous and friendly. Conveniently located and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this lovely Inn for your next stay in the Highlands area.

    What a lovely and charming Inn!! The last time I stayed somewhere so beautiful and with such excellent service, it was in a European 5star hotel. The staff remembers everyone's name, the food is delicious, the rooms huge and oh so comfortable. Can't wait to return in the summer to enjoy how close it is to the beach.

    We found the Blue Bay Inn on the internet. What a wonderful experience. My wife and I arrived to a great staff, warm smiles and clean clean rooms. The staff suggested taking a walk down to the new trail by the water. I have never experienced nature so close to home. The trail that winds it way along the bay was a magnificent it was called the Bay Shore Trail. Some people were riding bikes and some were just sitting watching the water. In one area they were fishing and there was a great fishing boat so close to the trail I was amaized. Everyone We rested in the room ate dinner at the Copper Canyon Restaurant and had the most magnificent crab cakes and steak. Then we went to the movie theater (within 2 blocks) for a movie before bed. The breakfast was well, surely a light continental breakfast but good and fresh. We went to indulgence cafe around the corner for bacon and eggs, Cheep $12 for both of us. When we got back to the hotel we were greeted by the General Manager Bob and Patty and told of all the things in the area to do, We took our map and went exploring. Sandy Hook beaches were less than 2 miles down the road and were magnificent. Not to mention the sun was shining, unlike today. We had food at the Sea Gulls nest right on Sandy Hook and relaxed. Later we went back to town, saw the sunset over the Manhattan skyline and ate again at Copper Canyon, Just cant get enough...... The next day we had to leave. It was the most relaxing mini vacation we have been on in a long time. Our room was was quite reasonable. We highly recommend the place. Call Bob if you have question he is surely at the helm of this magnificent establishment.

    Our stay at the Blue Bay Inn was wonderful. It was just the relaxing break that I needed. The room was very spacious, clean and very well decorated I especially like the color scheme of the room we stayed in. Patti, the day time front desk agent was beyond helpful, she gave us a free room upgrade with our "special night package" and she was very knowledgeable regarding local eateries. we were made to feel very welcome even though our stay was in my opinion too short. The Copper Canyon's food was delicious although the atmosphere was a bit too noisy. The Piano bar was more a pleasant environment with great tapas. I would definitely go back especially during to off season. Coming from NYC the peace and quiet made the stay all the more enjoyable.
