4 reviews for Back Bay Inn
Back when I was single my married friends used to laugh and make jokes about how now that they're hitched they don't talk / laugh / makesexytime / likeeachother / etc. Now that we've been married a year, I'm relieved to learn that they were either kidding or we're abnormal.
Either way, I'm not fighting it.
For our first anniversary, we snuck away to the central coast for a quick mini-break. The husband made all the arrangements (please see my Cafe Bleu review for chronicles of the Valentine's Day Fiasco), leaving me with the sole task of choosing a spot for dinner. He booked us into the Back Bay Inn and has forever secured his status as a hopeless romantic.
The Back Bay Inn is perfect for a quiet getaway. Our front door opened up onto a small stretch of lawn and then - ocean. Sure the tide went out the next morning and left mud behind, but what loving couple doesn't know the benefits of a quick mudbath? Fantastic for the skin! The room was exceedingly comfortable, reasonably priced and included a cafe breakfast. Our hosts were friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable of the area.
Five enthusiastic stars.

My husband and I have been here three times, and we enjoy it a lot. Small intimate feel, new landscaping, and a very relaxed environment. Only a handful of rooms, but you can pick the exact room you want on line. Great lawn to read or just relax with a glass of wine, this is the perfect getaway. Rooms are comfortable but not luxurious. Prices are reasonable. Complimentary wine, cheese, and other snacks every afternoon at 5. Also, complimentary breakfast at the little restaurant next door - the breakfast is awesome, BTW. Ask for Larry the innkeeper. He has great recommendations for Los Osos and Morro Bay.
What's in Los Osos? Not much, which is PERFECT. It's a great little area to escape from the city.
My stay at The Back Bay Inn was spectacular. We were situated along the banks of the bay. Our first floor accommodation came complete with a huge bay window, a lanai and bay front entrance. We were able to spy on the wildlife without leaving the comforts of our room. It's unbelievably serene and the views are breathtaking.
Plus, the prices were not at all steep. Rooms range from $105- $145. Who said that good hotels need to be pricey?
It was very romantic, and although it couldn't salvage my relationship with the ex, I had a great time.
*3 1/2 Stars*

We definitely enjoyed our stay at the friendly little Back Bay Inn. They have about 12 or so rooms and all have either a balcony/lanai or a fireplace. We stayed in a second floor room (9) with a balcony overlooking the water. Well, it was over looking the water in the morning but the afternoon we arrived it was overlooking mud as it was low tide. (see my pics) It was pretty surreal to look out and see boats just sitting atop mud. But, in the morning the tide had rolled in and yes there was water. And, the view was really lovely and peaceful. We we able to lay in bed and watch the water. We then went down to the "Gathering Room" and grabbed some coffee to sip on our balcony as we had done with the wine & cheese they serve in the evenings.
We found the Inn very charming indeed. Also, there are pictures of all of the rooms on line so you can pick and choose as we did.
