Immediately on arrival we received a very warm welcome from Diane the owner who immediately made us feel very much at ease and at home. Diane who has such an friendly and enthusiastic personality could not do enough for us, this included lending us an eze-pass to use on the toll bridge to Newport, providing us with discounted tickets to visit up to three of the splendid Newport Mansions, booking dinner reservations for us and even giving us a 30% discount voucher for the excellent Trattoria Simpatico just around the corner.
The house itself, located only 2 minutes walk from the East Bay Pier, is a real delight full of interesting knickknacks and clocks. Guests have full use of a lounge as well as their own rooms. Our room was the Narragansett King room, a beautiful, spacious and light corner bedroom with windows on two sides. The windows also had black-out blinds should you not wish to woken by the early morning sunrise. The rooms were tastefully furnished with armchairs, flat screen TV, fridge, etc. The bed was extremely comfortable with high quality bedding. Also provided were good quality robes, iron, ironing board, hairdryer and a welcoming decanter of sherry. The bathroom was spacious and well equipped. In the hallway was a Koenig coffee maker with a good assortment of coffees, chocolate and teas as well as some seasonal snacks.
The scrumptious breakfasts were served in a sunny and airy conservatory (although in colder weather we understand they are served in a more formal dining room). They consisted of a baked good of some kind (muffin, fruit scone) freshly made by Diane, followed by a fruit plate and concluded by a hot entrée (Day 1-pumpkin pancakes, sausage & maple syrup – Day 2- almond French toast and bacon), plus of course juice, coffee tea etc..
Our two-day stay was a total delight with Diane and her husband Paul doing everything possible to make our visit so enjoyable. We would have no hesitation recommending East Bay, located on the beautiful island of Jamestown and an ideal base for visiting the attractions of the more crowded, expensive and busy Newport only a 10 minute drive away

“Best bargain of the trip”
This was our final night of a 6-night tour of southern New England. We chose the East Bay because of all the reviews on tripadvisor--and it turned out to be the best bargain of our whole trip. I agree with everything everyone else has said here. Diane and Paul have made a wonderful B&B, with only two years' experience under their belts. Rooms were very nicely decorated, comfortable, and well furnished (nothing had been forgotten). Breakfast was delicious, and Diane being the gracious server, was more than willing to share stories with the guests about the house and the Jamestown area. The B&B is in easy walking distance of the harbor, restaurants, and shops. We only stayed for one night, but will definitely be back again for a longer stay.

“Hidden Gem!”
I traveled with my family in August of 2011. We had a wonderful stay! The breakfast was fresh and always delicious! Parking was a little bit of a difficulty because we had to park on the street somewhere, but in the end it wasn't really that big of a deal. The rooms were beautifully decorated and put together. There was a nice selection of DVDs that you could borrow. The breakfast room was summery and very welcoming. I can't wait to come back!

“Best business trip ever!”
East Bay Inn is in a wonderful location, just one block away from the main street in Jamestown. Diane and Paul were great hosts and their home is beautifully decorated. My room was spotless and I had two very relaxing nights there. Breakfast was delicious both mornings and ultimately, it was the most relaxing business trip ever! In future trips to RI, I will definitely come back!

“A little gem !”
Our stay this Summer at the East Bay B&B was fantastic. We're so glad we decided to stay in the qaint town of Jamestown rather than in Newport. Our room at the East Bay was beautiful. Diane's breakfasts were outstanding. Both Diane and Paul were outstanding hosts. What an unusal situation: NY Yankee fans in Bosox territory. They even have the MLB package so I didn't miss any of MY favorite team: the Phillies. Diane and Paul acted as our unofficial tour guides, giving us tips on where to visit both on the island and in Newport. We definitely recommend the East Bay to anyone going to the Newport area.
