Hotel overview

Located in the verdant surroundings of Misquamicut, Rhode Island, this inn offers a relaxed, beachside atmosphere where guests can unwind in charming rooms and suites. The Blue Whale Inn surrounds visitors with the rhythm of coastal life, conveniently positioned near Misquamicut State Beach and the vintage carousel at Atlantic Beach Park. Rooms feature coastal decor and air conditioning, creating a comfortable retreat after a day spent exploring or lounging by the ocean.

Guests appreciate the homey touches like complimentary breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and parking, as well as the welcoming outdoor garden area with ample seating and a grill.

“We were very pleased wirh our stay at The Blue Whale Inn. The room was clean, AC kept it ice cold and it was nicely decorated. The garden area was beautiful and had plenty of outdoor seating to relax with our group. We loved that they had everything you needed for the beach and the pass for access to the private beach. The owner Christine could not of been nicer. We will definitely plan to stay here again!”

“Staying at the Blue Whale Inn was such a wonderful way to experience Rhode Island for the first time. I called before I arrived as my ETA had changed Christine (owner) was very helpful and let me know to just call when I arrived. When I arrived Christine was very friendly and showed me the two different rooms I could choose from which was unlike any inn I have ever been to. The rooms are all beautiful with coastal decor and very homey. The complimentary bottle of champagne was a sweet gesture. There were several bottles of water in each of the rooms. The rooms were spacious and super clean. The outdoor shower was amazing with the hot water which was necessary to get the sand off after a day at the beach. Christine was around the inn always friendly willing to help or give recommendations on what to do or where to eat. She has several wagons, beach chairs and boogie boards for her guests to utilize. The outdoor space had plenty of seating, tables a grill and lights the flowers surrounding were beautiful! I could not have asked for a better stay at the Blue Whale Inn. I cannot wait to come back! The hospitality is unmatched!”

“This was an absolutely lovely stay!!! The rooms were perfect for our family vacation, so cute and well thought out. The owner is so incredibly sweet, gave us some great recommendations for food and even made some late night sweets to share with us! The walk to the beach was easy and having the carts and chairs available was perfect. The backyard is perfect for relaxing with a coffee and was perfect for my niece and nephew to have somewhere to play! Would definitely stay again!”
