Circa 1825. Desirably located in a shoreline town, this 19th century, landmark Victorian colonial offers pampered relaxation. Working fireplaces exude a warm ambiance in the lounge and reading room with antiques and overstuffed wicker furniture. Relax on the flower-filled deck. Stay in the Queen Anne Room with a Jacuzzi or soak in the Cottage Room’s clawfoot tub. The Garden Room is handicapped accessible. Enjoy continental fare in the breakfast nook. The inn features the county’s largest day spa with twelve treatment rooms, private areas for makeup application and waxing, and a large, bright glassed-in sun porch for manicures and pedicures. Be sure to check out the gift shop for body and aromatherapy products and other great items.

Innkeeper Note

By The Sea Inn & Spa is housed in a 19th-century Victorian Colonial renovated to accommodate the operating needs of a modern inn and spa. Although upgraded to embody every cultural convenience of the 21st century, all 7,200 square feet of this landmark building remain a bastion of old-world charm and elegance. It is just a stone's throw from Branford's picturesque historic green and bustling Main Street which is lined with sophisticated clothing boutiques and wonderful ethnic restaurants.

Our room was relaxing and cozy, our dinner at Le Petit Cafe amazing and a little weekend getaway to put us in a good mood. The spa aspect of this B & B truly makes it an absolute winner! We are thankful to find a place close to our home that will help us find serenity every once in a while!

I truly felt like a queen in the Queen's room!What a wonderful, restful and peaceful time I had. Thanks to my wonderful husband & daughter who gave me this gift. My love for them is everlasting. Thanks to By the Sea and their staff for such a great massage and fabulous mani and pedi. I will most likely be back soon...once w/ hubby and once w/ daughter. Keep up the good work of rejuvenating people to press on.
