Maureen was incredibly accommodating and a wonderful host. Being able to rent a golf cart from The Bay View was a huge bonus. Rooms were neat and clean. We will definitely be planning to stay here whenever we are able to return to Tangier!

So you are probably looking at these reviews because you are interested in visiting Tangier Island and you trying to figure out where to stay. Good! Tangier Island is a place where the only way to fully appreciate the island is to stay a night or two. After the tour boats leave, that's when the island really comes to life. The island transforms out of tourist mode and everyone seems to relax. The true identity of the island and the people who live there appears.In August (2019) my wife and I decided to plan a trip to Tangier Island around mid September. Our plan was to stay two nights so we needed to find a place to stay. This was our first trip to Tangier Island so our only hope was to read the reviews and make a decision from there. In the end we chose Bay View Inn B&B.Lets get one thing out of the way from the start, and frankly, it is the only negative comment I can make. Bay View Inn does not look like the bright white house with a bright red roof you see in the photo. Instead Bay View Inn, like nearly every building on the island, has a bit of a run down look. So yes, the Inn could use some TLC. But also like every building on the island, Bay View Inn has some very hard working and polite owners... Jim and Maureen.Our room was clean and our bed was comfortable. We had a small fridge, a microwave, flat screen tv connected to Direct TV, and Wi-Fi. We never used them but we could have went kayaking using the kayaks the were available for the guests to use. Each morning we made our way to a room connected to the main house for the most marvelous breakfast. If you are lucky you will get to try the blueberry muffins! Seating was perhaps a little limited but there was never a problem during our stay. There was plenty of coffee too! Either Jim or Maureen would take our order then disappear to make our food. Meanwhile the other would stay and greet newly awakened guests and kept our cups full. The atmosphere during breakfast in that room was amazing. Most of us guests mingled and talked with one another, talking about plans for the coming day, getting ideas, and telling stories. It is best to tell you that you may want to come hungry to breakfast. The food is plentiful and very delicious.In the end we were sad to leave. Maureen gave us a ride back to our ferry on the golf cart, we said our goodbyes with a hug and boarded the boat. We left very happy with Bay View Inn and we left with promises to return. If you want a good place to stay during your stay on Tangier Island then give Maureen a call. You will leave Tangier Island happy that you did.

Clean accommodations, close to everything, kayaks, including a tandem, for guest use, and a fantastic breakfast make this place the place to stay on the island. Maureen and David work tirelessly to see to your every need.

Great people. Jim & Maureen were very welcoming. It was like hanging with people you knew for awhile. Rent a golf cart to see the island. The view from the top deck for sunsets was wonderful. We had breakfast the next morning and our host gave us some history about the inn & island. I would definitely return.

AND their brakfast is like no other you will find on the island, delicious!!They are great folks and their Inn is the best.Bill and linda lane

Stayed at the Inn for 3 days with a photography group and had a great experience. The area is quiet, the rooms were clean and the breakfasts were delicious! They even offered seconds and thirds to some in our group. Maureen and Jim are very accommodating. Would definitely recommend the Bay View Inn.

If it's a warm welcome and a hearty breakfast you're lookin for on this stunning island, you'll find both at The Bay View Inn. Our group of photographers enjoyed Maureen and Jim's hospitality and willingness to work with our time schedule (trying to find the perfect light at dawn, etc.) The Bay View is a special place.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2019. Clean room (#7); good bed and shower. Owners are nice and were attentive. Delicious, hearty, full breakfast. We plan to return To Tangier Island next year and stay at Bay View again.

I was part of a photo workshop group. I was in Room 6 which was part of a 2-unit building steps from the main house. I liked that it was more private and had its own direct entrance to the outside and a small porch. Jim and Maureen were great hosts with knowledge of the island and also good cooks. I'm not sure if Jim does all the cooking. Jim was very helpful looking into a problem I had with my camera equipment. I may come back in the Spring and would definitely stay there. Also, if you visit, rent a golf cart. It is how everyone gets around the island.

the Bay View Inn is exactly what I was looking for it terms of a vacation. The area is very nice and relaxing, and the people that run the inn are amongst the most hospitable I've stayed with.I could tell the two people that run the inn do so out of passion and not for just the business. They're mor than willing to talk about the area and give idea on what to do.If you're looking for a beach party, Tangier is not your place, but if you're looking for an otherworldly vacation is a pristine environment, this is for you

Visited Tangier for the history and for an AR game I play. Stayed here, based on word of mouth. Very cute place, comfortable, clean and very friendly owners. Small room and very small shower, but can't complain too much, as it's very much in keeping with the surroundings. Free transport from the ferry, which was nice. Very quiet, and no hassle. Would stay there again, if I were to go back.
